LifeOLuxry Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I am in a 14 team Keeper League - PPR. I will be keeping Lamar Miller and Kaepernick both as 14th round keepers. I have also positioned myself to have the 4th and 6th overall picks in the draft. I won't list all of the keepers, but take my word that everyone ranked ahead of the guys I'm asking about will be taken. I anticipate Foster and Lynch to be the first two RB's off the board. The guy in front of me will likely take either Chris Johnson or Matt Forte, so with the 4th pick I will take which ever one he doesn't. So after my 1st pick my team will look like this: QB Kaepernick RB Forte / Johnson RB L. Miller My question is with regard to my second 1st round pick (#6 overall). The guy in the 5 hole will likely go with a RB (MJD, Gore, Bush, DMC) as well because he's keeping Graham and AJ Green. I do NOT expect that he will take Le'Veon Bell who I like better than any of the guys above, but only slightly. So with that second pick, do I take LeVeon Bell to stack the RB's or take a top tier WR like Marshall or Dez Bryant. My next pick is not until #32, so the RB's will be thin by that point and I love Miller as a 14th round keeper, but he has a lot to prove as an RB1 or even RB2 for that matter. So all that said, is Bell a smart play there or do I roll the dice on RB later and grab the stud WR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeOLuxry Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 I also should have mentioned that it's a Flex Position league, so drafting a RB with the 6th pick would not necessarily put a guy on my bench, all three RB's could be in the starting lineup if they were performing. Starting positions look like this: QB WR1 WR2 RB1 RB2 TE FLEX (WR, RB, TE) K DEF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwebs13 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) If you trust Lamar i say go for a WR. I would probably draft MJD if avail with the 6th pick. Not sold on Bell but if you want him get him. More depth at WR so no don't feel you need a stud. I would feel better with: QB Kaepernick RB Forte / Johnson RB MJD / Bell RB L. Miller than QB Kaepernick RB Forte / Johnson RB MJD / Bell RB L. Miller WR Marshall / Dez Edited August 14, 2013 by bwebs13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeOLuxry Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 That's kind of where I'm leaning (i.e. going RB/RB instead of RB/WR). I have a couple of weeks to sort out which RB I would take there (MJD actually may be kept, but I think he'll be avilable), but I'm defintely leaning toward waiting on drafting WR's because it's a deep draft for WR's and because of a huge amount of RB keepers, very thin RB pool.

Axe Elf Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Take Bell. There are 2000 startable WRs in the NFL these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
