I'm in a 10 team league with five keepers each year, and I cant keep more than two players at each position. We have a 16 round draft and each keeper counts as a pick of one round higher than thay were drafted at the year before. I can only keep two of theese RB's Matt Forte 6th round last year, Felix Jones 9th round last year, and Pierre Thomas undrafted with means he would be my last pick in this years draft 16th.
Well I think that Forte is a given here so it is between Thomas and Jones. I think a lot of this will be changed during the draft with Thomas, if they get another rb then that could take more touches away from Thomas. In Dallas I can see it being a 3 headed monster with MBIII, Jones and Choice, with MBIII getting the majority of carries. If you can put your keepers in after the draft and NO doesn't draft a rb on the first day, then I would keep Thomas. If they do draft a rb I think it would all depend on who and where he was drafted. The only way I think that I would keep Jones over Thomas is if NO drafts a rb with there first rd pick. Good luck.
As of right now Niner is correct that THomas and Forte are your keepers. Now, as always...trade. You have 3 guuys wiht good value, you MUST keep Forte but shop Jones and Thomas and see what you can get. There must be someone that needs a RB.
In a 10 team league f jones does not warrant a starting spot, thus I don't see how you can keep him.....Thomas is a decent #2 RB, and as a 16th good Value.
Now if you factor in long term F Jones could have some value, in a R bush role of 6-10 touches on passes, and a few running the ball...he has big play ability but not a reliable starter, if you want to compete...

Exactly what he should do. See if you can upgrade another position that is weak with the strenghts you have.

Thanks for the advice, I'm pretty much leaning towards what you all said. In fact the owner of Brandon Marshall, just put him on the trade block so I might try and trade for him, but I've been trying to work a trade for roddy white with one of my extra backs since I can only keep two anyways, and I dont have any wr worth keeping
