Who should I take? WHIR

Postby Chrgrs17 » Sat Aug 29, 2009 7:03 pm

I'm in a 12 team keeper league. Each owner is aloowed to keep up to 3 players on their rostert that they drafted after the third round. If you keep a player you must take him 2 rounds earlier then originally drafted. You can only keep a guy up to 3 seasons.

My keepers:
Greg Jennings 5th round
Steve Slaton 11th round
Eddie Royal 12th round

I have the no. 4 pick. I really didn't want to be in this position. A lot of the top RBs are keepers. Who would you guys go after?

Other notable keepers:
Matt Forte
Michael Turner
DeAngelo Williams
Calvin Johnson
Ronnie Brown
Chris Johnson
Dewayne Bowe
Aaron Rodgers

There will probably be more mediocre guys, but these are the notables. As you can see, a lot of good RBs are gone and I expect the rest to be gobbled up quickly. I'm assuming AP and MJD will go one and 2. Which guys left would you go after? I'm leaning towards either brees or Gore. If I get Brees I'm afraid the major RBs will be gone by the time I pick late in the second round. I really like Brees though. I think both are kind of a reach for the no. 4 pick, I guess I need to reach. If I go rb, then I wll be set with my starters since I have slaton, but If I get Brees I will have an explosive starting 4 in Brees, Slaton, Jennings, and Royal.

scoring system:
1 point = 20 passing yards, 10 rushing or receiving yards, 3 receptions (WR/TE only)
passing td = 4 points
non-passing td = 6 points
interceptions = -2 points
win = 1 pt.

any advice is greatly appreciated.

You should be able to grab SJax/Tomlinson/Gore (personally i prefer them in that order) with that pick by the looks of it if you think you can't hold out to take a second RB. Andre Johnson might be an interesting pick there if you want to hold out for a RB as well.

LT, Gore, SJax
If you start 3WRS - Fitz, Moss,AJ
with TDs at 4 and Yards at 1per 20- Brees, Brady, Manning, Rodgers should all be somewhat even

Oh yeah, and Rodgers is a keeper as well. I will edit that into the OP. Thanks a lot for the advice guys. I'm shocked at how fast i got some replies. By the way my league is pretty flexible with starting lineups. You must have 5 RB/WR/TEs. You must have 1-3 RBs. TEs are not a requirement. Those are the only rules. I suppose I don't need a stud 2nd RB, but it's just something I prefer. I usually go rbs in the first 2 or 3 rounds. I want a good backup in case Slaton goes down. I'm not a fan of Jackson since he is injury prone and doesn't have the good o-line that he did when he had his best seasons (mainly Orlando Pace). I believe that LT will bounce back, however I'm not sure how many reps he will get. Norv Turner has been passing the ball more and more it seems, and everybody is high on Sproles. I'm thinking they may get overcautious with LT and not use him as much as they have.
