Steelhead Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Updated info based on changes in team’s keepers. 12 team 2 keeper league. Scoring at end of post. Up to 16 RBs, 9 WRs, and 2 QB are being kept (rookies can be kept as a 3rd keeper if they stay on roster the whole season). I draft in the 12 spot. My keeper options are Brees, Gore, and Steve Smith. EDIT: I also have Colston as an option. I can swap him with Smith or keep both smith and colston My gut says keep Brees and Gore due to the number of RBs being kept. If I keep Smith then I’m drafting my RB1 in the group of Pierre Thomas, Grant, Thomas Jones, Addai. However due to the number of RBs already off the board there will be a long run on WRs in the first. If I keep Gore then my WR1 is going to be Ochocinco, Roy Williams, maybe TO if he slips (but doubt it). I did a couple mocks and here’s the results. With 2 keepers our first is really the 3rd round Keeping Brees and Gore 3. Grant 4. Ochocinco (maybe TO) 5. Walter 6. Olsen 7. Breaston Keeping Brees and Smith 3. Grant 4. Pierre Thomas 5. Walter 6. Olsen 7. Hester Keeping Gore and Smith (or Colston) 3. Grant 4. Ochocinco (maybe TO) 5. Moore 6. McNabb 7. Shiancoe Even though Brees is more valuable than McNabb I think keeping Gore and Smith gives me the best overall starters, though Brees is consistent enough to overcome either of the first 2 options. I am riding the fence on this and really trying to reason out not keeping Brees but I’m having a hard time not keeping the top QB. 1 pt per 5 completion is hard to pass up Now that I have thrown Colston into the mix I think it could be Gore/Colston or Colston/Smith Appreciate your thoughts on this. I have to decide by this Friday night. Scoring rules QB 1pt per 5 completion 4pt per TD -2 per INT 1pt per 50yd passing 3pt bonus @300yds 2pt bonus @400yds RB/WR/TE 1pt per 2 receptions 1pt per 20yd rushing 1pt per 20yd receiving 0.5pt/20yd IKR/IPR 2pt bonus @100 rushing 3pt bonus @150 rushing 2pt bonus @200 rushing 3pt bonus @150 receiving 2pt bonus @200 receiving Start 1 QB,2 RB,3 WR,and 1 TE,K,DEF Edited August 14, 2009 by Steelhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpwallace49 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Keeping Brees and Smith3. Grant 4. Pierre Thomas 5. Walter 6. Olsen 7. Hester I really like the above combo, but I agree that Smith (depending on health right now) and Gore are your keepers . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 I just updated the first post with Colston. He's an option as well. If I were to keep him over Smith then I think it's Gore/Colston or Smith/Colston and drafting Grant and Thomas or Moreno/Wells then target McNabb in the 4th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAITFISH11 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 you gotta go gore and smith. I have to agree with above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 in case it's lost in the scoring we get 1 pt per 5 completions for QBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelhead Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 I went with Gore and Smith. I guess I have to let my mancrush on Brees go away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I went with Gore and Smith. I guess I have to let my mancrush on Brees go away you can always try to get him back in the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 yeah I know...I would have to try to trade up to the 2nd or 4th spot to get him though. I have targeted Brees going to one of those teams due to their current keepers and what's available. no way he drops to me at 12. I am going to target McNabb, Warner, Rivers in the 3rd/4th rd unless there's still good value at RB/WR for my RB3 or WR3. Dropoff may not be that bad if I can get one of those. If I can't then I'm going late and taking a flier on Hasselbeck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
