I am in an 8 man deeper keeper league where we keep 9 guys. It is pretty much a basic scoring league with a point for every 20 yards and passing TD's are worth 4 points. Our league is unique in that we have what's called a swiper rule to balance the teams a little. Each team can protect 4 players that are untouchable. Then the next 5 guys can be swiped from your team (you can only lose one player) The worst place team gets the first swipe and I get the last swiper pick
QB's---M. Bulger, M. Vick, M. Leinart (start 2)
I would like to keep 2 of these guys but don't know which ones. I'm leaning Bulger and Leinart and see if I can trade Vick.
RB's---S. Alexander, S. Jackson, R. Brown, C. Benson, T. Jones, J. Lewis. I also have the #1 pick and will take A. Peterson thanks to a trade last year where I gave up C. Taylor to a Viking homer (kind of ironic that Peterson will steal his job at some point (start 3)
I am protecting Alexander, Jackson, and R. Brown. I would like to keep one more between the others but am struggling which one to keep. I am actively trying to trade the others because others are not sitting pretty at RB like I am.
WR's---S. Smith, R. Wayne, D. Stallworth, H. Ward, B. Edwards (start 3)
Smith is my 4th protected player, and I would like to keep 2 more WR's because I have a feeling Wayne will be swiped from my team. I love the upside of Edwards, but it's tough to let Ward go. Maybe I can get an extra pick for Stallworth.
My protected players are easy----Alexander, Jackson, Brown and Smith.
My next 5 guys are not and remember one of them will be stolen from my team.
Any advice on what I should do?
Should I trade those RB's or keep them and be a RB whore? How do you rank Lewis, Benson and T. Jones?
Should I only keep Bulger and maybe grab my 2nd QB in the draft? We start 2 and I would be afraid that someone would swipe Bulger from me and leave me with no QB's so I would like to keep 2.
What should I do at WR?
Sorry about such a long post, but I wanted to get as many details to you guys/gals as possible. I WANT THE TROPHY this year because last year I got hosed!!!!!!
