Doesn't it seem that there is a huge lack of RB's this year?

It seems after LT, Jackson, and Addai and Westbrook that everyone shares carries or is injury prone. It seems this year that back that is of 2nd back quality is your number 1 this year. It also seems there is no depth. Are we seeing a transition from the RB dominated fantasy years to a more QB and WR dominated league?

I think most teams are trying to use their own depth more and more, which makes it hard to have fantasy depth. A lot of teams will consistently use their 4th and 5th WR or 3rd TE. Backup RBs are becoming a thing of the past because they're getting teamed with another back. Obviously this isn't league-wide, but it's happening more and more frequently and making fantasy much more difficult to predict.

Will you have this left guard to be the 224th pick?

I really think I may switch my draft strategy this year. In the past I would ALWAYS take a RB in the first 3 out of the four rounds. But this year I really see RB's being less valuable.

Or more valuable, if you consider the drop-off to be greater.

But yes, if you consider all RB's in rounds 2-5 a virtual crapshoot, you could grab two stud wideouts early or something.

My keeper is Adrian Peterson, since I got him at last year's auction for $12 ($100 cap) to go with LT as my RB tandem. man, that was awesome. Not sure how I'll swing it this year. I've had LT for 5-6 years now, so other guys in the league will be gunning to make sure I don't get him again.

I still like Brian Westbrook, when he can stay healthy.
