Jeff, quick question......

10 team redraft league

Start: 1Q, 2 RB, 2 WR, Flex, TE, D, K

We have PPR scoring and some bumps for hitting yardage milestones, but standard 6pt/TD scoring

I've got the 2nd pick in our upcoming draft and I'm thinking SJax all the way unless the #1 owner drops the ball. So, in our 10 teamer, I'll have picks 19, 22, 39, 42

WR/WR at 19/22 giving me 2 of Chad/Smith/Harrison/Holt.....downside is my RB2 will be someone around the RB23-25 range based on my league's draft pattern.

or

RB/WR - or take best RB left (probably someone in the T. Jones/Cedric Benson range) and then one of the top 3 WRs who'll be there at 22. I'm hoping a Maroney falls to 19, but doubtful. We usually see 17 RBs go in rounds 1-2. I can then take a shot at something like WR 13-14 at 39 and 42.

I could be fine either way, but with PPR, I was leaning going RB/WR/WR. I did that last year and struck gold with Gore in round 4 and won the league.

What would you do and who is the 4th/5th round Gore in this draft that will score like a top 10-15 RB? Million dollar question there

Million dollar question there

I would definitely go RB/WR/WR as long as the WRs at the 2/3 turn are true studs. At the 4/5 turn, there will be some good options. The reason WR/WR works at the 2/3 turn is that the 4/5 RBs (Peterson, Lynch, Deuce, Jacobs, Ahman, and even Caddy) will come close to the 2/3 RBs of Benson or Edge. The only caveat is if a top RB slips ... which is highly unlikely. If you get two strong WRs at the 2/3 turn, you can always hodgepodge the WR3/4 position with cheap veterans later. A start like: SJax/Harrison/Holt/Ahman/Deuce is a great start, imo. To answer who I like as a sleeper in the 4th in PPR ..... I am not totally sold on Jacobs. But, he and Peterson offer a ton of upside. Ahman will catch some passes, but Dayne might get the goal line carries. Deuce will be solid and a top 20 RB again. If given the chance, I would swing for the fences on Jacobs and Peterson.

Jeff,

I have a real quick question...first time 12 team Dynasty league starting up and I have the #3 pick...pretty standard scoring (6pt/TD) and what not. I figure 1.1 and 1.2 will be LT & SJ but I am leary of taking LJ or Gore with the #3 pick. I'm really interested in WP but think it is a bit of a reach for him right now at #3. I have someone interested in the #3 pick at pick #7 but I don't know if I will be able to get WP there...any suggestions on who to take at 1.3?

Thanks.

Hey, welcome to footballguys.com.Do you know what you would get for the 1.03 pick from the owner of 1.07? I would stay put unless it was a good deal. To be honest, if you like Parker 3rd best of the RBs, it is not a crime. I have him ranked 5th for this season and he is young. Also, in dynasty, I like drafting players I like.

I do not think you could be faulted for taking LJ either. It is a risky move because of the holdout and the state of the Chief offense. I owuld tell you that I think1.03 could go a few different ways. I am currently in the "avoid LJ" mode until I see progress in him getting a deal. If he is signed, LJ is the 1.03 no question in my mind.

Yeah I'm in the same "avoid LJ" mindset myself...and agree with you 1.03 can go many different ways. Thanks for the help Jeff.

Jeff, I just asked this of Pasquino, as well, but would appreciate your take on it...

Have you ever heard of a keeper league that allows not just trading of future draft picks, but trading of keeper slots? My league has mandatory 4 keepers, but it has been proposed that one team could trade one of their keeper slots to another team for a draft pick, studlier keeper player, or the such. Therefore, one team would keep 5, the other would keep 3 for that year only.

I see a situation where..

Team 1 has Peyton, SSmith, THenry and garbage. In a keep-4, he'd have to keep some crap.

Team 2 has Rudi, Westbrook, Chad, Holt, and Gates. In a keep-4, he'd have to drop some real talent.

Team 1 offers Team 2 a keeper slot and THenry for Westbrook and a 4th round pick.

Team 1 now is Peyton, SSmith, Westbrook and a 4th after keeping 3. An improvement in quality + a draft pick

Team 2 now is Rudi, THenry, Chad, Holt and Gates after keeping 5. An added stud to be kept, slight downgrade in quality and the pick.

The following year, of course, each team would keep 4 as usual.

