Damn, that was fast. They didn't begin until like June last year I think. Also, they have Antonio Brown as the #1 ranked player with Odell Beckham at #3.

I can understand that but I will never ever draft a WR with the first pick. Middle - End first round? Sure.

Unless PPR. I play a standard league traditionally.

Why? RB are more consistent so you can still find two pretty good ones in the 2nd and 3rd but its hard to find an elite WR because there is only maybe 4-5 that put up consistent numbers and none of them can mess with Antonio brown. That's why his value relative to his position makes him the unquestioned #1 pick. That's also why QB's shouldn't be touched early.

Can use the same argument for RB. I can get Brandon Marshall in the 3rd round and Allen Robinson in the 4th (or something like that) and be "pretty good" while if I am at the top of the first round, I can get a Jamaal Charles, Leveon Bell, or AP like guy who will be a monster all year. I like RBs because there are more WR you can play on matchups vs RB.

Fantasy Football is the Wal-Mart of fantasy sports...anyone can play, even the barefoot and shirtless.

You wont touch robinson in the 4th this year unless you're in a 6-8 team league and marshall doesn't have a qb to throw the ball to him right now. I know those were just expamples but there are only a few wrs who are match up proof. There is about 15 solid running backs that are all capable of having big years.

ARob could be a borderline 1st round pick.. who knows.

I mean what do you do if people make a run at WR's at the top of the draft and you pick at the bottom? You could get him and a solid RB

I am in fantasy baseball mode but I have to take a second and say there is no fricking way ARob is close to a first rd pick. Carry on. Out

1400 yards and 14 TDs doesnt do it for you?

okay no one is asking you to agree or disagree. All I was doing was taking a different point of view. So let me get this straight, you'd rather pick a RB at #11 if the Top 5 WR's are off the board?

RB is starting to become quite the dilemma in my opinion when using a first round pick. Last year Charles, Bell, and Marshawn Lynch really let you down if used a Top 5 pick on any of them. Demarco Murray and Eddie Lacy had uninspired seasons... I could go on.

I assume this means M/TV will be drafting end of May this year?

Fantasy Nascar is where it's at baws. Truly luck with that sport. Between that and baseball right now I'll wait till training camp starts to start looking at mocks.

Every champion knows that the key to winning is surviving through the WW. LeVeon injured? DeAngelo pickup after the owner who drafted him dropped him the week before he got injured. Marshawn not looking all too well? Hmm, this Rawls guy might have a chance. Everybody injured? Let me pick up a QB that seems to be warming up... Cousins. High towers is the only guy on the Saints that's a "hard runner". Let's go with it.
