WOW! More injuries and bad timing for many hopeful fantasy trophy winners. This year has been so bad to top running back draft picks! In next years draft, you might want to think twice before taking a running back after pick 5 of your draft. Of course, you must stack up on running backs if you plan on having a good season but a 1st round pick of a solid top receiver or a QB should not be out of the question. I have taken Cbssportsline's 2007 Average Draft Position List and have marked all of the players who have been hurt during this years games. This might help open your eyes for next years draft! If you can't get one of the top 4-5, you will want to "play it safe" and snag someone who will get you points all year long.
