Fantasy football, ? I do not know what to do i have first pick?

Question

I have first over all pick.last year in my league the top 5 point getter's were quarterbacks should i pick QB or a RB 1st?

Answer 1

You take LT and that's that.  Yes, the top point getters were QBs, but QB are always at the top of the list.  What you have to look at is the drop off from the elite to the pedestrian players.  This year, there are many more strong QBs than RBs.  There are basically only 4-5 surefire studs at RB (granted, there is not such thing as "surefire") and at the first pick you must grab one of them.  

The only other guys you should even consider are AP and Westbrook.  I have downgraded AP due to injury concerns to not only himself, but also to his o-line.  Westbrook is awesome...and consistent (this is hard to say as I'm a huge Skins fan;-), but I would still go with LT who has been performing consistently at the top of the scoring table for years now.  It's not going to stop this year.

If you want confirmation of this thinking, grab any fantasy mag or go onto any fantasy website.  You'll have a hard time finding any cheat sheet or mock draft with Brady taken as the 1st pick.  5th or 6th pick...yes.  First pick...no.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

QB. There's a lot of good RB's out there that won't be picked 1st round, such as Adrian Peterson and Steven Jackson, you can always pick on of them up in the later rounds.

Answer 3

LT #1.  

There isn't any real reason to think he won't merit the pick again this year in most leagues - he's on one of the top teams, he's still in the good age range. On top of that, he plays the KC, Denver, and Oakland D's twice each. Last year they were #28, 30 and 31 against the run and gave up 49 TDs on the ground. I don't see any reason to expect a huge improvement this year. The Jets, Dolphins, Bills, and Falcons were all also in the bottom 8 run defenses last year.

There will be good QBs available when you get to your 2nd & 3rd round picks, but you'll have a hard time geting quality depth at RB if you wait until later.
