To go even deeper into the "RBBC" this year, I say it's the return of the fantasy fullback. Greg Jones is now the all time highest paid fullback. I would expect to see more of him in the gameplan with that type of salary. *Also, I see Larry Centers cringing when he found out about how much Greg Jones' new contract was for.

DIESEL,Is your love for WESTBROOK growing even more? remember what I told you last Saturday.I personally think that if you get a top 5 pick your safe"barring injury",otherwise its a crap shoot and the "high" end wr's,qb's abd te.'s are the safer play in the earlier rounds.

kapefear, IF Philly signs Chad Johnson, I have Westbrook as low as 3-4. If Chad doesn't go to Philly, and Westbrook is forced to be the only weapon again, he goes a little higher. I've been to his wedding, so it wouldn't bother me to go to his funeral.

diesel,rumor has it you caught the bouquet and still have a bar tab.I can see your point and the numbers don't lie,but age,wear and tear,and a tough division could add up to a long year.I"like a lot of people" got crushed by injuries last year.I had steven jackson at#2 last year and would have to make decision between jackson,addai,westbrook,peterson.TOUGH CALL,especially with KOLB warming up in the bullpen.

I hope I get to make that decision at #2 this year. I've been hit hard with injuries every year in the main event. I'm not looking to do that again this year. But Westbrook, even though he's an injury risk, would be really hard to pass up if I had a spot around 4-5 in the draft. You can say "I told you so" if I take him this year...lol

As a result, what I think you'll see more of this year in the Drafts are Fantasy teams spending two consecutive mid-round picks to lock up a RBBC backfield, instead of picking half of that backfield and then hoping for the best.

[/QUOTE]I don't see this working unless you're banking on a 50/50 split or major injuries again. [/QUOTE]I'm not really referring to a 50-50 split, but instead taking advantage of an initial RBBC that then turns into one of the RB's clearly separating and becoming the primary ball carrier. This can occur via injury, or is more likely to occur early in the season when one of the RB's so clearly outshines the other (like Marion Barber over Julius Jones, Adrian Peterson over Chester Taylor for example) that he then becomes the real deal in the backfield. By locking up the backfield in the draft, you might get a RB stud.
Possible examples include:
ReShard Mendenhall / Willie Parker
Jonathon Stewart / DeAngelo Williams
Darren McFadden / Michael Bush (probably)
Using this approach (which I'm NOT necessarily advocating, I'm just outlining the strategy) could turn a pair of Middle Round picks into a solid Second Round value. This could be especially valuable if you go QB-WR or WR-WR in the first two Rounds.
Just something to think about.

I see your point and it is something to consider. I can't see myself following this logic, but I can definitely see it being employed.
