Great Debate: Rodgers over Rice, McCoy, or Foster

depends on scoring and # of people in your league.

RB in 8th round

why the frick are you waiting for the 8th round to grab a rb?

I'm just showing two scenarious holding rounds constant. The level of Qb still available in the 8th is a top 7-8 QB. The value of WR/RB in the 8th is not good at all as I wouldn't feel comfortable starting any of them. Drafting a QB in the first puts you in constant catch up mode. I'd rather be able to wait until 7th/8th to draft a quality QB starter than go with a QB early and draft a WR/RB in the 7th/8th and need him to start when he isn't starter caliber.

However, if qbs get 6 points for TDs I would probably go for Rodgers early.

This is true, but I've never played in a league that gave QBs 6 pts

There are none, barring some whacky scoring setup.

take yahoo projected based on your scoring

if AR+SJAX>RR+STAFFORD...then AR, if not then RR


it's all about which combination of starters will give you the highest production...based on where and who you can grab.

All leagues I'm in are 12 team, PPR, 6 TDs/QB

With 6 points for a passing TD, the top three draft picks should be Rogers/Brees/Brady IMO.
If it's 4 points, I'd take Rogers over anyone but Foster/Rice. Him and McCoy is a toss up IMO

Yea missing out on a good RB hurts this year, but having Rogers puts you WAY ahead of most of your league, and the guys who take Brees/Brady will have to catch up as well. You will just have to draft smart and take some RB's later with great upside and hope one pans out.

FYI: I did a mock draft and in the first three rounds I got
Aaron Rogers
Matt Forte
Steven Jackson

So depending on how fantasy savvy the guys you are drafting with are, it can work out

In this draft Gronk went in the first, Cam/Graham went second, Forte got back to me and I was like hell yea, and then Steven Jackson came in the third I was like WTF, I wish I could keep this team

eta: you can probably go
Rogers
Jackson/Charles/McFadden
AP (make sure to get Gerhart as well)

But is that better than getting say
McCoy
then lots of options in round #2 and #3 Jackson/AP/Fitzgerald maybe/MAYBE Graham/Gronk
then get Rivers/Romo in the 6th or 7th

/ means or btw
