OB1 33 Posted July 26, 2003 It's a league tradition to whine, so have at it. I have now taken Portis in two 16 team 1-point per reception leagues. As I said in the PISL league, I have the top 6-7 backs so close it's scary. If not for injury concerns, Holmes or Faulk would be the obvious choices in this system, but i'll take Portis' big play ability and hope for the best.

The Unknown Soldier 0 Posted July 26, 2003 I took LT because of his receiving stats. Not a lot of yards or td's receiving, but if he catches 79 balls again, I'll be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Unknown Soldier 0 Posted July 27, 2003 Hmm...I'm bringing a list of 26 names to work with me in case I get to make my swing picks tomorrow. I wonder how many will be left as other people pick what I think are reaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, I also thought a lot about Faulk, but last year spooked me a bit. While I'm happy with RW, I preferred last year, when I picked 9th...TO was an easy pick there.

I'm just saying this was a harder pick than last year when I was trying to decide between Corey Dillon and the likely #1 receiver in a 1/pt per rec. league!

Call me...Tim? 0 Posted July 28, 2003 I think the shocker so fat is Portis. This is Denver/Shannahan...I don't like that as a #2, hell, Griffin will probably be starting by week 3 just to keep shanny consistent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My main money league starts 3RBs and has 12 teams. I won the superbowl last year with T. Henry, T. Barber, M. Pittman, T. Jones, M. Shipp, and some other schlub as my RB roster.

I like Tiki, but I was able to pick him up in RD 3!!@!@!! last year. I think once Marvin went, you should have tried for a WR and attempted to create a run on WR...maybe you could have grabbed Tiki on the 2nd. Overall though, I REALLY like him in this kind of league.

Either way, I'm surprised by looking at the lists I have from others in the league how low he is ranked by some. In this type of league he's worth an extra 50-70 yards per week minimum...that's a LOT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Buffington 3 Posted July 28, 2003 Originally posted by Scooby:Buffington took the other rb I was contemplating on.. I was sure Tiki would have fallen to me. Oh well. I think Green and Taylor are fairly even. I flipped the perverbial coin. If only I was gifted with the 3rd overall pick after coming in first place...that would have made for an easier decision.
