Who to keep for a keeper league

[ChronicKerr]

I am trying to decide who to keep this year for my keeper league. I can keep 3 players and I am trying to decide between Reggie Wayne, Reggie Bush, Kurt Warner, Jason Witten, and TO.

We start

1QB
3WR
2RB
1TE
1WR/RB
1K
1DEF

Scoring is as such

Completions .5
Incomplete Passes -.5
Passing Yards 25 yards per point; 4 points at 300 yards
Passing Touchdowns 6
Interceptions -3
Rushing Yards 10 yards per point; 4 points at 100 yards
Rushing Touchdowns 6
Receptions 1
Reception Yards 10 yards per point; 4 points at 100 yards
Reception Touchdowns 6
Return Touchdowns 6
2-Point Conversions 2
Fumbles -1

Obviously this puts a premium at the QB position when they can hit 300 yards as you'll see with the 300 yard bonus and the 100 yard bonuses for WR/RB. With the 1 PPR and the 6 points for return TD this makes Bush very valuable as well if he could only stay healthy. He was the #1 player inf antasy for the first half of the season last year! What do I do?

Who do I keep? Pick 3!

Too early for fantasy fball talk I see.

Maybe after the draft I'll get some responses, no?

[CrookedJ]

I'm starting to think about it now, I'm taking over someone elses team a league where I keep 8! We start 5 IDP's and the usual offensive guys....good LB's are just as valuable as RB's. Lots of decisions to make. Enough about me....

I 'd keep Bush for sure, PPR makes him super valuable. Then Wayne and Warner? Wayne and Warner stand to be very good at getting those bonus points.

TO who knows how this is gonna go, and Witten might have a harder time without TO to take attention away from him. Then again he might do better with more looks. Witten is certainly very valuable vs other TE's. I guess it depends on how big your league is and if decent TE's will be around on draft day.

[ChronicKerr]

Your thinking is pretty similar to mine. Over a month since my original post. Anyone else have any thoughts on who to keep between Warner/TO/Witten?

I'm leaning Warner knowing that this will probably be the only year that I will keep him.

[ChronicKerr]

Who'd you rather have in a PPR league this year: Joseph Addai or Darren McFadden?

[hermes]

for the first question i woud go with Bush and Wayne for sure, and definetly not TO- too much drama with this guy and now his qb isn't anywhere near as good as Romo

and it's tough between Warner and Witten. QB's are big scorers in your league- but warner's up there in age

and with TO gone there could be more td opportunities for witten- easily one of the best te's in the league

it's a really tough call- and depends on the qb's that would be avaliable if you don't keep warner

[hermes]

mcfadden could make a leap this year, but i'm not ready to jump on the bandwagon yet

i'd go with addai even though he'll be losing carries to brown

[ChronicKerr]

Addai over McFadden?? This is a really tough IMO. I thought I would get McFadden responses from people. Not only bc of the keeper aspect, which I don't care about as much as the production I'll get this year but with how bad Addai was last year.

Interesting oint of view. Makes my decision more difficult as neither of those two guys were kept this year and with the 7th pick I'm thinking of choosing between McFadden/Addai/Braylon/TO/Welker assuming they fall that far.

as I think I'm for sure keeping Warner now for one last hurrah!

[theonlyeastcoastrapsfan]

Hey guys I can keep six, pretty standard scoring, no point per reception,

I'm struggling with who to cut among these players.

Cutler
Adrian Peterson
Calvin Johnson
Michael Turner
Chris Johnson
Brandon Marshall
Steve Smith
Tennessee Defense

Help me out.

[ChronicKerr]

You help me, I help you.

Keeping a defense makes no sense, especially with the all star lineup you are throwing out there so that's the obvious one. After that it gets tough. I would keep AP, Calvin, Turner, Johnson for sure. I would then choose between Marshall, Smith, Cutler to cut. Being a Bears fan I would keep Cutler but you can probably cut Cutler seeing as this looks like a shallow league and pick up a solid QB still.

