So, I'm in a 10-team league with 4 keeper spots. 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 FLEX, 1 K, 1 DEF format.

So, among my 4 keeper spots I need to choose between Bebe Thomas (definite keeper) Zac Stacy (definite keeper), Le'veon Bell, Montee Ball, Vincent Jackson, Matt Stafford, and Julius Thomas.

Bebe is a no-brainer and I think Stacy will have a stellar season. As it sits right now, Stafford and Bell are my other two keepers, but I've seen a lot of people project Montee Ball to be a top 10 RB, Julius Thomas is a points machine at TE, and Vincent Jackson has potential to put up a lot of points. However, Ball was expected to be a big contributor last year and was passed by Moreno, I can get good value at TE later in the draft, and TB's offense is a dumpster fire.

What say you, fantasy gurus?

Tough Call

I would have to keep Leveon Bell and Julious Thomas I think. Mainly because they are entrenched starters at more premium positions.


Matt Stafford can't be easily replaced but just take a QB early.

Non-ppr.

4pts per passing TD, -2 for INT, 1 pt per 25 passing yds.

6 pts per rushing TD, -2 for fumble lost, 1 pt per 10 yds.

6 pts for rec TD, 1 pt per passing yd.

With Staffords new additions with Tate on the other side of CJ I'd consider keeping him. Unless you can get PM and double up with JT

Have a strong suspicion the dude with Peyton will be keeping him.

I know he, Luck, and Brees are for sure being kept. I'm slightly worried I'll drop stafford and end up being stuck with Eli or RGIII or some shite.

definitely not staff then. The problem with Montee and Julius is if Denver has a bad game on offense, you're fricked at multiple spots. I would say Leveon should a keeper and go with your gut on Thomas or Jackson.

I personally think Tampa will be improved, but Thomas is a top 5 TE, and Peyton doesn't have many bad games.

I'd keep Julius Thomas and Monte Ball. I'm assuming you give up a pick similar to where you got them last year?

No, instead of having 16 picks, we have 12 picks. I'll pick 9th since I finished 2nd, but that's actually a damn good spot in a snake draft.

I mean do you just get to keep your 4 best and then draft?

Most leagues do it where you give up a pick similar to where you drafted them last year. So since you most likely picked Thomas off the waiver wire you'd only have to give a late pick or for Ball you'd likely give up your 5th pick or something.

Keep the 4 you want then it's just a 12 round draft. You don't have to give up picks.

seconded

I'd probably not keep Stafford and just get another QB. Keep both Thomas's and Bell/Ball.

Hey, I'm not the commish. It's my secondary league, anyway.
