Last year I couldn't see the menu they used for drafting... what a disaster the draft ended up being for my team.. Ronnie Brown was my teams first selection and the season was already toaste before my second selection came around.

Looking forward towards redemption and thrashing Helsa'

So I need some advice for my keeper league. Passing/rushing/receiving TDs are all 6 points, so QBs are fairly valuable.

I'm already keeping Schaub and Roddy White and I'm able to keep one more player. I have guy on my roster worth keeping like Ryan Matthews (who I think should have a good year), Greg Jennings, Ronnie Brown, Malcolm Flloyd.

So do I keep a guy like Matthews and draft a QB in the first round (like Stafford or Cassel) or do I trade for a QB like Cassel or Freeman if it costs me some draft picks.

Do not keep Ronnie Brown.

Keep an eye on where Malcolm Floyd lands. In the right situation he could be quite valuable.

Matthews is probably your best bet of the players you listed.

But - I don't really understand your question. It sounds like your options are keeping Matthews and going QB in rd1, or trading picks for a QB?

What QBs do you think will be available? There are a number of QBs who I think will have increased TD numbers from last year that will probably be available later than they should. Stafford, Freeman, Flacco should all be solid QB2s.

Well I draft in the lower half of the first round, so I'm not sure if guys like Stafford, Freeman or Flacco make it that far. So do I keep Matthews and risk not having one of those guys fall to me. Or do I trade for a QB, keep the QB then go RB/WR in Round 1?

10 teams, 3 keepers each. So your elite position players are going to be kept.

Ah I think I got ya - you're thinking about trading Matthews (or whoever) for a QB pre-draft? Your league allows offseason trades of your entire roster?

With 3 keepers you're likely to be running pretty dry for RBs as well. If someone will give you a top 15 QB for Matthews I'd take it. 6pt passing TDs is silly. But - I'm willing to bet you'll have a decent QB fall to you in the first.

You should be able to look at the people drafting before you and guess who they'll be keeping and if they'll be looking for QBs early in the first, to gauge who'll be left for you.

Keeper league help

I'm stuck between keeping 2 of the 3 players. Standard scoring league with 10 teams

Who do I keep

A. Foster
J. Charles or
A. Johnson

All 3 are top 10. No idea who I should stick with

Why?? Loads of WR depth, but not so much after the top 10RB's. I'd drop AJ and keep JC and Foster. Charles is going to be a beast this year.

Not to mention that Daniels is back and will take some balls away from AJ and his nagging injuries.

Disagree. there may be more WR depth but to drop AJ, the best receiver in the league is a bad decision. I think it has to be Foster too, Jamaal Charles has Thomas Jones behind him, which can hurt him in the next season, but has little competition behind him after that and will be getting more and more touches as the seasons go along, at least in my eyes.

By that thinking you should drop Charles becuase Foster was the #1RB last year.

AJ has nagging injuries and has a top 5 TE back this year. While he is a stud, you keep the #1RB last year and a top 3/4 RB over a #1 WR every time. The only time you may not is if you can only start 1RB.

Jones is a red herring in KC as well. He is wayy too many miles on those legs.

Look at any of the mock drafts out there. In every single one of them Foster + JC will be drafted before AJ.

Option 1 - Trade someone
Option 2 - Keep JC + Foster
