In one of my leagues that is drafting in the next couple of days, I plan to take with the #2 pick the best RB from this group.

Arian Foster
Adrian Peterson
Jamal Charles
Ray Rice
or someone else

Who do you guys recommend?

Do you get points per reception?

If not, I'd got Peterson, Charles, Foster, Rice.

If it is PPR, I'd consider Foster first, but probably still go Peterson first. Ray Rice or LeSean McCoy might be in the conversation.

No matter how you pick, you're going to get a great player. I'd focus more on what you're doing after round three.

This league is non-ppr. I have a feeling AP is going #1, if that's the case I'm torn between Charles and Rice at #2. Foster's hamstring concerns me.

In the 2nd round I have my eye on what ever top tier WR I can get my hands on late in that round, Maybe a vincent Jackson or Desean Jackson.

My draft is tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes.

If it's not PPR, I'd probably go Chris Johnson, actually. His stock was low because of the signing. However, he could easily return to being the best back, especially if the passing game opens up. I'd go AP, CJ, JC, AF, and then RR.

Nobody in the league is better at the long break away run than Chris, and that can mean pretty significant bonuses.

It's non-ppr so I will definitely keep CJ in mind. If #1 passes on Adrian Peterson then that would make things so much simpler for me.

The dude with the #1 pick passed on AP. when that happened, I did a little dance, then pounced.

Why do people pay money to play FANTASY football?

Why do people pay money to play FANTASY football?

To win money. And it's a lot of fun.

Not a fantasy football fan Swedd?

Not really. I know there are free leagues and all of that. But if I'm betting money, it's going to be something I have control over. What happens if you have all this money in a league and your best players all miss the year with injury? There goes that money!

That's part of the risk, believe me I've been on the wrong end of the injury bug before.

For me, the draft and the trash talk is a big part of it. It's another chance to get together with friends that you haven't seen in a while... And berate them for taking an injured Peyton Manning in the 2nd round :biggrin:

[SWedd523]

Yeah but..... $52 for Adrian Peterson? $49 for Ray Rice?


Maybe it's just because I'm in college, but I can't seem to justify those prices for a player lol

[dnbman]

Are you talking about an auction draft? Auction money is usually pretend with a $200 limit. While there are some big money leagues, most money leagues that I know of you pay between $20 and $50 for the season, maybe adding to the pot when you make trades or do the waiver wire. When you think about that over the course of the season, it's not really a big deal.

If you're a good person and win the league, you buy everybody wings and beers, and it's basically a way for everyone to get together and enjoy life.

Now that makes a lot more sense.
