Question

I have the nummber 6 pick in my 8 team fantasy football league, who should I pick?

Answer 1

Man, tough question. You have a bad draft spot, but then again, with an 8 team league everyone will have deep talent. Trouble is, without knowing what your scoring rules are and how many starters, it's difficult to say. I'll assume a standard scoring system.

The first four out of the box will probably be LaDanian Tomlinson, Adrian Peterson, Brian Westbrook and then Steven Jackson. If one of those guys are available, get them. Otherwise, I'd go with Addai, Gore, marion Barber or even reach to Tom Brady.

Remember, you also have a pick in 5 so you can still get some strength, but during a live draft you have to be flexible. Get a cheatsheet, rank all of your players and pick the highest you have left.

Good luck!

Answer 2

6 is actually a real good spot.  

As to who to pick... It really depends on who's available.  Generally it will be a RB as #6 is still too early for any QB or WR.  

If you're looking for general advice though, try to grab a RB who is going to garner the lion's share of his team's carries.  Portis, Lynch, S Jax, Adai and Gore are all guys you could expect to be there at #6 and none of these guys have any competition to steal carries.

It also depends on your scoring system.  If you're in a points per reception league, a guy like Gore or SJax are increasingly valuable.

Hope this helps...

Answer 4

I had the number 6 pick in my 10 team draft and was lucky enough to grab Steven Jackson. I saw an article on ESPN.com on what to do with the 6th pick. Summing the article up, the author said to take a QB. Tom Brady is the obvious choice.

Answer 5

Like what Joel said.  Won't go into details (yet again) but you have to get S.Jackson if he is still available.
