Julio is given. What about my 2nd between these two?

It's Cam and not even close IMO. Ben has been terrible on the road and I saw a stat today that showed he's only finished in top 10 once since 2010. Ben also gets hurt every year. Cam not as much.

It's just straight up, select 2 keepers from the previous year. Not a dynasty or anything.

Only other options would be Cousins and Jarvis Landry. Matt Jones, Forte, Cole Beasley, Kelce, Ty Montgomery, Blount.


Big Ben has been bad or very inconsistent the last couple years. Then I get to thinking at the all the weapons he has around him, especially compared to Cam, knowing his time is coming to and end. Cam will definitely be depended on more, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

Didn't Ben say he's possibly retiring after this year? Who knows if he does, but I'd stick with cam just for that reason alone.

I'd say keep Landry, with a possible argument to be made for Montgomery or Kelce. QBs are easily replaceable and unless its 2 QB you have no business rostering three anyway. Take the player that would go highest in the draft (Landry) and then draft a QB like Dalton, Stafford, or Ben in the double digit rounds.

3 QB's? Well, I had 3 on roster last year. You can play 2 QB's at a time. 1 QB 1 OP (qb included)


My first keeper is obviously Julio. Now it's a matter of selecting another. Either Cam, Cousins, Big Ben, Landry, Kelce, Montgomery...

I will ask, whats the scoring like in this league?

You answer PPR, you should keep Jarvis
You answer standard, you should keep Jarvis or Montgomery

If you're dead set on keeping a QB, why not keep the best one on your roster in Cousins?

Julio
Cousins

You didn't mention the scoring nor the fact that you can start 2 QBs. How can one advise

Can you give a little more info regarding scoring format, keeper requirements, etc?

From what I gather, it's a 2 QB league, so you want to keep a QB. I can understand that strategy but also think you should consider keeping Landry and drafting 2 QBs, because all the QBs you listed are in that tier 2 group where they're just about equal to 10-15 other guys. It would be different if you were talking about keeping Brady or Rodgers, but you're not.

I also don't quite understand your keeper rules. Are you saying that you just keep anyone, regardless of round, and then draft a full team? If that's the case and you're set on keeping a QB, Cousins is probably your best bet.

If it's a typical keeper where you lose the draft position of the player you keep, it's impossible to give good advice without knowing the round you drafted/would give up for each player.
