I'm all in on Ellington this year. I like the kid a lot. in a 12 many team is 2.06 too early to grab him? Will he be available at 3.07? I really want the guy but I don't want to go all David Wilson on him and draft him way to early and get burned.
Thanks.

Not sure I would reach for him in the second but third could be good. I have the 8th pick in a 12 teamer and as of now the plan is to go WR/WR, so I am hoping he is there for me in the 3rd.

Had the 1.07 pick in 12 team draft... took him in the 3rd round.... after going WR/WR...

It just depends. Had a 16-team IDP draft (not that that matters because IDP doesn't start for a few rounds), and I had the 13 spot. Took Dez there, and Ellington went 2.1. Didn't even get a shot at him at 2.4. So it really depends. I don't personally think it's too high if you like him a lot (I do), but the injury risk with a smaller back seems more prevalent than with a beefier guy....though that may or may not be true.

well ideally Forte will slide to me at 7 and i'll get WR next and come back at 3.07 with Ellington. Otherwise I think I'm looking Megatron or Demaryius or Lacy at 7 and the same plan afterward... Fingers crossed.
Starting Defense!

It's a tough call... 2.06 is probably a bit early (not crazy though), and 3.07 could very well be too late.
Trust your gut. If you really like the guy, and you're going to be p!ssed if he gets taken I would just pull the trigger in the second.

He'll likely go mid to late 3rd round. It's a gamble to wait for him at 3.07

If you like to gamble, if you can move down about 4-5 spots, I'd do that and take Ellington before the end of the 2nd to be more sure you get him.

I grabbed him early. I like his upside

draft was snaking along nicely. I passed on him as 2.06 and took Alshon instead... was going to pounce at 3.07 and instead my dickhead friend grabbed him at 3.03. I was pissed.

So you are pissed because you chose to ignore the advice given, even after you were given it and warned of the dangers of waiting until 3.07? You must like being pissed.

yeah I was pissed he went in front of me, not like kick my dog beat my wife pissed, just regular old pissed. I didn't think the value was there at 2.06. I gambled and lost. Not the first time, won't be the last. I'll get him in my 10 man 1 keeper big money redraft.

Alshonn should soften the blow. Who'd you take in the 3rd?

Yo kiss of death. Anyone else you really like that we should stay away from.

and the winner goes to Ragin. Solid advise here.

Update today from BA- Ellington will be a game time decision but he's not concerned about him missing any "considerable time". Said he was limited in practice but looked "fine".
It's a Monday night gamble... I will start Doug Martin and bench Ellington in my other league this week
