If you really want good responses I'd strongly recommend giving as much information about your league as possible...especially things that are very non-standard such as a 2 QB league. What are your other starting requirements? That kind of thing always can come into play with this many keepers and deciding between different positions.

Even in a 2 QB league, Ryan isn't more valuable then either White or Lynch. That is, unless your league has some crazy scoring settings.
I'll disagree... In a keeper league that you must start 2 QB they actually surpass the value of the RB. There are 32 starting QB's in the league and technically 32 starting RB's as well but the fact is that with the RBBC you get additional RB's that have value. You do not get that without injury for QB's.
To have Brees and quite possibley the best kid QB to come along in awhile... you keep them. I would keep Brees and Ryan easily along with Lynch and Barber. I would actually try and package 2 out of the 3 from Lycnh, Barber and White and get yourslf an upgrade at RB or WR. I don't have much faith in Lynch or Barber this year but would still keep them over White in a non ppr league.

I agree...2 QB leagues give enormous value to QBs and you have quite the advantage to have 2 very good ones to start things off with. I'd also keep the 2 QBs and 2 RBs and take care of your two most important positions right off the bat.
I guess it boils down to me not trusting that Ryan is ever going to be an elite QB. In the near future, I don't see Ryan getting enough chances to throw the ball in Atlanta's run-happy offense.
I could be wrong (and have been many times), but I'd much rather keep White who has already shown that he can be a top 10 fantasy WR with potential to join the "elite" tier and Lynch who is one of the more talented RBs (albeit he does need to clean up his off the field problems).
With Brees as your #1, I feel that you can toss Ryan back and pick up somebody like Hasselbeck and still have the advantage at QB most weeks.

I think you're going to be hard pressed to really make a compelling argument that Ryan won't be an elite QB based on a VERY successful rookie season where they were just easing him into that role by being a run heavy team. They will no doubt open it up more next season and put the ball in his hands more and the addition of Tony Gonzalez gives him just yet another weapon to add to his arsenal. The Falcons were run happy last season...they won't be able to work Turner like that again and have him hold up under that workload so don't expect them to run the ball 560 times again. There were only 7 teams that even ran over 500 last season and just 4 the season before so it's not something that happens often and only 1 of those teams did it in consecutive years (Tennessee).
