Name 9

Postby buckysGT » Tue Apr 07, 2009 5:20 pm

Our cut down deadline is fast appoaching. Not sure who I should be looking at to keep.
This is a 12 team league. 6 pts all TD's, 1 pt 10 yards rush/rec., 1 pt 20 yards passing, PPR. Our starting lineup looks like: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, RB/WR, WR/TE, K, DEF.

Here is my team.
QB- Cassel, E. Manning, Roethlisberger
RB- Addai, W. Parker, L. Washington, Mendenhall, D. Rhodes, M. Moore, R. Williams
WR- Evans, White,Welker, Breaston, Walter
K- Elam
DEF- Cowboys

Which 9 players do I keep?

Manning, Big Ben
Addai,Parker,Mendenhall,R.Williams
Evans,R.White,K.Walter

Your RB's are week and need to be addressed in the draft. I'd keep Williams only because you need depth at RB.
Your WR's are OK, White had a great year and with TO in Buffalo Evans' numbers should improve. I like Walter with defenders looking to double team AJ ,Walter gets alot of looks.

I think Big Ben will put up nice numbers this year like he did two years ago if the Steelers improve the O-Line. I think Cassell was a product of a good NE scheme and would wager that in KC he will be average at best.

Not keeping Welker would be insane. Breaston will have a nice year and is worth keeping. With those 4 WR you won't need to worry about WRs or QBs in the draft. Focus on RBs and acquiring a top TE for balance, if any are questionably thrown back. Cassel at best in KC, well he has weapons in KC as well (Bowe, Bradley, Gonzalez). DO not be so quick to say he'll be average at best. Big Ben should rebound some. Both would be IMO better reward QBs than Eli who is simply a fallback option on draft day.

QB- Cassel, Big Ben
RB- Addai, W. Parker, Mendenhall

This is more along the lines of what i was thinking. I know not keep Welker would be insane, especially in a PPR format. My one question mark is L. Washington. I like him in this type of scoring system.

I would keep Walter over Cassel simply because I think Cassel/Manning/etc. will all be available and should all be even. I would rather provide myself the luxury of a legit WR4. I chose Walter over Breaston because on top of Haley leaving, all signs point to Warner retiring this year or next and Boldin receiving a longterm deal. That being the case, Breaston's value is nearly as sexy as last season's performance (which was worse than Walter).
