I have the first pick in our League this year (the winner of the consolation bracket receives the 1st overall pick -- that way we don't have guys tanking it after they're already out of the playoffs, just to receive a better draft pick position the next season) and here are the top players that are available...

Arian Foster, HOU Bye 11

Jamaal Charles, KC Bye 6

LeSean McCoy, PHI Bye 7


My two keepers are Rashard Mendenhall, PIT (Bye 11) and Frank Gore, SF (Bye 7).


I know it's early, but what the heck, right?

I would rank Foster slightly ahead of McCoy, then Charles a distant 3rd. That Houston offense is a machine, and Foster will always be a huge part of it.

Ummm you do know there is a sub forum in the pro sports forum for Fantasy stuff.

But I'd take Foster for sure!

Haha you're not ever gonna let that one go are you :P. You had a great year man everyone of your players stepped up a lot from where they were projected. I will give you that you picked players you thought would be good and had the potential to be good and it worked out for you.

Wow, some interesting choices here.

Foster isn't just your best bet, he's better than both of your keepers. Gore is aging and the 49ers don't appear to be getting better and Mendenhall is a head case. I'd take Foster/Charles/McCoy over both Gore and Mendenhall.

Charles is a big play waiting to happen and will get almost 100 more touches this year. There is no more explosive player in football at this point than him. Look at his YPC and length of TD runs and you will see why he is the best option. He will not have a 200 touch vulture taking away from him this season.
