Keep 3 in a 10 teamer no PPR: Slaton or McFadden? WHIR

Postby B-Chad » Sun Aug 23, 2009 7:47 pm

10 team league with following scoring:
1 point per 25 yards passing
-1 per INT
6 points per TD
5 points for 350 yards passing
1 point per 10 yards rushing
-2 per fumble
6 points per TD rushing
5 points for 200 yards rushing
1 point per 10 yards receiving
6 points per TD receiving
5 points for 200 yards receiving
2 points per 2 PT conversion
6 points per fumble return for a TD
Positions: QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, Flex, TE, K, DEF 5 Bench

My top two keepers are Adrian Peterson and Drew Brees. Given that there is no scoring for receptions I've dismissed Dwayne Bowe, Marques Colston and Brandon Marshall from consideration. With another RB and Flex spot open keeping Slaton or McFadden leaves me wiggle room to take another RB round 1 if it's the best value. With all that in mind, Slaton or McFadden? Slaton is higher ADP for good reason, but considering he won't be scoring for his receptions, just receiving yards, I'm wondering if Run DMC may be the better option. I love his long term upside, and think he'll be capable of putting up top notch RB2 numbers with the potential for so much more.

Given the flashes he showed last year, and the fact his numbers were likely held in check by the RBBC and his turf toe, I could easily see him exploding this year. He is also capable of chipping in receiving yards and reports of him getting 20-25 touches a game are what I like to hear. I'm leaning a little his way right now. I feel like Slaton will be very good, but I think McFadden is so much more well rounded and a bigger possibly more durable option long term. Definitely want some thoughs, leave a link too if you have a question of your own.

Slaten is going first on almost all drafts, but I think McFadden is going to go off this year, If you are a gambling man take McFadden if not go for Slaten.

1st off, thanks for your help. Good insight and advice. nice to see.

To answer your question, you are nuts to even think about this. McFadden is in a RBBC situation where Bush is probaly the best runner, but D-Mac has more over all skills. Slaton is the man. Period. I don't care if he doesn't get points for his catches. He will run for more than McFadden and cath more yards. You are thinking too hard, take Slaton.
