The majority of 2007 fantasy football drafts will see LaDainian Tomlinson going at #1, then Steven Jackson or Larry Johnson going at #2. Jackson should be your selection if you get the #2 overall pick for a variety of reasons.
Jackson should be the #2 pick due to not only his stats last year, but the probability that he hasn't reached his peak in a high powered offense. He's only 23 and blew up in the last 6 games last year - perfect timing for a fantasy football playoff run. With the way things are in the NFC, the Rams could very well be around .500 and playing for a playoff spot in weeks 16 and 17 (fantasy football championship weeks), so Jackson should be out there getting the stats you need. Because of this, you may actually be better off having Jackson than LT if you make the playoffs in your fantasy football league and the Chargers clinch their playoff seed a couple of weeks before the NFL playoffs start. This, of course, is assuming both teams play like they did last year. So many players are picked based purely on their stats, but you want to have players on teams that have something to play for in the last few weeks of the NFL regular season to win a fantasy football championship.
Add Larry Johnson's lengthy holdout, depleted O-line, and the history of running backs getting hurt the season after they carry the ball over 400 times to the mix and the #2 overall fantasy football pick should be Steven Jackson.
