With McCaffrey, Woodhead, and Burkhead, this looks like the first time in years that there will be enough White running backs with enough touches to make an all-White fantasy team viable.
As a social experiment, and to help promote our cause:
Since the 2010-2011 season, I have been fielding my fantasy football teams with White players only.
In 2011, I made it to the championship game thanks to huge years from Welker, Nelson, Gronkowski, Rodgers and solid performances from Decker and Witten. It was enough to carry the load due to the disappointing year from Hillis (injury) and Woodhead (limited opportunities) after both running backs broke out in 2010.
I do participate in more than just one league (2-3 cap), but in at least in one league (unfortunately not a money league), I have been able to clinch a playoff spot every year for the past 7 seasons.
I normally take full advantage of the flex league option, as I normally draft two elite White TEs and start them every week.
When I first took this approach, I had folks in the league call me racist (even though if you filled an all black team, nobody would say anything), I had folks that doubted me and say it was never going to work, but 7 years later of continued success, I have proven the naysayers wrong which for the most part, are some of my best and closes friends.
Now with that being said, I have noticed I've grown a trend down here in South, Fl. I have acquaintances that know me as the "ESPN" for White athletes, and whenever a White athlete excels or someone needs some background info, they come to ask me like if I'm some White athlete sports guru (LOL). I really have no one else to thank but my Caste Football brothers on this site for the contribution you gentlemen do on a daily basis. I have even referred folks to this site as well.
As we head into the 2017-2018 season, in at least 2/3 leagues that I participate in, it has become difficult to draft White studs like a Nelson, McCaffrey, Gronk, Kelce, Edelman (before injury), Olsen, etc. In fact, in 2/3 leagues, Nelson and Gronk were taken in the first round, followed up by Edelman (before injury), McCaffrey, Kelce, Olsen in the second, followed up by Hogan, Woodhead, and Decker in the 4ths and 5ths. In this league, I was only able to draft Adam Thielen and Cooper Kupp as my two starting WRs, and guys like Humphries and Trent Taylor as backups since others in the league had already taken Beasley and Amendola.
Attached you may find an image of the team I drafted this past weekend. I really feel good about this team, and if it remains an injury free season, I believe this may be the team that takes me to the promise land again.....And yes, this one is a money league!
