    I joined a big money PPR league and have never done a PPR draft before. I'm assuming the top 3 RBs will come off the board so I'm thinking Megatron over Rodgers at #4. Any opinions?? Thanks.

    if u think u'll be fine with a late rd QB or not one of the top 5-10 QB's then u have to go Megatron or grab a QB with ur Rd 2 or 3 pick, he had 96 catches last yr and should get that if not more.. wes welker had 122 rec's last yr but with the addition of Lloyd that should go down slightly..  

    Good Luck with the season   

    if it was me i would probably go Megatron, wait and see what happens first 3 picks, u might get somebody that takes someone else besides a RB and then u land Mccoy, Foster or Rice

    And don't assume, because I'm assuming that Rodgers will be off the board before your pick.  He was taken #1 in my PPR league last year.

    The league is 1pt per reception and TD passes are 4 points each...otherwise standard scoring.

    Ending up taking Megatron 1st round (all 3 RBs went 1-2-3) Sproles 2nd round, Wes Welker 3rd round and Matt Ryan 4th round

    Team looks like this...

    QB = Matt Ryan
    RB = Sproles
    RB = Ridley (NE Pats)
    WR = Calvin Johnson
    WR = Wes Welker
    WR = DeSean Jackson
    TE = Vernon Davis
    K = Cowboys Kicker
    DEF = Pittsburgh Steelers

    I think my team looks pretty stout. Only question mark is Riskey for New England but I grabbed 4 RBs on my bench just in case.

    Love my WRs and Sproles in PPR. 

    What do you guys think???

    Your RB's are terrible. The Saints have a crowded backfield (Ingram, Sproles, Thomas,Ivory) Although Sproles had a great year last year I doubt you will get a repeat of those numbers this year. Ridley is unproven and the Pats would rather throw into the endzone than run, even in the red zone. The rest of your team looks good, but you need to improve your RB's

    Wow....Sproles 2nd round???? I didn't read that before....that's way too early for him IMO. There had to have been a better quality RB at that time......I got Sproles in the 5th round and have him in my flex spot for now. Can't really go wrong in PPR though.....