What is this an 8 team league?? or 10??

Oh yeah.. help me out

i should say that i've never been in a keeper league before, so i tend to think in a one year only mind set

i was thinking Addai because i think he improves from last year, there is a promising young back behind him, so there is pressure to perform or sit

and i'm not particularly a fan of the raiders (short-term), and i'm not sure if it would be worth it to wait on them with McFadden

i agree with Chronic, not much sense to keep a defense (even though it's a really good one) with the level of players you also have there

AP, Calvin, and Chris are no brainers to me
Turner should be kept, his numbers will most likely not be what they were last year, but he'll still be good

it gets tricky from there, Cutler is obvioulsy very talented but his supporting cast isn't what it was in denver. That also ties into Marshall- obviously an excellent wr, but his qb isn't what it used to be-and he's suspended for one game (not much of a factor). And smith is on a run oriented team, but always seems to have good years, but for some reason i never feel comfortable drafting him

i'd go AP, the Johnsons, Turner, Cutler, and Marshall (because Orton has to throw to someone)

If I were you I'd keep Warner, Bush, and Witten. You never know what you'll get from TO, Witten will get more looks and there's less depth at TE than a WR so when you got a elite guy there you got a real advantage.

It's actually a 12 team league, I just drafted real well a few years ago, with AP, Marshall, and Calvin, one year, then got Turner and Johnson the next.

yeah the defense keeping isn't really the issue, I know I've got to drop that. It's Cutler, Marshall, Smith or Johnson. We play two RB's but a RB unit of AP, Turner and Johnson is one I want to keep together. Everyone keeps QBs, so part of me says drop Cutler and maybe I can get him again at the end of the first round. Most gms would have kept their qb, so they might not want to spend their first pick on one. However, i just don't know what to expect from Marshall this year?

[theonlyeastcoastrapsfan]

Addai - it's about proof, I'd want to see proof Mcfadden breaks out, and proof Addai has a down year.

I think Bush will have a good year, Wayne wouldn't be awful, by any means.

Cutler
Adrian Peterson

Michael Turner

Brandon Marshall
Steve Smith
Tennessee Defense

Help me out.

Well it's quite obvious you have to drop:
Tennessee Defense

Also obvious you have to keep:
Adrian Peterson
Calvin Johnson
Michael Turner
Chris Johnson

So the choice is 2/3 from:
Cutler
Brandon Marshall
Steve Smith

I take it you start 1QB and 3WR... if so I would keep Marshall and Smith. If you start just 2WR then I would keep Cutler and Smith.

The problem with Wayne this year will be the loss of Harrison which means he will draw a lot of double coverage. Granted Harrison's numbers were down last year, but he still drew some attention from the D. On the other side Gonzalez is our #2 and we don't really have a #3 yet and I am personally not a huge fan of Gonzalez so Wayne will be the primary target. Also, Clark catches a ton of balls in the Colts offense.

[hermes]

Wayne will still be good, but your right he's going to get a lot more attetion, Clark obviously is a top TE

but i think harrison's departure is going to open the door for Gonzalez, who i imagine is going to catch quite a few passes, maybe not a lot of td's but you could do a lot worse

Update,
I traded Steve Smith and a 2nd round (with 7 kept players) for Peyton Manning. However, before that deal I traded Marshall for a 3rd round'er in our draft thinking I was going to drop him anyway, now, I kinda wish I had of kept him, but oh well. I suppose now I could keep Cutler. I'm currently trying to trade Chris Johnson for Andre Johnson or Gregg Jennings, to try and get my best players off the bench.

My roster is now
Manning
AP
Megatron
Turner
Johnson
Cutler/Hines Ward
and I have to keep a D or IDP

So I'm keeping Patrick Willis. Our league is a 12 team keeper league. We've had it for three years. I can't help but show it off. But sadly I've never won the league. Last year I lost my 2nd game of the season in the semi's, because I sat Turner and Played Johnson due to "match ups" and "stupidity". Johnson still had a good game, but Turner would have won it for me.
