Keeper dilema

[steeler]

12 team league... scoring is 1 point for every 10 yards rush/rec and 1 point per reception.

 

I can keep up to three players...

 

I'm going to keep K. Jones and T. Gonzalez (a monster producer and uber consistent in ppr leagues).

 

For the third keeper, I can't decide between T. Bell and B. Westbrook.

 

Westbrook had an icredible year last year with 70+ catches (IIRC) but there are a lot of things working against him this year. TO, all the WR issues, the return of Buckhalter (although he's injured), Moats, and Andy Reid's usual tendancy to go with RBBC.... I just don't see him having another monster year like last year.

 

Bell is unproven but he has some tremendous upside as the main denver RB... he can take it to the house on just about any play and should be used enough in the passing game if he is the starter... I know there are questions about it, but I just can't see any of those other guys taking the job from him. Anderson is old and hasn't be the main ball carrier for 4 years, Dayne is Dayne, and Clarrett isn't as talented as Bell.

 

Another option would be to keep neither of them and take my chances in the third round.... something i probably won't do as I have the last pick in the 3rd round. I think Bell or Westbrook is better than the 36th player so it's probably better to just keep one of them.... I'm just adding this as an option.

 

I'm leaning towards swinging for the fences and keeping Bell.... thoughts?

Of the options given I like keeping Bell the best even though I don't much like him fantasy wise with Skeletor at the helm.

Keep Westbrook. Bell has too much competition in the Denver backfield.
