simadafuma Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Is anyone else worried about all this hype Willis is getting? I honestly believe he's going to have a killer year, but all this attention about his Fantasy value has me worried about some kind of Madden like jinx. I'm keeping him in one league. Hell of a last round pick! Hope it doesn't jinx us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 if i have the 4th-6th pick in either of my leagues and he's around, you can be damn sure i'll take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simadafuma Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 I wouldn't think he'll be around that late. I took him in the last round last year in case Henry went down and I could trade him. He ended up kickin butt for me and I'm keeping him this year. I keep seeing him on magazine covers and reading about his fantasy value. Alot of people have him as the number 1 overall pick.

Seriously, I won't be shocked if he goes top 10 in my league, but that's because my league is like any other league around here, and we have a few Buffalo homers. I think McGahee has the "potential" to be a 1700+ year runner this year, but we are basing this all on 10 games. Personally, I'd prefer guys who have shown me something for more time than that: These are players who, if available, I would pick over Willis: Thomlinson Holmes Peyton Manning Duece McAllister Jamal Lewis Ahman Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 As seen in the TBD3 league, I only have two players rated above WM...Manning and Tomlinson. IMO, the rest of those guys will all have VERY similar seasons, so being a Bills fan I want McGahee on my team. Not exactly being a homer, but close! The only other RB I would consider taking over WM is Alexander. He gets a lot of TD's that really push his fantasy numbers up. But I would rather take a flyer on McGahee. It makes the fantasy season that much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't going to be available in the league I was referring to because it's a keeper league and the salary hit is minimal since he was a last round pickup last year. I'm keeping him cheap. I wasn't saying anyone in my league had him ranked #1 overall but a couple FF experts (whatever that means), have him ranked #1 overall. Can't remember the magazine it was in.

I'm in a 10 team league that drafts next Monday night. I know LT is going 1st overall and for me at #2, I was thinking Alexander or Manning. I lean towards Alexander mainly because i don't like drafting a QB that early. Any thoughts on picking 2nd? I enjoy looking at others rosters and posting them here for others to rate. I will post mine Tuesday morning for others to pick apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I've done 3 leagues so far and Manning and LT have gone 1 and 2 in all 3. I haven't picked top two, but if I did, I would have to go with one of them. If you don't want Manning, I think Alexander would be the way to go. Manning would be really hard to pass up though (and this is coming from a guy who hates drafting QB's early) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I don't like going QB here, he almost has to be the pick. This forces my hans in rounds 2 and 3 to go RB. Is it unreasonable to think that guys like Steven Jackson @ 2 and LaMont Jordan @ 3? That looks pretty good actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
