Keeper help?! (1 Viewer)

[12thMan86]

I'm in a 12 team standard, 6 point passing td, keeper league. The draft spots have already been determined, and keepers placed in the 1st and 2nd round. I have the second overall pick in a snake style draft. Anyone give me any advice here on who to take?! Thanks, some of my options include J. Nelson, D. Murrey, Ajayi, etc. 

1. Trevan (LMcCoy, ARodgers)
2. Adam S
3. Jeff (EElliot)...
4. Chris (MGordon)
5. Kyle (MEvans)
6. Andrew
7. Jason (OBeckham)
8. Seth (ABrown, DFreeman)
9. Phil (LBell)
10. Aaron/Adam H (RGronk, JHoward)
11. Frank (JJones)
12. Mark (DJohnson, AGreen)

Who are your current keepers? 

You take BPA.  Which should be Nelson or Ajayi.  I suspect Team 1 will take Nelson so looks like Ajayi.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I think he's saying Nelson, Murray and Ajayi are his keeper options, and he can keep 2, but they cost him his 1st 2 picks.

Assuming I have this right, I think Nelson and Murray should be the keepers. They are better than anyone that will be in the draft. Ajayi is an option, but I don't trust him anywhere near as much as Murray, though he probably has a higher ceiling.

My team is Adam S, I'm not keeping anyone from last years squad, and chose to pick from the list of players who were not kept. Since the teams with players next to them have either a) kept one player in round one (example Chris with Gordon), or b) kept two players which equal the first and second round (example Trevan with McCoy + Rodgers) then they are skipped in that respective round. So, I would go first in round one by picking one player, then Andrew in round one picks one, then Frank would start round two by picking one, followed by Phil, Jason, etc.

Ok, that clears that up. I'd take Nelson then, then probably a RB in round 2, as I imagine Dez, Hilton, Cooper are unlikely to make it back to you. Maybe Fournette?

Yeah, I'm also hopeful that a QB such as Brees will fall to me in the 3rd but who knows!

I wouldn't worry about taking a QB in round 3.  I would wait as there is a lot of depth at that position.

Enough depth, however, with it being a 6 point passing league wouldn't you want a QB who throws more TD's?

Since every QB gets that same bump it really doesn't affect the relative value of QB's amongst themselves.  There is still good quality depth at the QB position so it isn't as big of factor as you think.  The biggest factor is that it really diminishes the value of rushing QB's as their advantage of 6 pt rushing TD's goes away.  Those QB's take a hit in this scoring in relation to other QB's.
