nocarbs 0 Posted August 28, 2008 I know Westbrook will be on the board when I make my draft pick. I already know that Brady, AP and LT will be gone. Westbrook cost me the league championship last year when he stepped out at the one yard line against the cowboys to kill the clock. I STILL FEEL THE PAIN! I really don't want Westly on my team (PPR=1 point), my brain says to draft Westly but I still hate him. I am leaning towards JA or SJax. My question is how can I draft someone I really hate? (i know Hate is a strong word). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pimptaddy 0 Posted August 28, 2008 Westbrook should be the #3 overall pick in standard leagues and #2 overall pick in PPR leagues. You are an idiot if you pass on him at pick 4 in a ppr league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cardphan 0 Posted August 28, 2008 Then pick up Addai, but expect less yards per carry and about 50 less receptions. Or pick up SJax, and expect him to fight and struggle for 2 yard runs while carrying 5 defenders on his back because he has no one to block for him.. This decision is easy man, FF has no loyalty either way. I can only pray Westbrook is on the board when I pick 5th tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apollo Creed 9 Posted August 28, 2008 one of the best plays ive ever seen... if you dont take him, your crazy.. he'll have a better year than all three of those. Dont forget they play football.. and he actually should of scored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted August 28, 2008 Westbrook should be the #3 overall pick in standard leagues and #2 overall pick in PPR leagues. You are an idiot if you pass on him at pick 4 in a ppr league. I don't often agree w/ the Pimp, but he's dead on here... FWIW...It may just be a hunch, but didn't you have several other players on your roster when Westbrook layed down at the 1 that also didn't put up enough pts to win the game for you? Maybe it's not JUST Westbrooks fault huh??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccombsau 5 Posted August 28, 2008 Gotta go with Westy.....he may have cost you 6 points there but don't forget the other 270 points he did get you If you really can't get over it, go MBIII Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, not feeling your SJax comment, and I see him as possibly a top3 RB if things work out for the Rams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bno70_1 0 Posted August 28, 2008 Funny, I had Westy last year and absolutely love him. Maybe because I can look past one act that caused his team to lock up an important victory and focus on the fact that without him I would never have been in the playoffs, let alone the finals, let alone the champ. If you pass on him at #4 in a PPR, then you are just trying to lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcgangstas 41 Posted August 28, 2008 Passing on Westbrook in a PPR format; that's crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
believe_in_gibbs 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Nocarbs>> Don't dwell on the past (a tip for ff and life). Westbrook had an outstanding season last year (especially in the receiving dept. [90]). I'm drafting Westbrook at #2 in my draft this weekend. This particular league is a PPR (I'd actually draft him at #2 in a standard scoring league; how can you argue with his 278 rushes and 90 receptions!?). He's the featured weapon (not just back) on the Eagles. I like him more than AP due to his injury history (I won't even bother throwing other rbs that are a tier lower). You might want to reconsider if Westbrook makes it to you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
