Apolyton Fantasy Football (not soccer damnit)

[SlowwHand]

You've hit on a point. I don't get why people take so long to draft, won't leave a list and then hit the waiver wire 30 times in a season.

[MRT144]

What, I'm an inactive owner because I don't rush to the waiver wire every time some obscure Browns receiver has a 105-yard game?

Compared to the likes of Berz, yes.

It's true that I only made 5(!) moves last year in D/ST.

Inactive implies no activity at all, though.

Dont you know that the internet imbues 5 times the hyperbole per statement.

i wake up and al b took Lacy?

I like the two picks before that. It was hard deciding whether to take matty ice or try and get ahead of the game on TEs.

[snoopy369]

Eddie Lacy's good, but he's playing for a team that passes first, second, third, and usually fourth.

[MRT144]

There always hope that he could be a Sproles like player but with 700-800 yards rushing.

[snoopy369]

Eddie Lacey is a big bruising back, not a sproles-like player. I don't know how good his hands are but I don't see him turning into that for sure. This year he probably won't be in on passing plays much - rookies are almost inevitably bad at pass protection.

When's the last time a Packers RB was of any real fantasy value?

Ryan Grant, 2007-09

[MRT144]

Yeah, it was Ryan Grant and to be fair he was all that was good around that time.

[Sparrowhawk]

I was happy with Cedric Benson last year (until he got hurt)

[snoopy369]

Exactly - pre-Aaron Rogers, in the Brett Favre Decline era, when they ran a lot more. Cedric was not particularly good last year:

(not making any effort to clean that up, go to http://www.pro-football-reference.co.../gamelog/2012/ to see it properly)

5 games, 350 total yards, 2 TDs? Even take away the last game where he got hurt, less than 100 yards a game, 2 TDs total. That's not fantasy money.

It's not terrible at RB3/4/5. There was evidence that Rodgers was going to throw to him, so the future looked bright-ish.
