OLD School you are right on about Addai , people forget the 3.3 yds per game the 2nd half of the season.Addai is nothing special ,doesnt have great size or speed and with Rhodes coming over and a high draft pick on a running back[hart].Then Peyton was hurt all preseason and the offensive line was missing starters , especially when all pro Jeff Satuday went down for 6 week's.HELLO McFLY WAS ANYBODY LISTENING, ALL YOU ADDAI GUYS GOT WHAT YOU DERSERVED. NOTHING.

Drafted too late in both main events to have the Addai choice but went for late in the draft for that reason. Had Addai in the WCOFF last year and he killed us in mid-season when we needed him most. Was sharp enough to draft Rhodes in both main events though and am looking for him to put up some numbers with the starting opportunity.

As for SNAKE starting Winslow, I had to laugh knowing I'm playing him this week in the Mag league and his back-up TE is Ben Watson. I'd be rooting for Winslow to man-up too if I had that as my back-up.

Tom, I know the chat is over, but if you look at this thread again, I KNOW you're feeling the pain of Addai. I was there with you when you selected Addai over your boy Gore...When you drafted one of your leagues this past year from your PDA...And low and behold, I take Addai at the 8 spot in the NBC Main Event. *&%!*&! Yea that sucked big time. I played it safe and got burned. Let that be a lesson to everyone - if you believe strongly in someone, be aggressive and go get him. Playing it safe gets you nowhere. I was all over Gore for months but when push came to shove I didn't have the stones to pull the trigger and that obviously was a huge mistake. Hopefully it won't cost me a title in that league but it sure hasn't helped so far.

Eddie G 1ST ROUND PICK OF THE 2008 SEASON JOSEPH Addai FOR MANY REASON'S.Even passed on him at the 10th spot in one league , was not owning him this year.Cant believe people were taking this guy ashigh as 3 in some events with the Barbarian going as late as 10.
My question to Tom , you were very high on Earnest Graham this year but Warwick Dunn has destroyed his value now blocking for him.Who are some of the top 30 players you were going to stay away from this year and how did they turn out for the good or the not so good. I do feel I was right about Graham in terms of how good he can be. The problem is Gruden won't use him to his fullest extent. Give Graham 20-25 carries and he'd be a Top 10 fantasy RB. Guaranteed. The guy is just a good football player.

As far as the players I didn't care for, some of them were:

Bulger
Vince Young
Steven Jackson
McGahee
Maroney
LenDale White
Rudi Johnson
Harrison
Javon Walker
Vernon Davis

I was right about many of them, wrong about one (Harrison). Probably so-so call on Jackson. He's been ok in PPR leagues.

Tom - I have AP going this week. And my only other option is Jonathan Stewart. Should I start Stewart or pick up Rhodes ?

Thoughts?

Thoughts? If it was me, I'd start my best guy and never think twice. I'd rather lose with Peterson then lose by sitting him and watching him go off. I know he hasn't been as stellar as anticipated but how many RBs are there in the game right now who are guaranteed 20+ touches a game? That counts for a lot in my book.

I do like Rhodes a lot and I think he's a fine pickup. Again, I would not be the least bit surprised if Addai, like Harrison last year, is hurt worse than the Colts are letting on.

Ohhhh, wait a minute. I misquoted myself.
I have AP starting and need another RB. MJD and Edgerrin are on Bye weeks and my other RB on my team currently is Jonathan Stewart.

So should I start Stewart as RB2 or pick up Rhodes?
