I have to lock a keeper in the one league I'm participating in.

12 team, head to head PPR league that seems to reward all-star RBs over anything.

1 QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX, 1 D/ST, 1 K, Head Coach, 9 bench.

My team:
QBs: Russel Wilson, Case Keenum
RBs: Arian Foster, Ben Tate, Joquie Bell, Roy Helu, Rashard Mendenhall
WRs: Vincent Jackson, Brian Hartline, Hakeem Nicks, Eddie Royal, McCluster
TE: Jason Witten
D/ST: Chiefs, Bills
K: Akers

It seems like I either keep RW3 or Arian.

[Ceej]

Here's my choice - Joique Bell.

[mrroandrro]

Keep Arian then.

[Discuss Thrower]

So the league is PPR.

I'm debating going nothing but WR to start the draft.

[mrroandrro]

Arian is a late 1st, early 2nd round pick. None of the other players on your team match that description. If everyone else keeps a stud, depending on where u draft, u may not get another top 15 RB. I keep Arian, and don't even think twice. Every other player on your squad can be had in the 5th round or later.

[Discuss Thrower]

Other keepers were Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Lacy, Welker JC, McCoy, AP, and Forte.

[Ceej]

Foster has bust written all over him this year - I know, going out on a limb there.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I have the 4th pick and literally every mock I do, Forte is the choice.

More often than not, Brandon Marshall falls to me in R2.

And I'm waiting on a QB and love the idea of pairing QB and WR.

Too much Chicago?

Cutler always worries me. But with the emergence of Jeffery last year. What about taking a shot on Alshon later in the draft?

He's going in the third round regularly. Hell, there have been opportunities to take Forte, Marshall AND Jeffrey if I wanted to.

[Ceej]

I feel like I'm going to reach hard for a RB and I'm not so sure it's a good idea.

I would give more clues but what fun is that? He's not a top five guy, yet. His potential is through the roof.

So, the possibility of Forte/Marshall or Jeffery or Cutler/Marshall or Jeffery.

I like option A more, but I'm RB whore and sometimes my severe dislike for Cutler clouds my judgment.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I'm taking Forte regardless. Not passing on an elite RB.

It's R2 that ****s me, because Marshall seems to be available a lot and he's the best player at the time. I gotta hope Julio is there, otherwise there's going to be a decent drop off.

This is a difficult fantasy year at the top, IMO. 6 stud RBs, and 3 stud QBs. And then the next tier for both.

6 nails WRs, and then a huge drop in overall quality for this position. First 2 rounds are going to be interesting.

I'm not sure there are 6 stud RB's.

I think it's Peterson, Jamaal, Shady and Forte and then a drop to the 2nd tier.

So who are y'all picking to be a stud this year that is not being picked in the 1st 3 rounds. Guys that end up as top 3-5 at their position or who greatly exceed their projected draft position. My picks:
QB- Andrew Luck. I know he is going somewhere between the 5th and 7th rounds. But I think he finishes the year as top 3 QB.
RB- Bishop Sankey. Probably round 4 or 5, which is normally pretty high for a rookie. But his oline is pretty solid, and no real competition should make for a solid year. Maybe RB 2 by end of year, or even better.
WR- The popular choice is Coradelle Patterson, but I'm going with TY Hilton. As stated earlier I think Luck kills it this year and I think at seasons end he is up there with Dez Bryant, AJ Green and Brandon Marshall as top 5 WR. 2nd choice is Cobb but he could be a late 3rd rounder.
TE- This is a tough call but I'm going Jordan Cameron. Now I know that's not going out on a limb but he does fit the later than 3rd round criteria, plus he has no one else to take catches from him. Before Hoyer went down last year he was the stud TE, barely behind Graham. I think he continues that. Sleeper TE would be Ladarius Green.
