Keeper question - PPR

I'd keep Big Ben. You know some top tier wrs will be thrown back in the pool and you can grab them in the first if you want them there. You could also shoot for another rb and have that completely locked up for the year and get someone like Alshon/Cobb/Hopkins/TY in the second. JMO

Without knowing anymore details about whose being kept, id say Big Ben.

My ten team keeper, AJ Green went 3rd round. But we don't let anyone keep in the first 3 rounds

That's why you don't let people keep players that high

I don't think you're really benefitting here though

CJ Anderson in the 15th round isn't a benefit?

Ben in the 14th isn't a benefit?

You serious?

If I don't take aj in the second it is guaranteed he will go in the first with who will be left on the board after keepers.

To that point I agree it is irrelevant but I was responding to your statement about benefit. Regardless, I think we're somewhere around the same page.

I'd take a look at the other teams and educate guess their keepers.

With 10 teams, there are only 20 possible keepers.

I think if you analyze it, the pool of available players in 1st and 2nd round will probably surprise you.

If teams are keeping AB 2nd/3rd round, OBJ late rounds, Hopkins middle rounds, etc it means they're likely to release their 1st/2nd round pick from last season.

That means guys above AJ in ADP - both RB and WR could be available depending on player pool and your draft position.

To answer your other question, CJ is going as a RB1 in every draft I've seen.

Oh yea I am def keeping CJ. Deciding between Ben and aj.

I have analyzed the other teams and I know who I think they are picking. I have the second pick in the first round and based on who is left I will either take lacy or Julio jones, depending on who the first guy takes.

Then there will only be like 6-7 players who I rank higher than aj available before my second round pick, meaning if I drop aj I will almost certainly be drafting someone I have ranked lower than him in the second round.

So I am leaning toward aj, so I will have lacy/jones, aj, and CJ Anderson after my first two rounds and pick up a qb later on.

ItsGeauxTime: I am on same line of thinking as you are, it's just that small area of where do you have aj ranked next to the people right around him, and who will be available at my pick in the second round. Based on anticipated keepers and where I have him ranked, i think I would be getting someone less valuable than him.

It's definitely hard to pass up Big Ben with that much value. Tough decision either way

At this point I'm thinking not
