Crabtree or Harvin?

Alright guys, question for you.

14 team keeper league, Non-PPR. To keep a player, you must give up a pick 4 rounds higher than where you drafted that player the year before and free agent pick-ups are not keeper eligible, so there aren't many viable options.

I am thinking about targeting either Crabtree or Harvin near the end of the draft to give me a good keeper option next year, with a possible bonus of a late season return that I would not be counting on.

Which guy would you target, of those 2? I am not sure which one is safer at this point.

This really is a tough call to me because Harvin has so much more upside, but there just always seems to be something wrong with him. There is no way he will ever play 16 games in a season. Crabtree really had a breakout year last year and was a monster with Kaep quarterbacking. I honestly think that Crabtree is the safer bet at this point although, I admit it, I am a sucker and end up drafting Harvin's "potential" every year even though he ends up making me regret it most of the time. Drafing potential can cause you to win a league, but it will more than likely cause you to lose it. Drafting consistency is always a better idea.

I slightly disagree..I think you need a very fine tuned balance between the two..and the longer you olay, and more attention you pay, the easier it gets to find the right potential. But, no matter how good anyone is, we all miss on some of the "potential" guys.

I would have a really hard time keeping both, but 1 I think I can manage with 5 bench spots. If one of them were dropped, they would no longer be keeper eligible, which is kind of the point, because I don't see either player being more than a desperation play in this year's fantasy playoffs. I think both will be eased back in slowly.

I am torn because I feel like Harvin has more long term upside, but I also feel like he is more injury prone. One of the reasons I feel like I can make this work is because I have Alfred Morris as an 11th round keeper. I always like to draft a lottery ticket WR and an RB between rounds 12-15 who I hopefully never need to play. Why not one of these guys?

Yeah in my keeper we can keep 2 but I have 6 bench spots and we are thinking about an IR spot and that's why I asked. Also, our 2 keepers count as rounds 1-2.................to me Crabby would be the safer bet.

Thanks for the input guys. Difficult decision for sure. Maybe I will wait to let the room make the decision for me.

Wil,

I may have missed something, but have invites been sent out for the MBBRL? The email account. I gave you is semi-defunct.

You mean 2nd draft................................never been in an auction league but I hear they are a blast.......good luck Will of White

 

[wilwhite]

Well, not much came easy in my draft today. Let me know what you think:

12-team PPR

QB - Dalton
RB - Forte
WR - AJ Green
WR - Amendola
WR - DJAX
RB/WR/TE - Steve Smith
RB/WR/TE - Witten
DST - Pats
K - Walsh

(The two flexes have to be different positions.)

Bench
Alex Smith
Bernard
BJGE
Stacy
Shoelace
Antonio Brown
Vincent Brown

 

[wilwhite]

Invites to the MBBRL will come this week.

 

[tlance]

Invites to the MBBRL will come this week.

Thanks.

Looks like you have a ridiculous amount of receptions on that team, which will make up for the lack of TD makers. I think it is solid, but I would be on the lookout for a breakout QB in case Dalton regresses a little.

 

[TREFF]

Sorry Will..but that looks awfully rough to me. Love AJ Green and Forte in a PPR..probably Witten too...but the rest are guys I'm straying away from personally. Strong Bench though with Law Firn, Stacy, and the Brown's

Best of luck to ya there

Also, I would definitely start A. Brown ahead of DJAx most weeks. He should get twice as many targets as DJax.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

I've been on and off with fantasy the past couple of weeks. getting ready to go full throttle here shortly.

Where am I at again on the MBBRL landscape?

 

[wilwhite]

Monkey, you're a proud long-standing member of the MBBRL B League.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Off for a weekend, and the football boards blow up! Time is approaching!

Will, I'm scared of DJAX, but like the rest. How much did you spend for Giovanni?

 

[wilwhite]

Got Gio for $10 ($200 budget).

Really wanted Megatron but he went for $68 which was a little too much for me. AJ Green was $49.

wow..I really don't see that big of a difference between Green and Calvin. Someone drastically over payed I think. I'd say you got Green at about the right number.

Wow 1/3 of the budget on Calvin. That's a bit of a reach, glad you didn't stay in that bidding war, AJ will seem like a steal at $19 less.
