Jackson's TD numbers have been going down as he had only 4 all of last year. He also had nearly 400 touches last year. I would really be afraid to take him as crazy as that sounds.

I'm really feeling Turner this year.

:thumb:I am with you ,if Ryan doesn't kill him by trying to throw it 40 times a game .

It all depends on scoring. Most leagues it's RB. My big money league QB's are where it's at in the 1st two rounds. A. Johnson is the safest pick but it all depends on your league, how they draft and points.

I personally don't like S. Jackson much. If any of the first 4 are there I'd go that way. I think Turner should have a nice year and Snelling as his backup is solid. Gore is like Turner a risk but they have beafed up their oline and skill spots. There's a lot of backs like SD's rookie, Mendenhall, Benson, Greene, Grant that are solid and guys like F Jones, J Stewart, Wells etc that are high risk high reward.

I'm always a bit scared of RB's that carried the ball as many times as he has recently. People seem to forget he only played in 11 games last year.

The poll doesn't lie. I still just don't know. :idunno:

I've slept on it, and it looks like Gore is my guy. Looking at his stats he's had 4 straight 1,000 yard rushing seasons and 4 straight seasons of 373 receiving yards or more. Turner and Jackson are just too injury prone for me, and I think I can wait to grab a stud wideout until the second round (maybe wait until 3rd to get a 2nd tier WR) even though no one really compares to Andre.

I think you made the right choice man. How late could you get Randy Moss? Do you think he could slide to round 3 in your fantasy draft?

He did in Godot's National league and that has 16 players.

If you wait til rounds 4, 5, and 6 to select RBs I guarantee you'll be finishing towards the bottom of your league. No position even comes close to the importance of the RB.

 

Maybe 5 years ago. Not anymore. If you're in a 12 team league you have 36 starters at WR in most leagues and only 24 RB's. Once you get past the big 4 RB's it's all a crap shoot and most other people in leagues think like you. If you go out of the box a little you're drafting positions most people are ignoring. Where do you think Cedric Benson got drafted last year in most drafts? If you have 2 of the top 5 WR's in the league you can make up for being middle of the road at RB. Too many teams don't let one guy carry the load anymore.

There were keepers there, so I didn't know if it would translate to Blue Magic's league. But, I'd get some RBs if I thought I could get Moss in round 3. He's in a contract year I think and Tom Brady looked healthy yesterday.

Most leagues have 2 RBs, 2 WRs, and a Flex....You're playing in some incredibly weird leagues if the norm is 3 WRs...
