Wayne started the draft off with Charles and I followed with McCoy. I think that will probably be the norm this year in most drafts. Pick 3 is where it's gets tricky. With Charles and McCoy you have two do everything backs that can run,catch and score td's.
The 2014 Fantasy Football season has begun!!!!

Re: Trendsetters 2014
Trendsetters are off and running:
1.1 - Jamaal Charles
1.2 - LeSean McCoy
1.3 - Calvin Johnson
1.4 - Adrian Peterson
1.5 - Matt Forte
So, the suspense is over.
Matt Forte is the RB that everyone should be avoiding this year.
Unfotunately, I also have him on a few Dynasty teams.
Oh, well. There is always next year.

I'm still not a fan of Murray, but with Jules taking Bernard right in front of me, I was stuck.
Rich went with Foster right after me. There was one other injury risk player I considered, but went with Murray.
RB - Matt Forte

Re: Trendsetters 2014
Pick 1.14 - Peyton Manning (1st QB taken)
If I felt he was going to have another NFL leading year, then I had to take him here, especially with 6 pts/per td pass. I do believe he has one more in him and even with a 10-15% drop-off, he would still be worth this pick. I almost felt like I had no choice.
Pick 2.1 - Antonio Brown (WR6 off the board)
I knew I was going WR with this pick based on who was available at wr and rb: Antonio Brown, Brandon Marshall, Jeffery, these were the three that I was considering. I think they each will be in or near the top 5 in targets this year and I further believe that their roles and output should be similar to 2013. All great options.
At one point, I deleted Manning and Brown and typed in Marshall and Jeffery. I have to admit that in the Classic DC format I would have no problem taking these two Bear WRs at the first turn. I feel the Bears offense is only going to get better and their defense will not turn it around in one off-season. They will need to score early and often again. A second year under Trestman bodes well for all 5 of the Bears fantasy options. The only reason I didn't start with these two anchoring my team was that I just couldn't pass up Manning.
Pick 3.1 - Montee Ball (14th RB off the board)
Stacy, Spiller, Murray, Gio and Foster (not being considered by me) all went ahead of me. The next RB with upside I really wanted in this draft was Ball. If Moreno moves on, and I think he will, Ball could be a top 6 back this year. The big question is whether or not he might have made it back to me at 4.14? I didn't think he would so I took Ball over Reggie Bush and Ray Rice (I am buying right now), who was my next option. With Manning and Brown on my roster, I was ready to take and accept some risk with this pick.
If Garcon would have made it to me here, I might have taken him and rolled the dice on Ball making it back to me? He went two ahead of me.
Always good to be drafting.......

Ball over Bush is pretty ballsy.
