Big Country Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Based on what I found researching my input in this thread, and noting that your scoring is not vastly different, my basic advice of waiting on a QB in this setup stands. I think you have to go AJohnson even with only 2 required WRs, then I think you really should strongly consider whomever you feel is the best available RB based on yet another season of stats disproving the idea that good RB value is easy to find late in the draft. Admittedly, hard to pass up on Calvin Johnson there, but, again, with only 2 required WRs, 2 required RBs, and only 0.5 PPR, it is a lot easier to fill that #2 WR hole in the 3rd/4th than it will be to find two every week RB starters in the 3rd/4th, at least in my opinion.

That thread is a great reference, Thanks! I am looking at Mendenhall/Turner/McFadden at RB . . . Calvin at WR and I have already taken Andre Johnson as pick number one.

Azazello1313 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'd prolly go AJ and mendenhall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpwallace49 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hardesty takes the air out of him IMO Now why would Hardesty take the air out of Hillis, but Ben Tate wont take the air out of Foster? Isnt that the exact same logic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Now why would Hardesty take the air out of Hillis, but Ben Tate wont take the air out of Foster? Isnt that the exact same logic? I never mentioned Ben Tate. If Hardesty returns in 2011 healthy, you can count on a full blown RBBC. Would I still draft Hillis? Absolutely! But not in the 2nd round. Somebody will I'm sure but I wouldn't. I don't see Ben Tate as a threat to Foster in as much as Hardesty is to Hillis. Tate is a must own B/U if healthy however.

Do you think he should drop becasue of the presence of ben tate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonsoxandy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 TRICK QUESTION impossible to answer until madden releases who they have on that f***ing cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Stanky Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) That may be so, but look for a RBBC next year when Hardesty returns full strength. Hardesty wasn't the picture of health at Tenn. either. In fact, he only had one year where he remained healthy. You can't help but root for the kid, but it sounds like his presence is going to make Hillis drop further than he should. I still wouldn't take him this high though. I would go Johnson and Johnson.

kpholmes Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 TRICK QUESTIONimpossible to answer until madden releases who they have on that f***ing cover. Poor Drew Brees Though with the way Jared Allen played this year, you'd have thought he AND Drew Brees were on the cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 AJ and Mendenhall would be my pick. But I'm a big time RB whore. BTW, one back I'm going to keep a close eye on that should drop this year is Best. I still think he could be something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdub1988 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Aaron Rodgers Andre Johnson Exactly this. Top fantasy point scoring QB and WR. Even missing all those great RBs, I'd be quite happy with these two first picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 definately calvin johnson and then maybe miles austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 BP is holding the league hostage until after the SB. He has already picked AJ.........will be very interesting to see if he goes with the uber stud CJ and lock in 2 top 5 WR's. Or does he go RB? Mendenhall/McCoy?? QB????
