Keeper: Matthews/Cruz/Graham...ughhh

Postby eaglesrock » Mon Jun 18, 2012 7:27 pm

Hello everyone...this is a round draft keeper league. (You keep the player where they were drafted in the previous years' draft). It is an 8-team league. It is 1 PPR, 6 points for all Td's, 1 for every 10 rushing and receiving.

I have a pretty good problem here, I have Matthews for a 9th rd, Cruz for a 15th rd and Graham for a 15th rd. Considering it is a PPR league, I am strongly leaning towards Matthews, 2nd choice would be Graham, then Cruz.

So many people are saying Matthews is being overrated but in PPR leagues last year he was a top 5 back, that was with missing 2 games and Tolbert stealing goal line carries. Early reports say he is going to be a 3 down back.

Any help would be appreciated.

in a 8 teamer, I would throw back Cruz. WR is so deep this year you will still be able to load up at the position.

I agree with your assessment, 1st choice Mathews, 2nd Graham, 3rd Cruz.

i usually advocate keeping the better value, which is Graham based on ADP. However, this year i think that is way too much value for a legit #1 RB to pass on. I agree with the Matthews camp.

I would keep Mathews. If you can get a potential top 5 RB for 9th round value, you do it.
