11th out of 15

In my fantasy draft. Snake draft, no keepers.

What the eff should I do? Credible advice will be entered into a drawing for $5 of expired McDonalds gift certificates.

11 out of 15. I'm assuming its the normal 1 QB, 2RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 Defense?

I have been robbed in several prior drafts and have gotten that low of a pick and I have tried two different ways of drafting. One year I went with two WR first (Moss and Owens) and finished last in the league since I didn't have any RB. You have to grabbed two RB no matter if they are below average and then grab Tony G as TE. Don't be tempted to go with a RB and then a WR in the first and second round. By the time the picks come back to you all RBs will probably be gone. Don't worry about taking a Bell or Jordan type running back that early, since it will pay off in the long run. Then try to grab Kerry Collins in the 4th round. Then pick up some WRs to round out your team. Even in the 5th round, you should have some decent choices.

Once again, use the first two picks on RBs. I can't stress this enough. Nothing sucks more than having Marshal Faulk be your second running back for the entire season, when he will get 40 total yards.

Last year I was in a similar position, drafting tenth, I took Moss in RD1, and remember having the choice of Kevan Barlow or Rudi Johnson in RD2, and settled (after mental debate) on Johnson, and somehow managed to finish 2nd in the league. In retrospect, not picking Barlow vaulted me from 14th to 2nd, as the next guy took him and was DFL.

Who the hell are decent RBs for picks 11 and 18?

All of the Jones' (Kevin, Julius, Thomas) should be available. Michael Bennett will be available definitely, but probably later on.

I disagree with always going RB-RB. If a number 1-2 WR is available, I would consider going RB-WR.

I feel RB's are deep this year, along with sleeper QB's.
