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.

So I have the number 1 pick in the snake draft.

Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Luck, JC, McCoy, Lacy, Forte, AP, Megatron and Welker are off the board. I have Foster.

Scoring: (Modified PPR)

Passing TDs are 4 points, 1 point bonuses for 5 straight completions, 40+ yard TDs and for every 25 yards, 2 point bonuses for 50+ yard TDs and 400+ yards.

Rushing: 6 point TDs, 1 point for every 10 yards, 2 points for 40+ yard TD, 3 points for 50+ yard TD, 4 points for 100-199 yards, 5 for 200+

Receiving: 6 point TDs, 1 point per 10 yards, per reception, 40+ yard TD, 2 points for 50+ yard TD, 3 points for 100-199 yards, 5 for 200+ yards.

Graham?

Keeper league. We can keep two different offensive players, but they must play different positions. We also lose the pick in the round they were drafted in.

Is Stafford / Megatron the no brainer?

QB - Stafford, Pryor
RB - Moreno, Ridley, J. Bell, D. Brown, P. Thomas
WR - Megatron, Dez, Shorts, Kendall Wright
TE - Gronk

Megatron was drafted in the first, and Stafford in the fifth.

Then the guys you play with are stupid.

The top 5 RB's are gone, the top 4 QB's are gone and Megatron is gone.

I guarantee you someone picking 9-12 takes Graham in my leagues this year.

Matthew Berry has him ranked AHEAD of Megatron this year.

He's the BPA at that pick - if you pass, you're taking Montee Ball or Demaryius Thomas with the first overall pick.

Graham is the easy choice, IMO.

I just think a RB or Green is a better bet. And Graham got that phat paycheck.

Graham scored one fewer point than Megatron last year, and played hurt.

Go ahead, pass on Graham. The guy drafting #2 will thank you if he has a brain in his head.

Yeah, he pretty much hit the nail on the head there. Don't see how you don't take Graham. That being said, coming back around Julius Thomas and Gronk may still be there, so you could still draft AJ, Demarius, or maybe a RB like Ball or Murray with the first pick and still get a quality TE at the end of the 2nd. If u go RB, u could be looking at possibly Gronk/Thomas and maybe Antonio Brown or Cobb on your next 2picks which is still not too shabby.

Would you stake this opinion on a lifetime of neg reps if he busts?

Ok, here are the options for my 5th and final keeper in a 10 team, ppr league. Gio B, Julius Thomas, Decker, Hilton, Ben Tate, Joique Bell. No specific round pick forfeited to keep them. Either keep them or throw them back in the draft pool.

To me it seems to be either Gio or Thomas. I'd love to keep Gio but the RB situation doesn't seem ideal for him getting reliable touches each week.

I don't know what the TE situation is like in your league so you may wanna consider keeping Thomas. Only a handful of studs at TE. That being said, Gio should be money this year. The Bengals have already said they want to get him the ball around 300 times and u have to figure around 60-70 will be receptions. If he stays healthy and the Bengals aren'tlying, he could end up with Charles/McCoy numbers.

I really would prefer to keep Gio and I'd love to believe what they are saying. I have a hard time seeing 300 touches though after drafting another RB in the second wound and BJGE still on the roster.

BGE may not make the squad. Jeremy Hill will more than likely be the grinder on that team. Either way, it's a tough call. Who are your other keepers?

Cam, Julio Jones, AP, Cobb

Edit: which really does not affect my decision. Best players/scorers regardless of position for me.

Tough call. You may not be able to land another stud TE but I guess I would say Gio.Either way I think u are good though. In mock drafts, I've seen both go in the 2nd or 3rd rd. So both are solid keepers. Sucks to have to choose, but it a good problem to have. Maybe you could keep both. Let Cam go. And you probably could still land Cam later in the draft. That seems like the best option to me. Don't know if that is an option, but that is the way Iwould go. Then u have 2 stud RBs, 2 stud WR and a stud TE. Definitely seems like the best option.
