Ok my league is a 12 man league PPR Keeper league. I am keeping CJ Anderson lose 7th round pick. Keeping Alshon Jeffrey losing 5th round pick. I have the first pick this year and i am thinking about picking Antonio Brown with the first pick. Bell is being kept so he is not available. So what are yall's thoughts on taking Brown with first pick or should i just draft a RB -Charles ,AP, Lacy..

Brown wasn't kept? I would either take him or a top 3 QB if available.

I am in a similar 12 ppr league but out rb's get a point for every 5 yards so stud rbs can be a game changer. I say take a rb. Cj may not perform (although he could easily be good) and if he does u should have to great rb's plus alshon! Wr is usually deep enough to pick up decent guys later

I would take Brown, thought it is a tough call between Brown, AP, Charles, etc.. Who does the guy with Brown have that he is keeping over Brown?

Kind of hard to give you the best informed answer without knowing who else is being kept regarding positional scarcity for the 24-25th pick and also depends on how many of each position you have to start.

In our league the only way you can keep a keeper if he was drafted out the the top 3 rounds or picked up on the waiver wire the previous year. The top players being kept are Odell B, J Nelson,J Hill, Demarco M . We play a flex for either RB,TE,or WR. So your standard 1 QB,2RB,2 WR, TE, DEF, K and a Flex. But i like A Brown alot. I see CJ Spiller, Jonathon Stewart G Bernard coming back to me in the 2nd round. If one of them comes back i will one of them CJ Anderson, A Brown, Alshon Jeffrey.

I'd take AP or Lacy then go WR or QB in the 2nd. Having 2 RB1s will give you a huge advantage, plus give you flexibility in rest of draft.

Odds are a better WR will fall in the 2nd to be your WR2 than the RBs you mention above to be your RB2.

Honestly, if I were you I would look to trade back given your keeper situation. Improve that second round pick, and probably can stand to improve your fourth rounder as well.

Odell B, J Nelson,J Hill, Demarco M, CJ Anderson, Alshon Jeffrey.

That's 6 players that would go before 24 bumped from consideration. Gonna be a lot slimmer pickings in round 2 for you than if you were to move up into the teens.

Fortunately for you, you have 2 of those 6 already. So why not grab 2 more in the top 15-20 if you can instead of one.

I think this is good advice.

Call me crazy, but I think this season is going to be some breakout seasons for guys you havent thought of that can be grabbed late. I think QB is almost a must in the 1st unless your cool streaming a QB. Depends on how your league is set up.
