Keeper Conundrum (1 Viewer)

12 team, 3 keeper auction league. 1/2 ppr. None of my keeper options are great value. I hate the thought of using half my auction money on just three guys. I also hate keeping lesser players to save a buck or two knowing the other owners will have a better chance at buying who I throw back because they have more money than I do.

Leaning towards:
Kupp $19
Pitts $12
Javonte $15

Other options:
Etienne $13
Metcalf $10
Harris $14
Rhamondre $5
 
Yes, $100
The roster is one of my frustrations, but that’s a separate issue. Starting requirements are pretty standard with 1QB, 2 RBs 2WRS 1 TE AND 1Flex. Additionally we have 3 IDPs and K and D
I believe only 6 bench spots. The downside is, I have to allow at least $1 for each roster spot.
 
You really are in a pickle. Everyone is market value so don't get any benefit but (like you said) other's will drive prices up if you don't keep them. Sucks. I think you have it right but if you want to gamble I would drop Javonte and keep Stevenson and then hope you can find some deals in the draft. I have a bit of worry on Javonte because Gordon was really good last year. If they split 50-50 you are screwed. I know I am suggesting keeping another guy in a similar situation but for $5 it's easier to handle. Plus I think Stephenson is better than Harris and will have a solid year. Flex worthy for sure with RB15-20 upside.

Generally speaking, I think you've got the correct 3 keepers in there. An above commenter suggests concerns with Javonte. I'd say that he was quite productive even with Gordon there and with Gordon climbing in age and Javonte continuing to show prowess on the field he will start to take more control of this time share. Truth is, Gordon is a trade candidate if anybody loses a starting RB in preseason. If gordon is traded or -knock on wood- injuried Javonte becomes and elite fantasy back. I think the only considerable option for you is not keeping Pitts and instead keeing Etiene. It's a high risk high reward option though. I think Etienne has a chance at being a very nice fantasy RB with the upside of a RB1. Although i love Pitts long term, I am not sure how well he'll do in this poor of an offense. I know that Mariota targeted TEs frequently in TEN, however I am not sure that this Falcons team has enough around Mariota this year to think that he'll be very efficient. I think it's more likely that Mariota vultures TDs with his legs than he targets Pitts more around the endzone to really get him a high TD mark. In a one TE league, where you only start 2 WR and 1 Flex i think it's ok to think outside of the top 3 or 4 TE. I think the value of having 3 potential RB1s is a great opportunity, albeit a risk. full PPR league im keeping Etienne no question, 1/2 PPR its up to you. I think Etienne could win you the league, i don't think Pitts has that ability int his type of formation. Ultimately you know your league and what tends to work well.

personally my style is to go big or go home so im keeping etienne, but i wouldnt blame anybody who opted to keep Pitts.
 
This may change things. Apparently there are 14 teams this year instead of 12 and more importantly, the budget may be moved to $200 and they will double the current keeper price.
 
Thanks for the info... and I am in line with Gally. It comes down to my comfort level between Williams and Stevenson. and as of this moment, am leaning towards Williams... My opinion is that I think he is going to get more of a workload this year over Gordon. And I think Stevenson will take over in New England as long as he does not piss off Belichick. when I am needed to make a decision, I would hope I come up with which one to hang on to.
 
I just saw your update:

knowing this, I gut just leaned to Williams.
