Good points being made for even taking Barber ahead of Addai. Although it's going against the consensus, I think Barber is the #5 rb. How much better will he be than a Ryan Grant who should also catch more passes this year and is also in a very good offense and is going in rd 2?

MBIII was a player I FEARED playing against last year.

He made me hate him, he did so well when my opponents had him.

He won me over as the season progressed.

I just wonder if his body can take all the punishment if you add another 60 plus touches to his workload.

He's high on my list.

Hey Lance
Think Barber will be able to withstand the extra load. He is not like Jacobs of Giants who was not even a goal line back last year. Not like I put a huge amount of weight on ADP but Barber has been increasing in value at a higher percentage than anyone else.I am also a Cowboy fan so there is some bias but he should be taken anywhere from 5-9 depending on your particular league.
Good Luck

Marty

Quhoags your right , just cant keep my mouth shut.
Still i havnt seen Marion go any higher than 7, so at 5 i have to be safe who they want.Nowif i was picking 8, 9, or10 i wouldnt say a word but at 5 im safe or they will be dragging me out of NY AFTER the riot i will create.i WAS wrong on j jONES a couple years ago when he was a top 10 pick but Barber has a little of a better track record.Thats 2 great years not one great a half a season.

I don't consider taking a te, k, or d in the first round either. Is that close minded?

Btw, I just popped 2 xanax. Any suggestions on what I should wash it down with?

The last time I flew in april to new orleans I did 8 xanax and washed it down with 5 beers and 4 shots. Needless to say I have no memory of the plane ride nor the first 24 hours of new orleans.

I got the 4 and I'm pretty sold on LT,Westy,AP and then...Gore
It makes me nervous but considering Addai has lost Saturday for a while and his schedule which I'm not usually huge on just screams tough running yards to me. Were Gore's schedule screams fantasy points to me add to that I believe he was top 3 in percentage of teams total yardage last year, which I believe will go up and there ya have it for now
