LooperProJock Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'm in a ten team keeper league. Must play QB, two backs, two receivers, TE, kicker, defense and one flex player (either WR or RB). My keepers are DeAngelo and T. Pierre. I also have first pick. So my second and third picks will be picks 20 and 21, respectively. What should I do with the first pick? Go with Adrian? Turner? Forte? MJD? Very nervous about the 8 fronts that AP is going to be constantly facing. Turner and the Atlanta line make me feel like he's a less risky pick. And Forte is one of the only RBs who can catch the ball...and with Cutler throwing, seems that running lanes will open and he'll also be making more catches. Or, given that I've got two decent starting backs, do I go nuts with Fitzgerald, Moss or A. Johnson? Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3xcrazy Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 What type of scoring? If Brees or Brady is out there that would be my choice. Do like Forte situation with Cutler being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooperProJock Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 Offensive Scoring is as follows: FG - Field Goals 3 points Plus 1 point for a FG of 45 to 49 Yds Plus 2 points for a FG of 50+ Yds FL - Fumble Lost, Including ST plays -2 points Pa2P - Passing Two-point Conversion 2 points PaInt - Passing Interception -2 points PaIntTD - Passing Interception for TD -4 points PaTD - Passing TD 6 points PaYd - Passing Yards 0+ PaYds = 0.05 points for every 1 PaYd Re2P - Receiving Two-point Conversion 2 points ReTD - Receiving TD 6 points ReYd - Receiving Yards 0+ ReYds = 0.1 points for every 1 ReYd Ru2P - Rushing Two-point Conversion 2 points RuTD - Rushing TD 6 points RuYd - Rushing Yards 0+ RuYds = 0.1 points for every 1 RuYd XP - Extra Points 1 point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack Nation Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I think you have several options. But it depends on scoring in your league. If it is not a PPR league than I would either draft AP at #1 which then could give you trade options at RB once the season has started and Pierre Thomas proves a viable threat. Or you could try and trade your #1 pick down to say #5, #6, or #7 and pick up Fitz., Moss, or A. Johnson. and have say pick #7, #14, #21 etc.. This way you have two starting RBs and one of the big three Wrs. My personal choice in these three or in this order: Moss, Fitz. A. Johnson but I think all three will put up similar numbers as long as A.J. stays healthy. If your in a PPR league I would draft MJD at the #1 pick. Turner doesn't catch the ball enough out of the backfield to warrant drafting him #1 and I think MJD will score more than AP in a PPR league. Forte scares me because Cutler tends to throw the ball down field more than to his RBs and I don't think Chicago addressed their O-line enough for Forte to improve on his ypc.

LooperProJock Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 how are those guys options for you in a keeper league? Keeper has to be from prior year's draft rounds 5-14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Given the scoring system and the lineup requirements, AP is the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
