Yeah, there's that 350+ carry thing too. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img]

In reading more on Turner, he had 376 carries last year.
According to ESPN the Magazine, 27 players in the past have done this and they average 40% less fantasy points the following year. Only once has a player see their point total rise the following year.

Yeah, that scares the crap out of me.

I love your WR. and I think Donald Brown is going to be excellent in Indy after about week 5 or 6. I just think he is much better than Addai. I don't want a top 5 pick because I'd be like you and not know who the hell to pick up. I think I'd much prefer picking late in the 1st round.

I decided to go heavy on WR early on since the position seems so thin this year. I kinda wish I had gone for a QB earlier instead of grabbing White, since passing TD's are 6pts in this league, but Schaub has a lot of weapons around him, and I think he'll turn in a pretty good year. It got pretty thin towards the end, but I was still able to grab Brown and Crayton in the last couple of rounds.

I should also mention that Rotodestroyer heads up this league. He had the 5th overall pick, and was taking his time trying to decide between DeAngelo Williams and Drew Brees. Apparently, he didn't set his queue. He claims he double clicked on Brees at the last second, but double clicking does you no good on Yahoo... you have to click the draft button. He autopicked Brian Westbrook. A temper tantrum ensued... absolute hilarity.
