Keeper Help Quesrion (1 Viewer)

Hi All!

I am in a unique league where we are allowed 1 keeper per year. The requirement for that keeper is that they can only be kept if they were drafted after the 10th round. This year my only 3 options to choose from are Jordan Mason, JK Dobbins and Tyrone Tracy. This is a 12 team, .5ppr league. Currently leaning Tracy. Our draft is Sunday and I have pick 11, so plan to go WR/RB if that makes a difference in deciding.

Awesome, sounds like a fun league! Good change of pace to only keep those later round selections, and it would help if they find themselves with meaningful work.

> Dobbins will be in a two-man backfield rotation. However, he did not play in the final two games, which indicates he is going to be a part of the offense. RJ Harvey was drafted in the second round to be utilized in the offense.
> Tracy looks to be locked in as the lead back to start the season for the Giants. Cam Skattebo has been injured for much of camp; he did see preseason work, so he will avoid injured reserve. Tracy has taken the majority of first-team reps and does not have significant competition.
> Mason will complement Aaron Jones. Their skillsets mesh and do not overlap.

We have these running backs ranked in 1/2 PPR: Tracy (66), Dobbins (97), and then Mason (131). Tracy will have little threat to his role, compared to Dobbins, who will compete with Harvey (and has a questionable injury history). Mason lacks the upside with A. Jones is healthy, as he does not get much receiving work. Tracy provides a solid floor with the upside shown during his rookie season.

We would go with Tracy as the keeper for this season.
