darin3 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 The more I read about this, the more I'm interested. If you can get Williams late, he could easily be the steal of the draft. Yes, Brown was off to a torrid pace last season, but his knee is still quite sore and he hasn't had good numbers this preseason. Yes, just preseason, but it's something to consider. Parcells and Sparano won't settle for a gimpy Brown and this is definitely Williams' "last chance", one must think. I'll be targeting Williams as an RB3 in my local league's draft this Saturday... with the potential for him to put up RB2-type numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo2146 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I agree Williams is a STEAL late in a draft I took a flyer on him intwo leagues while people were picking back up WR's and RB'S I wanted I snatched Williams. He is still my rb3 but could be my rb2 Westbrook T. Jones J. Stewart R. Williams Moss Boldin Chambers D. Bennett B. Johnson When I drafted I didn't even think he would crack my starting line up but know he might replace Boldin as RB2. Good luck to all R. Williams owners and way to stick your neck out. This could win your championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports all of season I saw said he was the best player on the team and Ricky didn't think he and Parcells would get along but they do. He wants to clear his name and go out on a positive note. They let him back in the league because he was in treatment for 5 1/2 months in Boston. He may be big early in the season and fall off as Brown gets more work. Maybe trade him when his value is high. They have a pretty good offensive line. He could put up RB1 numbers(Ronnie Brown did) for a while early in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scourge Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) I agree that this is a very interesting situation developing. I just recently had my first draft of the season and I put together a solid squad. In a PPR league, my first 4 RBs were (drafting at 5 in a 10 team league)Addai, R. Bush, M. Turner and Matt Forte. I was a bit shocked to see Ronnie still sitting there in the 10th round undrafted, so I drafted him and then took Ricky in the 11th. So, with those two being my 5th and 6th drafted RBs, needless to say I am very interested to see how this all plays out. I also have Wayne, Santonio, Steve Smith and Roddy White as my top 4 WRs. With Shaub and Delhomme as my QBs, I could potentially make a trade down the line if one of those 2 Dolphin RBs emerges as the starter to grab a better QB.. WHOOP WHOOP!

If either Ronnie or Ricky can get the job alone you could have a nice situation. Even if they share it appears the team with run and throw to the backs a lot. Steve Smith Carolina is your 3rd?

My first 12 rounds looked like this... 1.05 Addai 2.05 Wayne 3.05 R. Bush 4.05 Santonio 5.05 Smith (steal) 6.05 Turner (steal) 7.05 Roddy White 8.05 Forte 9.05 Shaub 10.05 Ronnie (steal) 11.05 Ricky (steal) 12.05 Delhomme (steal) I couldn't believe what was falling to me. My starting lineup would be rounded out with Heap (if healthy), Seahawks, and S. Graham... Heap is the only pick in my draft I am not crazy about. I also got Pierre Thomas and Kevin Jones for insurance since my draft was so early in the preseason and my WR 5 and 6 is Porter and K. Walter.. Not too bad..

I had a team like that in a Packer fans league, was dominating everyone then got knocked out the playoffs. What's ironic is I won the super bowl with my worst team.

I have #5 in my local, and I'm already thinking of going Moss-Romo-Ricky 1,2 & 3 for a fun gamble this year. One has to wonder how much of last year's 'torrid pace' that Brown put up was a result of line play that Ricky may or may not benefit from this year. Still, any guy who is The Man in what is essentially a Parcells based system is a guy to have. CMartin anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameltosis Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I took him in the 10th round of a 12 team redraft 2 days ago. Its not my big money league but its not a slouch league either. I really hope this pays off as the RB's on my bench are thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price has gotten too high for me. that's where he's been going, mid 4th to early 5th, he's listed as the starter, done well in preseason and once was a heck of a starting RB, if he can return to those days there will be owners counting cash.

Pope Flick Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) When people talk about what round a guy goes in, is it usually in reference to a 12-team draft? I thought that was a pretty good pick and I would've certainly scooped him up had he fallen to me in the next round. I had my draft pick queue set up and he was fourth or fifth in that list of remaining RBs. That's an important point: that was pick 4.06 in a 16 team, which makes him #54, or 5.06 in a 12 team. If you're in a league where a starting RB drops past the 5th in a 12 team league then you're playing with chumps including you.

That was the Good vs Evil league with 16 team House and 16 team Senate conferences. He was picked in the 4th in both. Naturally the republicans are the Evil in Good vs Evil.

Pitbull739 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 He just went 8.1 in a 10 team mock I just finished. Brown still went in the 4th, so I do not know the credibility of the drafters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are definitely behind the times. 2 weeks ago it was 9th, last week 6th now 4th from my observations in real drafts. He was a top RB 5 years ago. 7.05 77.
