I had him last year..literally watched almost every Texans game; he wasn't "out" for too many games, but it felt like every game he would sit out for half the quarter due to "tweeking" something or hitting his head. Then Tate would beast for that half quarter.

So he might not be an injury risk like someone like say, AP, but he's definitely a risk to take #2 overall.

All I know, per game, he was the #1 back last year and I think #2 overall. He ended up #5 back, and that was sitting out week 17 and missing the first 3 weeks. Extrapolated over 16 games, he had like a 1800 yard season with 60 catches or something like that.

Id agree he isnt as durable as some others. But I dont think it is a stretch at all for the #2 overall pick. Obviously it depends on your choice of Foster/McCoy/Rice for what RB is top. But Foster isnt a bad pick at all, imo.

He's not a bad pick...he's just more risky than McCoy. Or hell, Ray Rice for that matter. I had my top 3 backs (in a keeper league) as 1-Mccoy 2-Rice 3-Foster

Thats fair. In PPR I dont like McCoy as much as I used to. His receptions/screens was drastically cut down last season, and Vick is so unpredictable with his health. I just like how much of a focus Baltimore and Houston put on their RBs. Philly is the opposite. But those as still the top 3 RBs by far, and Rodgers in there as well for the obvious top 4 picks this season, imo.

You see Vick went down again tonight? lol

Not sure if I like or dislike that as a McCoy owner..

I like the Burleson and Tate picks. Tate will be good when Foster inevitably goes down for a few games. I'm big on Demarco Murray as well, I saw something where they were 5-0 last year when he got x amount of carries, and dreadful when he did not. I think they're going to make him the face of that offense. They better, because Romo and that shit O-line definitely should not.

Not a lot of depth at RB though...that's your biggest weakness.
My first four picks went Rodgers, Welker, Murray, Martin. I felt like I was in a bind with RB's after going with Welker and may make a trade once I see how Murray, Martin(they have same bye weeks) and Colston/Decker fare. Rodgers, Welker and possibly Murray would be my untouchables.

RB's who were taken between my Welker(18th) and Murray pick(30th)...

Richardson(20th), Sproles(23rd), McFadden(24th)...Next three RB's picked were Charles, Gore and Stephen Jackson.

Two more drafts to go!

If he's healthy there is NO way he only gets 15 touches a game.

Ive heard the same thing. Injury history and aging will make an owner and coaching staff think twice about his work load.

He's only 27. If he's healthy and only gets 15 touches a game the coaching staff will get laughed out of the league. You can't just not give one of the top 3 rbs in the league touches because of injury history.

Had our draft on Sunday. I haven't really paid much attention to football so far so I have no idea how good my team will be. Based on Yahoo's simulated season I'll finish 2nd in my league (out of 8).

Antonio Brown at 75 seems like a really good deal. I would think he's a borderline top 50 guy but I'm really high on him this season.

Pretty good team, even in an 8-team league. McCoy isn't lasting until 6th in a lot of places, getting Forte with the 27th overall was a steal, and getting Julio Jones with the 43rd overall was an uber-steal.

Here's my first mock I ran this morning ... picked 7th overall in a 12-team: http://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/draft/1549247

QB: Eli Manning
RB: DeMarco Murray
RB: Michael Turner
WR: Calvin Johnson
WR: Hakeem Nicks
WR: Demaryius Thomas
TE: Tony Gonzalez
K: Stephen Gostkowski
D: NYG

Bench: Beanie Wells
Bench: LeGarrette Blount
Bench: Anquan Boldin
Bench: Randall Cobb
Bench: Doug Baldwin
Bench: Sam Bradford

I'd be ok with that team. Not great RBs but I like the WRs. We'll see how the real thing goes next week.

Agree with all that. Top 3 QB, top 3 RB, top 2 TE, top 2 WR group at worst IMO, and top 4 D. Patriots-esque domination for you this year.

How many teams? Standard scoring? Also, one starting RB? Weird.

Anyhow, that's clearly your biggest hole. Rodgers will be Rodgers, your WRs are good, TE is serviceable but you have zero RB unless Gore actually performs. I have my doubts that he will.
