Keep 2 WHIR (1 Viewer)

TX Steel

Footballguy
12 team redraft, 0.5 PPR.  Basic scoring with bonuses for 100+ yd rushing/receiving, 300+ yd passing, and 50+ yd TDs.

Start QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, FLEX, DST, K.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can keep 2 of the following.  I don't know draft order yet.  I know most stud WRs will be available (possible exceptions are Nuk and Green), and most RBs will be there (Gurley, Kamara, and Fournette probably won't).  

EDIT:  Burkhead (Round 12) I didn't list him at first since I never trust NE's backfield, but since many of you requested any later round options I thought I'd mention him.

Hunt (Round 5)

McCaffrey (Round 3)

Gronk (Round 2)

I see Hunt as a no-brainer, but do any Chief insiders know about Spencer Ware?  He was in line to be the guy last year before he got hurt.  Could he cut into Hunt's touches?  

As for the other two, I guess it might depend on my draft position.  Something around the 1-2 turn might make Gronk a reach, but if I end up picking at the end or Rd 2 then he might be a better keeper.  Or I could just target him in Rd 2 and keep McCaffrey as my RB2 for only a 3rd round price.  

So which 2 should I keep?  Thanks, and please leave a link so I can return the favor!

Hunt is the easy choice because of the round 5. I see Ware and Hunt being very similar to Ingram and Kamara, but maybe thats just me. Hunt should see plenty of volume to justify keeping him, especially at round 5. 

I would rather have Gronk and take some high upside high risk RBs later. 

 
If like you said your 2nd is at the end and not the beginning I would consider Gronk but even so Hunt and Cmac is the safer way to lock up your RB's and then you can take a good WR in round 2

 
like msudaisy asked, do you have any other late round potential keepers? If so, throw them out there. If not, like the others, I'd lean toward CMC over Gronk unless you are able to get picks 1-3. Then you can pair a stud RB up with Hunt with your 1st pick, then on the 2/3 turn get your WR1. you'd then have the best TE + 2 really good RB's & your WR1. 

take a look at mine:

Of the choices I would say Hunt and Mccaffrey are fairly easy choices but I would look into have a better value guy later if possible.

If there aren't other choices then stick with the rbs 

 
OK, after seeing several of you ask if there were any later-round options I added Rex Burkhead (Round 12).  I didn't list him at first because I just don't trust New England's RB situation.  But he's up there now.
