Keep 3 of the following players. PPR league.

Helu
Gore
Colston
Romo
Miles Austin
Demaryius Thomas

Yes, my keepers suck (Had to make a few trades to keep competitive after losing Jamaal Charles early on). That said I should have a higher budget than most teams for auction.

Most torn about Helu. He was awesome at end of last year (especially in PPR). But uncertain how they will use him with RGIII and Royster stepping it up late.

Leaning towards Romo, Colston, and Demaryius Thomas (Depending on how Peyton looks this offseason)

Colston, Austin, and Romo for me.

Helu - Shanahan the fantasy killer

Gore - solid season, hardly a monster anymore, bid on him if you want him back on your team(since you say you should have a higher budget than most teams), Brandon Jacobs

Thomas - concerns of Peyton's health, concerns over Thomas' ability to stay healthy over the course of the year

Thanks for feedback.

Austin I'm worried about longterm health as well. My thoughts were that my keepers are relatively weak, so maybe just go with highest upside with Thomas. Likely to cost less of my budget to keep as well vs. Austin

That said, I like the Romo/Austin combo when healthy.

How do your keepers work? Which rounds will you lose picks? How much is each player?

It's an auction keeper so there are no rounds/rounds where you lose picks.

The price of the players you keep are subtracted from your budget for next year ($200) + a small premium.

For example, if you decide to keep Brees, and his average draft price in 2012 is $40, then the budget you start off with is $200 - $40 - $2 (5% premium to keep all players) = $158.

Max # of keepers is 3

Then for value's sake, I'd probably go Romo, Gore, Colston.
