1st Overall Pick: Who you taking? - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

**Knick Killer** · 08-16-2012, 05:38 PM

If you had the first overall pick in your Fantasy football league this year, who would you take?

Foster, McCoy, or Rice? Or someone else?

**Dornado** · 08-16-2012, 05:45 PM

This year, just like last year prior to his hamstring injury, my pick would be Arian Foster

FSH · 08-16-2012, 06:43 PM

Foster is probably best bet but Schaub,Johnson and Tate are all back so that is gonna take some of the load off of Foster

Dark Horse for #1 pick Darren McFadden if he is healthy is gonna be the top RB in FF i think this year

hobojoe · 08-16-2012, 07:10 PM

Foster and not even thinking twice about it.

scdn · 08-16-2012, 07:17 PM

McCoy.

**Dornado** · 08-16-2012, 07:21 PM

Interesting.

McCoy certainly could be the guy. I just think that the Texans offense will roll on people if they stay healthy... McCoy is an elite guy and I wouldn't be surprised if he was RB1 this year. I have Ray Rice next, as do most. McFadden obviously has the potential... he's just been limited to 100-something carries each of the last three years because of injuries. Maybe he pulls a Fred Taylor health-wise.

**Knick Killer** · 08-16-2012, 08:19 PM

I would almost be tempted to take McCoy ahead of Foster to be honest. I think he's going to have a monster season.

Foster. No doubt in my mind. With Ben Tate as insurance in the 5th if I have to. If I don't get Foster I'll start looking to vulture Tate around the 6th or 7th; my best fantasy year was when I nabbed Larry Johnson out from under the Priest Holmes owner the year he went down.

I basically bullied an owner into taking Johnson that year because he'd drafted Holmes early. He was picking before me and there was a guy on the board that I wanted so I started talking about how I was going to draft Larry Johnson to **** him over so he'd take Johnson, which he did. I ended up with whatever also-ran I was targeting. Unfortunately he traded Johnson down the stretch to one of our better owners and basically gifted him a championship. ****ing fantasy football.

People still do snake drafts?

**Dornado** · 08-17-2012, 07:55 AM

We do a variation on a snake draft where the 3rd/4th rounds get flipped in my main league (about 20+ years old).

How else would you do it?

And the real questions is...who do you take fourth. Foster, McCoy, Rice are 1a,1b,1c. But if you are drafting outside the top three, who are you looking at?

Rodgers? Megatron? McFadden?

**BlakeJesus** · 08-17-2012, 08:16 AM

4th is unquestionably Aaron Rodgers IMO.

Rhyder · 08-17-2012, 10:03 AM

1. Foster
2. Rice
3. McCoy
4/5. Rodgers (Reg) / Megatron (PPR)

The league I've done since Middle School has moved to an auction, but my grad school one is a snake keeper.
