Can only keep 1. Worried about mason taking carries away from Stacy.

I'd be just as worried, or even more so, about Anderson taking from Ball.
but Ball is the hype, so you keep him.
After draft, if you have a change of heart, you look for the guy who grabbed Zac and work out a minor upgrade at another position for him to get Ball.
ie
Keep Ball
draft Garcon
Find guy who grabbed Zac
look at his WRs, see jordy nelson
offer him Ball/Garcon for Zac/Nelson

Zac Stacy and Montee Ball will be 5th or 6th round picks. I'd pick up Danny Woodhead if you're in PPR league around that pick. You'll be good with the reception points/

Neither are worth keeping IMO, but if I had to pick one it's Stacy

Im torn between these two as well. There are two deciding factors to watch closely in the first few preseason games.
1. Can Montee Ball pass protect? That was his achilles heel last yr. If Manning is hit multiple times a game because Ball missed his assignment, that will not bode well for his fused neck (especially supporting that gigantic frickin head of his).
2. Just how much more explosive is Tre Mason than Zac Stacy? It's a given that Mason will more than likely be the more talented overall back on the roster. There is something to say about Stacy's style though as he's one cut and go. If Mason can show the same intincts for running as Stacy does, I think he will be on the field more than everyone anticipates.
All that said, I want Ball because he will have so many goalline opportunities. If he can pass block, he will be a top 5 fantasy back. If he cant, then he will fall off of the face of the Earth.

Fantasy is all about minimizing risk and maximizing opportunity. Because of that I'd take Ball.
Just so many things in his favor...schedule (especially within the division), o-line, soft boxes, his team winning presumably giving him many chances to close a game when ahead...just to name a few.

What are your other keeper options? What rounds do they count for? Scoring?

I like them both, but i see Ball as a low-end RB1 and Stacy as a high end RB2.
If you can choose between the 2, you have to go with Ball. Too many things working in his favor. (weaker schedule, better offense, more opportunities to run out the clock, no more Moreno, no stacked defensive fronts, more goalline chances, nobody challenging him for lead-back duties)
You cant say any of that about Stacy, and i really like Stacy, since i had him last year and am keeping him this year. If you want to make a case for Stacy, it would be that Denver's offense centers around Peyton and St louis' will center around Stacy. But i still dont think it outweighs Ball's situation.
