10 team league, no PPR, can keep up to 3 with "compensatory" picks if you don't keep 3 (like the draft starts at round 4, but if you keep 2, you start drafting at Round 3)
Last year my great strategy was to only keep LJ and target stud WRs and younger RBs. It is embarrassing to say in a mist of ADP lust I cut loose AJ, Brees, Turner and DeAngelo in order to draft DMAC and Moss.
There are 4 other teams who might only keep 2. I don't see anyone else who will legit only keep 1. The two big prizes in these early picks are one owner has LT, DeAng, Forte, and SJAX and is dropping 2 of them.
I have 9th pick in the compensatory rounds. So if I want one of the two, I should only keep 1.
But over the past week or so, I'm like "I gotta keep Moss right". So do I? If he goes right back to being a top 3 WR in nonPPR, then I gotta keep him. But it means the guy I get at 3.9 is probably not that much better than the guys I have. And knowing my history I'd probably go Wells or Moreno there just to gamble.
There's also a small part of me that's thinking I'll regret letting go of DMAC just as much as letting go of Turner and that he's just as likely to hit as Wells or Moreno. My plan was to grab Turner back in the first noncompensatory round last year, but he went the pick before me and I lost in the finals to the person who drafted him. Bugger.

I think it's pretty obvious he's referring to Randy Moss, Steve Smith, and Chris Johnson...
That being said...I think you keep only 1 guy and my reasoning for that is simple...I think either of the guys that will be available from the list of Forte, DWill, LT, and SJax are better than any of your current keepers. Basically you can think of that as your "first round" pick in this sense and decide which guy, if you had the chance, you would choose between Chris Johnson and Randy Moss should you have a pick in the second round and they were both available. Since you can start 2-3 WRs and only 1-2 RBs, I'd probably lean towards keeping Randy Moss and getting a stud at that position and just worry about addressing the other RB spots in the draft.
I take a different approach in keeper leagues. Moss is 32 and Smith is 30. LT (29) showed last year that he is slowing down. I would go with youth and that means you would have to get one of the three DeAng, Forte, and SJAX and he is keeping two of the 4 and I think he will drop LT, I would. I think you said you would pick 1st if you only keep one as you do not see anyone else keeping. This is a gamble and you lost last year. I guess you would have to guarantee that you will get one of the 3 players left (DeAng, Forte, and SJAX). If you can't guarantee that I would keep the players you have.
You also have the option of keeping two of the RB and Moss as you can start 3 WR. That will give you two young RB and Moss. That is not a bad start to putting a team together. But again Moss is getting up their in age and injuries are more common.
This is a tough call. I would be very interested to see how this turns out.

In a league set up like this one with so few keepers...youth tends to matter very little and you're better off planning for the year immediately following the off season you're in if you want to stay competitive. It's not difficult to find a "replacement" keeper with the settings in this league for a guy like Moss if he falls off at all so there is virtually zero risk as far as that's concerned.

We all have our own methods of putting together a team and I think he is looking at this season with either of my methods. He has 3 very talented RBs and Moss and he can decide to take all 3 RBs or 2 of them and Moss. If it was me I think I would take the risk of Moss and go with my 2nd option because of having to start 2 WRs.
Keeping CJ and Moss would probably be my choice, CJ is ready to explode and I don't suggest you miss out, even in no ppr leagues...That's a nice core, and I also think Moss is going to go back to having a very dominant season.

I agree, CJ and Moss would also be my choices. Moss should be a monster again with Brady back healthy. I also think that Cj is going to have a huge year.
