Run or Pass? · PACKERSHOME

I checked out a top 50 fantasy draft and the top 9 were all RB's ... it's a passing league, wtf!! I'm taking a TE first.

Edit, apparently I was assuming folks could read my pea sized brain with this post. I should have said, after checking out a top 50 fantasy and seeing the top 9 were RB's, didn't they get the memo it's a passing league??!?!? At least, our fantasy league is.

I'm the idiot that made a poor post, that led to others being equally idiotic in their responses. Hopefully this clears it up a bit'ch!

With that said, I've seen a few fantasy leagues go with 2 QBs instead of the 2/3 RBs, thus obviously making them more passing orientated when it comes down to drafting players.

The NFL is a passing league. Most fantasy leagues are running leagues.

RB > QB in fantasy. Generally.

Brett Favre in 1996 was an exception. He was #1 in fantasy points that year. Aaron Rodgers was #3 in fantasy points in 2009.

I think Michael Vick was #1 last season, or Aaron Rodgers. I'm fairly confident it wasn't a RB.

Edit, QB's had the top six positions last year.

Edit2, again, another idiot post by me, figuring it was common sense I was talking about our league. Again, my mistake, it's in the NFL section, not the Fantasy section, which clearly implies my post being related to ALL fantasy leagues, not the one I was intending it for, which is our fantasy league.

The post should have read as ... In our league, I think Michael Vick was #1 last season, or Aaron Rodgers. I'm fairly confident it wasn't a RB. After checking the end of year points in our league, the top six spots were QB's.

Lesson Learned: be more specific!!!

Top 5 are RBs. The next 2 are WRs. The next dude is a RB. The guy after that (#9) is Tom Brady, the top QB. Then two more RBs. So only one QB in the top 10.

http://packershome.com/zGraphics/Public/fantasy2010.jpg there's a picture.

So, unless the picture is wrong, only 3 RB's in the top 20.

Dude, the top 20 fantasy players all depend on the league's point rules. So they will vary from league to league.

Pro-football-reference's fantasy point system is very generic and used by the majority of fantasy leagues. That said, Formo hit the nail on the head. There's a lot of variance between fantasy league point scoring systems.

I think we should change our league to 2 quarterbacks and no flex 🙂

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

dfosterf (2h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (2h) : *Friday*

dfosterf (2h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (2h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (2h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (2h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (2h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (2h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (2h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (2h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (2h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (2h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off
