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.

Anyway, I had the 6th pick. First 5 picks saw AD, JC, McCoy, Lacy, and Forte go off the board. I'm not big on BeastMode this year so instead I grabbed Aaron Rodgers and went for RBs (my highest-rated remaining RB was still there) on the way back.

QB Aaron Rodgers
RB Le'Veon Bell
RB Giovanni Bernard
WR Antonio Brown
WR Michael Crabtree
TE Jordan Cameron
Flex Percy Harvin
K Justin Tucker
DEF Seattle

BN Russell Wilson
BN Trent Richardson
BN Fred Jackson
BN Wes Welker
BN Dwayne Bowe
BN Jordan Reed
BN Cincinnati

I love your TEs, you should get great production there. In an 8 team league I wouldn't have taken a 2nd QB with Rodgers. You can always get another off waivers. Your RBs are good although I don't like FJax. Your WR are good but I recommend more depth. I probably would cut Wilson since you have Rodgers and look for more RB help on the waivers, like maybe Jeremy Hill or Terrance West. Then cut FJax and get another WR like Kelvin Benjamin or Sammy Watkins.

FJax ended up the 12th ranked RB in my league last year, and averaged over 13 PPG.

Nice feedback. I didn't take Russell Wilson until very late in the draft. I disagree on FJax, though. I discount him every year but he produces and will get majority of the goalline carries. There's a good chance he'll never enter my lineup, however.

You're right, he did. But I'm all about upside. 13 pts is probably FJax ceiling. I think Kelvin will average that at least, in a ppr league especially, if not more. Watkins could too but I like Benjamin more due to the fact that there is no one else other than Olsen to catch the ball. In my experience, its best to have youth and potential over aging, on the downslope, experienced players. Which is why I mentioned the young RBs too. The reward is usually greater with the younger player. See Zac Stacy, Eddie Lacy, Keenan Allen.

And is he starting Benjamin over Brown and Crabtree?

[Discuss Thrower]

Guy offered me a trade: give up Rueben Randle for Jonathan Grimes.

My RBs are Foster, Rice, Fred Jackson, Lamar Miller, Devonta Freeman and D'AT.. The guys in the league are huge on having handcuffs.

It's a PPR league.

I couldn't believe it when it happened. It was fairly early in the draft when I got him too.

Probably not. But if he starts 2 WR he needs someone to fill in bye weeks. I don't think I would trust Welker or Bowe at this point. He may even be able to trade him. You got 3 RBs at Buffalo in Spiller, FJax, and Bryce Brown. I just don't see FJax repeating last year. I would rather have the rookie WR. But that's my opinion.

I'd rather have Grimes unless you are really weak at WR.

[Urc Burry]

This is my team:
Rg3, Kap
Forte, Gore, Bell, Hyde
Julio, Tate, Bowe, Doug Baldwin, Wheaton
Cameron, Gates
K
9ers D

Should I be content with this team? My roster is full, but I kind of want to take a flyer on Kelce who is a FA. I'm sure Cameron will get the nod almost every week, but I think Kelce could make some nice trade bait down the road. But I'm not even sure who I would dump him for. Gates? Or maybe Wheaton? But I think he can break out

Graham,

Victor Cruz, Pierre Garcon, Eric Decker, Brian Hartline, Eddleman, Doug Baldwin

[CanadianChief]

How confident would you feel going into this season with Cutler and RG3 as your QBs?

[Dante84]

For my Flex, Week 1:

Cobb vs @Seattle
OR
Sproles vs Jacksonville

???

Tough call only because of the matchups. But I still start Cobb and don't think twice. Sherman can't cover both Nelson and Cobb, and lacy is gonna keep the Seattle def from dropping too many back. I see Cobb with 8 rec, 75 yds and 1 TD. And because I'm not sure of the workload Sproles sees against Jax, despite the weak Jax D, I couldn't recommend him over Cobb, even if he's playing against Seattle.
