Help me with my 2nd round pick, keeper league. Please!, WHIR

Postby MBison » Fri Sep 04, 2009 1:09 am

I'm in a 12 team keeper league, each team can keep 2 players. We play 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. 1 per 6 for all TDs, 1 per 40 passing, 1 per 15 rush and rec. No PPR.

I could give you the pick by pick breakdown, but essentially I have the 7th pick out of 12. My keepers are Aaron Rodgers and Steve Slaton. I am convinced to go WR in my first pick because a lot of other top RBs are kept (Turner, Forte, Chris Johnson, Jacobs). Plus, I think a lot of WRs are gonna go between the 8th pick and when I pick again in round 2. I'm targeting Moss in round 1.

So, based on this knowledge, my 2nd round pick is likely going to be RB. Here are the likely RBs to fall to me:

Clinton Portis
Marion Barber
Pierre Thomas
Ryan Grant
Kevin Smith
Brian Westbrook (if I'm really lucky).

How would you rank those in order of preference? Ryan Grant I'm a little hesitant on only cause I have Aaron Rodgers also.

The best WR left in round 2 would probably be Terrell Owens, Wes Welker, or TJ Housh. Boldin should be gone by this time, but if Boldin was there, would you pick him up instead of an RB and hope a decent RB falls into round 3? If I went TO, for instance, I'd be looking at McFadden/Rice type in round 3. Maybe Kevin Smith if I was incredibly lucky.

Help me out, this is a important league and I need some guidance. Please explain your decision making :)

If you need any more info, let me know.

I would rank them like this: (I only rank the veterans first because well they are more proven and honestly better but for durability then this list would change. If this list is purely based on 100% healthy then I would rank them this way)!

Brian Westbrook (make sure to grab McCoy)
Marion Barber (make sure to grab F.Jones)
Clinton Portis (Make sure to grab Betts)
Ryan Grant (I really like him this year)
Kevin Smith (I like him but he does play for Detroit)
Pierre thomas (already hurt and has Bush)

The question was brought up if Boldin was available and honestly I would grab Boldin if he was available. I think it is more important this year to get top notch WR's since there are plenty of good lower tiered RB's. I would still always go with the great RB first but I consider Boldin to be a top WR (when healthy) and I would rather have let's say (K.Smith and Boldin over MBIII and Cotchery) or something like that!

Good Luck!

Thanks! Would you say Boldin is the last WR you would take over any of those backs? The next WR bunch would be TO, TJ Housh, Welker area.

Thanks!

anyone else?
