IDP Keeper League - Is ricky Williams a keeper?

[Rydog]

I am in an IDP keeper league in which we can keep any three players. Scoring categories are even between Off & Def.

 

I have to choose any 3 of the following as my keepers:

 

Ladanian Tomlinson

Edgerin James

Ricky Williams

Adawale Ogunleye (Chi) DE

Steve Foley (ARI) - Linebacker

 

Which 3 should I keep? (I also have a top 3 pick)

Would you draft Ricky in the third round or earlier of an inaugural dynasty draft?

 

I didn't think so.

 

Trouble is Ogunleye is very average and Foley is worthless. I guess from that crowd you keep Ricky on a flier and hope for the best.

 

You sure you don't have any other options to use as keepers, such as a solid WLB, MLB, S, WR or QB?

[Rydog]

The only other players even close to worthwhile that I had on my roster from last year were:

 

Drew Brees

Santana Moss

 

I traded a good deal away to end up with LT & Edge

[redman]

I would strongly consider keeping Brees over Williams. While I try to avoid having multiple players from the same offense, Brees is playing for a contract once again this year and Antonio Gates is back in camp. I don't think last year was a total fluke.

 

Williams isn't even a starter on his own team and his motivation for returning is questionable. If you do keep Williams, please realize that you're going to keep him to see what he gives you next year, because this year his value is minimal.
