Aug. 20 (Studs outside the top 12)

It’s August 20, 2007… my fantasy football draft will take place tomorrow evening…

The draft starts at 7:30 p.m. Eastern… which is 1:30 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. It sure is nice to be in Hawaii with the time difference. My advisory (final) class ends at 2:05 p.m., so I’ll be checking the draft website to see if the 7 drafters (league opponents) have already made their picks.

According to the Antsports.com Average Draft Position calculator, the projected first 12 picks include 11 runningbacks and one quarterback. Are wide receivers that DEVALUED that they don’t earn picks in the 1st round? You make that decision.

Here are 2006 total fantasy point totals in PPR (point per reception) leagues, in order from what they are being drafted currently:


Behind the numbers:

*Can you see any of these players below, with their total fantasy points, be justified in being picked in the 1st round? Maybe…
