12 Team PPR League. Keep 2, no restrictions on keepers, i.e. length, cost etc. I am keeping Beckham and have a choice between Zeke Elliot, Freeman, Cooper. I am not sure which way to go with it. I am picking #12 and expect the BPA to be the likes of a Kelce or Crowell or like a Terrelle Pryor (or Crabtree or Larry Fitz WR type) to be available at my 12/13 turn.

It is start 2 RB/2WR/1 TE/1FLEX for skilled positions.

 
I went Zeke. This is a long term decision being made. You lose 6 games but should have better production for more years. 

 
I agree with Borden.  Since you can keep the players forever the six game suspension isn't as devastating.   Zeke is the best keeper of the bunch by quite a bit so I wouldn't overthink it.    

 
I'd go Freeman personally. This year is still the most important year, and I've seen no reason to assume Elliott isn't going to be a threat to be in the league's doghouse beyond this. 

 
I would keep OBJ and Freeman to serve as my base WR & RB for 2017 (and a year or more beyond 2017). This will allow you any number of draft selection combinations when you're OTC during your draft @ 1.12 & 2.01 - and you're not going into the draft naked at either of the two most critical skill positions in your format where you have the option to start 3 of either RB or WR. And being in the bottom Back-2-Back (B2B) slots for this draft, you should try to avoid exposing yourself to any sort of positional run that you can't counter tactically during this draft "on the fly". By maintaining some degree of balance from now (pre-draft) and up to your first pair of draft picks (and as much as possible throughout the first 8 - 10 rounds), you will maintain more control of which positional players you can target - and not allow other owners to attack any real or perceived weakness in your draft roster before you must make your pair of B2B selections and then wait 22 additional picks before the draft is back to you again. I have found that this type of approach is easier on one's mental well-being, and avoids over-drafting a position which might result in a situation where you could wind up deficient in any one critical position, and then spend the whole season realizing that you've put yourself in an almost impossible catch-up position right off the bat during the league draft itself. Remember the axiom "you can't win your league championship during the draft - but you can certainly lose it during the draft". GL, no matter which path/players you decide to follow.
