Need advice on QB strategy 

Post#1 » by Major_9000 » Sat Aug 14, 2010 7:07 pm

I'm in a keeper league and can keep Flacco at $2 and Manning at $28. I was thinking of rolling the dice on Flacco as my #1 QB, getting rid of Manning...then spending that cash on a top WR.

If I did the Flacco strategy then my keepers (only 4) would be a combo of the following...

Flacco $2; Jones-Drew $48; Grant - $32; Celek - $1

...I also have Jennings $29; Moreno $14; Manning $28

So if I did the above I'd have enough money for at least 3 more $30 players. I am also still debating keeping Moreno over Grant but I think Grant is pretty damn solid.

The league has no special scoring rules....Thoughts?

I'm expecting big things from Flacco, but I think it depends on which Manning you have, Peyton, I think there's an argument to be made to keep him, if it's Eli, I'd keep Flacco and it's not close.

Why are you keeping Ryan Grant and Brent Celek?!?!?! Both are not keeper worthy.

Dump manning, save some $, take Flacco instead and get MJD + Jennings

Why are you paying more for Grant and Jennings than Manning (if its Peyton)

Flacco could put up good numbers, but they are going to run a TON. Yes he has some new weapons, but keep in mind Boldin is the best blocking WR in the league so they will use him in that capacity alot.

AT $28, this has got to be Eli, no? And if so, it's Flacco in a landslide no brainer.

I'll take Celek for a dollar any day of the week. I do agree I wouldn't keep Grant at that price.
