Umm, this year is N/A because it hasn't started

Have a good night to everyone as I have to work in the AM.

[Whodatiz]

Oh, you're right. My apology sir. Good luck with your season!

just keep pounding the fact you got stafford late and he had a breakout year. I guess there are 10 breakout QBs every year we can get int he 5th round. get over yourself

[1eyed_jack]

For whoever said DeMarco should be a first round pick, you're right! But only if it's a 20 team league!

Why take two defenses 9 and 11?

I'm set for the bye week and didn't know Seattle was still that good. I like my starters but bench could use work...might drop Skelton and pick up jake locker

I'm guessing you didn't put into consideration about all the BS the saints have gone through and will for the whole year

Dude, wanna hear the funniest, well maybe saddest story in all of Fantasy Football history?

I've been down visiting with my wife and her family and I was chatting with her brother who is in 4 leagues this year. He said during his first draft, which was done online, this girl who picked like 3rd or 4th, picked Tim Tebow as her starting QB.

Yeah let that one sink in.

Also I read the entire thread and High End had well thought out responses regardless if you thought they were right and wrong and there were basically 2 or 3 people calling him dumb for voicing those all the while him keeping his cool dropping stats like BOMBS on y'all.

I love these forums.

Tim Tebow someone in my league didn't know an she drafted branch and my buddy said you know they cut him right and she said to him no no I did not why do they still have him on here

[The Madbacker]

In my draft, I had the 5th pick and ended up with LeSean. After Rodgers, Brady, Rice and Foster went.

I was shocked, absolutely shocked.

[FreeMan12406]

I'm not playing this year but where is Jug Head falling in the draft? May be a steal.

Aaron Rodgers had 650 points in my league last year - the next closest was Brees - the closest RB was nearly 200 points less. You need to understand your league point settings before drafting.

Relative value within positions has nothing to do with overall point leaders. You were obviously in a QB heavy scoring league so the QBs score more points overall than other positions. And last year was the first year ever that there was such a huge separation between the top few QBs and the rest of the QBs. Think of relative value as replacement value. The gap between the top few RBs and the next tier of RBs typically has the largest drop off among the different positions. So if you don't get a top 3 RB you are usually starting off with a huge disadvantage. The drop off after the Top 3 QBs historically has never been as larger as last year and typically is very minimal to the point you can get a very good QB in the later rounds that will post similar statistics to the top 3 QBs taken. Also as QB is usually one of the more stable positions in terms of performance and injury the risk of taking a QB in round 4 or 5 and having them be a flop for your fantasy team is most likely the lowest risk out of any of the skill positions. On the other hand while you have a very small chance that a RB taken after round 2 might have a breakout year and jump into the upper tier of RBs that vast majority of them will not add any significant to your FFB team.

I understand what you're saying, but the last three years Rodgers has been my keeper and the last three years I've picked up a RB on the waiver wire that has exploded/provided #1 type of points:

2009 Jamal Charles
2010 Peyton Hillis
2011 Demarco Murray

I will take my chances of keeping the #1 QB in points (I let Lesean McCoy go back into the draft this year) and pick up a RB that breaks out - there is always one.
