I need your expert FFB draft help.

I would appreciate any advice you FFB people could give me. I play in one league with people I would very much like to crush. I am 'dead money' in this 12 man league.

So, here's what I have.....

In a serpentine(up & down) draft, I have the #2 selection of where I want to be in that draft order.

Do I take the #2 pick (if #1 is gone)?

and

Who's my #2 pick?

#23?

#26?

Any other draft position theories?

Thaks in advance to anyone who gives me any opinions. They are appreciated.

I'd go #2 and take Priest. If you're dead money, you just have to gamble.

In the majority of the fantasy leagues, Alexander is going #2, so you need to use the strategy they are allowing you to by picking you're own pick. Pick #3 and you'll be assured of either Priest or Alexander, most likely Priest.

Good point.

I would go 4th or 5th and take whoever falls to you. Edge, Manning, or Priest.

No way I take Holmes over Alexander. Holmes has tons more risk without much more upside.

10 td is a lot of upside to me.

I somewhat agree with you Tech, but since the OP is "dead money", I'm thinking he should gamble by taking Priest. Priest's ceiling is much higher than Shaun's. Kinda like when you're in a poker tourny against all world class players, you are going to have to gamble to win, you can't hope to outplay them.

Just make sure to draft Larry Johnson and you have a RB in a system much better than Seattle.

Are you saying that Holmes can put up 10 more TDs than Alexander this year? That is just asinine.

Sossman has the right idea- take the 4th or 5th spot. Someone ahead of you might make a mistake, and you are still guaranteed and elite player at that spot.
