Who is the #2 pick in Fantasy Leagues this year?

[themanej2001]

I think it's a shoe in that AP is the #1 pick, but there's a pretty big drop off after that. Who would you draft second, and why?

Personally, I think I'd go with Deangelo Williams, Forte, even if Williams is splitting time.

B.J. UPTON...

no wait...Wrong thread




I meant to type - DREW BREES

I'd say it depends if the league gives points per receptions... If the league does, I like MJD.

I hate the #2 pick this year. Call me crazy but I'll take LT if dealt that pick. You guys can think he's going down hill because of one injury plagued season but I know better.

Really? Wow, that's shocking to hear to say the least. I think I'll have LT on my do not draft list.

1 peterson
2 forte

I love forte because he is a good receiver as well. We'll see. I think the 2nd pick is the worst pick in the draft this year, but you never know.

 

[JakeT.]

I'd put Forte ahead of anyone else... for sure. I don't think Turner is nearly as good this year and I don't trust the split in Carolina.

 

[JakeT.]

Things that scare me about Forte is the switch to passing more with Cutler and Orlando Pace being a much better pass protector than run mauler at this point in his career.

Play in a high stakes nine team league. Ninth team was going to drop out for a season but has now decided to play so I am stuck with the second pick instead of getting to take Peterson with the first pick. Really has me all fucked up. Guess I am gonna have to take Forte or MJD.

The thing about Forte is that Cutler is now there and I see Cutler forcing alot more passes downfield. I think Forte's receptions go way down this year. Last year Orton would often just dump a pass off to Forte when he was in trouble. I am not saying I don't like Forte I am just saying I would put a few guys ahead of him.

My top 10 Fantasy picks would be in this order

1 - Peterson
2 - MJD
3 - Turner
4 - Jackson
5 - Forte
6 - LT
7 - Williams
8 - Gore
9 - C. Johnson
10 - Portis

I think Jackson will be huge this year. It kills me not to put Westbrook on that list but with the injury I would take any of these 10 ahead of him. Westbrook would be a great pick in the second round and maybe rounds 7-10 you could grab McCoy for insurance.

 

[themanej2001]

MJD is on my do not draft list. He's too small, and eventually his body will wear down; IMO.

 

[eaglezzz]

Just for fun here is my next 10 picks

11 - Moss
12 - Slaton
13 - Fitzgerald
14 - A. Johnson
15 - Westbrook
16 - C. Johnson
17 - Jacobs
18 - R. Brown
19 - Barber
20 - S. Smith

You could throw in Brees and Brady next I just don't like wasting my first few rounds on QB's. I would try to get Rodger's, McNabb, Warner, Rivers, Scaub in Round 5

 

[JakeT.]

I don't consider Steven Jackson a 1st round pick. His line is shot to hell.

 

[eaglezzz]

Some good sleepers at RB(well not sleepers but just Micheal Turner's of last year that have the potential to have big years)

These are the guys I will targeting in later rounds that have huge upsides to them.

Pierre Thomas
Kevin Smith
McFadden
Ray Rice

At WR
Welker
Royal
V. Jackson
Earl Bennett

TE
Greg Olsen

Barry Sanders and Payton were small too.

Slaton is a 1st Round lock.

It's hard to imagine the coaching staff not capitalizing on one of Forte's greatest strengths, but they reportedly would rather most of Forte's touches come via hand-off. Backup Kevin Jones, whose role is slated to expand, is another smooth pass catcher and may cut into Forte's passing-down snaps. Forte finished his rookie season with 63 catches, the most by any NFL back.

Slaton is a 1st Round lock.

Not in my league... LOL.

I got Slaton in the 12th round of my sleeper league...

 

[midman2161]

wow slaton has been going high from what I have seen.. I definitely think Jackson has a big bounceback year they are committed to making him the center of their offense. Line does suck though
