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.
