Keeper Question

[TK21775]

12 team, roster QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, DEF, K, W/R, W/R/T, D and 6 bench spots; drafting last, you keep up to 4; if you keep you lose the chance to draft so if keep 4 you're drafting in the 5th round. Would you keep any, I was leaning towards no but with it being so deep do you hang onto Brown and Allen?

Andy Dalton
Antonio Brown
Keenan Allen
Golden Tate
Frank Gore
Trent Richardson
Ryan Griffin
Andre Caldwell
MJD
Robert Woods
Andre Brown
Zach Ertz
Garrett Graham
Josh McCown
Edwin Baker
Reggie Wayne
Steven Hauschka
Miami Def
Jon Beason (D)

If you keep two, are they your 1st and 2nd picks, or can you make them your 3rd and 4th?

 

[TKOSpikes]

The only two I'd think about would be Antonio Brown and Frank Gore, but if they would have to be my first two picks, I wouldn't do it.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Brown and Allen are definitely the only 2 that I would consider keeping in that format, but since you have the last pick, I'd probably only keep Brown, figuring Allen would be there for you if you wanted to redraft him. Of course you would be hoping for a decent RB to be available more so than Allen.

That TRich pick in the first round (or if he was kept) last year = rough!

 

[TK21775]

1st keeper is your 1st rd pick, 2nd is 2nd, etc.

 

[tlance]

You have the last pick, but will any other teams have 0 keepers?

You could have the first pick. To answer your question, I would need to know who is available in the re-draft. Will there be anyone better than Brown and Allen?

 

[wilwhite]

I don't think you can keep anybody. The likelihood that you drop Antonio and someone else has zero keepers and takes Antonio and nobody else dropped is better is remote.

It's difficult to define exactly without knowing what the other guys are doing. But if we assume they will average 2/team, that's 22 of the better players gone before it gets to you. That said and with your 12 draft position, you really have to keep Brown and Allen. If for some reason, Ryan Griffin is actually RG3 then I might consider him as well.

Not RGIII, TE for Texans

And it doesn't look like you can see what the other owners will do until deadline has passed; that's why I'm debating not keeping anyone as it would potentially give me the first pick or a couple picks in a row if every team keeps at least 2. Worst case I'd be able to grab Brown or Allen back if they're the best but looking at some teams they'd have more than 4 guys I'd keep if it were my roster

 

[wilwhite]

TK, I completely agree with that approach.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Yeah, no way I'm keeping any of those as a 1st rounder.

 

[TREFF]

Yeah, no way I'm keeping any of those as a 1st rounder.

Keepers are starting to be selected so got a tougher choice I believe. A Brown was the #9 overall points leader in this league last season due to getting 1 pt per reception. Names that are available to take are Doug Martin, Julius Thomas, Randall Cobb, J. Cameron and R. Wilson. Knowing that's who I have to choose from would it be better to just keep Brown? If you keep a player you forfeit that pick so 4 keepers means you don't pick until the 5th round. 1 team is only keeping 1 guy so that means currently w/o keeping anyone I'd have the 1st and 3rd pick overall. I'm a Martin fan but don't know if he's better than Brown at this point

 

[TKOSpikes]

If Martin is a the best out there, then yeah I'd keep Brown and Gore. I must have missed the PPR part, so Brown gets s bump.

 

[Xponentialchaos]

I wouldn't keep anyone in your format.

Actually, wait. You should keep Edwin Baker, Steven Hauschka, and Garrett Graham. Seriously though, I don't think it was necessary to post your entire roster.

 

[Barilko]

If you think everyone is keeping 2 then i do not keep any
however if you have some doubts in how many are kept then
The only one i would keep is Antonio B

3 teams still left to put their picks in, 1 team is only keeping 1 guy, 2 teams only keeping 2 and the rest are keeping between 3 and 4

Draft is tonight, didn't keep anyone as was waiting to see if Ball was going to be kept or not, league has 1 pt per reception and I have first 2 picks, then the 9th and 10th. Who would you take with your 1st 2?

A Brown
Cobb
Gronk
Cruz
Patterson
Roddy

RB:
Ellington
Morris
Gore
Richardson
CJ

I'm thinking that with a deep roster, start 12 and have 6 bench that I should target a few upside rookies since I'm basically starting over with my roster? Target Hyde late, along with Watkins or Ebron perhaps? Any other rookies that I could stash that you expect to break out next season or two?

 

[TKOSpikes]

Top two on the list looks like 200 catches...not a bad start.

I like Brown and Cobb as your top 2, the RB's are all "meh"..
As to your rookies question. I would target Brandin Cooks way way before Watkins, also look for Mathews, Benjamin, M. Lee, D. Adams, and Evans. But my favorite, other than Cooks, is Cody Lattimore.

One other note, a guy I really like at the extreme back end of PPR leagues is Cole Beasley.. basically in the molds of Wes Welker/Julian Edelman, but without the name value... yet.
