I am in a ten team standard yahoo non-ppr league. First year that it is going to be a keeper league. We will be able to keep three players. Which of the following would you keep?
QB: Rivers, Favre RBs: Addai, Moreno, J. Charles, L. McCoy WRs: A. Johnson, Fitzgerald, Sims-Walker, Meachem, Antonio Bryant TE: Visanthe Shiancoe, Fred Davis K: Rob Bironas DEF: Arizona IDP: DJ Williams
I am leaning toward A. Johnson and Rivers for two definited keepers, but the 3rd spot is up in the air. Any advice is greatly appreciated and I will return the favor just leave your post.
Andre and Fitz are locks in my book. After that it gets a little tough. I mean do you keep Rivers and draft like 3 RBs in the first three rounds of next years draft or do you get a RB frozen. If Westbrook retires and McCoy gets the full time gig that makes him look pretty promising. Charles has blown up since taking over and does not look to be going anywhere, and Moreno is the same as the other two. The hard part about keeping a RB is trying to pick the right one. I would say if things dont get clearer, like pre season if those guys are all projected to do about the same then i would go Rivers. If someone seperates from the rest then i would go with a RB.
The thing about not getting a RB frozen in a 3 keeper league is when you get to where you are going to be drafting your starting RBs it will be in the fourth round basically. Not saying you cant find some gems there, its just hard to find two.

Dynasty Team- QB,2RB,2WR,TE,K,Def QB - P Rivers J Cuter M Cassel RB - D McFadden J Best S Green D Thomas D Murray J Ringer WR - C Johnson L Fitzgerald S Holmes E Sanders D Thomas TE - F Davis O Daniels K - M Bryant R Lindell D - Chargers 49ers
Rivers is on the precipice of being an elite QB... but in a 10-team league and only 3 keepers, I think you can draft a replacement for Rivers and not take as much of a hit.
Other QBs that I consider either "elite" or a half-step down from elite: Brees Peyton Rodgers Schaub Brady
Including your guy, that's 6 QBs. And I'm still not including guys like McNabb, Big Ben, etc. The QBs will be there.
By keeping who I suggest, you get arguably the 2 best WRs in the game, as well as the best rookie RB from this year. That's a great base to build your squad next year.
