Keeper Help 

Post#1 » by Raptor_Guy » Fri Aug 9, 2013 4:40 am

Hey guys, this is my current team:

QB Joe Flacco
QB Eli Manning
RB Frank Gore
RB Beanie Wells
RB Darren Sproles
RB Danny Woodhead
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Kenny Britt
WR TY Hilton
WR Brandon Stokley
TE Jermaine Gresham
TE Jermichael Finley
K Mason Crosby
Houston Texans Defence

I get to keep 3, I'm thinking Johnson, Eli and Gore but just thought I'd see what other people think. Thanks.

damn, your team is a mess.

Does where you draft vary depending on who you pick to keep?

For the record, I just inherited this team haha, and no the draft doesn't vary I just get to keep the 3 best players.

Maybe take Sproles instead of Eli?

You most likely will be able to draft Eli again or someone similar. A RB might be harder to come across

Not a bad strategy, but make sure there are enough quality QBs to be drafted. Can you name some off the top of your head that are free agents? And I agree, worst case you can draft Eli again later on.

He should be fine even with a 14 team league.

If you go by most draft lists, the 14th quarterback is generally Eli/Vick/Freeman. So he should be safe unless his league allows you to play 2 QB's or unless people start drafting backup quarterbacks very early which is rarely the case

You definitely do not keep Eli in a 3 keeper league. With QB being as deep as it is this year, there should only be a handful of QBs kept, especially if its 4 points for passing TD. I'm actually not keeping Cam in my 3 keeper league.

To me this is pretty easy. Calvin, Gore, and Sproles. I don't see anyone else who is even close to keeper material.

It's a 12 team league so I imagine I can find a quality QB in the draft

Can you make trades before you choose your keepers? You need a lot of help to the point where I'd suggest seeing if you could get two good keepers for Calvin.
