Keeper dilemma

Recommended Posts

So I'm in a 12-team PPR league that allows up to two keepers, in exchange for the draft pick in the round you took them originally. Anyone drafted in round 10 or below, or picked up off free agency, costs your 10th round pick. Draft position is picked randomly 30 minutes before the draft, so no way to know if I'll be picking early or late in any given round.

 

Here are my keeper choices, listed tentatively in my order of preference:

 

Doug Martin - 4th round

Jamaal Charles - 2nd round

Brandon Marshall - 5th round

Russell Wilson - 10th round

Arian Foster - 1st round

 

Martin for a 4th-round pick is a no-brainer, but after that I'm a little less sure. Charles will no doubt be a 1st rounder this year, so taking him for a 2nd is what I'm leaning toward. On the other hand, with this being a PPR league, Marshall puts up excellent numbers, especially relative to a 5th round pick. The last two are more long shots I think: Wilson would be a gamble, and taking Foster in exchange for my 1st round pick is sort of a wash. Unless I draw a really late 1st-round pick, but there's no way to tell.

 

Anyone have any other thoughts on these options?

I think there's no ques you go with Charles & Martin. Grab a stud WR @ #1 and your QB @ #3. You got yourself a helluva team nomatter what -

I think you've got them in the right order:

 

Martin is easy

Charles is a good choice

Marshall isn't a bad choice

Meh

No

My initial thought is Martin/Charles. The increased value of Marshall's 5th round is tempting but landing 2 of the top 6 rated RB's in a PPR setting puts you at a huge advantage.
