  1. The Bears are Back

    Sanchez vs Weeden... Yes, I'm serious!

    I'd go Weeden. With T-Rich banged up they may throw more than they normally would have.
  2. The Bears are Back

    Which 2 to start this week?

    Chris Johnson @ BUF Doug Martin vs. NO James Jones @STL Kenny Britt @BUF Antonio Brown @CIN standard scoring. At least one of the two needs to be a RB.
  3. The Bears are Back

    Have to reach at RB. Which would you take?

    My other option would be to keep Foster, but that would cost me my first 2 picks (#8 & 13). And I would have to decide which one of the other three to not keep.
  4. The Bears are Back

    I will answer all questions

    Can you take a look at my situation? http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=405068 Thanks!

    Have to reach at RB. Which would you take?

    10 team 3-keeper league (lose the pick 2 rounds earlier than player was drafted last year), standard scoring, start QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, K, D My keepers are Stafford in the 5th round, Cruz in the 14th, and Antonio Brown in the 15th. So I want to go RB-RB with my first two picks. Top keepers on other teams include: Matthews, Gronk, Graham, Murray, Sproles, FJax I draft 8th. I'm really hoping CJ2K or McFadden make it that far, but I expect the draft to go something like this: 1) A-Rod 2) Foster 3) Rice 4) McCoy 5) CJ 6) CJ2K 7) DMC 8) ?? The #6 and #7 teams likely won't take Brady or Brees based on their keepers and history. If they do, then one of my 2 targets will make it to me. There is a not a ton of trading in this league, so taking one of the QB's and making a trade probably wouldn't get me fair value. So- my options are below: Forte Charles Lynch AP Trent MJD SJAX Martin I don't think any of them are worthy of the #8 spot, but I think I will have to reach for one of them... and hopefully get another on the way back. How would you rank that list?

    Trent Richardson - 6th overall?

    What are your thoughts on Forte? Granted, I'm a homer, but I feel like he's one of the safest pickls in the 8-15 range. Sure, Bush will get the GL carries, but Forte never converts those anyway. He's usually good for a good chunk of receiving yards, and with Marshall in the fold there may be more room to run. I pick 8th this year as well. I'm hoping CJ falls to me but I'm considering Forte if he doesn't. Then maybe Richardson or DMC coming back. My league is only 10 teams though, so you might not have that option.

    Who to keep?

    I actually really want to agree with you, I just wish there were less questions with the RBs that will be available. Of the guys you listed, Forte is the most solid in my opinion, but his upside is limited by his poor goal line performance and the presence of Bush. all the other guys have serious question marks. If I knew CJ would make it to #8, I think I would feel better. I'm not super high on him, but I think he will improve from last year and be good value. I guess MJD would be OK at #8 as well.

    Who to keep?

    Any more thoughts after I posted the above info? I'm still leaning towards keeping Foster with the #8 & 13 picks. I'd have Foster, Stafford, and Cruz. With the 28th and 33rd pick I'd take the best RB and WR available. #48 pick would be Stafford, then at #53, 68, 73 I can get a 3rd solid WR and a couple upside RBs. Then I'd take Tate if still available at #88, and either a TE or more WR/RB depth at #93. Basically, my starting lineup and beginning of the bench would look like this: QB: Stafford RB: Foster RB: #28 (SJAX?) WR: Cruz WR: #33 (Dez Bryant?) WR/RB: #53 (VJAX?) TE: #93 (Tamme?) Bench: #68 (Starks?) Bench: #73 (Best?) Bench: #88 (hopefully Tate)

    Who to keep?

    I'll do the first 3, since a 3rd round pick last year = 1st round pick this year. !st from last year = 1st & 2nd. 2nd round last year = 1st & 3rd this year. Order 2011 1st 2011 2nd 2011 3rd 1 Roddy White Aaron Rodgers Mark Ingram 2 Andre Johnson Micheal Turner Phillip Rivers 3 Chris Johnson Greg Jennings Drew Brees 4 Michael Vick Darren McFadden Ahmad Bradshaw 5 LeSean McCoy Mendenhall Blount 6 Ray Rice Steven Jackson Forte 7 Jamaal Charles Larry Fitz Vjax 8 Arian Foster Hakeem Nicks Gates 9 Calvin Johnson Jones Drew Mike Wallace 10 Adrian Peterson Tom Brady Frank Gore sorry for the bad formatting Additionally, as mentioned above, the following possible top 30 guys will almost certainly be kept using later round picks. Ryan Matthews Marshawn Lynch Cam Newton Gronk wes Welker Demarco Murray AJ Green Jordy Nelson Jimmy Graham Julio Jones Fred Jackson Aaron Hernandez

    Who to keep?

    That's exactly the question I'm struggling with. There is more potential with the #8 and #13 picks, but also more risk. If I keep Foster, I would reach to make sure I get Tate earlier that his ADP (if his owner doesn't use his 10th round pick to keep him). Then I have one stud RB locked in all season (in theory).

    This is indeed only the second year of this league since we switched from redraft to keeper. I think it's safe to say that there's no chance of me getting Foster at #8, unless all 7 guys before me burn their pick on a keeper. The guys in my league are generally pretty conservative, so I would expct that they don't burn 2 of their top picks on keepers. You guys are right that I need to sit down and really analyze who is likely to be kept. A quick analysis makes me think picks 1-4 will not keep their top picks from last year, so they will be drafting in that round. #5 has McCoy, and would be facing the same decision I am- Is McCoy worth #5 and #15? #6 is facing the same question with Ray Rice. Top 25ish players I expect to be kept (because of lower draft positions last year) include Matthews, Lynch, Cam, Gronk, Welker, Murray, AJ Green, Jordy. With the exceptions of Rice and McCoy above, the owners of the top studs are picking in the top 4, so I expect them to take their chances in the draft.

    Who to keep?

    You're probbaly right... so I'll go Foster, Stafford, Cruz. Pretty nice nucleus! This is our first year switching to a keeper league, so I definitely haven't adjusted my thinking completely! I was going for the homerun with a guy like Williams instead of the smart move. Thanks for your help!

    Who to keep?

    Well, when you put it that way it does seem pretty simple. My draft was pretty awful last year. My top 6 last year (Round 1 picks cost you this years 1&2. Round 2 costs you 1&3) 1) Arian Foster (wil cost 1&2) 2) Nicks - traded 3) Gates 4) Felix Jones 5) Harvin 6) Beanie Wells - Traded Going through all that makes me wonder, should I keep Foster and give up my first 2 picks? They would be #8 and 13 overall. I wouldn't get my second pick until #28 overall.
  14. The Bears are Back

    Who to keep?

    That was my first thought, but his ADP is in the 70s, so I'm not really gaining much there. I was thinking Cook (who is projected as #10 TE in some rankings) might be good value. Or Ryan Williams, who likely would go in round 12 or so.

    Thank you... but I still need one more player. We keep 3.
