Fantasy Draft Tonight
Fantasy draft tonight at Scot Shields house. He has a place just outside Detroit and with the day off we're going to get our teams together. We have a very competitive league so I've been doing my homework and thought I'd share a little. I've got some sleepers, but I'm going to keep them as sleepers until we draft. Don't need sneaks like Scot Shields or Mike Napoli seeing this and picking one of my guys in the draft. A couple thoughts - Peterson or Brady with the second pick? Our league is more of a passing league so I would go Brady. However, running backs are at a premium and Peterson is a stud. Got awfully tired of the Favre stuff, way overblown, but he 's Brett Favre and he can still sling it. You have to be able to live with the interceptions though. Hope not too many points deducted in your league for those. He could easily have 4 Tds one game and 4 picks the next. Top rookie - I think Darren McFadden is going to be strong. He is a beast and I like him busting on the scene this year. Unproven QBs like Tavaris Jackson make me hesitant to take their wideouts because you just never know what you are going to get. Look at Randy Moss and Oakland and in New England? Difference there is the QB play mostly. The 49ers have some shaky QB play, but I still think Vernon Davis is valuable because of his red zone chances. If he were a wide receiver, it would be different. It might even be better for him because the QB can use him as a safety valve with short passes and quick hits. That's it, I hope the fellas did their homework cuz I am coming out strong this year. Real strong.
