Drafting tonight - have to change my #1 pick

Postby Achmed » Sun Aug 30, 2009 10:15 am

12 team PPR with 6 keepers

I have the number one overall and was considering Kevin Smith. However, he was just reclaimed by his owner. So the best available choices are:

1- Moreno. My preference; not that worried about the knee sprain; but how long does it take to assert himself?
2- Rice. Probably the best out of the gate; he may slide to my pick in round two.
3- Brown. May be big next year, but this year? May also slide, but doubt it.
4- Beanie. Clearly the best opportunity, but I really don't trust him to stay healthy; don't like him in PPR

It's not a snake. I will have 15 picks until pick two.

Thoughts?


12-teams, 6 keepers
PPR; 1 pt for 20yds rush/rec, 40 pass; 4 pts td pass
start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1RB/WR, 1K, 1D/ST; TE counts as WR
Hold the #1 draft choice!

QB- Rodgers
RB- MJD, McFadden
WR- Jennings, Welker, Royal
12-team PPR, start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1 flex (RB/WR/TE), 1D/ST
Unlimited keepers, but more than 6 cost draft picks, starting w 1st Rnd

Rodgers
MJD, CJ1K, McFadden
Jennings, LFitz, VJax, Wallace

Personally I take Rice. He not only has be best chance to produce this year but his future looks bright as well.

If you think you can get him in round 2 then take Moreno. Ask yourself this question though: Where do Moreno and Rice sit in your rankings? If they are both top 10 players (out of the remaining pool of course), then you really can't expect either of them to be there in round 2.

I say Rice, then Beanie. Wells isnt great in a PPR, but hes also on a great offensive team that has no choice but to drop back into coverage.

I'd say Rice. Beanie is going to get hurt.

Thanks for your help. I'd say it's close between Rice an Moreno, but I'd lean towards Rice. I think Denver's going to be a disaster this year, and even though Rice will be sharing, they will run the ball a lot. May want to consider trading down since there isn't a huge dropoff for a few picks.

Rice is looking like the guy you draft in the middle rounds this year and be a 1st round pick next year

I would go with Rice too. Getting good reviews. However, the carries are split a lot of ways in Baltimore.

Thanks for the help on mine.
