Standard scoring non PPR league.

Aaron Rodgers
Alvin Kamara
Antonio Brown

I hate to let Kamara go, but I feel like I can't ditch either Brown or Rodgers. I'm not even thinking about my #4, DeAndre Hopkins, who actually outscored Brown last year in my league.

I hate to say get rid of Kamara, but he will have some regression because his numbers were just filthy last year.
I think Kamara works best when he is splitting carries, he has done it basically his whole career in college and obviously last year.

Brown and Rodgers are proven and I would hold on to them. I would even consider keeping Hopkins over Brown, tough call.

ETA: It all depends on what you lose with keeping these players. If you are losing your 1st and 2nd round picks then I keep Kamara and Brown

Yes, I would be losing my first and second round picks.

If it makes any difference, I won my league with this team and my first pick will not be until #36.

Is this a 4 person league?

No, 12. I've had Rodgers since 2010 via trade and kept him every year since. Drafted Brown in 2014 and kept him since. Last year I drafted Hopkins and got Kamara on waivers.

Out of the 12 teams, there are maybe 5 that know football and actually put in effort.

Do you give up your first two rounds with any combo of the keepers? So essentially two optional keepers?

The obvious answer here is Kamara and Brown. Rodgers is not worth a 1st or second round pick over Kamara or Brown....And Hopkins would be over Rodgers as well. QBs are expendable. The elite talent at RB or WR is not.

How does the keep work? Do you give up the pick from the round they were drafted?

Yes, basically two optional keepers. Your first and second round picks go to your keepers (if you choose to keep anyone). My first pick would be in the third round and since I pick last in a snake draft, it comes in at 36.

I'm really concerned that Kamara can't sustain how he ended the season. Rodgers (to me personally) is the safe choice, but I got by last year with Newton and Goff.

Flip a coin for the WR (if you don't have a preference) and keep Kamara as well. He's definitely worth a 2nd round pick in a 12 team league.

Rodgers may still be there at 36 if you want to take him again.

Possible but with the owners in our league he will go first round. Hoping I can land Watson first but would be happy with Newton or even Mahomes.

Think I'm going to go with Brown and Kamara. Looking through Mock Drafts, Kamara and Brown go really early.

Kamara and Brown are both going top 6-8 in pretty much every league. If your opponents are dead set on wasting 1st and 2nd round picks on QBs let them.

How many times have you won the league since 2010?

If you are hesitant in Kamara keep brown and Hopkins who is also a top 8ish overall pick. Still much better than Rodgers.

Thanks for the replies. I've decided on Kamara and Brown. Now if I could only convince the league to go PPR.
