Ok here are my scenarios/teams/keepers: We do a auction salary league, players cost their avg (10 pts = $1), you can match the highest bid in the auction draft for a player that was on your team. We have $4 Franchise Tag (keep any player for $4) and a $6 mini cap. ($) RBs: Reggie Bush (1.8) Alfred Morris (1.7) Lamar Miller (.9) Donald Brown (1) Dennis Johnson (.3) Christine Michael (.2) WRs: Alshon Jeffery (1.5) Demaryius Thomas (1.5) Keenan Allen (1) Julio Jones (.5) Dwayne Bowe (.7) TEs: Julius Thomas (1) Charlies Clay (.9) Rob Housler (.3) Dennis Pitta (.2) Scenarios: 1: Alfred Morris or Reggie Bush Alshon Jeffery Demaryius Thomas Keenan Allen Lamar Miller Julio Jones Dennis Johnson (other .3 player) Dennis Pitta (other .2 player) 2: Reggie Bush Alfred Morris Alshon Jeffery Demaryius Thomas Julio Jones Dennis Johnson (other .3 player) Rob Housler (other .2 player) Christine Michael (other .2 player) I initially leaned towards Scenario 1 and plan to re sign Bush and Julius Thomas, feeling that Alfred Morris would fetch a higher auction price than Bush... Thanks!!! p.s. i lost in the championship... we tied 123-123 and lost our tiebreaker (head to head, total season points, season record) (lost all 3))

Hello , Thank you for taking the time to read my question, I have a somewhat long complicated series of questions/scenarios I would greatly appreciate your insight; first let me set up my dynasty league for you. It’s a salary keeper league, 1/2 pt PPR, 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. Our league is set up with 22.5 Million Salary cap, we have a 4 mil franchise tag and then 6 million mini cap to re sign our players. Player’s value is equal to their average so Matt Ryan averaged 18 pts in our league so he is $1.8 (million). Referring to it as million is somewhat unnecessary so let’s just refer to it as having $22.5 as our cap. As of now my keepers are ( $ ) QB- M. Ryan (1.8) RB - A. Morris (4 (franchise tag)) RB - MJD (.7) WR - Julio Jones (1.3) WR - Demaryius Thomas (1.3) WR - Danny Amendola (.6) WR - Alshon Jeffrey (.3) Total Sal currently is 12.5 Million. Here now are my questions. 1) I also have Dwayne Bowe (.7) so I could keep him over Danny and then I wouldn’t be able to keep Alshon. Now I feel that Danny has the higher ceiling IF healthy and as my WR3 I think the risk is worth it. But I also feel like Bowe could emerge as well, really wonder what your thinking is, and just let’s assume both players play a full season. Also, keeping Jeffrey is a nice added bonus as he could emerge as a nice WR as well. 2) I also have Reggie Bush (1.7) I could keep him and then re sign Matt Ryan (him or Stafford will be the best QB’s avail). In our league if you owned a player you can match the highest bid and keep him, with everyone having QBs already I feel like he wouldn’t go for much in the auction max would be 3 million, last year I paid 2.7 for him. I think the value of Bush in the auction would range in the 4-7 million as more than half the teams need a RB 1 or RB2. Now there is the risk my jerk friends could just bid him up high knowing my strategy, but again I think he would probably still be lower than trying to bid on Reggie or another RB1/2. The way it looks now is that Reggie will be the best RB avail in the auction. SO keeping Reggie as a backup in case MJD isn’t MJD and Alfred Morris was a 1 year wonder is a smart move, there is also risk in Reggie, I am a Dolphins fan so I followed him closely these past 2 years and I think he can be a RB1 with the right team and it would seem DET is definitely the right team for his skillet, but there is the risk of Leshoure stealing TDS… Keep in mind most teams are only keeping 2 WRs some only 1 so the majority of bids will go to the best WRs and RBs avail, we chose which player is up for auction at random, we do a rookie/free agent draft after auction for all the players that weren’t auctioned and the rookies. 3) Trade Reggie Bush for Payton Manning. This is something that is on the table with someone who already has RG3 and Needs a RB1. This would essential just replace Matt Ryan and give me an upgrade at QB for the year, I feel Payton could be the best QB in the NFL this year and probably the best Fantasy QB. I feel very solid with my team already as is, but the scarcity of RBs avail and the weak demand for QBs leads me to think it would be wise to keep Bush and risk spending less in the auction on a QB over a RB3, allowing me to target other players possibly Gronk or Grahm. The Average weekly pts in my league for the playoff teams was 115 pts, as of now my team AVG is slightly under that, so keeping bush as a security for MJD/Bye week replace/trade bait and saving money to pursue other high scoring players such as Gronk or Grahm would be wise. As I type this email I more and more want to go with keeping Bush.

I am in a 14 team dynasty league with a salary cap. Salary Cap is 25mil. We draft 21 roster spots. When we draft a player it is for 3 years. After year 2 you have the option of resigning the player for up to 5 years at a 50% raise or actual salary, whichever is higher, or playing out the last year of contract at set salary. Starting 1qb 2rb 2wr 1te 1k 1def We also have the option of starting as third WR or Second TE in palce of a RB Scoring .5 PPR 1pt for 10 yards rushing 1pt for 10 yards recieving 1pt for 25 yards throwing 4pt for touchdown 6pt for defense/special team touchdown. I need 5 keepers out of this roster keeping the salaries in mind Drew Brees 4.82mil BJGE .782 Have the option to renew. J. Stewart .940 He is going into his second year. Heyward-bey .430 year 1 Brandon Marshall 2.755 Have opyion to renew Mark Ingram 2 mil Kevin Smith .555 1 year Malcom Floyd 1.485 Mario Manningham 1.5 Laurant Robinson.520 I have the third pick in the round non snake. I also picked up an extra second round pick at the end of the round. Rookies salary is based on the round we draft. 2mil for the first then dropping .250 each round after. I am thinking on dropping Brees to savew salary and draft a new QB.
