hirdy13 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi all. I'm in a 12 team keeper league that starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, K & DST and must keep 4 plus a rookie. I have nominated so far... Ronnie Brown Sidney Rice Greg Jennings Beanie Wells (Rookie) I must keep 1 other from Vernon Davis Steve Smith CAR Matt Leinart Dwayne Bowe All the good QB's are kept, the best I'll get in the re-draft is between Flacco, Kolb & Cutler. So what are the thoughts on Leinart? Or who else do I keep? Send a link to your question & I'll respond! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirdy13 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 That's an interesting Choice, why the 3rd WR & why Bowe over Steve Smith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Based on lineup reqs, I'd go with Vernon Davis. I'd rather lock in a potential stud TE than a backup WR. Any chance you can trade some of these guys (Bowe or Smith in particular) for picks. I can't see Leinart being a real option barring something strange in the rules and plenty of similarly ranked QBs being available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rd and schlong Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I would defiently try to move ronnie and one of the WR's you arent going to keep for a better RB. and keep vernon, stud TE is better then a 3rd WR you cant even start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Vernon is turning into a Stud. Matt Lightheart is soft and won't last as starter IMO. Steve Smith has be good for a long time but he has also been good for a long time. He is risky. Broken arm three times. Bowe is a good WR. I like him a lot. Believe it or not I like Stafford. I also think Rice is a product of Farve, if he plays fine if not his production drops drastically. Jennings is a stud. I would keep Davis as having a stud at TE is important in head to head matchups. That is a plus come game time. People overlook the importance of a real pass catching, scoring TE, especially in a PPR league. You have to have a solid TE to compete some weeks. Look at the winners in your leagues they most often have a Dallas Clark, Witten, Gonzales, or Gates on their roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirdy13 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 I can trade the WR's but must nominate them as keepers first which leaves me with a problem - sounds like I go with Vernon & draft a QB back at a later stage or I keep Bowe & trade him & Someone else for a better player etc. Problem is I'd have to have the trade lined up first!

hirdy13 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Oh & I like Stafford too but not as much as Beanie Wells..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I would keep Davis and go for Kolb(3 years in the Philly program)-has a good corps of returning WR's. Cutler -too many interceptions, Flacco- on a running team with questionable receivers. Boldin in a new program, and much colder weather down the road.

HoustonBuckeye Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm not saying I would keep either in your spot, but why on Earth would you keep Matt Leinart over Carson Palmer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Miscreant Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Based on lineup reqs, I'd go with Vernon Davis. I'd rather lock in a potential stud TE than a backup WR. I can't see Leinart being a real option barring something strange in the rules and plenty of similarly ranked QBs being available. The first statement above was the first thing I thought when I read your post. And I feel similarly to both of these(above and below) witth regard to the QB position. I'm not saying I would keep either in your spot, but why on Earth would you keep Matt Leinart over Carson Palmer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirdy13 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 I believe Palmer has reached his peak whereas Leinart we don't know... I can see by popular demand that Vernon is the guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scare Tactics Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm only answering cuz it's a serious league. Id keep VD hands down.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Davis. Trading after keepers defeats the purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperCommish Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Definitely go Palmer over Leinart if it comes down to it, but I wouldn't keep either of them in your case (although TO did just sign with Bengals!). Sounds like your free agent QBs are really good. I would consider Kolb, Cutler and Flacco on par or above Palmer. When is your deadline? The longer you can hold out to find if Favre is returning the better for you. I like Sidney Rice, but Bowe more if there is no Favre. Otherwise because you HAVE to start a TE you should keep Vernon. R.Brown, Jennings, S.Rice and Wells. Highly prioritize RB with your first pick in the free agent draft. Take a QB with your second pick because it sounds like your league has a deep pool of QBs available and you can afford to wait a round. Unless Peyton is available, I really dont like Ronnie Brown as RB1, he is too injury prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lb3 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Drop Steve Smith. He starts slow each season and will probably be on waivers by week 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirdy13 Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thanks all for the help here - it seems Vernon is the guy & my plan is to get young at RB & QB in particular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittyoc Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Go with Vernon Davis and you will LOVE getting "stuck" with Kolb in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
