I have the 11th pick in a 12 team PPR league. We can keep one player but give up a draft pick based on where that player was drafted the previous season. The way I see it I have 3 options and here they are.

1. Antonio Brown - 1st round
This is tempting because even though I lose my first round pick (11th overall) there is some value in getting the #1 overall player by only giving up the 11th overall pick.

2. Jordan Reed - 14th round
Got me to the championship game last year but very injury prone.

3. Donte Moncrief - 15th round
Should be a solid WR this year, I would be able to keep him plus get the best WR available with the 11th overall pick and get a RB with the 14th overall pick (2nd round).


I think #3 might be my best option. I would appreciate your thoughts and opinions.

I would keep Antonio and not look back. While the other guys have great values, Antonio in a PPR is a true difference maker and can win weeks pretty much by himself. The other two guys are easier to replace than Antonio IMO.

The value for Moncrief is very tempting, but you just can't pass on Brown here. He's a sure thing, Moncrief is a hope that may not pan out.

I'd lock in Brown.

The only way I'd make an argument for Moncrief is if you knew who the other teams are keeping and knew who you'd be able to target at 11 & 14. If you like your options, maybe, but Brown is the best player in the draft.

I agree. Brown all the way. And, you'll get the 14th pick, which will be a nice turn since you'll get the best player and 14th best player when you would have gotten the 11th best and 14th best.

Brown.

Moncrief is amazing value. But the chances of whatever guy you pick in the 15th performing up to Moncrief's value is much higher than the chances of whoever you take at 11 performing up to Brown's potential, if that makes sense.

Basically you have to ask yourself if Antonio brown is worth trading for a player that's probably ranked around 8-12



AB for the win, and also, don't you get to pick 3 slots after the one you're losing?? This is a no brainier IMO

The idea is Brown worth Reed/Moncrief + whomever you may get in the 1st? Personally as everyone else said, I would rather have Brown over say Keenan Allen/Reed. Brown is so much moree valuable than the WR8.

How many WR & flex slots are there? How many other 1st round WR's are likely to be kept? I think I would prefer Reed in the 14th over Moncrief in the 15th if you are going that route. He is injury prone, but he is a difference maker when he plays.
