I would agree that at the 2/3 turn you should grab wr/wr in a ppr league. No chance Wyane is there though. You will likely be able to grab S.Smith(Car), White, Colston with an outside shot that Jennings will still be there. Even if he is not you having MJD/S.Smith/White through 3 rds is outstanding I think.

Sounds pretty good and great job on explaining the league. Just my $.02 on a couple of things. 1. Trades should only be disallowed if collusion is involved as owners value players differently. Anytime the league is allowed to vote it can cause problems. 2. The trade deadline is way too early. Most leagues trade deadline is not until early Nov.

Okay we are in the final rounds of our 7 keeper draft and I am deciding who to take with my next to last pick before I take my kicker with my final pick.. Which one of these guys has the most upside and is there other possible players with good upside that you have seen go late in drafts that might be available in my draft. I was leaning toward B.Jackson b/c I am going to try and make a trade for R.Grant at some point. I think R.Grant is a good buy low candidate. That said I still want to grab the player with the most upside with this pick even if it is not Jackson. Thanks for the help. Oh might help 10 team, std scoring, non ppr. We start 1QB/2RB/3WR/1Flex(RB,WR,TE)/1TE/1K. My roster: QB: P.Manning/D.McNabb RB: M.Turner/W.Parker/P.Thomas/C.Wells/R.Mendenhall/R.Rice WR: Ca.Johnson/M.colston/Ochocinco/D.Driver/J.Morgan/J.Gage/M.Bradley TE: J.Whitten/V.Shiancoe K: have not picked one yet Thanks for the input guys.

I don't think Marshall or Boldin is a reality. B.Edwards on the other hand may very well be. With the latest news that he was out with Stallworth on "the night" does not go well for him staying in CLE. Mangini may see an opportunity to move him for some future picks to a team that is in great need of a WR. JMO

There are quite a few: E.Graham L.Betts K.Faulk L.Jordan J.Ringer® G.Johsson® K.Jones and several more further down the rankings. All the rookies but the two I listed are gone.

Your starting roster: D.Brees F.Gore/P.Thomas Ca.Johnson/M.Colston/R.White D.Ward D.Clark D.Akers CAR That is a very solid team. You don't have great depth but not bad. I would say this is a playoff team with good work during the season.

+1 I think this is a now brainer. Jackson is a good WR but no where near Smith.

Thanks for the help guys/girls I tried the help room first. Below is the link to my help room topic. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=345507

interested if that one doesn't work. therovers09@gmail.com

I am not on the Jones bandwagon either but trying to compare 05-08 Lions to the 08 CHI offensive line is I think he will be a great backup for Forte and since he already tweaked his hammy I do think he is a candidate for sophmore slump, ala Caddy. Never know but in that offense I am willing to take a late round flyer on Jones if he is there.

Keeper League question. 10 team league we kept 7 this year and are moving to keeping 10 next year. All TDs 6pts, non ppr, all else is standard. QB scoring is very heavy (top 12 scorers last year were QBs). We start 1QB/2RB/3WR/1Flex(RB,WR,TE)/1K We are through 4 rounds so basically, out side of some sleepers all top players are gone. Here is my team so far: QB P.Manning(Keeper) D.McNabb RB M.Turner(Keeper) P.Thomas(Keeper) C.Wells(drafted) R.Mendenhall(drafted) R.Rice(drafted) W.Parker(drafted) WR Ca.Johnson(Keeper) M.colston(Keeper) Ochocinco(Keeper) D.Driver(drafted) TE J.Whitten(acquired in trade) I only have late round picks that I am obviously going to go heavy WR, a backup TE and K. How do you think the team is so far? Any obvious trades?

I think it would be in you and your leagues best interest not to keep any players this season. One big reason is exactly what has happend already with Brady. If you are going to become a keeper league you should announce that before this years draft, set up the rules and redraft this year. I am a commish of 2 dynasty leagues, a redraft and a keeper league. You can send me a personal message and I would be glad to help with the conversion. You are wise to look out for loopholes as there are many in keeper leagues.

I think it is a great deal for both of you. Currently he should keep MJD/Slaton/CJ3/LT or Edwards. Since this is a keeper he is getting a top 7 dynasty RB and a top 10 dynasty WR for a top 5 dynasty RB. Moving forward he will be much better doing this trade as he will have Gore/Slaton/CJ3/Colston. For this year and future years I would much rather have: Gore/Slaton/CJ3/Colston than MJD/Slaton/CJ3/Edwards or LT2. It is obviously good for you since you would have to drop Colston and you are getting an upgrade at WR.

12 team dynasty league. All TDs 6pts, ppr, all else is standard. We start 1QB/2RB/3WR/1Flex(RB,WR,TE)/1TE/1K/1DST. I get: D.McFadden L.Evans L.Moore A.Gates 2010 2nd and 4th I give: Gore/Coffee TO O.Daniels What do you think?

