New to FFL, but need some help with my keeps...
Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 4:14 pm
Ok, here's the deal. I'm in a 12 team league that plays 8 players per week:
1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 DEF, 1 K (unfortunately no flex). We have an auction draft with a cap of about $150 to fill out a 16 player team and we get to hold 2 keeps from the previous year.
Here is my question.
Right now I Vick @$31 from last year. (So I'm pretty much keeping him), but who do I choose out of my remaining options:
-Antonio Gates @$13? (He was a beast last year...until the Plantar. Red flag???)
-Mercedes Lewis @$1? (up and comer...but last year was a contract year and I'm not sure if he will still produce)
-Larry Fitzgerald @$28 (New QB in 2011? New QB in 2010 was already bad news)
-Benjarvus Green Ellis @$13 (Solid RB, Woodhead is gone now so numbers could improve)
-MJD @$51 (Jags have no vertical game and I think he's gonna face 8/9 in the box on almost every play, but he is 100% now)
Ok, so there are my options. What do you think and why? I'm leaning towards Gates. That way my TE and QB spot (may just get Vince Young on the cheap as my 2nd QB so I can save more money for better RBs and WRs) are pretty much sewn up.
