I have a 10 team keeper league with:
1 QB
2 RB
3 WR
1 TE
1 K
1 DEF (no special teams)
1 RB/WR Flex

6 pts/td scored or thrown
no PPR/PPR

You can keep 2 players that count as your first and second round picks. 1 have the 21st pick, which is like 1 overall if everyone keeps players. Not sure what's going on, but people are making some terrible choices.

People still could choose to keep/not keep players but at this point I'm like a kid in a candy store with Arian Foster and McCoy already on my team. Available are:

Dez Bryant
Steven Jackson
Jimmy Graham
Brandon Marshall
MJD
Julio Jones
Drew Brees
Fitzgerald
Ridley
Chris Johnson

I've figured it out, and in this league if you get an "elite" top 3 QB it's worth an early pick IMO. Will Brees be that guy if he's available? I know this is a Louisiana-based board but IMO he's the safest QB out there. People have kept 5 QBs and none are Breese.

If not, is Steven Jackson the obvious choice? What about MJD or even Ridley?

I'm not taking a WR.

Thanks

If you're that against WR, go Jimmy Graham.

I just don't think you're guaranteed the ROI and it's more random to pick who will be elite. On average there is less than 4 points on average difference between the no. 1 and No. 15 guy in the league.

Graham yields WR points. Aside from maybe Gonzalez, the drop off is going to be huge.
