Why does LT get to be projected first in ever draft??

Question

just wondering

Answer 1

Because every year he leads all fantasy running backs in points scored. Last year in Yahoo format he scored 296 points, next closest was Westbrook at 269 and tied at a distant 3rd were AP & Addai (222 points each).  You are talking around a 4 ppg better average over all the other elite RB. 4 points in fantasy at one position is massive. Add in the fact he is a durable guy on a team that has balance and a top offensive line and he should continue to dominate the RB position fantasywise. If you have him you instanly have a huge scoring advantage over any other teams top running back, this allows you more room for an off week from another starter. SInce there were only 6 RB who scored over 200 fantasy points (Portis being the other 200 guy) you would be foolish not to make him the top of any fantasy board.

Answer 2

Because he averages 1500 yards and 16 TD's a year.

Answer 3

He's consistent. He's missed 1 game in his NFL career. He the rushing leader last season. He makes lots of receptions. He makes lots of touchdowns. He even throws the ball. His team needs him. He doesn't split carries. Defenders can't guard him.

He's friggin' amazing. LT = Lotsa Touchdowns.

Answer 4

He has a history of scoring a lot of points in most fantasy football formats. He doesn't have a history of injuries that would keep him out of games. He gets a lot of rushing attempts, runs for a lot of yards, is a great receiver out of the backfield and scores a lot of touchdowns. What more could you ask for in a running back?

Answer 5

He's Legendary In Rushing Yards, Receptions, Recieving Yds. And TDs. Does'nt Fumble Much And Is Very Durable.
