Where did the first HCs go?

Handcuffs are a part of the game and some players use it as a blocking strategy too. My classic league saw what seemed to be a much earlier run on these type and was curious if this is the 'new normal' in FFL now that we have so many unsettled situations.

As far as clear cut HCs and not those muddled RBBC Denver type things, our first was Bradshaw 6.2 although some would argue D Brown at 6.1 was the true first. On a side note both of these picks were by teams that did NOT have the season starter.

Bradshaw 4.11 I thought that was early, although I do like him. He is actually a RB1 on the team that took him.

I know Jacobs is the starter, but I like Bradshaw enough to handcuff him with Ware. Maybe I'm looking into it too much, but I see a lot out of the three headed monster, that passing game in NY doesn't look too impressive eventhough I really wanted Hicks.

SJax is my RB1, and it looks like Bradshaw might end up being my 2, unless rook James Davis steps up. I was hoping Lewis would get cut yesterday, but I don't see him getting in Davis' way. But then again Davis plays for the Browns too.....

i was in league with guy who took bradshaw at 4.11. i consider that the worst pick of the whole draft.. in my opinion.. only because right after him, Witten was available, a whole slew of running backs and wr's. he could have most likely at the very least waited a round if not 2 to get bradshaw anyway.. it was a case of way overreaching and not knowing the value of a player.. hey if he starts when jacobs goes down (notice i said "when" not "if") because he will go down, he'll be solid however this guy really hurt himself by doing that ... oh well. i knew the washingtons, bradshaws, sproles, menndenhalls, of the world would go higher then normal however 4th round is bad.

Nuts! This is where luck plays a big part in FF. You'd be lucky to draft beside that guy who leaves quality players for you while reaching mightily.

Addai went 4.2 in our league.
