Keep Gore or Rivers

[chiswede]

14 team Yahoo keeper league with the settings below.

I'm already keeping Ray Rice, and I pick 8th. Players that are already kept and off the board when my pick comes around are:

P. Manning, Brees, AP, Hillis, Calvin Johnson, Mendenhall, MJD, Forte, A. Foster, L. Fitzgerald, Rodgers, Cutler, McFadden, Brady, Vick and Roddy White. B/c of other trades, people not keeping a guy...etc, there will be 15 more players off the board by the time I pick so you can assume Jamaal Charles, Chris Johnson, Turner, McCoy, and Greene will likely be gone by the time I pick.

Personally, I'm leaning towards Rivers, b/c I don't trust Gore. But, I also feel like I have a better chance of actually getting Rivers with the 15th pick. Any opinions?

I'd probably lean rivers as well. You know you're getting a stud, and you dont have to sweat the whole season wondering when he's gonna break the other half of his hip. if you do decide on Gore, you could target matt ryan. I believe he's ready to have a phillip rivers type season.

Rivers for sure. He is a stud. All other TOP Tier QB's have been taken. I dont know why someone whould keep Cutler. You can get a good back with pick 8. You have deep league and good QB is a must. After Romo, Big Ben, Schaub, Ryan, Freeman the list drops off to another tier. This will free you up to draft Rb and WR in middle rounds when other teams are trying for Qb. You can load up and dont stress come draft day. Other teams will be hoping for a decent QB. You will be sitting pretty. Note when they draft one of the lower tier QB they will have to grab other decent qb as a b/u. Thus enabling you to grab another wr or rb. All you need is a 1 week fillin for bye weeks. You never have to switch because of match ups.

Yea, I'm the commish and when I saw him keep Cutler, I said WTF out loud.

Keep Rivers!

Rivers is the man and will continue to grow as a QB. With most of the top QBs already off the board I would hold onto Rivers for dear life. He will continue to produce big numbers. Gore will be reaching the dreaded age of "30" next year. Gore will be in a new system, with a new coach, and crappy QB play for years to come. Not to mention that he gets injured every year. Gore has bust written all over him. Gore was good, but his best days are behind him.
