Fantasy Football Draft
Had my draft in a fantasy football league. I'm not sure how I did... I screwed up hearing one of the rules, and it affected my draft.

Out of 10 teams, I drafted 9th. 1 QB/2 RB/2 WR/1 TE/1 "Flex"/1 Defense/1 K/6 Bench

My mistake was originally hearing that the "Flex" could be WR or TE. In fact, it could also be a Running Back- which made Running backs a lot more scarce than I thought.

Anyways, getting to the draft...

1st Round- Tom Brady, QB. I was the first person not to grab a RB...

2nd round- Randy Moss, WR. ... and I followed it up with the best WR as well. The best RB available was Willie McGahee at this point

3rd round- Torry Holt, WR. OK, maybe I should've grabbed a RB here. But again, by best player, I thought Holt was better than any RB

4th round- Brandon Jacobs, RB. Starting RB for the Giants, a good pick for the round

At this point, I've got a couple sleeper RB planned. But at the fifth round, I see that the tenth team already has two RB, so I think I can get away with the 'best available' again...

5th round- Roy Williams, WR.

And the guy in tenth place takes both of the sleepers I had planned (Michael Turner and Darren McFadden). GAH!

6th round- Kevin Smith, RB. Here's hoping he developes

The rest of the draft is a collection of good backups at other positions, along with a total of 6 running backs, hoping 2 of them will pan out. Here's my total team:

QB- Tom Brady, Brett Farve
RB- Brandon Jacobs, Kevin Smith, Rudi Johnson, Selvin Young, Jason Wright, Kolby Smith
WR- Randy Moss, Torry Holt, Roy Williams, Santana Moss
TE- Owen Daniels
Def- Dallas
K- Adam Vinatieri

So, if you've got any good tips on sleeper running backs, send them this way.

You're pretty stocked at wide receiver... you might end up with a bargaining chip to get a better running back at some point.

You've got a pretty decent crop of running backs, but have to hope that Rudi stays healthy, that Young can carry the load (I personally think he'll split it with Hall) or that Kevin Smith pans out.

As far as sleeper backs go, that depends on who is available. I would imagine backs like DeAngelo Williams, Ahmad Bradshaw and Ricky Williams were taken. If Andre Hall wasn't taken, keep a close eye on him.
