With 30 players off the board after the keepers, you have to keep Brees. I would then keep two of your WRs between AJ, Keenan, and Alshon. I would rank them in that order, but I think pretty highly of Keenan. You do well keeping any of the two of the three.

I would lean towards those in red as keepers. Drafting 9th with each team keeping 3 I think those are the least likely for you to replace their potential production. Normally I'm not keen on keeping QB's but Brees is always in the top 3-4.
AJ is probably ranked higher than Jeffery but all indication are that the Bengals will become more of a run based team, not so with the Bears. In truth you could go with him and be just fine since you may actually have a better chance to redraft Jeffery.

I'd say the only legit options are Brees, Ellington, Mathews, Green, Jeffery, Allen. The rest you would have at least an outside chance at redrafting, if you really want them on your team. Can't release Brees for at least a few more seasons, Saints just pass the ball too much and he's too good to lose/replace.

My vote is Ellington and Green.

AJ is probably ranked higher than Jeffery but all indication are that the Bengals will become more of a run based team,

My guess is we aren't seeing 10+ TDs from Marvin Jones this year. As long as Dalton is QB, I feel like AJ will still get his share, regardless of the system. I like the Ellington pick, and I would have a hard time keeping Mathews, Jeffery or Allen over him. And then when it comes to your pick in the first round, you can take best available WR/RB, and not feel forced into reaching for one or the other due to position of your keepers.

Ellington seems to have the stars aligning for a big year, and RB is always a hard spot to fill in a keeper league. I'd stash Ellington or Mathews if I were you, pick which ever one you like best.

I'm with Fuzzy. Breed is an absolute must. So is A.J.G. That leaves two very good #2 WR or take a chance on Ellington. I would double up my workouts and probably choose Allen over Jeffery too, as crazy as that may sound.

Brees and AJ Green with out blinking an eye lash. Then it would be between Gerhart and Jeffery for me with Gerhart taking home the cake because he will get the full load and all of the goal line carries and he is sporting a 7.9 or something like that yards per carry average from last year. He might be the top player I am most interested in and looking forward to his performance for this upcoming year. I can't wait to see what he does this year!!!

I don't like not keeping an RB, but Brees, Green and Jeffrey are your best players hands down. That is who I would keep. Just make sure you draft some RBs early.

im with Tlance... Brees Green Jeffrey.......3 studs hands down........
i do like Allen and i do like keeping a Rb

however AJG is pure stud whether Cincy runs or not
Brees ...well is Brees

and Alshon is pure stud in the making ..especially with Trestman utilizing Cutlers gun and Marshall running down the field beside him...

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

As Fuzzies mentioned, if 30 studs come off the block as keepers, if you're drafting 9th, then it's more like you're drafting 39th. And based on ADP, unless you have an owner or two loaded at RB, then you may be looking at getting Gerhart back with the 9th (39th) pick.

I like the idea of keeping Brees and either Jeffery or Green. As for Ellington or Mathews, maybe you don't really feel very strongly about keeping either? But like I said above (and as Lefty and others pointed out), you could be hard pressed for a RB.

So you could lean toward Brees, Jeffery and Green. Maybe someone will offer you a stud RB for one of your WR?

There's no way I could let Jeffrey go back into the pool. Brees, AJ and Alshon if it were up to me.

if trades are allowed before keepers are set i would try hard to get a top 12 RB, you will need one... Maybe trade AJ Green for leveon bell(just an example)... By doing this it will give you a top RB, and you have other WR to choose from even if they are of lesser caliber to Green... then you would be keeping Brees,RB, Allen/jefferey

But if no trade is available or if you can not make a trade, then the 3 i would keep are breed, AJ, and allen...

I agree with the trade part, but Allen is merely a good player. Alshon Jeffrey is an elite talent and on another level.

keeping jeffery over allen is fine with me... i just prefer allen right now... but that is me... i can see why people like jeffery more... and again i will always prefer a WR1 over a WR2, if both WR are ranked similarly...
