I have pick 6 in my FF draft. I am pretty sure the top 5 backs will be gone by my pick. Who should I get?

Question

I think I have narrowed it down to these three: Clinton Portis, Frank Gore, or Marion Barber. Help me!

Answer 1

I would have to go with Frank Gore. He had an ok season last year, but I think he will be in the top 3 running backs by next year's fantasy draft. Plus, I think Marion Barber will start to split a little time with Felix Jones, and, personally, I'm not the biggest Clinton Portis fan.  

Answer 2

New offencive coordinator Mike Martz stated that he will get Gore the ball anyway he can possibly concieve of this year.And MAD MARTZ is one of the best offencive minds in football.I like Gore,in round 1;R.Wayne,TO,or Braylon Edwards in round 2;.Jamal Lewis in round 3,

T.Holt,or Plaxico in round 4 ;Jason Witten in round 5; C.Palmer,Ben Rothlisberger,or D.Anderson in round 6; get your WR3 in round 7; get

S.Diego,or Minn.def. in round 8;;;;;;;;;9 through end pick your kicker,

and backups.~~G{}{}d Luck!

Answer 3

if tom brady is availible you should take him automatically, if you check the scoring in your league, usually the Qb's score the most points, so really Tom Brady should go first, if not take whatever one of the 3 runningbacks is there

Answer 4

tom brady, with all the yards and touchdowns he gets he will get more points than most backs

Answer 5

Marion Barber.  Better offense than SF.  Portis would be second then Gore for me but i would take Marion Barber.  i see him as a top 5 back.  I'd take him over The Rams RB.  

Answer 6

The real answer is it depends on your scoring system. Do QB's get 6 pts for a TD? Points-per-reception? standard league scoring? Barber is the TD machine. Portis will get TDs and Yards. Gore will get yards, probably the most receptions but less TDs in all likelyhood. Brady is a good pick if QB's do get 6 pts for a TD. Pick based on your scoring system. Barber - TD heavy league, Portis - more balanced yds to td league, or Gore in a PPR league. Brady if you get 6 pts per passing TD.

Answer 7

Well honestly since the top 5 will probably go then get a QB either Brady or Manning (Take Brady I think) You can take a Running Back in the second round and a wide reciver in the 3rd. If one of the top 5 don't go then take the one in the top 5. But here is what you may try:

1st Round- Tom Brady

2nd- Someone along the lines of M.J. Drew, Ronnie Brown, Brandon Jacobs, or Lawrence Maroney will probably be left and will be great 2nd round grabs.

3rd- Here you should probably get someone like Chad Johnson or Plaxico Burress. They will probably still be here.

The Rest you need to play by your Fantasy Football Brain

Answer 8

I would go with Frank Gore.  Not only is he a great running back, but he is a great receiver as well.  No matter if it's Smith or Hill at QB, expect a lot of dump off passes to Gore.  Barber would be next, although Felix Jones might take some carries away as the season goes on.  Clinton Portis is good, but has had some injuries over the past few seasons that have held him back.  I know a lot of people have been saying to take Brady, but there is a real good possibility that he will be taken right before you at 5.  I've seen some drafts where the 5th team will pass on Westbrook to get Brady.  Westbrook could possibly fall to you at 6.  However, if the top 5 RBs are taken like you expect, I would have to say it's between Gore and Brady.  Look at your league settings page and see which one will benefit you more.  Just know that by the time it gets back around to you, all of the top RBs will be off the board and it might end up you could have taken a very good QB like Drew Brees later on in the draft.

Answer 9

Take Brady, Manning or Moss then. I think the RB's will be very over valued this year.

Answer 10

TOM BRADY OR RANDY MOSS WOULD BE GOOD. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO A RUNNING BACK  LOOK AT BRADY OR MOSS NUMBERS FROM LAST YEAR.LOOK AT FOX SPORTS FANTASY RANKINGS 1-LT,2-BRADY,3-MOSS BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT ONE OF THOSE BACKS TAKE BARBER NOT SPLITING CARRIES WITH JULIUS JONES THIS YEAR HE WILL BE A BEAST!!!!1
