Just drafted, 18 players in roster PPR league w/ 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, K, DST

 

It's a sudo-keeper and when I say that I can assign up to 30 years of contracts but don't have to use them all. Obviously I'm using at least 18 for this season as I have 18 rosters to fill Here is my team and the round I drafted them in. If you could help give me some years to throw at guys I would appreciate it. Thanks!

 

QB Tony Romo 4th

Alex Smith 12th

 

RB DeAngelo Williams 3rd

Matt Forte 5th

CJ Spiller 6th

Tim Hightower 9th

Brandon Jacobs 15th

Jason Snelling 11

I don't play in any leagues that use this contract-keeper format, so I can't really suggest from experience what the "right" number of contract years might be for each player - but it would seem to me that the guys listed below are the ones that warrant some sort of "long term" contract consideration:

 

> Romo - likely to be a quality NFL starter for a while on a team with a high powered offense

> Wayne/Johnson - not rookies anymore, but should be at or near the top of their games for another 2-3 seasons

> Spiller - rookie with upside potential if he stays healthy & the Bills start to turn things around

> DeAngelo - NFL RBs have a short shelf life, but he may be worth locking up for another 1-2 seasons

 

I assume that the more contract years (of your 30 available) that you use up this year, the fewer that are "open" for use next season, ie when you draft a new crop of players (rookies or vets?) so in this league format it might be worth doing some research now to try & speculate what NCAA players may be the top rookie prospects for next years NFL draft.

what happens if you decide to cut a player? Do yo get all his years back? Only one? None? That's need to know info. I like giving my studs and projected studs long term deals but if you do not get any years back in case they are a bust and you have to release them then that stratagy could bite you in the butt.

TS this is my first time with this type of format and I was thinking the same things as you. I figure a 3 year contract for Wayne, maybe even a 4 for Johnson would be good. I don't know if I want to lock Romo up for too long as there are many servicable QB's, however you are right that he is a up and comer. So here is what I am thinking for my allocation:

 

Andre Johnson- 3 years

Reggie Wayne- 2 years

Deangelo Williams - 2 years He's 27 now and I don't know if I want to throw too much time at him when in the 2012 draft I can probably get a better quality guy on draft day.

Spiller- 3

Romo- 2

 

That puts me at 30. And the penalty for dropping someone with years left is you forfeit your 1st round pick in next years draft.
