Fantasy News

The Fanex draft is over. Finally.

240 players selected.

Two that I was really surprised weren’t picked: Johnnie Lee Higgins and Devin Thomas. I think Higgins will be Oakland’s best wide receiver. He doesn’t get credit for kick returns in this system (which is really dumb, in my opinion), but he’s still a top-45 receiver on my board. Thomas is one of those big, fast, Andre Johnson-type guys. Did nothing as a rookie, but they might get him going.

Rosters are below. We’re trying to finish up a magazine, but when I get a few minutes, I’ll examine the numbers and tell you which teams I feel will do the best.

Overview of rules: Each team drafts 20 players. Starts QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, K, D and one flex player (RB-WR-TE). 6 points for TDs, 4 for TD passes, 1 for every 20 passing yards, 1 for every 10 run/rec yards, 1 for every reception. No free agent pickups – what you draft is what you get. No starting lineups – lineups tabulated via “best ball” methods. No head-to-head games; highest total points after 17 weeks is the winner.
