    • Albert, to put it in perspective, Slowwy's waiver wire TE replacement did better than 3 of your 4 first picks, save Gore.
      Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

            Same as Ahmad Bradshaw who had more TD's. What's your point?

            Ahmad Bradshaw in a time share > Steven Jackson.

            Steven Jackson is beat down and averaged 3.9 ypc last year. While an improved Bradford will likely help him, Josh McDaniels doesn't seem to like running the ball. And SJax is a year older. Dude is on his last legs.

              You're right that FF is a game of luck, but going 0/4? Clearly your strategy is flawed. That's not all luck.

              Touches and carries are the name of the game.

                And yet I didn't finish last even with that beyond terrible first four picks. I was 12th. I must have done something right with my remaining picks and on the waiver wire to not be dead last with Favre/Randy/Greene and Gore getting injured mid-way.

                  Agreed he has some heavy mileage on him, but... Steven Jackson is 28.

                    I was about to compare him to Eddie George but scratch that. George had a bad season at age 28 but he followed it up with 2 more 1000 yard campaigns (albeit with a very low ypc average).

                    Eddie George is a good analog for SJax though, considering they're the same size and have similar styles and workloads.

                    Maybe SJax could have a resurgence if Bradford can be as good as McNair was in 2002 and 2003.

                    Still, Bradshaw is clearly who you want to keep, not SJax.

                    • True. Eric Dickerson had a similar career arc as well.

                        Only if your picks fail. If a pick of yours works out, it's due to brilliance.

                            In the poly league I'm gonna sjax. I think Mcdaniels will improve his PPR and possibly open up the field more for him. And I think Bradshaw got his contract and will be splitting more time with jacobs. Plus the Rams schedule is better later in the season.

                            • Guys, we still need one more player over at FFZ for my slow draft league there. That will make it a 10-team league, which should be fun. First come, first served.

                              Anyone? Bueller?

                              There are also openings in Chris' live draft leagues I believe.

                              • Jrabbit, what kind of league is it? IDP or DST? I could do another DST? I especially like the wording slow!
