Fantasy News
First big surprise in the Fanex Draft (at least in my opinion). LenDale White goes with pick 2.05 (the pick that I traded to Jim Butler to get Steven Jackson).
White ran for 1,110 yards last year, but he doesn't catch many passes, which hurts him in this format. Plus he's a fat guy.
We're 17 picks in, and only two non-tailbacks have been selected: Randy Moss and Tom Brady. Had I drawn any of the last four picks in the first round, I might have ended up with both of those guys. (Moss would have been my pick at 1.08 if I hadn't traded it away to get Steven Jackson).
