Have the #10 & #11 picks - Pass on RBs?
Posted on 8/19/12 at 1:10 pm

I'm in a 10 team league with the following starters: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, WR/TE
This year is one of the toughest I can remember. After the top 4 or so RBs, there are huge question marks. Megatron is the only legit WR I feel comfortable taking at 10 or 11. And QBs are pretty deep this season, and I normally like to wait on those. I can see all kinds of different options here:
1) Gronk and Graham?
2) One elite QB (Rodgers/Brees/Brady) if still there and then top TE or WR?
3) Gamble with an injury prone RB (D-Mac, AP, maybe Forte) with a top WR/TE?
I dont want to go RB/RB because we can only play 2 and if I find value in someone later in the draft it wont be as important. But after Megatron, I really dont see a WR I want there either. I hate Fitz's QB issues, and I'd most likely lean Andre Johnson, even though he has injury issues as well.
It seems like its the ultimate risk/reward spot this year.
eta: It is not a PPR league

RB then TE
Then go RB or QB
Then go WR then the position you didn't get in round 3

Not a bad route, TB337. I'd probably go RB and WR with 3 and 4 and leave QB till the next rounds. QBs are just so deep this year, once you pass the top 3, I dont mind having any of the next 5 or 6.

I got lucky in mine, I ended up with Gronk and McCoy. You're going to have be flexible, the top 3 RBs and QBs will likely be gone.
I'd go for Gronk or Graham, and Stafford or Megatron if they're still there. With those 2 picks right next to each other, if McCoy/Foster/Rice is still there, you gotta take him.

Top five QBs
Rod, Brady, Brees, Stafford, Cam
Top five RBs
Foster
Rice
McCoy
MJD
CJ(so they say)
I've seen a lot of people go wr heavy early this year more than ever so I've seen Cam, J Charles, and Mcfadden in the third.
Lot of people are passing on Turner til the third or fourth round. With Gronk and Graham being so good they'll be gone too.
In the third you could pick up F. Jackson, Michael Turner, Adrian Peterson(I know
) maybe even Forte.
If Calvin Johnson is gone before the tenth, pick a QB and RB, if not a QB and CJ. You could get turner, F. Jackson, Peterson, or forte in the third. Then go and be able to grab, J. Nelson, Cruz, J. Jones, or S. Smith in the fourth(just had a mock and that happened, not kidding).
Since you can play 2 TEs and only 2rbs, I think the rbs will be easier to come by.
Get a top 5 QB early, if not then just grab Gronkowski and a top WR.

Soooo....I went exactly how I said I wasnt going to go. Went RB/RB. I wanted McFadden and was ready to take him at 10 and then probably go QB or Graham/Gronk with 11. But Chris Johnson was still there and couldnt pass him up. So I went CJ and DMC. Hoping that injury bug stays away!
