Ok:
A lot of people would tell you that Running backs are the #1 focus...I disagree.
If you remember this league and how points were scored, you'd know that QB's and the defence are as important.
When considering a QB, one must not only see their ability, but also the tools they have to work with.
You also have to keep in mind what kind of back up QB the team has.
Most teams with a good young secondary QB will let their older QB start the year till week 5-6 and let the younger guy take over.
In this case you should own both QB's of a good offensive team.
Some teams have 2 key running backs...owning one of them as a 1-2 RB in your fantasy team is a bad idea.
Wide-recievers won't win you this competition, so under no circumstances should you choose 2 in the first four rounds, that would condemn your chances here.
If this was a live draft, it would be better... This Tight End situation is tricky as there are only a hand-full of players who will score you serious points, if you can't get them, you should push the TE option down a few notches.
The defence is key, but their rankings are the most warped i've ever seen.
They seem to base it on the running back the team holds.
I mean the Vikings defence sucks, so why are they ranked #1?
The theory that Adrian peterson will run the ball through-out the year ticking the clock allowing the defence to rest, thuis having less points scored against.
The Chargers defence is of greater value... yes Tomlinson fills that theory, but the units in the defence are also key as San Diego can stop the pass where the Vikings are incapable.
When picking a defence, one must also consider the schedule of the team involved. A team's schedule is primarily against the teams in their division.
Kickers. this position should be pushed to the second last slot, or third last at best.

Strategies:
1)QB
2)RB
3)WR
4)RB
5)TE
6)WR
7)QB
8)RB
9)WR
10)Def
That would be for the average Joe.
1)RB
2)QB
3)WR
4)RB
5)TE
6)WR
7)WR
8)RB
9)Def
10)QB
That would be more common, depending on who you wanna get.
If you have your goal set on someone thats listed low, you can lower that stat a few notches.
Young talent is key .... look at the NFL draft results over the past 2-3 years to see who's up and coming, also consider who the exalted one is.
Players..... grrr, I really don't want to get into this because I'll be giving away the guys i'm after, and I would end up not picking them up... there may be no money involved, but I am competitive, and I would want to win this thing.
My guys are so far down that the only way I won't get them is if I start mentioning names here.
Lets do it this way ...if you wanna know about a hand-full of guys, ask me, and i'll give you my opinion of them and their position in the pre-draft rankings.
