pick 2

Postby bungle613 » Fri Mar 06, 2009 9:57 am

1/2 point PPR with 1/10 and 6 per td. I am keeping Forte but have a tough choice for the last 2 keepers.

Andre Johnson
Calvin Johnson
Reggie Bush

I finished 2nd last year and will try and package a deal together to upgrade but if I can't... who would you keep? I figure the safe route is Calvin and AJ but my gut tells me Bush is the key to winning it.

I would keep AJ and Calvin. I have always been a big fan of Bush and when healthy is a PPR stud. But, the knee injuries and Pierre Thomas have me a little worried. AJ and CJ are about as safe as you can get. They will both be studs. Bush is more of a gamble.

I do like Bush in a ppr league, but he has had several knee injuries and I don't see him being a everydown rb in the NFL and he will only be used in his current role of 3rd down / scat type back. I know that Bush was a top rb in my league last year before being injured, but alot of that was because of his punt td's. I think that with AJ and Calvin you have two of the top five wr's in the league and you can go in with potentially three of the top 20 players in fantasy, I'd take that. Keep those two and look for a rb with your first pick. Good luck.

I'm another Bush advocate, but Andre and Calvin are at a premium right now and there's just not nearly the risk involved with them as the other two. With only 3 keepers, you should be able to land a servicable RB2 in the draft to replace (or redraft) Bush.

I can only keep 3. I have looked thrugh the other rosters and there are a couple of possible deals but only one that I like. I am thinking of Calvin or Andre and Bush for MJD and either a pick or an IDP player (we have to keep 1 IDP as well) It makes my team better but imo, it makes another team alot better. HE has nothing behind MJD.

I think you try and trade Bush and one of the WR's for a top 5 Rb. This will give you 2 possible top 5 Rb's and one sure bet top 10 WR possibly top 5.

If you can't trade then I would keep the Wr's. Not a fan of Bush personally. Pierre Thomas did more with his opportunities than Bush did when healthy. I think Bush will not only never be a top RB in the NFL, but is at risk of losing carries significanty. Personally, I would try and get rid of him but his value is already taken such a hit that it might not be worth it at this point.

Since I can only keep 3 offensive and 1 IDP I cut a deal. Probably overpaid but oh well.

Dealt Bush, Andre Johnson and Housh

for

MJD and Demarcus Ware

I will now keep Forte, MJD, Calvin and Ware. I am happy.

Nice trade -- he probably got a little more out of it, but you had the players to do the deal. Now you enter next year with 2 Top 5 RB, a Top-3 WR, and one of the best IDP. ;-D
