PPR Keeper

[bmor8811]

Bush's receptions make him valuable. All the "top 5" rankings are in non-PPR leagues, so relying on them is not valid. They can give some insight, but Turner is one of those backs that falls off in PPR formats. He had very few receptions last year.

While this is true, the 8 points per TD makes Turner just as valuable as another RB (like Bush) with 800 less yards, 8 less TDs, but 60 more receptions. I understand the logic but I wouldn't get too cute when you have Aces in the hole, like Turner and MJD. But then again that's just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth

Thanks for the digits bungle

AJ is gold in a PPR format but everyone is right in saying you can't toss a top 5 RB back into the pool. Can you trade for picks? Deal AJ for a first rounder if you can since I think you said you won't be picking until late.

[bmor8811]

Yea, get something out of him. I'm sure the 5th or 6th pick guys would die to get him for a first and something else. Just try and get the most you can out of it. Trade and shop all day

[JabbaBen]

That is my other consideration. If I can trade Turnaer and not AJ. I am going to shop both. People are reluctant to do this, since I traded Brady for a couple top picks before last year and dominated the draft with them (which is why I am picking last this year). PS it is a 12 team league.

One more wrinkle, we get a pt for 10 return yards, so RBs like Felix Jones, Sproles, and Leon Washington are all very nice plays....I know a point for 10 returns yards is a lot, but it is what it is. That's why TDs are 8 and it is PPR. Actually decently balanced.

Just FYI, I would think it is highly doubtful that Felix returns kicks this year. Any Dallas fans confirm this?

[Mathew11.]

Keep both of ur RB. Without good RB u cant win

[JabbaBen]

Can't win without good wrs either....


That said, I'll probably keep the rbs and hope to get wayne and calvin at the turn (I own Wayne too).

[Mathew11.]

Turner - 6 receptions, 1740 yards, 17 TD's

AJ - 115 receptions, 1575 yards, 8 TD's

Turner won't match last year's numbers. (376 carries will do that to you)

While AJ is unlikely to reach 115 receptions again, his TD total could increase.

It's close because of 8 points per TD, but I'd keep AJ over Turner in this format.

yup
