fantasybears Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I need to make final cuts before the deadline with our upcoming auction draft. The salaries of the players go up each year based on performance and current cost, so I'm looking to have the best team I can this year while keeping in mind the future since this is a fully dynasty team and we can keep everyone. This team was under the salary cap last year but with the increase in salary is now well over it. League: 12 team, $200 salary cap dynasty 0.5 PPR league, start 1QB, 1RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1FLEX (RB/WR/TE), 1D, 1K, 15min - 17max roster. Who would you cut from the following before the draft? QB - Cousins ($11), Palmer ($10), Garoppolo ($3) RB - L. Miller ($27), David Johnson ($25), L. Murray ($17), Perkins ($3) WR - Julio ($39), Evans ($21), Allen Robinson ($15), Watkins ($11), Parker ($7) TE - Olsen ($21), Eifert ($9) D - Chiefs (3) Current Salary: $222 Average Rookie RB: $30, Average Rookie WR: $15, Average Top WR: $35, Average Top RB: $40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Cut the 3 QBs - should be fairly easy to fill the spot or reacquire them (saves $24) Cut Murray - With Cook there and McKinnon possibly getting a role as the receiving back, his long term upside is limited (saves $17) Cut Watkins and Parker - Already strong at WR and cap heavy there by keeping top 3, but worth it to play for current season (saves $18) Cut Olsen - probably my most "questionable" suggestion, but he is taking up cap space, when healthy Eifert a much better value and you can likely get servicable T in auction for cheaper (saves $21) Cut Chiefs - no point keeping a defense (saves $3) If you do all of that, you shave $83 off of your cap, putting you at $139 ($61 to spend) You have your RB, WR, Flex spots covered with one extra, meaning that Robinson or Miller is bench/flex each week. You have TE covered but needing insurance. You will need to address QB, K, D and youth in the auction. If you want to punt on going after any of the top rookies, then you could keep Olsen so your TE spot is covered, then you'd have $40 left to spend on QB, K, D and depth. The other alternative would be to do the above, keep Olsen but cut Lamar Miller. His price is a little high to value, and with the strength you have at WR and David Johnson, and with your lineup requirements, he will be on the bench quite a bit - If you do that you now have $67 to spend on QB, K, D and depth/youth, you just lose the slightly more sure thing of depth with Miller.
