WHIR: keep Cedric Bensen or Pierre Thomas

Postby Kirby » Thu Jul 29, 2010 2:42 pm

I lose the round either player was drafted in last year

Cedric Benson would cost me an 8th round pick
Peirre Thomas would cost a 4th round pick

I also have Andre Johnson, but at a second round pick when I draft at the 10,11 turn, I think I can get better Value.

My other 2 keepers are:
Desean Jackson (7th Round)
Jamal Charles (undrafted, 16th round)

Other potential options are:
Ochocinco (5th)
Roddy white (4th)
Vernon Davis (undrafted)

There will likely be 5 picks ahead of me in the 1st round, 4 teams keeping a 1st rounder.
I get picks 10 and 11
Its a PPR league

I won this league last year and would like to do so again

thx for the input on mine.
i have thomas and benson rated pretty close, so looking at a value standpoint, you'd have to go w/ ced and giving up an 8th rd pick, even in a ppr.
but...
did you say you could give up a 2.10 pick for aj? if that's the case, you WILL NOT find better value than that.

good luck!

Benson is the better value between those 2.Huge difference between a 4th round and an 8th round after 30 keepers are taken out. I agree that AJ at 2.1 is not the best value, but have you considered trading down in the 2nd round and then keeping AJ? Possibly swap 2nds, 3rds, and 5ths or something like that, then you could keep AJ, and have an early 3rd and 5th round pick. or better yet, move up in the 1st and down in the 2nd. Even then though, its not as good of value as DJax, JC, or Benson, so you'd have to trade one of them as well.

This is an easy one. Benson without a doubt. He will be the bell cow for that team. PT will lose goal line carries to Hamilton.

Can you only keep one undrafted guy? Cause if you can keep more than one i sure as hell wouldnt let Vern Davis get back into the pool. Sorry i dont play in any leagues like that so i dont know.

I'd definitely go Benson between the 2, but I would seriously entertain the idea of Roddy White for a 4th. He is going in PPR formats around the 12-18th pick. Also for the value, VD is also a very good option. Pierre for a 4th rounder shouldn't even be in the conversation

Close call fantasy value wise but the pick discrepancy makes it easy, go CBensen, no question.
Good luck, mine:

thanks for the help on mine!
I have to agree wth Cmather- Benson, but consider White as well. The dropoff is much steeper with WRs than with RBs, and the chance to have two of the best (you HAVE to keep AJ) at the position must be considered. Having said that,keeping Benson has an equally strong argument since he is one of a very few backs left who is on the field for nearly every play.
The key to a winning season is focusing on one opponent at a time. Winning one week at a time. Never look back and never look ahead.
