Obviously, it depends on your league format - but it can be argued either way. 1st year Keeper leagues? Def AP.

Either way I think Tomlinson's backup Darren Sproles...will be the hottest backup to grab early.

I would have to go for LT I think... he has a great schedule during the POs. You can't go wrong with either probably though :)

LT no doubt, but I've never had the first pick before. :(

I'd take Brady and his 50 tds. I honestly don't understand how anyone else would go #1.

Who would you guys pick in a PPL 1st year keeper league? Happened to luck into it this year. Right now I am deciding between LT, Westbrook, and Peterson. TD's are worth 6 points across the board so I guess I could take Brady too.

Brady 1st is asking for trouble unless its like a 6 team league. Gotta take LT or AD - I'd probably go LT.

A good question is at what point does it become not insane to take Brady. You've got to look at the RBs that are available for you in the 2nd round. The last three picks of the first round should be safe for Brady (or Peyton. Don't forget about Peyton.) Any earlier and a run on RB might leave you scrambling.

Cliff Levingston had the first pick of a keeper league and took AP, but has the first pick in another league and is thinking about taking LT or trading down and taking Westbrook or Addai (whoever falls).
