Who to pick at #4 overall?
Posted on 8/15/13 at 9:03 am
Posted on 8/15/13 at 9:03 am
I have the #4 overall pick in a 12 team league. Scoring is standard with 6 pts for every TD (rush/pass/catch). One can expect Brees and Rodgers to go in the first round for sure, probably not in the top 4 however.
I know people have this logic of drafting RBs galore due to lack of depth and all that, never more so than this year.
However, i am very much leaning on getting Megatron with my #4 pick and then doing RB, RB, WR potentially with next 3 picks. One way i deviate with next three picks is IF Jimmy Graham is around for my 2nd round pick. Then would have to go RB RB with round 3 and 4.
Any thoughts/feedback is appreciated.
Assumption is that AP, Martin, Foster are gone with top 3 picks.

Hope you're right about Lynch.

I'm looking at the same problem and I'm hoping Martin falls or I'm going to think hard about grabbing Spiller.

At 4 I'd go Lynch over Charles honestly. Lynch is a slam dunk for 1300yds and 10+ TDs.
Assuming AP, FOster and Martin are gone, I have Lynch as my #4 RB

Lynch is the safest pick after AP and Arian. Bunch of goal line touches, no time share, and big guy with few injury problems. It's who I'm taking at 3

Peterson
Foster
Lynch
Rice
In that order.

Calvin. Get the edge at receiver. He had a slow start last year with the lack of tds and still ended up with 220 points. Thee were only 6 backs that reached that mark. Nothing is certain in Fantasy, but you have to feel good about megatron's consistency on the most pass happy team in the league.
If you take graham in the second you will probably gain 10 points on your opponent each week, but you will sacrifice a ton at rb. It may be your only chance to get him though.
If you go Calvin and then graham look for demarco Murray, Reggie bush, Lamar miller, Eddie lacy type rb. You are going to have to find a diamond in the ough. I think lacy and miller are most intriguing. Although green bay doesn't run a ton, they usually only use 1 back and lacy will get those short td touches. Miller will be the guy and his explosiveness could be valuable. Murray is a decent grab in the third.....good rb2, but could return to r 1 form. Bush in a new offense is a risk, but he'll be working with a lot of space and is a great receiving rb in a passing offense. I think he'll have a spores affect.....spores would be another good likely option in 4th/5th.
Thank you autocorrect

Honestly I'd go Lynch too in that format.

Tough to take Calvin at 4 in a standard scoring league.

I take the running back. Every year I have been with the best available player strategy and you can make the argument for Megatron but I am all in on RBs this year.

im starting to over think things. I draft #3. Assumption is AP and foster are gone.
Deciding between lynch, martin, and charles.
Lynch:
Pros: been a beast, gets goal line touches, no time share
Cons: getting older, semi injury problems, younger play makers
Martin:
Pros: exploded last year, no time share, young
Cons: fluke?, most TDs came in only 2 games
Charles:
Pros: Andy Reid blows up these type of RBs, looks great, is a flexible player, big play potential
Cons: unproven new offense, injury problems?
what you got here?

yep
I would be happy with all 3 personally, but add spiller into your consideration:
Pros: YPC has been outstanding (6+), coaches have said he will get the rock until he is "sick", TD potential very time he touches the ball, QB situation is shaky, so they will rely on the run at all times
Cons: Injuries only IMO, as with every back.

i still think spiller is below lynch, martin and charles.
the "sick" comment worries me that he will end up getting hurt. also, running backs in the cold dont hold up well.

Ignore the "sick" comment, please. It's bullshite coach speak. If the avid fan knows giving the ball to a RB that much is not a good thing, then he should too.
I think he's probably trying to lure the guy in front of him in his fantasy league to take Spiller so he doesn't miss out on Calvin.

He's 27, not that old even for a RB.

when a RB lifespan on average is 4 years, hes old. he probably has 2-3 years before hes done.
