I have the #1 pick in fantasy football, who do I pick?

[BlueBrewer]

The scoring goes as follows:
RB and REC

1 Point ever 10 yards rushing
1 point every 10 yards receiving
1 point every reception
6 points per td
bonuses @ 100 and 200 yards.

QB
1 point every 25 yards rec
1point every 10 yards rushing
4 points every td throwing
6points rushing td

[BlueBrewer]

I am leaning towards Larry Johnson assuming that Priest is done.

[Partial]

Peyton?

[Rastak]

Peyton?

Yea, that would be mine as well....but Johnson isn't a bad pick either.

Shaun Alexander is still good despite the loss of the outstanding gaurd Steve Hutchinson (had to throw that in..... )

[BlueBrewer]

QBs get 4 points for tds and 1 point every 25 yards passing, it has to be a rb according to scoring.

[BallHawk]

I'm really not buying the Johnson hype. Yes, he produced great numbers last season, but for half the season. If he goes 16 game and gives 1500+ then I will recognize him as a top back, but until he produces he isn't a number 1 pick, IMO.

If you can trade down than trade down and get a RB like Tiki Barber, he is gonna produce.

Joey Harrington. Believe it or not, this is Harrington's breakout year. Look for a 66. 2% 4500 yds 45 tds 10 ints from Harrington, enroute to being name the NFL MVP. This is the year of the ONE.

ARE YOU KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Johnson rushed for that in a HALF OF A SEASON! good lord I wish I was in your league if you are not giving johnson the #1 pick!

[The Leaper]

In a league that credits receptions, I would take LT. With the loss of Brees, SD is going to rely even more on Tomlinson to pound the ball on the ground. Rivers also will be more likely to dump the ball into the flat because of his inexperience, so LT is likely to exceed 60 receptions this year.

LT = 1900 tot yards, 60 catches, 20 TD = 370 pts
LJ = 2000 tot yards, 35 catches, 22 TD = 367 pts

LT has higher upside too...because he could easily put up 80-100 catches if Gates or a starting WR goes down to injury. LT should be the #1 pick in just about any league that rewards receptions for RBs.

[MJZiggy]

You mean you're not taking TO?

[Tony Oday]

but a full year of Johnson cmon

[PackerPro42]

Larry Johnson. Plain and simple.

[TravisWilliams23]

I'd take LJ over Manning. Losing James might hurt
Peyton more than anyone realizes

[Deputy Nutz]

I have a hard time not going with Tomlinson. He gets it done while rushinga and catching the ball. That alone will rack up the points. Larry is a monsters but, I don't think he catches too many balls out of the backfield.

Tomlinson might struggle with Rivers at QB, but this guy has gotten it done year in and year out, even when they were shitty, so I don't think it matters who he has at QB

[bbbffl66]

I can't believe nobody is thinking Alexander. All the guy did was set the TD record last year. Sure the 'hawks lost Hutchinson, but as TT showed us last year, guards are easy to replace.
