Priest is #2

[stomperrob]

I see in checking fantasysportscentral that they have Holmes now listed as the #2 RB after LT - Alexander slipping because of his holdout threat??? This rankings are based on the averaging of 10 different fantasy sites.

Damn, when I read this, I thought it was a post about Larry Johnson getting named starter!

I see most mags placing Priest a bit higher than Shaun because of the holdout threats. I'm still believing that Shaun will play even though he's threatening.

Priest is #2. He's a risk.reward player, but he has a higher reward at his position than any other player you can draft. Most RBs aren't a lock for 10 TDs when healthy. LT and Alezander are, hence why they're drafted highly. Priest is a lock for 20+ TDs if he stayed healthy, that's incredible value.

Bingo. Couldn't have said it better. I don't know if there will be a bigger make or break player this year than Priest Holmes.

This ranking also tells me that that contract negotiations with SA are a bit more nasty than first thought. I don't know if he'll go for the full blown holdout but I also wouldn't be surprised to see a much more concerted effort to trade him if talks continue this way.

Ill draft him #1 and gladly buy my insurance in the 6th/7th rd.

If I am at # 2 in re-draft or keeper... I take SA at # 2.

Just my preference.

Landing LJ is a must when drafting the Padre, but the production from the Chefs RB spot is worth it, IMO. Hard to take him at #2, but should he stay healthy he will put up #1 numbers. 1,500yds and 20+ TDs would shock on one.

Id actually be suprised if they only got 20 TDs.

BTW mooch - Im glad to see Ive become so important to you to put me in your sig, but honestly, the majority of my opinions can be defended with statistics.

That is exactly as I see it. Some say the insurance pick in the 6th is too high a price to pay, I don't think it is for that kinda production. Because LJ will produce too if Priest falls.

That's 2 posts in a row that I agree with CB on........is the end of the world is nigh???? Or maybe we just disagree on Julius....yeah, that's probably it.
