Witten could be a steal if he's healthy.

I think he misses a game, and maybe two, but it will be the first one since 2003. I think he comes back fine and has a good season

I mean, if you guess correctly then you can get some good points, there is no rhyme or reason to who gets the carries in any given week.

That is Shanahan's MO. He has been doing it for years with his running backs and frustrating fantasy players for 15 seasons at least. It's the primary reason I can't stand that asshole.

That's funny you guys are talking about this. I just got off the phone with a buddy from a local draft last night. He took Helu and I was just telling him that I will never take a Shanahan running back again. I mentioned that it is like he has a personal vendetta against FF players.

Gotta have a backup, I guess. And Cassel had the dreaded week 7 bye. Seems like a crapshoot between him (crappy QB in good situation) and Cassel (mediocre QB in mediocre situation) and Bradford (decent QB in crappy situation)

Hm.. I might need an RB in the first week or two while Ryan Matthews keeps getting healthy. Oh, I know! I'll get another RB made out of glass who I probably won't even feel bad about dropping when he gets hurt again (hopefully) by the time Matthews is good to go. Oh, and did I mention he's on a high octane offense with his two primary competitions are on PUP and suspended for 2 weeks.

11.2 RB Kevin Smith, DET

I've wanted him in both leagues but have always found that I need other positions more than WR. I think he's an excellent value pick at this point and we're not that far from where the bottom drops out of WR and we're onto crazy fliers and WW pickups inseason

That's always a nice feeling. I don't think I would have gone Murray in the 3rd and would have gone QB (Rivers probably) since you have such a nice RB 1-2 combo. But that's also because I wouldn't be waiting around for RG3. I would have already had my QB and gone Donald Brown there instead. But I like the Locker-Freeman QB2/3 combo.

Also, I don't really like Victor Cruz and think he's going to fall back down to earth, but WRs I do like went right before you (Jennings, Nicks, Nelson) and I think it was a drop off after that. Maybe that's where I go RB3 (Turner, Gore, Bush maybe)- someone without a high ceiling and hopefully not too low of a floor.

Witten is a great deal if healthy and same with Britt but I think one of those is much more likely than the other.

I thought hard about him instead of Smith but it's been quite a while since a GB running back has put up good numbers and that backfield is still unsettled. Still, it's the 11th round and now we're into the calculated risk portion of the RB program.

I love Murray this year, I will not end up with Turner in any league I am in this year. I also do not like Gore or Bush very much either.

Now the Redskins have a 4th RB to try and guess on.
