Hard to read but it looks like a QB league.

At the 6 hole, I would take Tom Brady if he is available. If not, take a RB and then take a QB on the turn. I guess you could consider Philip Rivers at that solt also.

Fantasy drafts are usually Monkey-see / monkey do. Someone will draft a TE and then a run of picks on TE will happen. IMO, leagues are usually won from your picks from R3 to R7

at 2 points/reception, i'd move up possesion receivers and running backs like ray rice that get thrown at a lot. most ppr leagues are 1 point or less. that seems to be the biggest difference other than scoring categories for avg yards/game. possession guys will also help you there since they'll almost always hit the 3 minimum.

3 catches = a touchdown. that's pretty ridiculous. get possesion guys and let everyone else try to find the new randy moss.

Thanks. This is pretty helpful.

I might draft every Rams WR with Josh McDaniels going there... and with Bradford having a good year under him ... and with that O-line looking better.

A couple of late round sleepers or players that seem to begoing lower than potential value:

Mid Rounds

WR Brandon Marshall (mia)
RB Tim Hightower (Wash)

Late round sleeper
WR Andre Roberts (ariz)
WR Greg Little (Clev)

thanks. I need all the tips I can get.

I LOVE Jahvid Best. Especially based on what Hi I'm God said. Dude is a pass catching back playing in a dome and a 2nd year guy coming off minor injury -- he's going to explode this year.

Who are the most improved and least improved run defenses this year?


The Eagles are starting a rookie 4th round pick at MLB? They have those 3 big corners and Vick ... I bet everyone is going to be able to run on them.

The fucl<in Jets look like they have a strong O-line and are strong on D against the run and pass. If there passing game doesn't blow I bet they will be tough.

Issue with best is concussions, he is one hit away from being done....he is solid though. I have Stafford as a keeper and considering rolling the dice that he stays healthy this year

I agree on the monkey see monkey do. That's one thing I keep hearing.

Why do you say QB league?

I know these type of things wildly favor RBs -- but I would think this is more of a RB, WR league than even your typical from a scan of it ... but like I said, I never play these.
