Just had my draft in a basic fantasy league with 8 guys. I got the first overall pick and took Foster. I was tempted to take one of the big QBs, but Foster is just so far ahead of the other RBs with AP questionable, and there's a lot more elite QBs than RBs.
Starters
QB - Eli Manning (32)
-Not the greatest fantasy QB, but I don't mind using a late 4th round pick on 5,000 yards and a couple Super Bowls.
RB - Arian Foster (1)
- No second guesses here.
RB - Trent Richardson (16)
- Probably my most iffy/worst pick, but he has massive potential.
WR - Larry Fitzgerald (17)
- One of the sure bets to put up great numbers.
WR - A.J. Green (33)
- Massive potential, and very unlikely to fall off from his rookie year
TE - Jermichael Finley (49)
- One of the most talented TEs with one of the most pass-happy teams
RB/WR - Michael Turner (48)
- Terrific value, offsets a lot of the risk with the Richardson pick.
DEF - Detroit Lions (81)
- Got them as the third D off the board, big potential.
K - Stephen Gostkowski (113)
- Had him ranked as one of the top kickers. Pats can put up the points.
Bench
QB - Philip Rivers (65)
- Banking on a rebound, but it's great to have him as a backup.
RB - Doug Martin (80)
- Pure potential pick, I'm betting on him taking the starting job.
RB - Toby Gerhart (112)
- Potential starting RB in the last round, even though I'm not a big fan.
WR - Miles Austin (64)
- Another rebound bid, one of my favourite receivers.
WR - Michael Crabtree (96)
- Big potential if Smith can improve/incorporate him into the offense more.
TE - Jacob Tamme (97)
- Had chemistry with P. Manning before, hoping for the same thing in Denver.
MJD went one pick before mine at the end of the second round so I was pretty pissed. Trent Richardson was one of my more iffy picks, I think.
I couldn't believe I got Turner that low, and thought I got pretty good value for most of my picks.
Overall, I'm happy. I feel like I got a good mix of proven and consistent talent, potential picks, and some good rebound bids.
