I love when people draft running backs while elite QB's are still on the board.

In my case, Trent won me the championship game in my fantasy league last year... so it was more of a loyalty pick rather than a logical pick. Which, you know, is smart.

My first round pick was Trent Richardson too. I was 10th in a 12 team draft and it came down to him or Ray Rice so it would not have mattered either way. Peyton, Brees & Rodgers were already off the board too. Despite having a team of dumpster fire quality (11th or 12th in passing, rushing, receiving, defensive points and coaching) I'm somehow 5-5.

9-1 in a 16 team league with Tannehill as my QB. Have Morris, McCoy and Gore as my RBs. I'd take top RBs over a QB any day.

agree, in most leagues (ie 1QB leagues, 12 or fewer teams).

more teams and you start hitting a wall on available, good QBs, and with 2 QBs, a format I love, QBs obviously become more important (as does the backup, since he'll have to start at least two weeks).

would anyone trade Andre Brown for Ray Rice at this point? i just picked up brown when they finally put Doug Martin on IR and didnt play him last week because i played Mike James, but im probably planing on playing Brown the rest of the season with his easy schedule, but i got offered Rice and im thinking about it

Assuming Vereen returns this week would you play him or Amendola in the flex? this is a PPR league

...or Deandre Hopkins

I wouldn't touch Rice.

Im definitely agreeing, but how crazy is that, beginning of the season, even with out the injury to brown, that trade would happen in a heartbeat

I'm also 9-1 using Stevan Ridley and RBs off the waiver wire each week.

I'd rather put in Flynn for a week and take that chance. Save Rodgers for the big turkey game.

It doesn't matter. Either you score on your middle to late round picks or you don't. I've never taken a QB sooner than the 5th and I've had a top 10 guy every year.

Guys, I'm 5-6 in a 8 team league and 1 game out of a playoff spot. Lost rodgers a few weeks back, but Foles has been a fucking godsend. He is off this week and I am holding a spot for when Rodgers comes back. Do I use Casey Keenum this week or Mike Glennon? Keenum was pulled last week, but it is not like he was playing bad. He has a dream matchup against the Jaguars and I don't trust the coaching staff, or go with Glennon against the lions?
