I agree with that last statement. and I would NOT keep smith.

I don't think he'll get close to 20 TDs again this year, but you have to keep Williams, who is a mid-to-late 1st round pick in redraft leagues, no matter the scoring type.

I would keep Brown as my 2nd keeper. He is slightly undervalued in redraft leagues but he makes an okay number two RB with high upside.

I think you really have to keep the RBs since you HAVE to start 3 RBs, and can start up to 4. You are really behind the 8 ball if there is a huge run on RBs in the first round if you don't have your 2nd one yet because you kept a 2nd tier WR over a RB.

At your 1.11 pick I would take best available player, even if it's a 3rd RB, because a strong RB corps (4 deep with legit RBs) will always keep you competitive in a league with requirements to start that many players.

Good luck.

Should it be considered that Brown and Williams play the NFL's toughest schedule against the run...and Smith and white play the 7th and 10th best against the pass? I am so torn...but thanks to all for your input.

Add another vote for keeping D.Williams & R.Brown. RB's are a premium in every league, but these settings make them much more important. Honestly, I wouldn't like to play with these settings. I know there are some good backup RB's that are worth starting, but these settings guarantee that at least 4 owners HAVE to start backups. Since you can start 4 RB's...there will almost be noone left on the WW (that's any good) if one of your RB's gets hurt. This one would be very easy for me. I'd keep the 2 RB's & I might even grab another RB with your 1st pick. WR's vary a lot year to year. Plus there's 64 starting WR's compared to 32 starting RB's. I know not all the 64 #1 & #2's aren't fantasy worthy, but add the #3's that are, and simple math tells us that there will be a lot more serviceable WR's to be had later in the draft...or even on the waiver wire. Also, if you're stacked at RB you could probably trade for a very good WR during the season. With these settings, you know that because of injuries, 1 or more owners will be VERY hurting for RB's during the season . Good luck! ;-D

A change has been made to the league and the flex position is now a WR/TE....so you can start three WR and 3 RB.

Would you still keep Brown and Williams or Williams and White or both Smith and white?

Thanks again....

Not sure if it was a typo but you start 3RB and flex one? I think you start 2RB and flex one but anyway. I"m not reading the 100page post but

I keep D.Williams and Brown.

Going into the draft with a #1 and 2 RB is great. You can then draft WR/QB so much sooner.

Since you start 3 Rb's, I would keep Deangelo and R. Brown.

I would try to package R.Brown and S. Smith for an upgrade at RB. Maybe you could come away with Gore, Slaton or MB3.

I'd be more willing to not take a RB in the 1st because of the change, but I'd still keep the 2 RB's. ;-D
