12-team league. Everyone must keep five guys.

Keepers:

QB:
RB: McCoy
RB:
WR: Odell
WR: Julio
WR: Cobb
TE:
FLEX:

Should my final keeper be Julius Thomas at TE (if not, Greg Olsen is best TE available). Or Latavius Murray - who is fifth on the available board if I let him into the draft?

I pick at No. 10 and No. 14.

What is my strategy here? I bow at your alter, Fantasy Board..

BEST PLAYERS AVAILABLE per ESPN rankings (in order from 1-20):

1. Melvin Gordon - RB
Jonathon Stewart - RB
Todd Gurley - RB
Joique Bell - RB
Latavius Murray - RB
DeSean Jackson - WR
TJ Yeldon - RB
Tevin Coleman - RB
Giovani Bernard - RB
Vincent Jackson - WR
Amari Cooper - WR
Kevin White - WR
LeGarrette Blount - RB
Greg Olsen - TE
Isaiah Crowell - RB
Mike Wallace - WR
Joseph Randle - RB
Ben Roethlisberger - QB
Jarvis Landry - WR
20. Allen Robinson - WR

Keep Murray and try and nab olsen. If it fails, you could just redraft Julius

5 keepers? What's the point of the draft at that point.

Thanks captain obvious.

Point is, hypothetically the top 60 players are off the board, what's the fun in that?

Get to build your team. Lots of teams try to shop players for better keepers during the season. Definitely some trading going on before the draft involving picks.

I figured the same before I got into it, but you can find the fun no matter the format. And I've got one of the better keeper teams so I always enjoy it...

Seems like those guys will all be gone if there are a run on RB's with picks with 1-10. Wondering if the best route is to just go with Murray now, pick another RB at 10 and then a TE at 14.

I really think one key cog to a successful fantasy team is a top-flight TE.

Not willing to stream guys. Want one of the 5-6 best. That's what is making this Julius decision tough. If I know I can get him again at No. 14, I would roll with it because I don't think I get anyone at RB better than Latavius Murray with my No. 10 pick.

Well you won't be getting one of those with Gronk, Graham, Olsen and most likely Kelce off the board. So you mgith as well wait. Julius Thomas is not worth passing up a good WR or desperately needed RB depth IMO.

If this were my team I'd keep Murray and go BPA between RBs and WRs at your first two picks.

Hell I mean it's plausible that Olsen falls to 10 if people get caught up in the "sexy" picks like Gorodn, Gurley, Cooper, White etc.
