wheezy jefferson

1996. Picked Tampa Bay RB Errict Rhett in the first round. He held out for 96 days and started only 7 games. 500 yards or so is what I got out of my very first pick ever. Horrible. To be fair, I was stationed in Japan and it was before the internet really exploded so my access to info was limited...but excuses are for chumps. In the long term it worked out worse for Rhett whose career never recovered.

Todd Collins, Alex Van Pelt, J.P. Losman, Kelly Holcomb, Trent Edwards, Thad Lewis, Jeff Tuel, Kyle Orton, EJ Manuel. Other than Bledsoe and for a brief period Fitzpatrick...it's been way too long since there was a legitimate fantasy QB in Buffalo. If Greg Roman can keep him from A) turning the ball over and getting hurt...he may generate enough rushing production to make a a viable bye week plug in for someone down the stretch.

I tried this for the first time at the 2 spot in a 12 franchise QB heavy 1 keeper league (15 roster spots). Starters 1 QB, TE, K, DEF...2 RBs, 2WRs, 1 WR/RB flex. This is what I wound up with: QB - Luck RB - Ivory, Stewart, Crowell, David Johnson, Matt Jones, WR - Cobb (K), Hilton, Evans, M.Bryant, Marvin Jones, Doug Baldwin TE - ASJ DEF - Buffalo K - Folk Unsurprisingly, the spray and pray left me with no depth outside the heavy skill spots. TE will have to be a week to week waiver wire scrounge. And I will have make some magic happen WHEN Stewart gets hurt. But like you said, there are always a few gems waiting in the wings as the season develops. All in all, it felt bizarre waiting till round four to pick up a RB.
