Keeper Advice

[T_bone65]

This is a 12 team keeper league where you can keep anywhere from 1-3 players, depending on the number of players you keep your draft starts anywhere from round 2-4 (no real 1st round though). This is a standard performance scoring league, with 4 pts per passing td and no ppr. We start TMQB (weak I know), 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, TMPK and 1 D. Here are my legit options for keepers:

 

RB

 

SJax (no brainer)

Deuce McCalister

Kevin Jones

D. Williams

 

 

WR

Chad Johnson (no brainer)

Larry Fitzgerald (hurt a good bit but.....)

Reggie Brown

Derrick Mason

Troy Williamson

 

 

I have pretty much always kept Sjax, Fitz and CJ seeing as all 3 would normally go in the first 3 rounds anyway. Last year I had Caddy as a choice to keep and I am so glad I kept Sjax over him.

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, also trade advice for any of these players and what I should expect in return. Trading draft picks not an option in this league, I may even just drop the league as well since I am now in 4 BOTHS and 3 Locals.

 

Thanks again.

I'd keep the 2 No Brainers + Fitzgerald.

Agreed

Agreed with the others on who I would keep, knowing that my focus would be RB in the early parts of the draft.

 

Given that you can not deal for picks, I would look to package the RBs not names Jackson with any of the WRs not named Johnson looking for a legit stud RB in return that you could plug in to your keeper core.

 

Maybe you couls deal DeAngelo and Fitz or Deuce for an Alexander/Gore type player. Try to find a trading partner with one real stud and not much else in terms of keeper value and you have the makings of a deal that would be beneficial to both teams... but especially to you.
