    Fantasy Football Chatter: Would you draft anyone other than Chris Johnson #1?
    If someone was very persuasive they could talk me into Peterson at #1.

    But thats pushing it.

    This year kind of reminds me of about 5 years ago when LJ was coming off that sick year, and many people winded up talking themselves into taking LJ #1 before LT. But LT ended up having another retardedly great year. While LJ regressed a bit.

    So assume CJ #1, AP #2, ....Which RB would you grab at #3?

    I'd go with Ray Rice, I trust him more and the Ravens offense over MJD.

        Would you go with either of them (Rice or MJD) over AP at #2?

          Depends on the league settings, but it would be tough not to.

            If I were to take anyone top 3, it'd be Ray Rice. Not only is he an exceptional back, but he gets Cleveland in Week 16, which is my league's fantasy championship week.

              Thats called looking ahead

              Would you take Rice over AP at #2?

              The Vikings have a tough tough schedule this year.

                  Good question....with Chester gone will AP get more 3rd down snaps?

                  If not...then Maybe Rice and Drew #2 and #3 respectively.

                  AP #4

                  The top WR #5?

                  Not sure. Good question.

                    I would seriously consider taking MJD with the 1st pick, the jags have a very soft schedule.

                      Adrian Peterson will give you excellent production, but what worries me is that he's historically been less effective in the second half of the season, which is a big part of that tough schedule for Minnesota.

                      I would definitely take Ray Rice at number 2. I expect the Ravens offense to be much more effective this year.

                        Interesting.

                        How important is the schedule when it comes to the draft? I know we look at bye weeks. But should we look at the actual schedule as well?

                          will rice even get the goaline carries?

                                AP will play with a chip on his shoulder. Thats forsure. And he might be getting more 3rd down touches. If he corrects the fumble problem, he can become even more effective.

                                Ray Rice is probably better...well forsure better...in PPR leagues.

                                  Agree. I assume he as saying hed take MJD with his first pick, and Rodgers with his 2nd round pick.

                                  At least I hope thats what he meant.

                                                  AP over CJ if Albert Young isn't backing up AP..

                                                      Adrian Peterson is my #1 since Chester Taylor is gone and AP will get the TDs. Always be weary of the touches leader

                                                        If your in a league where fumbles don't hurt you, then Peterson would be a good #1 pick.
