League just changed into a keeper league... Need Help!

Postby Tireur » Fri May 08, 2009 11:29 pm

So we just changed into a 1 keeper league, and we're starting with picking one person from our previous year's ending roster. Here's mine...

I personally think I should pick Matt Forte, but what do you guys think?


Texans TQB

Maurice Jones-Drew

Matt Forte

Steven Jackson

Reggie Wayne

Dwayne Bowe

Owen Daniels

Browns D/ST

David Akers

Jamal Lewis

Santonio Holmes

Fred Taylor

Laveranues Coles

Jaguars TQB

Donnie Avery

Torry Holt

Kevin Jones

I have Forte slightly, just slightly ahead of MJD. IF you don't have to declare anytime soon then great for you as you can see how Jax will use their new feature back and how Chicago will ease Forte's workload. To fairly big questions.

I'm in agreement with Bungle. I have Forte as the number 2 back just slightly above MJD. I would keep him.

Well Forte proved in his rookie year that he can carry the load all alone, MJD has yet to do that. I like them both, but Forte should also be helped by the addition of that qb that got this offseason, think he may help also. Good luck.

Actually I like MJD over Forte. I worry that there could be a sophomore jinx with Forte and more passing with Cutler coming in.

Conversely, with Frad Taylor leaving the Jags, the RB duties are all MJDs. He should put up some monster numbers.

Not that I dislike Forte. If it were a 2-keeper league he'd definately be your next keeper.

But if it has to be one, I'd go with MJD.

I would go with MJD over Forte... but you are really splitting hairs as I have them both as top-4 RBs, so you can't go wrong with either one... I would be shocked if the 1.1 pick is not whomever you don't keep between the 2.

Exactly...the acquisition of Cutler HELPS Forte, doesn't hurt him. They don't have enough weapons in the passing game to pass a ton more than they do already but Cutler is good enough to make the passing game a threat to the point that teams can't load up on the run all the time like they have been able to in the past.

MJD still has to prove he can be a 300+ carry guy, or even 300+ touch guy for that matter, before I would rank him above someone who already has proven he can bear the load that the team is going to place on him.
