mhorn Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I'm in a keeper league where we only get to keep one player. My choices are Rodgers, Mojo or Wayne? I'm thinking probably not Wayne since WR is a pretty deep position, but the choice between Rodgers and Mojo is pretty tough. We start 1 qb, 2 rb, 3 wr, 1 te, 1 rb/wr flex, 1 k. Here's my leagues scoring system: 1pt per 10 yards rushing/receiving 1pt per 25 yards passing 6pt per TD passing/rushing/receiving 0.5pt per reception 1pt per 25 return yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhorn Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Lol, oops. Yeah Mojo = MJD. It's been a long offseason and I forgot his shorthand name. Thanks for your advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhorn Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 The 6pt TD helps Rodgers, but also the fact that he gets a lot of rushing yardage. Granted with 0.5pt per reception that helps MJD, you can see why I put this question to the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 MJD.. not really that close of a decision IMO I :heart: you to Opie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) To save everyone the trouble of explaining why 6 point TDs is not a good enough reason to justify taking Rodgers in the first (or in this case above a #3 rated keeper), please refer to this great article about why you should almost never take a QB with your first pick. Like BC and Opie keep saying, FF is about point differential and value... So tell me, is Rodgers really the best value, if he's only likely to score marginally better than Brees, Manning, Romo, Brady, Rivers, Schaub, all of which can be had in the first 5 rounds (not to mention other QBs that could end up on that list by years end)... But MJD is part of short list of elite 3-down backs that are becoming increasingly rare, and thus is why they're all taken at the top. In short, I would not take a player at any other position over any of those top 5 backs, and a good case has been made for waiting on a QB, unless extraordinary value presents itself.

mhorn Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 These are all great points. Thanks for bringing me to my senses guys. My league just became a keeper league this season and so to ease everyone in to the idea we decided to start with only 1 keeper for this season.
