Keeper help!!

Postby adamcsvaughan » Thu Jul 26, 2012 10:49 am

I get to keep 3 of these guys, it's a ppr league

I got jamaal charles - keeper
marshawn lynch - keeper regardless of dui issues

and then it gets tricky

Kenny Britt - potential beast/drunk/suspended/bum knee
Peyton Manning - potential to go numb from the neck down after the first hit, but could be good
BJGE - might be solid in bengals uni

I have no idea what to do, I liked Kenny Britt before he had multiple knee surgeries and dui, I like peyton but i think i could draft better?

Thanks in advance!

Ouch, I probably just keep Peyton. In a 3 keeper league there will be guys in Britt's tier and you won't have to worry about him getting suspended 8 games or being questionable on the injury report every week.

Do you have to keep 3? If you only keep 2, would you get a draft selection ahead of those teams that keep 3? If so only keep 2. Otherwise, your 3rd keeper is going to be suspect at best

I would go with Peyton Manning. If you can wait longer I would so you can see what happens to Britt.

If you HAVE to pick 3 then I guess roll with Peyton. Tough spot to be in

This is a tough spot, but I am going with a different angle: if you can start all 3, then I'm going Green-Ellis. You walk into your draft with the RB position sewn up, and you still get to draft best player on the board. You still have a shot at the mid-level QBs in the draft who will not be kept, and there is plenty of WR depth this season to be confident in building that position from scratch.

Marvin Lewis allows his lead backs to be lead backs, and Green-Ellis has a similar skill set to Benson.

As much as I'm not a fan of the law firm I tend to agree with dagnuk's logic here. Stutter step Benson was below average yet was able to put up decent production in Cincinnati. I think you roll with BJGE.

I would risk it with Peyton.
I drink because of the 1998 NFC championship game.
