Which two to keep?

Postby jimbointheroom » Fri Jul 24, 2009 4:59 pm

I'm in a twelve team/two player keeper league. For me it is between my
three running backs who I will keep this year. They are: Westbrook,Slaton,
and Jacobs. I am leaning toward Slaton and Jacobs. With Ward gone to
Tampa I hope Jacobs will be even better. He and Westbrook can't stay
healthy though. Westbrook is great when healty. What do you guys think?

Is it a PPR league? I'd probably lean towards Slaton and Jacobs either way but PPR would make Westy a more viable option.

Slaton and Jacobs all the way. If PPR Slaton and Westy make a great combo this year but if you keep longer than 1 yr....S and J 100%


Good luck

Ridiculous.

Actually, mattb is exactly right on this one. ;-D

We're not a PPR league. Sorry I left that detail out. Which makes me lean
Jacobs and Slaton. Westy is better PPR production but I worry about him
"limping" into the season and nagging injuries all the way. Thanks for your
help.

Yea, non-ppr you gotta go with Slaton and Jacobs. Westy pretty much is going to miss some time...how much time is up in the air but he never plays a full season and it would be foolish to think he'd do it for the first time at age 30. A RB that has proven to be injury prone starting off a season recovering from an injury is never a great place to be...I'd easily throw Westy back.

I'm trying to deal Westy to a owner that has 1st overall "and" 3rd overall pick on Aug
30th. I was runner up champ last year so I pick 11th out of 12 in the first round.
He doesn't have great keepers so I'm hoping I can grab his 3rd overall pick
for Westy and then he'd assume my 11th overall pick. ( of course I'd retain Slaton
and Jacobs).......you like?

Yea...you probably wouldn't want Westy back in the draft anyway so getting something for him is a good idea if you can swing it.

I would keep Jacobs and Slaton in any format. I just don't see Westy staying healthy.
