Can't ignore the injury history here with SJAX (back) and DWill (knee). As someone stated above, the last thing you need is a bust at #1 or #2 which would HAVE to be injury in the case of these 2. The talent and numbers are there if they stay whole.

Throwing my two cents in, there are players that I simply will not draft no matter what kind of value there is. My reasoning is based on experience and that experience is the fact that there is no worse feeling than going down in flames with players you didn't like or want but felt you had to take because of where they fell. I would rather have lost with players that I will never second guess myself on years down the road.

EVERY time I have broken this rule, I paid the price and this year it will not happen again no matter who the player is and how many spots below his ADP he has fallen.

Ah my mistake, I misread the direction of the thread and thought it was about a player dropping past ADP to 'value' range more than the specific players being discussed. My post was definately general in nature and not a reflection on either SJax or DWill. Carry on

Last night I passed on Gore at 1.6 and took Aaron Rodgers who is far and away number 1 QB this year. I got SJax at 2.9 and the funny thing is that I have Sjax scoring the exact same points as Gore this year. Had I waited and taken QB in the second with Gore in the first the best option would have been Romo whom I have scoring 75 points less than Rodgers. If I was playing to finish top half of the league I probably would have gone the safe route but I want first or last.

I believe it was 3 years ago I was drafting 9th in the main event and Brian Westbrook was making his way towards me and the guy next to me said that Westy was on his do not draft list because he is "injury prone." I never did get a chance to thank him for letting the number one fantasy running back fall to me so late in the draft that year.

wayne, are you saying you felt SJax would be there at 2.9?
