2008 DR U Fantasy Football-Team #4
- 3 Comment
I just completed a draft for my fourth fantasy team. This was a 16 team league that did not require a tight end, and we don’t have to start a certain number of running backs or wideouts. Essentially, we start five flex players that can be made up of running backs, receivers, and/or tight ends. Let me know what you think of my team.
QB Marc Bulger, Rams
QB Matt Schaub, Texans
RB Joseph Addai, Colts
RB Rudi Johnson, Bengals
RB Deuce McAllister, Saints
RB Brandon Jackson, Packers
RB LaMont Jordan, Patriots
RB Andre Hall, Broncos
WR Marques Colston, Saints
WR Chad Johnson, Bengals
WR Sidney Rice, Vikings
K Stephen Gostkowski, Patriots
Colts defense

Leagues with that many teams are hard to draft due to the goods ones getting away quick. I am wondering, however, whether you have enough first line players to compete.
The QBs could be real good, or you could have real problems. Both are coming of injuries.
RBs - you have one stud, on maybe but wont hold my breath and a bunch of back ups that might give you a few points, but nothing major unless there is a key infury.
At WR - Colston should have a great year. Chad worries me with a possible torn labrum. Rice is a #2 at best.
I think you are going to have a hard time fielding 5 good point scorers. Of course, if the other 15 teams are the same, then there is a shot.

Bear,
I pretty much agree with your assessment. In a 16 team league, all the teams have huge question marks and backup players. I took Rudi Johnson in the 7th round, so even though he isn’t a clear cut No.1 fantasy player, he had some value in the 7th round.
I also took McAllister in the 9th round, so any production I get out of him is a bonus. The top tier QBs went so fast that with me grabbing Addai and Colston early, I was stuck with taking middle-of-the road QBs.
I gambled on Chad Johnson, but I will take him in the 5th round even with a partially torn labrum.
I think I will end up needing some help later via the waiver wire, or my last three picks of the draft were backup running backs, so I may need one or two of them to start at some point.
Thank you for the comment!

What were you thinking?!? Rudi Johnson and Deuce McAllister? Rudi may get cut, you know! The only thing that partially redeems this is the fact that you got Marques Colston. Hopefully, Chad johnson isn’t injured for six weeks, but he’s not looking good! Really, Addai, Colston, and the Indy defense are your only #1 positions. The rest are #2 or worse!
