Fotop Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) As we all know, the "big 3" in fantasy football is L. Johnson, S.Alexander, and L.Tomlinson. My question is how do you rank them and why? For me, I think it goes a little something like this: 1) L. Johnson 2) L. Tomlinson 3) S. Alexander However, I'm not really sure...this is pretty much based on the fact that I don't really like Alexander and would much rather root for johnson or tomlinson. I have 2nd pick in my big money league this year, so I'm curious as to everyone's opinion on this. Publications and "experts" are saying Johnson, Alexander, Tomlinson with some even stretching Alexander to #1. Ultimately this discussion is moot if the person w/ #1 in my draft takes Peyton Manning. *Edit: The topic title is not implying I'm playing for that much money, that'd be insane. More a reference to the old pyramid game show. Just thought I'd clarify that for the young whipper snappers out there.

More a reference to the old pyramid game show. Just thought I'd clarify that for the young whipper snappers out there. I have had LT the last two years and he has failed me in the playoffs both years in a row. I will never touch him again. He will also be playing with a rookie QB. No thank you. He may win the regular season for you, but he will be so worn down and worthless to you come playoff time. Isn't that what it is all about? LJ has many many questions. First he goes from a very good system for RBs that has made superstars out of Marshall Faulk, Priest Holmes, and LJ himself to an unknown system. Dick Vermiel retired and Al Saunders, the KC OC, left for Washington. THat is one negative. Another is that he has lost Willie Roaf to retirement and 2 other linemen are injured. That is not good. The third strike against him, in my opinion, is that Tony Richardson, his great blocking fullback, left and signed with Minnesota. There are just way too many questions surrounding him to take him #1. Shaun Alexander had the least turnover on his team and offense. He is very consistent and has averaged 1670 rushing yards with a 4.78 yard per carry average and 19 TDs per year. Over the last 5 years he has averaged 17 TDs per year. There is no doubt I take this guy #1 overall. All of that plus Alexander has the easiest schedule of the 3. LT has the hardest schedule to run against in the playoffs. There is no way I take anyone else but Alexander #1. It is a no brainer. My rankings are: Shaun Alexander Larry Johnson LaDanian Tomlinson Trust me Edited August 30, 2006 by southsideirish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the 2nd pick in both my $ leagues and was lucky enough to get LT both times. Needless to say I am 11-0 in one league and 9-2 in the other and am in first place in both. Thank you LT!
