I'm in a 12 team PPR keeper league. I can keep up to 3 of the following, but lose a pick for the round of the player I'm keeping. Also, I have the 9th pick in the draft (4th pick in 2nd round, etc...). Who would you suggest keeping?

A Johnson- 1st round
McFadden- 2nd round
D Murray- 2nd round
Welker- 4th round
F Jackson- 5th round
J Graham- 7th round

I'm pretty set on Welker & Graham. But going back & forth on DMC and Jackson. I had so many injuries last year that i don't know if I want to take that risk, but McFadden when healthy is a beast especially in PPR. Jackson had an amazing year, but also coming of injury is risky. Considered Murray too, but seems a little high to keep him (2nd round).

Graham and Welker are givens based on value I think. McFadden or FJax is a tougher decision. I would try to sit down and figure out who everyone else will be keeping. By doing this, you can figure out who the best 13 available players in the draft might be. If you like the combo of players you can get at #9 and #13, then I'd lean towards keeping FJax. If you don't like what's available, then maybe you keep the higher upside of McFadden.

After looking over who may be available, I'm not sure I'm going to get any better than DMC with my 9th overall pick, much less my 2nd round pick. Its the 2nd year of our keeper league, so lots of people will be keeping their 1st and/or 2nd round pick from last year I'm sure.
Jackson may be a better value, he's going in like the 2nd and 3rd rounds now, and I could keep him for a 5th round pick. But McFadden, if healthy, could be one of the best RB. But thats a big if it seems.
I'm still undecided on which of those to keep.
Anyone else have advice?

I'd take the chance on McFadden. No way you'd pick a back of his potential in the 2nd round, especially in a keeper league.

DMC over Jackson. Murray is going in the 2nd so it might be reasonable if you weren't on DMC. I'd avoid Jackson, the 5th round seems like a steal for him, but I think he may have hit the peak last year. He definitely will not see as much of the offensive touches as last year though.

Well we can only keep a player for max of 3 yrs. This is the 2nd season of the league, so thats why its so tough... And I didn't make these rules and I'm not crazy about them

Jackson has been going in 2nd & 3rd rounds, so 5th is a good pick to give up for him. He saved my team last year, since I had McFadden & A Johnson on bench, and then he got hurt. Along with Murray. All 3, McFadden, Jackson, and Murray are injury risk, but of course anyone could get injured. I'd keep McFAdden & Jackson, but that would mean not keeping Welker or Graham, and they are too valuable at where I have them, especially in a PPR. I guess I need to see how preseason goes. BUt I can't make up my mind between McFadden/Murray for 2nd, or Jackson for 5th... ANyone else have any insight?

I'd go DMC. As stated, when healthy, few are better, and his handcuff will be dirt cheap in the event he does go down.

Who is DMC's handcuff?

Good question, now that Bush is gone who else do they have at RB?
