tlmisnotthebest Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hey guys. So my league is allowing a keeper for the first time this year. Whichever player you keep, you lose the draft pick for the round that player was taken. So, i have Leveon Bell, but if i keep him i lose my 1st round pick. I picked up Josh Gordon, who went undrafted, so i could keep him basically for free, but...y'know. My other choices are Cam Newton, 8th round, Alshon Jeffery, 4th, Jack Doyle, undrafted, Gio Bernard, 14th round, or Aaron Jones, undrafted. Thoughts?

zips5000 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 How much do you like gambling? Gordon is the much higher upside if he comes back in form and plays the entire season. When do you have to declare your keeper - if you can watch how the preseason plays out and then make your decision, it will likely be easier. If you have a top 3 pick, there is no real reason to keep Bell (unless you have to have him over any of the other top RBs). If you pick late, you do gain a little by keeping Bell. Other guys you listed don't scream anything at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwyld Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 It Depends when you pick in the first round if you are outside the top 3 I say Keep Bell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I agree with the above, if your pick is midway or late in round 1, you keep Bell. Gordon could be a steal but we really don't know. If he's not 2013 Josh Gordon, he's not worth keeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlmisnotthebest Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 I appreciate your guys' input. I drew 4th pick. And it looks like Gordon will play at some point. Does that change anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zips5000 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 If I were in your shoes, I don't think I would keep Bell with the 4th pick. I'd be happy with Zeke or DJ and taking a flyer on Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlmisnotthebest Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Thanks. It looks like DJ, Gurley, and Zeke will all be kept though. So....do i just keep Bell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So....do i just keep Bell? Well, who else is being kept? Who would you likely end up with if you didn't keep Bell? Just need to compare the drop off between Bell and whomever you get to the potential upside of Gordon. Could Gordon pay off? Certainly, it's just a big question mark in my mind. Where do you think Gordon gets drafted otherwise? With the couple guys you mentioned, your 4th pick is more like the 7th or 8th pick, so I would lean back towards keeping Bell.

tlmisnotthebest Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 thanks guys, that makes sense. Going to stick with Bell. Trying to predict Gordon's output had been giving me a headache already. Need to remember Matthew Berry's mantra, "minimize risk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
