Who Knew FFL 2008?-By Mangowranglers

Who Knew FFL 2008?

Who knew that the Number 1 running back in Fantasy Football would be Michael Turner?

Or that the consensus Number 1 pick overall, LaDanian Tomlinson, would not even crack the top 10 running backs and rank 26th overall?

Or that Matt Forte would be more valuable than Adrian Peterson during the regular season?

Or that Larry Johnson would be outperformed by just about everybody - including Ricky Williams? Or that the Number 1 and MVP of the league would be the UNDRAFTED Curt Warner? Here is a breakdown of the top players by position and where they were drafted in the M&M fantasy league:

Skizzo picked everyones pocket by picking up league MVP as an undrafted free agent in week 3 to complement the fact that he also got the leagues 4th best QB with the very last pick in our draft. Also a note of interest for the future this marks the second year in a row where QBs take 6 of the top 10 points positions and not RBS.

Editors Note-Thanks Mike for the info. It was interesting to see what we got right and what we missed.
