Hi There. I'm making this thread in order to give advice in a game I consider myself quite accomplished at. Ask any questions here that you have about who to start/who to sit/who to draft/who to trade away or anything else fantasy football related.
My Credentials? Well I have yet to lose a fantasy football league I've been in, a game I've played every year since 2006. |

1,2,5,9,12 were at the draft. All the others were autopicked based on espns predictions. Oh yeah and the same guy who picked eli in the 3rd round picked the Cowboys D in like the 7th and a kicker in the 10th. I play him this week. I'll let you know how it goes. |

Sproles, Slaton, Evans, McGahee, Young, Westbrook and Rice. A bunch of backup RBs, a suspended WR, and a QB you dont even endorse. Personally I would have draferd differently, but so is fantasy. Good luck with that team in a league of no shows.

at 8:24 AM, Friday September 10, 2010 EDT My picks were 22 away from each other so if I hadn't picked Romo I would've been stuck with some crappy QB. Also Romo could have a great year this year, he definitely has the offense around him to make it happen.
And yeah the backup RBs are on my bench for a reason. In many cases starting RBs dont turn out so well, and teams will throw in the backup for a game who end up having great performances and getting more touches per game maybe eventually becoming the starter. (Remember the Julius Jones and Marion Barber situation?) The RBs i chose have tons of potential and could end up being that starter one day. They are pretty biggish names too so looking for a little trade value as well. As for Young, I'll only need him 1 week and I really like the titans this year, not sure where i did not endorse Vince Young. |

at 10:55 AM, Friday September 10, 2010 EDT Meh. Slaton has 0 upside. He has be relegated to kick returns. Mcgahee and Westbroke are in the shadows of rising stars. Sproles may have upside, but has never proven himself. Why not take a starting WR or RB instead of a backup?
I will continue to disagree on the QB issue. Romo may be good but he is by no means leaps and bounds above any other 2nd tier fantasy QBs. Just for reference look at the QBs taken after you took Jones and Sproles back to back... Flacco, Cutler, Kolb, McNabb, Ryan and Palmer... all decent options in my opinion. |

at 11:30 AM, Friday September 10, 2010 EDT since you can start a WR/RB, i would tend to try to get a starting RB instead of a Buf WR. Just sharing my thoughts, not being a douche

at 8:24 PM, Saturday September 11, 2010 EDT Yeah I see what you are saying. I didn't like any of the other running backs that were available, even if they were starting. We'll see how things go.

at 8:26 PM, Saturday September 11, 2010 EDT And i'll admit, my cowboy bias led me to pick Romo that early. It's just more fun to cheer on the Cowboys when you have some of them on your fantasy team. Like I don't know what I would do if I was playing romo on fantasy, I couldnt imagine rooting for him AND against him.

at 10:40 AM, Sunday September 12, 2010 EDT I usually pick the defense playing the crappiest team off of the free agent board each week, so I didn't need to use a high pick to get a titans D against Oakland.
