.25PPR - 10 team
2 keepers, no cost or draft pick consideration. Keepers basically act as first 2 rounds of the draft. Here are my players worth consideration:

QB
Luck - #1 QB in 2014, #5 in 2013. Young, would likely be a solid longterm keeper option, but I've never been a big one to take QB's early in drafts (which is basically what a keeper is)

WR
DT88 - #2 WR in 2014, #1 in 2013. Young. Worried about potential Manning decline and lack of long-term contract, but still possible to have a couple more good years of Manning production if he gets signed.

Jeffery- #10 WR in 2014, #8 WR in 2013. Young, but Cutler is worrisome. I would think targets will continue to increase though as Brandon Marshall ages.

Josh Gordon - unfortunate 2014 season especially with JFF starting, but #2 WR in 2013. Young. Lots of baggage and messy QB situation

RB
DeMarco - #2 RB in 2014, #6 RB in 2013. Only 26, but HUGE workload in recent years is concerning about longevity for a keeper. If he isn't a keeper, he will be a very early "3rd round" pick.

Foster - #5 RB in 2014. Solid RB when healthy. Big injury concerns during recent years and on a very inconsistent offense.

Forsett - #8 RB in 2014. Journeyman who is getting up there in age. Great year for the vet, but he is a big question mark for the future as he was on a one-year deal this year.

There are a couple of teams who only have 1 obvious keeper or maybe don't even have an obvious one. Keepers dont have to be decided now but I'd like to shop a couple of these players for some mid-round draft picks. I'm hoping I can get a 4th or 5th round for one or 2 of these guys.

Right now, I'm leaning towards keeping Luck and DT88 and trying to shop any and all of the rest, particularly Murray. Obviously DT88's contract situation concerns me, but I think he will at least be franchise tagged this year and will have another solid year with Manning next year.

Any thoughts on who I should keep and who I should try to shop?

ETA: in the championship this week, so I will be drafting last or 2nd to last in a snake.

Your 3 options are Luck, Thomas, and Murray. Shop one and keep the other two.

DT/Murray for me

Luck/Thomas if you want a sure fire 25 points a game at QB.

Find whoever has AJ Green and offer Luck for him. Find whoever has Dez and offer Luck/DT for him. AJG + Dez = set keepers for 6 years.

DT88 is a NFL FA

Eric Decker going out and Manny Sanders coming in shows you "the denver effect"

gotta take a wait and see with him
