There are so many directions I could go here. I like Jamaal Charles, Peyton Manning, Shonn Greene, and Jonathan Stewart here. I really like Stewart, but his action is always going to be limited with DeAngelo Williams in the same backfield. Shonn Greene has a perfect situation, but I don't want to hop on that bandwagon just yet, especially because my team at this position already selected a similar situation with Ryan Mathews. Peyton Manning is annually gold, but I don't want to go quarterback here just yet. Alas, I arrive at Jamaal Charles, one of my many man-crushes for this season.
I pick Charles here because I didn't pick Chris Johnson last year. And if there's one thing that I learned from that its this: Don't shy away from picking a dynamic playmaker because you are worried about fatter men stealing his carries. Nobody finished the second half of last season stronger than Charles; he capped off a stellar season with a 259 yard, 2 TD rushing bombshell in the last week. Jamaal Charles is the lifeblood of the Chiefs and look for them to ride his back for any offensive success they may share. He should receive between 20 and 25 touches each week, with a few targets in the passing game.
Charles is a stud, and if all goes well, Ryan Mathews and Jamaal Charles serve the backbone for my dynasty for the next several years.
Projections: 1,450 rushing yards, 7 rushing TDs, 45 receptions, 325 receiving yards, and 2 receiving TDs.
Great analysis but you forgot about someone who should probably be picked right after Fitz. It's Tedd Ginn. The guy is simply a freak of nature, and was my bull for last season. With a guy like him your drafting consistency, versatility and wit. Your on pick 13 and Ted! hasn't been mentioned. Get real.
ReplyDeleteNo one is allowed to draft Ted, because no one can own TED! Ted will be a part of all of our teams via the free agent pool.
