Keeper question: Brees or Andre Johnson? (0.25PPR)

[ben4uf 0]

Alright, so this is the first year we are doing keepers in my 10 team league and I won last year so I get last pick in the draft. But I have some solid players that I can keep, however I'm unsure of who to keep between Brees and Andre Johnson. I've read you generally never keep a QB unless absolute top tier (Brady, Brees, Manning) but not sure if Brees outweighs a top 3 WR in AJ.

 

We can keep 3 players, one drafted in rnd 1-5 (AJ or Brees for me), one from round 6-10 (keeping G.Jennings) and one from round 11+ (keeping P.Thomas from waivers).

 

I'm dead set on Jennings and PT so I will have a very solid WR and RB to start but going back and forth about Brees or AJ. Standard scoring aside from 0.25 PPR so a little more value on AJ. So far not counting me, 5 teams are keeping a QB and 5 also keeping a WR - RBs are really being kept with 9 teams keeping a RB and 4 keeping 2 RBs. Another item to note is we start 1QB, 3 WRs, 2 RBs, 1 flex, 1 TE, 1K, 1Def. So theoretically we can start up to 4 WRs, 3 required.

 

Given this info and the fact that I am drafting last (10th and then 11th pick), do I keep Brees or AJ?

 

Some of the top available players bound to go in first round are:

 

Brees or AJ

Brady

Manning

Westbrook

Jacobs

Wayne

Smith

Portis

Boldin

Colston

Barber

TO

 

Thanks for any input and leave link and I will help you out!

Greg Jennings in the 6th round? PThomas in the 11th? in 10 team league... Perhaps I don't understand anyway

 

QB,WR,RB as keeper is pretty solid coverage although you've got wayne,colston,AJ and jennings as elite wr any of those could be #1 this year.

i got to keep those guys based on where i drafted them last year (PT was waiver wire since he was nobody before). obviously jennings would go much higher this year if i didnt keep him, but he flew under the radar last.

so, im starting to think about keeping AJ more and more. im thinking if i let go of brees i can still pick up a decent qb in the range of mcnabb, warner, romo or rodgers. but if i keep brees and let go of AJ i may drop to someone like TO or Housh for my other WR.

 

any other opinions? not asking for a rate my league, just based on the info i provided which player is the smarter pick for a keeper, stud WR AJ or stud QB Brees?

i would keep AJ w/o question. who knows maybe one of the elite 3 will fall to you. if not you can get a rodgers, schaub, mcnabb, or rivers.

First off.......thanks for posting on mine

 

as for yours.... I would go with a AJ, you would have a better chance of Brees sliding down to you. The difference from AJ to Housh is projected less than 2 points a game. From Brees to Schaub is a lil over 3 points a game. Not much difference. I just prefer WR over QB