Tried to grab Garcon a week ago but he is already gone. This is a 12 team with 26 roster spots so the ww if very slim. Omon is my weakest player but he has some good skills and with Lynch out 4 games making Jackson the starter you never know when Omon might get a shot. I plan on dropping him the 1st time there is a guy on the ww worth taking. I have moved up to 4th slot on the ww and I am going to pass on taking anyone right now based on hype to try to get the top spot by the start of the season so if a darkhorse emerges I will be in position to grab him. As far as draft picks they were give up to to take J.Stewart last season. I had to trade Stewart to start rebuilding. My only significant RBs before this were Bush/Lynch/Stewart. I parlayed Warner/Bush/Stewart into Jacobs/Grant/Rice/Bennett. Then turned Manning/AJ/Holt/Jacobs into McNabb/Kolb/Pennington/Gore/Coffee/85/TO/B.Celek/2010 3rd. This gives me two 3rd rd picks and two 4th rd picks. I am trying to grab as many picks by seasons end that I can. If I can get 2-4 2nd rd picks I feel like I can turn them into a couple of 1st rd picks. In addition, I needed some help this year and I think Gore is a top 6 dynasty RB in a ppr format. I hated giving up Manning but in our league QBs don't score hardly any points and the drop from Manning to McNabb is not to great. I hated giving up AJ but his value will never be higher and I think getting 85 and TO will help a lot the next couple of years w/o killing me long-term. I obviously had to take some risks to start rebuilding and 85/TO/Grant/Gore are all guys that we nice buy below value guys and Manning/AJ/Jacobs are all guys that are valued too high right now in my opinion. If I could get B.Edwards or Marshall I would do that as well. Im telling you this thing was a reck but I feel like with the changes I have made it can make the playoffs and then anything can happen. As far as long-term I think I am in better shap than I was.

The bad news is we already had our draft. This is a team I inherited and the 1st and 2nd rd picks had already been traded. I got D.Moore in the 3rd and trade my late 4th for J.Hardy earlier in the off season.

I think Walter is your guy. He is on a solid offense w/a true #1, good TE and a good QB. He will be facing a ton of single coverage and should be a low end ff #3 WR in my opinion so he will be nice as your #4. Branch would be my last choice due to all the health concerns and TJ is now the man in SEA.

By the way here are the two rosters: My Roster: QBs: McNabb/K.Kolb/C.Pennington/K.Orton RBs: F.Gore/M.Lynch/R.Grant/R.Rice/K.Faulk/F.Jackson/B.Jackson/G.Coffee/D.Moore/A.Foster/X.Omon WRs: TO/Ochocinco/M.Clayton(BAL)/E.Bennett/J.Morgan/C.Schilens/J.Hardy TEs: O.Daniels/B.Celek K: S.Gostkowski DST: PIT His Roster: QBs: Romo/Cutler RBs: A.Peterson/M.Turner/D.Williams/B.Westbrook/D.McFadden/C.Taylor/J.Norwood/L.Booker/C.Buckhalter/J.Forsett WRs: R.Wayne/B.Marshall/D.Bowe/L.Evans/L.Moore/T.Ginn Jr./M.Walter TEs: A.Gates/J.Carlson K: N.Folk DST: SDC/GB In our league QBs do not score a ton (1pt/40 pass yds and -2/INT) and DST score quite a bit (BAL was the top DST last season and was the #9 highest scorer). Obviously his team is stacked but he really likes Gore. Is there a trade to be had?

I am glad to hear that b/c that is about how I felt. The other owner also has Bowe is there a trade I could counter with that would sway your opinion and the other owner would accept?

Hey Cuse9's I appreciate some insight on this. 12 team dynasty league. All TDs 6pts, ppr, all else is standard. We start 1QB/2RB/3WR/1Flex(RB,WR,TE)/1TE/1K/1DST. I get: D.McFadden L.Evans L.Moore A.Gates 2010 2nd and 4th I give: Gore/Coffee TO O.Daniels What do you think for this year and the future?

Well obviously it depends on your league scoring format and starters but I assume it is something like: 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1K/1DST. If so your starters: A.Rogers Forte/Portis Jennings/Marshall/Jackson Daniels Elam NYJ That is a very solid redraft team my friend. The only concern I have is Marshall as your #2. He is a huge risk/reward in a redraft with a possible holdout looming. That said Jackson would still make a very good #2 and then Breaston is a solid #3. You have L.White as your RB3 or flex if your league also requires it but based on the roster size I am betting no flex is used. Overall great job though you have top players at all key position.

Sorry I thought you would pm me. If its not taken Im in if someone else has already stepped in I understand. Bye the way I like woodchuckchuck.... lol I sent you an email.

I will take it, love a good challenge. Shoot me a message.

I think you are right on with your keepers. Most will prob not agree on Rice but I like the guy to be the man in BAL. The only prob is L.McClain is prob going to take TDs from him. As receivers go Ochocinco is in line for a great year so I could see keeping him over Rice not to mention I think you could get Rice back in the draft if you like him but I doubt Ochocinco will make it down to the 8th spot.
