My big concern is that we all know the Chiefs will stink in 2008; I'd say 5-11 to be generous. So what is the risk that they shut him down at the end of the season for some minor injury that he would play through if the games mattered? (actually the Chiefs would PREFER to lose in my scenario) An example of this was the 2006 Rams with Bulger, SJax and Holt all sitting out the last few. If you can live with this, I think he's a steal. His catches went up dramatically last year and the new OC has to be more creative than Herm, so bump him up further in PPR.

I was shocked that he was still around for me to grab. By the way three picks later as the draft came back to me in the 3rd i got Braylon Edwards. I had a great draft and if AP and LJ can stay healthy i should have a great combo.

LJ has a ton of draft value. One isn't drafting him to score 20+ TDs anymore, which means he just has to get 10 or so earn his draft value. Anything else and he is outperforming, which is the goal in the end... having guys that outperform their draft value. It just comes down to value here. LJ has a ton of draft value.

LJ is definitely coming cheap right now and going behind guys like MJD and MBIII, which is nuts to me. I'm sitting at the 9 spot in one of my leagues and am going to see if I can get him with my 2nd pick! :) No kidding, thought for sure I’d see a comment from him by now… :)
