Points-Per-Reception Industry Draft
I just wrapped up a fantasy football draft for Krause Publications on CBS Sportsline. The league, which will be played out, awards one point per reception and six points per passing touchdown. It was a 16-round draft with 12 participants. I drafted eighth overall. Here's how my team turned out:
QB Jay Cutler (8.5)
RB Steven Jackson (1.8)
RB Marion Barber (2.5)
WR Dwayne Bowe (3.8)
WR Eddie Royal (4.5)
WR Lee Evans (6.5)
TE Jeremy Shockey (10.5)
FLX Joseph Addai (5.8)
K Ryan Longwell (15.8)
DEF Giants (13.8)
BN Ray Rice (7.8)
BN Carson Palmer (9.8)
BN Kevin Curtis (11.8)
BN Josh Morgan (12.5)
BN Mike Walker (14.5)
BN Tashard Choice (16.5)
Here are some notables that weren't drafted:
1. Broncos TE Tony Scheffler
2. 49ers QB Shaun Hill
3. Steelers TE Heath Miller
4. Ravens DEF
5. Dolphins QB Chad Pennington
6. Seahawks WR Deion Branch
7. Rams QB Marc Bulger
8. Titans TE Bo Scaife
9. Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell
10. Packers RB Brandon Jackson
Comments
I'm going to save you for waiting to take a WR. I have to say I'm surprised you waited until the 3rd to grab a WR. I like the Morgan and Walker stashes. Choice will be a monster come playoff time.

I like the Lee Evans pick. His best years by far were those opposite a legitimate wide receiver.

It's simply stunning to me that S-Jax fell to 1.08. He is, IMO, an absolute STEAL there.

I think your backup QB will outperform your starter, and your Flex RB will outperform your #2 RB.

I really only feel like the Scheffler and Ravens Def not getting drafted are the only real surprises. I understand most of the rest not getting drafted, with the exception being maybe Scaife.
