Keepers are Easy - Round 3 is Not!

[Hobbit 0]

I am in a 12-team keeper league where we keep two players. I am keeping Peyton Manning and Chris Johnson . My problem begins in Round 3. I can go RB and lose on WRs, or WR with a weak RB2. Here's how I mock it out:

 

Option A:

Peyton Manning

Chris Johnson

LeSean McCoy

Hakim Nicks

Donnie Avery

 

Option B:

Peyton Manning

Chris Johnson

Percy Harvin

Dallas Clark or Antonio Gates

Ladanian Tomlinson

 

What do you think?

I would definitely go with option B. Percy Harvin is good receiving and returning. Also, Gates and Clark have been, and still are, some of the top TE's in the NFL. Tomlinson may not be as good as he used to be, but his fantasy value is still up there.

In option A, Hakeem Nicks is a strong option for Wide Receiver. I'm not as confident with Avery, though. Even though McCoy is a good Back, i would take Tomlinson over him.

There has to be better WR options there in the 3rd rd. Is this for a PPR league? I guess I would prefer Option A, only because I think that McCoy is a big upgrade at RB2 over Tomlinson.

If there is a can't pass up RB then I would go there in round 3. Chances are you can go solid WR here as the RBs most likely left will be all the RBBC guys. Also depends how many WRs you start. If it's 3 WRs then gotta grab a good one early.

You would take Tomlinson over McCoy??

No, not really. A lot of guys are keeping WRs or drafting them before me. I am keeping my 1st and 2nd round picks so I lose those picks this year. One guy will have five players when I still have two because his keepers are in later rounds.

It's not a PPR league, so I am just looking for the best value available. Problem is if I go WR I am weak at RB2. I'm trying to figure out which way to go in Round 3.

I'm still not sure about McCoy...I really like him, but I will really be bad at WR. Like usual!

I'd go with Option A due to the fact you'll be solid at QB and RBs. WRs are always on the WW that you can pick up if needed.
