Jedi_knights_2004 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Im drafting 6th over all and Im at a dead lock on who to pick. I was thinking J.Lewis or K.Jones at this spot. The others where just a just in case thing. but I feel Lewis and Jones will still be there. I have 1 RB going into the season J.Jones. Who should I take to play next to him?

yo mama Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Not to take out my fantasy-advice frustrations on you, Jedi Knights, but I wish more FF'ers spent as much time worrying about there 5th through 10th pick as they did their first. As someone around here once said, you don't win fantasy championships in the first three rounds of the draft. (Though you can certainly lose it there if you screw up). Its the middle picks that'll elevate your team to the playoffs and beyond. Long story short, I vote Lewis. But really, anyone but Dillon would be a good pick there. Now, go roll up your sleeves and work on who you plan to draft in those middle rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLGRAF Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 "I wish more FF'ers spent as much time worrying about there 5th through 10th pick as they did their first. As someone around here once said, you don't win fantasy championships in the first three rounds of the draft." I agree championships can be won by finding jewels in the middle rounds. But the gap in talent between, say, the 5th best overall fantasy performer and the 6th best performer will end up being MUCH greater than the gap between the 45th best performer and 46th best. In the middle rounds, I am looking as much at players bye weeks and my positional needs as I am at individual player talent. And, many of us don't have the time or inclination to deeply analyze 160-200 NFL players. The time and effort that would require would pretty much negate the benefit of possibly winning a few hundred dollars at the end of the season. And, when it comes down to it, you can have an absolutely perfect fantasy draft, and still miss the playoffs in your league, because injuries and LUCK play a huge role in fantasy football. So, since you can never be guaranteed to win anything, why turn running a fantasy team into a 2nd full-time job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emandg Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Jamal 922253[/snapback] Yep - I really like his situation this year. Went to the pen and needs to prove he is the man again. Also, the new offense with Mason, Clayton, and Heap along with one of his favorite blockers back from injury up front - a defense to keep opposing team scores low so they can afford the luxury of running without having to play catchup trough the air. Hes the man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildbluefan Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Deuce will have a rebound year, as the new offensive emphasis will be HE instead of Brooks ! To that end NO is brought in off line help and is scaling down the play book , I feel Deuce is candidate for comeback player of the year !

B Man Inc Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I like Dominick Davis. He may be a tad bit risky but I think he could have a HUGE year. I also have the 6th pick and I'm going to take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
