What they do at QB in Minnesota is really going to be the key to how high Patterson is ranked before the Fantasy drafts.  Of course he will be pretty high either way, just because of his potential as a dual threat, and his ability to score on a long play at any time.   I picked him up early in the year, but dropped him half way through.  Did not get him back before his breakout games.

 

Austin had one unbelievable week, a couple of decent ones, and disappeared for the rest it seemed.  I wouldn't trust him as a consistent starter next year.  This year I'd take Sammy Watkins over Austin, no matter where he lands.

 

My draft plans are the same as always.  Get an elite QB early and two really good TE's.  I have won two championships in the 8 years I have played, and made the playoffs for 4 out of 8 in a very competitive league.  Won it all last year after I took Peyton in the 2nd round.  Also had the two best DST (Seattle, KC) and the best kicker (Gostkowski). 

 

In my experience, getting an elite QB is key.  At then end of last year, only 2 of the top 5 starters I drafted were on my roster (due to injuries), but Manning with my DST's and really good TE's starting every week got me the championship after picking up some Band-Aid starters at RB and WR.
