Should I start Maclin over Spiller at the Flex spot for the 1st week?

I think it looks pretty solid and I would probably start Maclin.

Dont like picking rodgers 4th. Should of went with Gore/Rice/Mojo whoever was available. Better hope you pick the right stable of WR every week because those RB's arent gonna be very reliable IMO.

Jones Drew, Peterson, and Johnson were gone....I think Rodgers will be more valuable over the course of the year than those other RBs.

I would start Foster at the flex. I expect him to finish top 8-10 for running backs and have a huge year.

Thats not the point though. Is Rodgers gonna be more valuable than Peyton/Brees who likely wouldve been there at your second round pick in comparison to what Rice/Gore is going to be in relation to your RBs. Likely not, and thats why I dont understand people picking QBs so early. The top RBs are all even and then a HUGE drop-off. The top QBs are all even, and they will last longer in the draft.

This. Even getting someone like Eli Manning/Flacco or another guy who is around the 8-12 best in FF QBs will still get you the points needed. I'd take Rice/Gore with the 4th pick then wait till round 3 or 4 and get a guy like Eli or Flacco. Eli or Flacco+ Rice or Gore will probably get you more than Rodgers and Mendenhall.

I am sorry, but Gore and Rice and not even CLOSE to the same production as MJD, AP, and Chris Johnson froma fantasy point standpoint. It is those 3 and then everyone else.

Not even CLOSE? Are you fucking serious... Rice and Gore are pretty close to those guys. Now after those 5 then its not really close.

Not close? Come again?

Gore missed 3 games and was still close in all stats. Rice had better stats minus the TDs that McGahee took early in the year. That isnt an issue any more really.

EDIT: Gore and Rice comparisons are to MJD.

I just got Gore w/ the 8th pick, pretty stoked about that...Ray Rice went 7th I almost got him with the 8th pick haha it was a funny draft, that's for sure...

Dude took Aaron Rodgers 1st overall cuz he's a Packers fan.
Guy with the 3rd pick took Phillip Rivers lol then took Matt Ryan in the 2nd round

People I know.

The guy who took QB QB was drunk as shit, but he woke up this morning and was loving his team (he is looking to trade the QBs).

I mafde a couple changes. Now have Eddie Royal instead of TJ, Felix Jones instead of Sproles, and Beanie instead of CJ Spiller (all on the bench). Foster, Mendenhall, Johnson, Boldin, Maclin, and McCoy are my top 6 wr/rb. Has been tough picking one to ride the bench each week.

I am sitting at 6-0 in my league and have had high point total 4 of the 6 weeks.

How the hell do you get a team like that? The rest of your league sounds retarded.

Here's my team:
Aaron Rodgers
Deangelo Williams
Marshawn Lynch
DeSean Jackson
Roddy White
Kenny Britt
Marcedes Lewis
Falcons D/ST
David Akers

Bench:
Reggie Bush
LT
Kevin Walter
Ricky Williams
Braylon Edwards
Matt Ryan
Brandon Pettigrew

Obviously those aren't my normal starters, as a couple of them have byes and Jackson's hurt. Had Jermichael Finley but he got hurt, which really sucked. Luckily I was able to pick up Lewis off of waivers. I'm currently 6-0 in my league, and only have a one game lead on the guy behind me.

I had 4th pick in 10 team league. This was my order of picks:

Rogers
Mendenhall
Johnson
McCoy
Boldin
Gates
Maclin
Spiller
McNabb
and then i'm not sure

Arian Foster actually went undrafted and I was able to release Steve Slaton and pick him up.

Someone let go of Beanie early when he got injured so I dropped Spiller and picked him up. TJ was a waste and I think Royal is a little better (another undrafted guy). Sproles hasn't done anything and someone released Felix Jones so I picked him up.
