So you took L.T., L.J., Alexander, Jackson or another running back in the first round of your fantasy draft over Payton Manning. A mistake made each year by millions of running back happy fantasy players. Manning is not only the top QB in fantasy football, but is the best overall player. So, why not take him? I'm very happy with trading up to the #4 pick to grab Manning. Last night's game is a great example why. Three TD's and 288 yards! Not an above average night and not a below average night, but a standard week in, week out performance by Payton.
There were two RB's playing last night that in most leagues were both drafted ahead of Manning: Bush & Addai. Put both their numbers together and you didn't score as many points as Manning did. How many people skipped on Manning in the first round to get a top 5 QB stud later in the draft like Drew Brees? How did that work out for you last night?
You take the best scoring players in fantasy in each round, regardless of position. Those that left Manning on the table for the likes of Reggie Bush or Willie Parker made a huge mistake. Somebody prove me wrong.
