Finn5033 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I’d like some thoughts on my keeper situation. Please see below league is a 12 team non ppr league. I can keep one of these guys for 1 more year and it doesn’t cost me anything. Help me choose one Kittle - I like the thought of keeping him because as we all know top tier TE’s are slim Metcalf - Like the thought of keeping him because obviously he is a stud and I think still ascending but there are lots of good WR’s C. Akers - Came on nicely at the end of last season and is primed for a workhorse role. After the 1st two rounds all of the RB’s are gone J. Rob - I don’t really think he is in consideration anymore, just too many question marks. Being that it doesn’t cost me a pick I think value wise Akers is the choice seeing as where he has been going in drafts. I think Metcalf is the safest, I don’t have to choose now obviously and I don’t know where I’m picking yet either. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Shaft Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 What does the rest of your roster look like? What happens to the players you don't keep? Are they put back into a redraft pool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Non-PPR, assuming relatively standard lineup requirements and assuming this is your only keeper, I think Akers is likely the best choice, but: 1. Do you know your draft slot yet? 2. If yes, who do you think the best players available will be at your pick? More than likely I'd say keep Akers, but if for example you have the #1 pick and an owner has Barkley and Cook so can only keep one, and you don't like the WRs coming back to you, you could keep Metcalf then use the #1 pick on whichever of Barkley/Cook isn't kept. Obviously this is a very specific scenario, but it's a step you should look at to maximize the value on your roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def. Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 What's the starter reqs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Sorry I should have given a little more info. Every team only keeps one player. You can’t keep first rd picks from the prior year or guys that were keepers the prior year. So essentially everyone of the top picks will be available in rd 1. I don’t know where I’m picking yet. Starting line ups are QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1 flex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def. Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 WRs are diminished by the starting reqs, no ppr, and general availability so Metcalf is out for me. 2 RB leagues generally create a high demand on the position due to the lack of availability, even more so if it's common for teams to use a 3rd in the flex. Akers is the clear choice to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn5033 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Thanks guys, I agree with you. In this league there are usually no useful RBs left by half way through the second rd. As nice as it would be to keep Kittle or Metcalf I think Akers has to be the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zing Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Definitely Akers. I think he will be top 5 in fantasy this year. He finished strong last year and now they have a better QB. I have him in my 2 dynasty leagues, and I am keeping him in my 1-keeper redraft league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Yes, easily Akers. You can end up with two RB1s, maybe 3, depending on your drafting spot and strategy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4pac Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Akers has a very good chance to be a top 5 RB with year. Kittle and Metcalf are great...but you don’t pass that type of potential at RB up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Akers is the choice here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertKid2020 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Ouch that's a tough one but I agree with everyone. Ultimately the RB and TE position is the position that is highly viewed as the most important to cover because there aren't many RBs and TEs that can produce at a high level. Kittles is awesome but the QB position is gloomy in San Fran and Kittle may suffer because of the QB scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Well I need to revive this thread since Akers is out. I think it comes down to Kittle or Metlcalf. I’m torn on Keeping Kittle now since there seems to be some doubt that Jimmy G will still be there and start. If it ends up being Lance I think Kittle could be a safety blanket for him. Metcalf I know what I’ll get and it will be good any other thoughts here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXFootBaller Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I would stay with Kittle. He could be #1 TE. Surely top 3 (barring injury). You can always draft Metcalf or someone with similar upside. Will be hard pressed to get a top tier TE. SF has the best QB strength of schedule this year and 2nd best TE strength of schedule this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo22 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I like Metcalf, Kittle gets hurt and has more competition this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m leaning this way now. Metcalf is definitely the more reliable option which is what I need especially since it’s not a PPR league. It’s a 12 team league if my pick is in the back half of the 1st rd I’m going to try and get Kelce with my 2nd rd pick. If my pick is in the 1st half of the rd I may change course and keep Kittle. So basically right now it’s going to come down to where I draft Edited August 24, 2021 by Finn5033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
