Chief Dick Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 James was probably the best rookie of all time. As a rookie he ran 369-1553 and added 62-586 as a receiver with a total of 17 touchdowns. Throw that into a PPR league and it was 316 points. He had 431 touches as a rookie. Man I miss those days... at least when you had an early draft pick. I went and looked - James ADP was 1.06 in 1999. When was the last time a rookie RB went in the first round? Man, I remember that year. I picked 12th in a 12 team draft. Took Eddie George at 12 and then James with the next pick. Then I picked up Kurt Warner after week 1 as a FA, and the rest is history. First championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Been burned too many times swinging for the fences with the latest hyped rookie RB. It's great when you draft these guys around their ADP and they explode, but man do you look stupid when you reach and they bust. And lately they have been underwhelming in their first year more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliaz Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Chris Johnson - Had him 2008 - 2010 (snaked him for $60 per year on a $1000 salary cap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuck rule Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I took Demarco Murray late in one league last year as a handcuff to Felix Jones and he helped me win some much needed games in the middle of the season. Now I have him as a late round keeper for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
