Partial Keep League.. Ronnie Brown or Torry Holt?

[Candikane 0]

Hey everybody. I'm in a fantasy league with 8 players total, including myself. We're doing a "partial-keeper" league this year and keeping 5 players off our last years team. So far I have:

 

Shaun Alexander

Carson Palmer

Antonio Gates

Steve Smith

 

My question for you is..

 

With my 5th slot, do I keep Ronnie Brown, or Torry Holt?

 

From all I hear, RBs make more points than WRs.. but Holt is SOO HARD TO DROP!! I was also offered a 3rd round/4th pick for Ronnie Brown.. but keep in mind with an 8 person league and 5 keepers per person.. the 3rd round probably doesn't have much talent left!! IF the call is so close, I can choose Holt and still gain something from Brown in a trade rather than just dropping him.. I'm so confused! Please help!

Brown's got no competition for his job now that Williams is out of the picture. He's just shy of top 10 on almost all the boards.

Holt is being taken just ahead of him in the drafts, and is likely to get you more points overall.

 

Bottom line; IF you can pick up a second quality back in the draft, then make the trade and keep Holt. If you're going to be scraping the barrel for RBs, then keep Brown and start looking for a WR to pick up. That's the best I can do with with the information you gave.

 

I'm looking for help with mine.

Don't keep Palmer and then keep both of them.

What more information do you need? I pick 8th in the first round, 1st in the 2nd, 8th in the 3rd.. etc. -- That's why I'm worried about dropping Brown because I'm not sure how great of an RB I can grab. Here's the Stats on the League's Scoring..

You HAVE to protect a young RB over an aging WR. Keep Brown, you already have Steve Smith. You can draft another WR to fill Holt's spot.

I think you should keep both Brown and Holt. As long as your league doesnt start 2QBs I would let Palmer go QBs are a dime a dosen in an eight team league.

8 team league with 5 keepers per team though! That's a potential 7 QBs down, not including myself. With the 8th draw in the first round, I could set myself up for a really bad QB.

My other concern that I probably should have noted is that we aren't announcing our keepers until 30 mins before drafting, and all will be announced at once. That leaves me with wonder about what RBs will be left. Are talented WRs more widespread and easier to come across than talented RBs? By talented I mean worth even having as a starter. Should I try to trade Holt? What's he worth?

 

Our league does 1-for-1 trading.. meaning you can't trade 2 guys for 1... but you could trade 2 good guys for the 1 great guy and just take a 2nd dumper to make it even (or a draft spot!)

I would drop Palmer, and keep Brown and Holt. I think you could have a shot at getting Palmer with your pick. QB should not be an issue in a 8 team league

[ALsportsnut 0]

I agree with dumping your QB. Palmer is not going to be the same Palmer of old.

 

I would keep both Brown and Holt. If anything, bump Gates out of there if you keep Palmer.
