No Fantasy For Elliot

CBS Sports said I made the worst first round pick. I liked that I got Howard early because a run on RB's made me round out team with RB's Blount and Hill. WRs ended up Hilton, Cooks, Tyrell Williams and Garcon. QBs Brees and Rivers..TE's Eifert and Graham...Kicker Vinatieri ...and Defenses Patriots and Cowboys....I got lucky that I didn't draft high enough to take Elliott and got the NFL's second leading rusher in Howard.

I would still draft Elliott in another draft but not as high. His appeal may lower the number of games suspended, and even if he plays in just 10 games he could still get 1,000 yards. You never know how others will draft, every Fantasy Draft a little different on who people like. Elliott still a good RB pick after round one if he falls. I would take 10 of his games over 16 of some of the others. Just not up around #1 pick anymore. Heck, I took often injured Eifert but about same time took Seattle TE Graham. If Eifert healthy, that pays off big. I'll take Elliott in drafts if he falls. I would love to get Howard and then also Elliott and maybe Blount if Elliott falls.

How much Elliott falls in the drafts, that's the question. He's not injured. If he falls huge, he becomes a steal.

Yikes.... please tell me you didn't draft him before McCoy.

Also, most fantSy seasons are 12 weeks before playoffs. So you are missing 50% of the regular season. If you are good at drafting then you may take a flier in round 3. But not any sooner.

Howard is a good back, but that is really high.
