Adam12 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 We are starting a new keeper league this year, 10 team, non PPR. The keeper would be for 2016 season, and lose the round we draft that player in the 2015 draft. I have the number 1 pick, snake draft. Can only keep a player 2 years. So can draft them, then keep 2 years. So there are couple ideas I have read/ heard: 1) To draft a elite QB Luck and Rodgers and have them injury free pretty much 2) Draft an elite RB like Bell/Lacy, but some risk in injury. I am thinking of going Bell and have him next 3 years, even though I lose a 1st rounder every year but have the best back in the league for 3 years. What are people's thought? Will be glad to help in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjoe Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Draft who you think is the best player. Everyone is prone to an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotSoIgnorant Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Do you have to keep them each year? If they become injured enough you need to drop them you can always drop them. So forgot about injury. If you HAVE to keep them then go with rodgers or luck yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam12 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 We don't have to keep them. Ideally I would like to keep this player for 3 years, since I can draft anyone 1st overall. I'm leaning Bell. Is it a disadvantage keeping your 1st round player in a keeper where you lose the pick???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a disadvantage keeping your 1st round player in a keeper where you lose the pick???? Well it is obviously a disadvantage to give away a 1st round pick rather than a late round pick... I'd just go with whoever you feel is gonna be the best player this year. If he's amazing you keep him, if not then there's probably someone else you drafted in later rounds you can keep for a lower price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like rewarding winning, so every year 1st, 2nd 3rd and so on where they draft next year. So basically i can rent my 1st round player every year to help me win?!

FastSteve Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 If passing TD are 6 take the QB. I have played in leagues like that & the top 8-10 QB will outscore the #1 RB even in a PPR league. So in your NON PPR league QB would definitely outscore RB. Now if you think you can take Bell & still get a top 4-6 QB based on how you think your league will draft, then take Bell. Remember WR has depth, especially with how pass happy the league is now. Please take a look at mine. http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?/topic/439959-dynasty-changes-who-to-cut/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam12 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 QBs always out score top RBs or WRs...general stat is they will outscore. But RBs are more valuable. I am thinking of trading down to 5-7 and taking a RB there or A Brown if all RBs are gone, then will draft a WR at 20 and another RB at 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastSteve Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 My point is that # 1/2 QB will significantly outscore that #1/2/3 RB. As recommended by The Huddle, using tier rankings for each position & look at the possible drop off if you wait on a position. If the drop off is small, go after another position where the drop off will be larger & then come back to the other position next round. In past years I have been stuck on a certain "battle" plan. Don't be too rigid on what you are going to do. Be ready to jump on the maximum value presented to you & not get in a mindset of I have to take this position at this pick. Though I am not saying that your plan isn't a good one. It does sound like it could work out well. You just don't want to be chasing the QB all season, that can kill a team.

JShady Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If I was starting a new keeper with pick 1.01 it would be hard to pass on andrew luck or aaron rodgers. My other choices would be Bell or OBJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotpimp Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Yes don't plan on a keeper that is a first rounder the point is to get the most value from a player that was drafted much later the first year and moved up the rankings, OBJ is a perfect example.. Look for value picks in mid to late rounds after you've filled out majority of your starting lineup. Getting Melvin Gordon in the 4th could be value for next year, taking him in the 3rd would be risky for this year but could payoff or not. Rookies, 2nd/3rd year WR's, guys with opportunities to start and make an immediate impact or continue where they left off late last year... (C.Hyde, CJ anderson, Jeremy Hill, etc.).
