***********Fantasy Football Draft HELP!!!!!******?

Question

I draft #2 overall in a non-keeper league, with more points for RB's and WR's, than QB's. Who would you rather take, L.J. L.T. or Alexander, and why? Would you take any one else in the top three other than those I listed?

I think the #1 will be Alexander, but the KC O-line is scary right now, and San Diego has a young QB, what if the passing game is a bust?

Answer 1

1 LT (best RB in football)
2 LJ
3 Alexander

Avg. football fans read too much into things. People are saying Willie Roaf's retirement was a huge loss in KC but the lineman barely played last year and when he did he was awful because he was so injured. His retirement isn't that big a thing so don't get fooled.

Becuase SD has some QB questions people are freaking but they run a very conservative offense. Drew Brees is a good QB but not great, partly because he rarely had to make hard throws. Don't read into that either.

I would say that 75% of fantasy football fans are still somewhat lost in regards to the NFL. It's cool to do so that's it's so popular. Don't get fooled. Either of these guys are great.

Answer 2

The top three picks should be 1. LJ 2. Alexander 3. LT. The KC OL only lost Roaf and he may come back. LJ will lead all players in points this year. Alexnader lost his best OL and he is on the cover of Madden which comes with a curse. LT has a new QB and he tends to wear down at the end of the year when you need him most.

Answer 3

Look at LJ's this year so far in the limited time he has played and you KNOW the O-line is not the same. Last night he rushed 4 times for 8 yards. Ouch! Alexander could be good, but he is on the cover of Madden for this year. I assume you know what that could mean if you are superstitious. LT will be the best bet if you look at Norv turners' style of opening up offenses, letting him carry the ball 20-25 times. Remember Emmet in Dallas under Norv.

Tiki Barber has looked exceptional in his first two preseason games, so he could be a stud this year. Portis, well we know the story there, but he could prove a nice catch down the stretch. Be careful not to take guys like Peyton who will rest the last four games of the season unless you have good backups to carry you in the stretch!!! Good luck!

Sleepers = Willie Parker, Reggie Bush, M Bell in Denver, Chester Taylor in Minnesota, Corey Dillon who is finally healthy
Busts= James in AZ, J Lewis in Baltimore, Ronnie Brown

Answer 4

1. Alexander
2. LT
3. LJ
Alexander is a TD machine and not just last year. LJ lost two pro bowlers and key figures to the running game in Roaf and Richardson. He'll still have a good year but he's also missing Al Saunders... LT can do it all but I'd take Alexander over him...

Answer 5

relies upon on your scoring device, yet stable RB's are many times the thank you to bypass early on. So to verify that the season Frank Gore, Michael Turner, Marion Barber, LT, Reggie Bush, Marshawn Lynch, & Clinton Portis . QBs - Cutler, Romo, Rivers, Brees, McNabb. WR - Santana Moss, Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, Brandon Marshall, Terrell Owens, Calvin Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Plaxico Burress (out 2 weeks nevertheless), Eddie Royal, Houshmandzadeh. TE - Witten, Scheffler, Antonio Gates, Fasano, Tony Gonzalez. DST - Bucs, Packers, Titans, San Diego, Philadelphia, charges, Giants. ok - Kaeding, Carney, Longwell, Crosby, Nedney, Mare. GORE over LT

Answer 6

I wanna say take Alexander but he lost Steve Hutchinson, all pro guard, so it might be close to impossible for Alexander to repeat what he did last season. So take LT, Rivers will give him the ball when Gates isnt open, LT is the safest in my opinion.

Answer 7

Alexander, then LJ, then LT. nothing has changed in seattle, kc lost one person from there line should be ok, LT has to deal with teams knowing they are just gonna run with that rookie qb. 4th would be barber

Answer 8

Go with LJ, check his stats when filling in for Priest Holmes and you'll see why he's taking the backfield over there....Filling in he had 9 straight 100 yard plsu games and is a scoring monster...

Alexander has the Madden curse this year, but could still be solid...I drafted him in one or two leagues.

LT is a stud back, one of the tops in fantasy football over the past 3 years or so...You can never beat out consistency.

Personally, if LJ falls to you, take him.

Answer 9

1. LJ
2. LT
3. Alexander

Answer 10

Larry Johnson isn't going to suffer that much because one guy leaves. They are making too big of a deal about that. If the San Diego passing game is a bust, that gives extra carries, pass catching opportunities to LT. Either of these guys is going to be sufficient.
