Keeper Help - Luck +1

Luck and Forsett is the correct answer.

Hmmm, what pick in round 1 do you have?

If you have a late pick I would lean Luck and DT

Early pick I think you're correct with Luck and Forsett

At pick 9 I would keep DT, then snag a RB at your pick 2.2

Its hard to let elite talent go in keeper leagues, Forsett isn't elite. I feel like people get to caught up in perceived "value" in these decisions and overthink it.

Or he could keep Forsett in the 10th and just draft DT at 9... What am I missing here?

Keeping DT at 1.09 shouldn't even be a consideration.

So essentially you think he should throw away his ability to keep Forsett or Mathews in the 10th for nothing.

Someone explain the logic of keeping DT at 1.09

In a ten team, 2 keeper league I don't want to risk losing elite players at their position. There is depth everywhere, but not elite players. I think Forsett and Mathews will be available at 1.09 and 2.2 and if not comparable players will be there. With 20 players off the board DT could be the first pick taken. Then there probably won't be a comparable player to DT available.

The way I would look at it is they would be available at 1.09 and 2.2; however, you are essentially getting them for 10.2. And, while DT probably will be gone by 1.09, there are a handful of other WRs/RBs that will fall to 1.09; especially if you think some of the other teams will use their 1st round picks.

I think it's worth the risk and would go w/ Luck & Matthews

This is what I am thinking, you dont want to ever give up elite talent in a keeper league.

For example,

1. gives back DT keeps matthews. DT is gone by his pick at 1.9 no other "elite" rb or wr is there, takes best available at that position. Matthews turns out to be a middling WR.

2. Keeps DT at 1.9. No "elite" talent is available at 2.2 in the draft, goes with best rb/wr available.

Has 3 players at this point in both scenarios, option 2 is much more desirable and less risky long term.


I get that yeah if Matthews pans out to be a lower WR1 type player this year and he can grab a top 7 or 8 RB at 1.9 his team ends up better, but there are a ton of moving parts in this scenario. Keeping the 2 elite players ensures having 2 elite players with essentially the same likelihood of landing another elite player just 3 picks later in the draft at 2.2.

If he was picking earlier in the 1st round I agree its a no brainer to keep mathews or forsett because he could foreseeably upgrade to a more elite player, or at worst re-draft DT.

It is all about your comfort level. I would just add this.

DT88 has Peyton Manning this year and after that who knows.

Mathews has Bradford who is new to the system and has a long history of getting injured every year; Sanchez, Barkley and Tebow (no comments needed)and Who knows how much Tebow will be used in goal line situations limiting red zone targets for Matthews (if he makes the team).

I suspect the Broncos will find a QB's as good as anyone Philly currently has, when Peyton is gone. Of course the Eagles hurry up offense and number of plays they run is a big benefit to all of their players.

Good luck with whatever direction you decide to go.
