Keeper help needed

[bobapjok 1]

Im in an 8 team league Non PPR standard scoring and we can keep up to 5 keepers.   The problem is i have 6 guys all in the top 30.  I am keeping Chubb, Pollard, Jefferson, Lamb and i also have Amon St Brown and Najee Harris.  St brown is ranked higher in every ranking, but i cant figure out if that is better than keeping the extra running back for the year.  Running backs are pretty much all kept every year, so i dont know if the depth of Harris is better than the depth of St Brown.  we start 2 RB and 2 WR, no flex or anything.  The first 5 rounds are keeper rounds for us with everyone picking from either their own players or whats not kept until the first 5 rounds are filled.  That is the top 40 players roughly.  Given that, and me keeping 5 players, my first actual pick will be the equivalent of pick 45 and after the keeper rounds, the draft is a traditional S curve.  I am a Steelers fan and dont want to cloud my judgement with Harris but i have a hard time getting over the value of RB as Im pretty old school.  Anyway, any thoughts would be appreciated and what people think of who might be better strictly for this year and who is better for mulitple years if there is a difference.  Also, if it is a factor, whoever I dont keep will be snapped up by another team in the keeper rounds so I would potentially be giving another team help for their roster.  thanks for any input

I would throw N Harris out.  

It’s an eight team league seems like it will be pretty easy getting over Harris.

you can never go wrong having added depth at RB.  

RB's often get injured.  so the team with added depth is a good way to keep you  immune to those types of concerns.   I'd keep Naj.   his QB is showing signs of being a player.   if that comes to pass hes gonna be a valueable player to keep.   and RB's tend to follow the fortunes of their team.   why give up on him when the team is showing signs of turning things around.

that said, if you are allowed to make trades you should attempt to trade whoever you dont keep out of the two players  maybe shop both and if someone buys, then keep the other guy.

that potential trade could be the deciding factor for you.

Harris will not out produce any of those others.  J Warren is going to be a big factor why.
