One of the interesting things about the league to me are the thoughts I have after just one week on players drafted from top to bottom of draft of my team. Since a handful of other people in league seem to have a lot of free time to debate odd things, I find this to be more enjoyable exercise. I probably have more guys that I'm a bit down on than up on after first week but luckily some of the guys I'm higher on are the big dogs.
Good News:
L.J. Scott, Michigan State - He is the man there by all accounts. Don't care about the numbers here vs Furman but sounds like coaches, writers, fans were impressed enough. He would never have been available Round 3 if people knew he'd have this spot and it looks like he's got it.
Nick Wilson, Arizona - In a tight game, Orlando Bradford got 1 carry. Hopefully Wilson can stay healthy with this type of load. Performed well also.
Okay News:
Trevor Knight, Texas A&M - Did not play great at all but the reason I kept him was for the TD scampers that he had in this game. Did enough to win the game and A&M didn't go 180 degrees toward running the ball a ton.
Damien Harris, Alabama - Although Bo got more carries, Harris had the long runs. Could be useful vs lesser teams down the road and may be 1A instead of 1B. What hurts him is Hurts playing as a dynamic running threat.
Richard Lagow, Indiana - Clearly the starter and seemed to play OK. They ran the ball alot though. Was hoping for more passing from Kevin Wilson. Not sure I could use him except vs like Purdue.
Kerryon Johnson - The positive is that they gave him the ball a lot and they really don't have other options. The problem is if they play a mediocre or better D, there just isn't enough on this O to move the ball all that well.
Bad News:
Ralph Webb, Vandy - Blasingame with 15 carries in a close game? Also, the offense still sucks. Looks like he is useful except for their FCS game maybe.
K-State WRs - I know its Stanford and they won't play any more Stanfords in the Big 12 but passing game has to be better or that plan I had isn't working.
Marcus Marshall, Geo Tech - I thought he'd be the guy at B-Back but he wasn't in game 1. Offense didn't look so great although its a solid D. Read on Twitter than Byron Pringle had 11 targets. I guess that's good!
Terry Godwin, Georgia - Seems like Chubb is full strength (understatement) and once they trust depth more, they are going to still run the ball a ton. Even if Godwin becomes #1 WR, not sure that they pass enough to make him worthwhile. Also, every game in SEC might be 12-10 this year.
