who do you take with 1.1 in a keeper league?

[captainmorganjosh]

10 team, ppr keeper league. 4 keepers per team.

Due to trades, I get 5 keepers going into next season and the 1.1 pick of the draft. My following picks are 2.2, 3.9, 4.2, 5.9, and so on.

Here are my keepers: 1) Matt Forte, 2) Chris Johnson, 3) Frank Gore, 4) Larry Fitzgerald, & 5) Roddy White

Here is a list of potential players that I believe will be avaiable via the draft. Who would you take with 1.1?

Tom Brady (the guy who has Brady is keeping A. Johnson, A. Boldin, L.T., and Westbrook)
Marion Barber (the guy who has Barber is said to be keeping A. Rodgers, P. Manning, G. Jennings, and R. Bush)
Dwayne Bowe (I have Bowe but can't keep him over my other options)
Jason Witten (the guy who has Witten is keeping A. Peterson, Calvin Johnson, R. Wayne, and M. Colston)
Ryan Grant, Roy Williams, Thomas Jones (this guy is keeping D. Brees, S. Slaton, B. Jacobs, and A. Gates)
Eddie Royal (Royal was the #2 WR in our league last year because of ppr and special teams points. I have him but am scared to keep him)
Tony Gonzalez, T.J. Houshmandzadeh (this lady is keeping T. Romo, Wes Welker, M. Turner, and MJD)

Or would you take a rookie RB? I already have 3 solid RBs, but depth never hurts.

we start 2 RB, 2 WR, and 1 RB/WR flex spot.

Go with Dwayne Bowe. He has produced under the worst circumstances of all, and now he becomes even more of a target hog. He's a beast, and you ought to go for him if you're too wary of Brady.

Brady is next choice.

Well I think I would take Brady over anyone else, you already are set at rb, two top wr's, so you get a top 3 qb and you have a very tough team to beat, you can always take another wr with your 2.2 pick. Assuming that you will have everyones teams and available players before you draft, I would go through and basically do a mock draft. So, for example there are three qb's out there and only two other teams need a qb, then you may want to get the wr first and then get a qb with your 2.2 pick. Good luck.

What is your leagues scoring system?

[captainmorganjosh]

Scoring as follows:

1 pt/reception
1 pt/10 yds receiving or rushing
1 pt/25 yds passing

6 pt/TD (rushing, receiving, or passing)
-1 pt/interception

1 pt/10 yds returning kicks or punts

5 pts/100 yds rushing or receiving (rushing and receiving yards are not combined to get bonus)
5 pts/300 yds passing

[Indibuck]

I would rank your options as:

Brady


Bowe

Wells
Moreno
Grant
Williams
Witten

The opportunity to take a guy that has the potential to be the #1 QB compliments an already strong core and makes you a contender IMHO -- especially considering 6 points/TD passing.

[TruNinerFan]

I would take Brady. With 6 pts for TD's and 1 pt every 25 yards, Brady will be money for you this year. You are already keeping 3 stud Rb's and a stud WR, a stud QB is just what you need

[captainmorganjosh]

In our league, this is how the top 5 WRs finished for the year.

A. Johnson 355 pts
L. Fitzgerald 347 pts
C. Johnson 310 pts
E. Royal 310 pts
R. White 303 pts

Top 5 RBs

D. Williams 346 pts
L. Washington 321 pts
A. Peterson 321 pts
M. Turner 319 pts
M. Jones-Drew 314 pts

M. Forte finished the year with 310 pts.

Top 5 QBs

D. Brees 465 pts
K. Warner 410 pts
P. Rivers 404 pts
J. Cutler 396 pts
A. Rodgers 395 pts

Draft Marion the Barbarian. No position suffers more injuries than RB. You can never have enough backs.

As for Brady, there is little difference between most starting QB's in fantasy land.

I was leaning Brady, but 6 pt passing TD's makes it an easy choice...Your set at RB and only need a bye week WR so knowing your next pick isn't until the 2nd I'd get your stud QB now...Brady is probably the best you could hope for in return if you drafted Bowe and moved him for a QB anyway, that gives you a very solid starting lineup off the bat.
