MikesVikes Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 (edited) In a Td only league, there are more RBs available to help you out. There may be some goalline backs that shake out during the season. Since the yardage is meaningless, less chance to miss the boat on one. For my second back, I took a plunger from a power team, Bettis. Forget about Staley injured or not injured. The Duce doesn't score it. After seeing the stats from last year, I'm not as down on my #1 back, D Davis. He scored 14 while Bettis scored 13, placing both in the top 10. The best team may not jump out as the best on paper. In fact every time I look back at last year's roster at the start of the next season, it always looks horrible. But the fact is you only need tds. and during the course of the season you trade for players that score and drop those that don't. By the end of the season you have the producers on your team, but they may not look like your protypical starter on a performance roster.

MikesVikes Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 The biggest mistake I make every year in a TD only league is grabbing RBs that look like they are falling more than they should. Two RBs in the first rounds, no problem. But when the others are grabbing starters to fill out their lineups, it's way too hard not to grab one of those backs that are falling.

MikesVikes Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Still available to me was Bettis, Bell, Carnell Williams, Arrington, C Brown, and Dunn. 1. Bell - It's way too possible for Anderson to come in at the goalline and take over. But only if he isn't already in the lineup anyway. 2. Carnell - A little on the small side. With Gruden, you have a great chance to see Pittman come in for the short yards. 3. Arrington - I really don't see any other back taking much from him. Denny doesn't seem to have any use for the other backs on the roster. But just how many goalline attempts will there be. Fitzgerald will get more scores from 2 yards out than most of the backs. More that Boldin for that matter. 4. Dunn - Since I consider other backs farther down the list (none that were in danger of getting drafted) a better chance of scoring TDs, I just passed until later.

Randall Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Wow, Maverick picked up Larry Johnson(to go with Priest) in the 4th round. Guess he didn't want anyone grabbing him away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Stalled again. Oh well. When people don't pre-draft or check in regularily it forces others to pre-draft more players than they would like. I did several rounds. At least it's just a mock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
