Keeper Issues

Postby Wolfpac11680 » Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:04 am

I'm in a standard scoring, 10 man league, 6 pts for all TDs, 1 point per 10 yrds rushing, etc.

We can keep any 2 players on our roster with no penalties. I have 4 players that are "options" to keep but I dont feel at this point that any of them are real solid keepers to build a team around. Who would be the 2 you would recommend keeping:

Marion Barber III
Anquan Boldin
Clinton Portis
Reggie Wayne

Thanks, and leave a link

I think any of those 4 would be good keepers. youve got 2 good Rbs and 2 good WRs, so it comes down to your draft position and what will be available in the draft at those spots. Rbs are always a premium, but this year's WRs are very thin too.

First, look for trades. See if any team has 1 elite keeper and then crap. Offer him any 2 for that one elite player.

If you can't do that, guessing in a 10 teamer it will be tough, I would keep Portis and MB3 with Wayne a pretty close 3rd. MB3 I just don't know what to think of him this year. Felix is very, very good and could eat up alot of yardage and touches.

In a non PPR league I hve Wayne ranked as the WR4 and Boldin at WR10. Boldin has never cracked the top 5 in WR scoring and has been 19th twice in the last 3 years. Warner throwing to him concenrs me as well as 1 good hit and the "old man" may be done.

Wayne is now THE WR1 and I expect him to perform as such. Boldin would be out of the running for me from the 4 you mentioned.

I'd keep Wayne and Barber. Felix jones being back will actually help Marion, keeping him fresher the way it was with Julius Jones, and Barber will get more TDs with T.O. gone.
The key to a winning season is focusing on one opponent at a time. Winning one week at a time. Never look back and never look ahead.

Boldin isn't keeper material in this situation. I would keep Portis and Wayne as the safe picks, if a trade doesn't work out for you. You will probably be able to get some pretty good value for Barber, maybe try to get a very early draft pick for him? I think you'd be good enough with Portis, Wayne and an extra 2nd round pick.
