Got my keepers but who to draft?

Postby ridessquaw155 » Thu Jun 04, 2009 1:11 pm

We can Keep 2. So Im probably keeping Peyton and C.Portis , my other options would be bush, roddy whie or willie parker.
Im guaranteed to get a top 4 draft pick
Potential Picks could be:
Calvin Johnson
Steve Smith
Reggie Wayne
J. Addai
Ronnie Brown
Thomas Jones
or
Brees will be available.
Would it be smart just to take Brees, even though i'll have Peyton, because hes such a good value then try to trade one of them? Or is it not worth the risk? Or should i keep someone else?
Thanks

I simply don't draft QB's early so keep that in mind.

I would keep Portis and White. I would then draft in order

Calvin
Brown
Wayne
Smith
Brees
Peyton

OK a few things....

Especially since Brees will be available, I would not keep Manning. I would keep Portis and Roddy White.

I would rate your draftable players:

Calvin Johnson
Ronnie Brown
Reggie Wayne
Steve Smith
Brees
Bush
Manning

Jones

My order of preference may change if your league is a PPR league, but that's pretty close regardless.

Are Brown and Jones really the best available RBs with everyone only keeping two?

It's not a PPR league
QB, RB, 2WR, RB/WR, TE, K, DEF
Normal Scoring 1pt per 10 rec/rush yrds, 1pt per 20 pass yrds, 6pts per td ect....

Is Roddy White worth keeping with so many good WR still available?

It's probably more about Peyton Manning not being worth keeping in a 2 keeper league. I think Roddy White has top 5 potential this season if he keeps playing like he has...there's now a legitimate threat that opposing defenses have to account for in the passing game other than himself with Gonzalez on board and Matt Ryan is a great young QB who likes to throw it White's direction. White was the #7 targeted WR last season and I think he has the potential to be a great fantasy WR this year.

Far better to keep him than Peyton here I think.

Personally, I keep White and Portis at your RB1 and WR1. Then I would take Calvin Johnson or Steve Smith next... if both are gone then take Brees at 4. Try and go after your RBs or WRs but even if Brees is taken then you'd still have Peyton available to you at 4, so it's a win-win for you. If you don't keep Peyton you'll either get him back at 4 or get a better option, in my opinion, with Smith, Megatron, or Brees.

I would keep Portis and Roddy. It is alot harder to find #1 Rb's and WR's than it is QB's. I think there are a number of QB's who could throw 25-30 TD's this year. (Romo, Rodgers, Rivers, McNabb, Brees, Brady, Manning). So, I would look to get a QB in the draft.
