Follow the draft live here. We have the 12 pick, so we will be rolling with back-to-back selections in this one. It's nice to have different draft spots in order to tryout different approaches. Enjoy.

Scoring is: Non PPR, all TDs (Even passing) are 6 points… rushing/receiving is 1pt per 10 yards, passing is 1 point per 20 yards.

Results so far:

Switching it up, huh Smitty?

Moss in the 1st and Manning in the 2nd?

I am very interested to see how this team ends up.

I'll be honest, I had to predraft today and this is a predraft fallout. I wouldn't almost always grab at least 1RB, but you know what, I don't mind trying this out. Those were my two highest rated players on my list, but I did not plan on that going down. One bad thing about MFL is that you can't order your predrafts with certain stipulations. I like the players, just unsure what my backs will look like. If a Turner falls, I'll be fine.

Again, we shall see how this works out. I usually don't predraft that first and second round. I still think I have some SERIOUS scoring with Manning/Moss, so it will be alright, but some RBs have to fall.

Selvin Young in the mid of the 2nd round. Does that guy know something we don't know or what?

Non-PPR and Reggie Bush at 2.04?

Andre Johnson over Reggie Wayne?

And in non-PPR, Braylon Edwards should not still be on the board with 6 WR's gone.

You can have a different list of players for each round and specify the positions to draft by round as well. 

Smitty, if you go to the For Owners menu, click the “My Draft Preferences” link, you can specify the position to draft there (for each round).  Then it will pull from your “My Draft List” (by round) to make your pick.

Yea, well I'm find with this. I don't mind trying out this monster TD strategy. Manning and Moss were my two highest ranked guys, it just so happened that I didn't have another RB in the list. Thought I had one more to spare when I initially set up that first round predraft list. Again, I'm fine with it. I think I'll land a coulple sleeper rushers. I may just go RB/WR, who knows. I'm typically a RB/RB guy, or at least a RB/WR guy, but I have so many leagues I'm game to test out all kinds of strategies.

We shall see, but Manning and Moss could carry me in any given week. I would have taken Lynch if I had drafted live, or predrafted an extra back.

With these guys left, things aren't looking too bad at all:

  • Ronnie Brown
  • Laurence Maroney
  • Earnest Graham
  • Brandon Jacobs

A couple of the teams still need WRs, so one of these guys will likely be available, which will be outstanding considering the wait on our RB1.

Peyton Manning, Earnest Graham, Darren McFadden, Randy Moss would be a heck of a start  IMO.

Yep ;)

I think I'm going to like this squad more than if I took a RB. I like Manning a lot this year. Would have went Moss/Lynch if I had been drafting live, like I said, but I'll be happy to at least get to play this strategy out once. I just wish it were a PPR, though.

Again, this isn't my normal strategy, but what are everyone's thoughts on going RB/WR right here. I realize the RBs will get thin, but can't help but want to try the experiment of:

Peyton Manning, Earnest Graham, ______, Randy Moss, Chad Johnson

Wow. I'll have some serious work ahead of me at the RB position all year long, but with the sharing situations out there, this could be an interesting team. More so in a PPR, which this league isn't, but still like the looks of the TD production I'll get with this format. Also remember fellas, this league awards 6 points per passing TD, one reason Manning was so high on my predraft list.
