Fantasy Football 2008 Draft Strategy (9th Pick out of 10)?

Question

Hey everyone, I have a dilemma when it comes to my draft strategy this year for my Fantasy Football league. I am in a 10 team league, and I drew 9th pick in a snake format...

How would YOU draft???

Answer 1

I would pick up two top RBs....cause its gonna be a long time before you get another pick and the top 20 RBs will be gone by then.  Then I would go WR/WR....then look at QB and another RB.

Answer 2

It really depends on the rules and scoring system or your league but if you are in a standard system where you use 1 QB and 2 RB and a team Defense, then the RBs you select become very important.

This appears to be the case even more for this upcoming season where it looks like more teams will be utilizing Running Back By Committee (RBBC) approaches, hence there are fewer RBs who will carry the full load for their teams.  Making a stud RBs even more of a rarity.

Based on that I would encourage you to go RB RB with your first two picks and hope you nail two really good, healthy and reliable RBs.  You can always nab solid WRs in later rounds and by the time the draft gets back to you there will still be dependable QBs like Delhomme or Eli or maybe Donovan or Carson.

Good luck!
