Need help on IDP, PPR, Keeper

[mlvc]

I have the first pick in an MFL IDP PPR Keeper league

12 team keep 4 O and 4 D

 

Start 1-2 RBs I have Turner and shon Green

 

qb Eli no better QB is avail

 

start 2-4 wrs have wr Rotty White

 

availabe wrs are Both Steve Smiths, V Jackson and sidney Rice then it drops from there.

 

I already Have 3 good LBs and must start 3 LBs

 

Best available players are:

 

Gates ......and I everyone needs a TE no one kept one

 

Mendenhall and Knowshon but I have 2 and only need 1-2

 

LB Patrick Willis who is the highest rated #1 Defensive player by our scoring system.

 

some owner elected not to keep him and he ranks #1 of all drafted and undrafed players.

 

O.K. so I need a TE but so does everyone else

 

I need another good WR start 2-4

 

I have not played much IDP and my instinct is to go for an offensive player.

 

but is Patrick Willis just too good to pass up??

 

after the top 2 available LBs the drop off is significant, like all remaining positions

In most IDP leagues, stud LBs are like stud RBs. I would lean Willis, even though you are stong at the position.

 

Then you can look at possible trades of one of your current LBs for other player/pick combos that help you out even more.

Thanks

after really looking into it

I am def taking Willis.

everyone else left at LB is exactly 2/3 as productive as Willis

he is 1st overall of available FA's both O and D

You can't pass up on talent like Willis. Even if you are stacked at LB. Follow BC's advice and trade one of your other LBs for a pick or TE later.

I think Willis is the way to go but I'd take a WR before Gates
