I’d still look into Portis. Sure the shoulder is banged up, but he’s a workhorse and has huge fantasy potential. Missing 1 game isn’t that big of a deal.

If you don’t want Portis, I would grab Steven Jackson. The run is coming back to St. Louis, and the fact he can catch doesn’t hurt either. I think Jackson will be Faulk-like circa 2000.

i would go with either tom brady, corey dillon, ben watson, or deon branch.

if all of those guys are gone, i’d probably go peyton or tiki.

thankfully I am not in this situation, b/c i still have LT (yea Keeper leagues!)

Steven Jackson will def be good, but will the Rams new off. style help or hurt him?

I would say the average league is 12 teams and with the 9th pick you can get one of these
(Lt, Shaun A, Larry, Tiki, Portis, Jordan, Rudi J, Cadilac, Ronnie Brown)
all pretty good choices. then since the draft snakes back o you, you can get
(Dunn, Westbrook, Benson, T Jones, Edge, Gore, j. Jones, Foster, Mike Bell)

not bad at all. 9th position is pretty good b/c you get the best of the 2nd rounders and after them its a huge drop off.

I think you have to go with Tiki, Ronnie Brown or Steven Jackson.

I hear where you are coming fronm with Tiki, but the guy puts up good numbers and was still going strong at the end of the season.

A lot of it depends on how big your league is…

Consider yorself lucky. i have the 9th pick. who would you go with at 9? LaMont Jordan? Rudi Johnson? who knows.
