NFFC Early Season Draft Results

[David U Kennedy]

I never proclaimed the smartest guy thing that was somebody else's. To each his own I guess. I just prefer to have strong WR over strong RBs. Backup RBs are more likely to make an impact rather than backup WRs. Whats the difference if you have 2 RBs whose PPG are 18 and two WRs who have 18 PPG average? The WRs are more likely to play 16 games. Production is production.

s. Production is production.

I would definitely disagree with this statement. But instead of explaining why I'll let you figure it out lol. You should be getting in more of these DC drafts. Maybe you are and we have just been missing each other. But they are a lot of fun. The good thing is that they are moving fast. Less than 2:45 for 35 rounds.

I can remember another Mess Board debate about taking WRs from the same team. Most guys wouldn't do it because one guy would always have a low week. It worked out pretty well for me taking Moss and Welker 1st and 3rd round. Im no sheep I tell you!!!

I hope, as a Jets fan, that Ivory comes though for you. I have him as an RB3 in a few leagues, where his stats are optional. Having to count on him every week to put up numbers for you, with not much behind him with regards to scoring RBs, I think you may struggle for points at RB. But, I guess that was your plan..

Thr thing that surprises me with Ivory and his apparent appeal based on where he's being drafted is, he couldn't stay healthy in New Orleans carrying the ball 40-50 times a year. How the heck is he going to stay healthy in NY carrying the ball 250+ times? And as a kicker he doesn't do much in the passing game....assuming the Jets will even have one.
Don't mean to rag on your roster David, but after JStew, Forte, AP and Gore go down, you won't need Ivory anyways.

What was the hit rate in rounds 4 & 5 - RBs v WRs ?

If you have time, Mike

I subjectively set the bar for round 4/5 WRs at 225 NFFC points and RBs at 200, as that's what I projected as the ballpark range for these positions drafted in these rounds. YMMV.

Given that, it looks like the hit rate was 30% for WRs and 37.5% for RBs. This data, combined with the round 6+ data I posted yesterday provides further evidence of what a wildass crapshoot FF really is.

WR
225+ # ADP Last First Team Pts
1 4.4 Austin Miles DAL 195
2 4.5 Maclin Jeremy PHI 196
* 3 4.9 Thomas Demaryius DEN 294
4 4.9 Bowe Dwayne KC 156
* 5 4.10 Jackson Vincent TB 260
6 4.11 Lloyd Brandon NE 195
7 5.0 Brown Antonio PIT 175
8 5.2 Johnson Stevie BUF 219
9 5.4 Jackson DeSean PHI 126
* 10 5.5 Decker Eric DEN 269

RB
200+ # ADP Last First Team Pts
1 4.0 Jackson Fred BUF 119
2 4.2 Bradshaw Ahmad NYG 182
* 3 4.8 Martin Doug TB 313
* 4 4.9 Bush Reggie DET 209
5 4.9 Turner Michael ATL 177
* 6 5.1 Gore Frank SF 232
7 5.9 Greene Shonn TEN 187
8 5.11 Green-Ellis BenJarvus CIN 176

I also don't buy into the Ivory hype. Not only are there durability concerns but projecting his numbers with the Saints over an entire season with the Jets is like comparing apples to oranges. Until the Jets have any threat of a passing game, Ivory and any other Jets RB should see nothing but 8 man fronts all day long. I'd take Ivory as a RB3 but I think your teams will be in trouble if you're banking on much more than that.
