How should I approach draft day in keeper league?

Recommended Posts

Hey all, I draft this weekend and would like some opinions on my draft strategy. This is an 8 team PPR, 6 keeper league. Through various trades and such, I have no 1st round pick, but I have 2 3rd round picks, and 2 4th round picks.

We also have a deep bench of 10 spots on top of our start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 flex, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D/ST

 

My keepers

Brady

Crowell

Ingram

AP

Baldwin

B.Cooks

 

Should I look at draft day like round 1 is equivalent to round 7 in full redraft league drafts since we keep 6? And then construct my roster based on best player available/needs and proceed like normal?

 

I've thought about trying to stock up on handcuffs and possible rookie breakouts, especially at RB using my extra picks.

 

Or should I reach for players using the extra picks to fill my bye weeks on starters early in the draft and use later picks on possible handcuffs and sleepers?

 

Or do I reach for a top D/ST with an extra pick?

Keeper leagues are just like any other league for the most part. Build the best team you can for this year. You can reach for a guy who has upside for next year a little bit, but don't reach too much. We hardly have any idea what's going to happen this year, let alone next year. Good teams, will have good keepers. In the late rounds, draft for upside, rather than a WR who may make two spot starts for you. You should be doing that in a redraft league anyways, but it's more important in a keeper.