I've assumed for this case that no draft picks are sacrificed for each keeper, but I can see how this could be incorporated a couple of ways.

1) Have you seen this before?

2) What are the potential traps?

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

I have never seen that before. I think the opposing teams would not be for it since it makes the most effeicient use of the keepers. Most keeper leagues are dominated by a few that are better owners ....

New subscriber - Great forum and advice throughout here, by the way. draft pick trade question for you:

Draft coming up in three weeks, i have the number one pick in a 14-team redraft league, and i just traded my 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 8th round picks for the number 6 overall pick (1.06) plus 6.08, 10.08 and 14.08. we start 1QB, 1 RB, 2 WRs, 1 Flex RB/WR, 1 TE, DEF, K. standard scoring (6 pts / TD, no PPR).

so assuming the top 5 picks are RB's, do i take the next best RB available at #6, or do i take manning to lock up the clear top spots at both RB and QB?

i typically would not consider manning here, but depending on how the top 5 shake out i don't love the injury risk among the likes of gore, addai, alexander and westbrook. obviously with this trade i cannot afford an injury to my 2nd pick of the first round, esp given the lack of depth in a 14 team league. henry seems like a reach at 6 (although the fbg dominator application says he would be a good value here), so i am stuck.

do i dare take LT and Manning in round 1 and use my next 3 picks in rounds 5-6 to pick up a RB duo (your slough RB#2 strategy) plus the best WR available, then grab a TE in round 7?

or do you feel good enough about the quality of the #6 RB to take Gore or someone similar and deal with the QB in rounds 5-6-7 (hope for a romo or vince young type, if not better).

thanks in advance.

Welcome to footballguys.comThat is a bold move in a big league. With the scoring being non-PPR, I think you have to get RB2 with that pick. The RB2 will give you a huge advantage over other teams. If you get RB2 at this pick, you will not have to worry about RBs for a little bit and can look at WRs and addressing a startign QB. In a league that size, there will be no RBs left for your 5th round pick, but there will be QBs. On sloughing RB2, that works best if you take LT, then two WRs at the 2/3 turn, and then address RB in the 4th or 5th. But, with your picks, I think you have to get a stud RB2 at 1.06.

12 team dynasty league, standard non-ppr scoring, star 1qb, 2rb, 2wr, 1rb/wr, 1 te, 1k, 1def.

My current roster is as follows:

QB: Roethlisberger, Campbell

RB: Jackson, Portis, Bush, Peterson (Min), Gado

WR: Driver, R. Moss, Stallworth, Jennings, Hackett

TE: Gates, Scheffler

K: Kaeding, Longwell

Def: Chicago, New Orleans

The trade would be Clinton Portis, Antonio Gates, and Donte Stallworth for Steve Smith, Roy Williams, and Jeremy Shockey.

Note that I would have to pay quite a bit to keep Shockey after this year because of his contract.

I've been dying at WR all throughout this league, getting burned by Moss year 1, then Chambers last year. I made a move on Driver to try and add some stability but there are still a lot of questionmarks there, so adding a Smith/ROY combo to finally settle things is enticing. It would also leave me free to move Moss for a QB (have been offered Mcnabb for him) or some RB help, since the major downside to this trade is that I'd be relying on a lot of youth at RB, especially for a flex league.

Thoughts?

To be honest, I understand the frustration of not having WRs. But, since you are in a non-ppr league, the stud RB (Portis) and Gates are worth a little bit more. It means you will now rely on Bush and Peterson as RB2 and maybe flex. Also, you lose Shockey after one year. I think you could solve your problem by moving Portis and Stall for a lesser RB like Fred Taylor and a stud WR like Walker or Wayne (I probably am higher on Walker than most). An older RB will not be an issue since your other two RBs are so young in Bush and Peterson. Even getting Chester in the deal + a WR is a decent option. Plus you keep Gates.Hope this helps.

Good stuff Jeff.Unfortunately, swinging an elite WR/startable RB combo for Portis/Stallworth was the first thing I tried, and couldn't get anything done. Going right down the list of tier 1 WRs:

Steve Smith: this owner's RBs are Alexander, Maroney, and a bunch of NFL backups. Alexander and Maroney are obviously way too valuable to add in, and the other guys aren't worth having, and Smith's contract is a problem with Gates still rostered.

Reggie Wayne: I tried offering for Henry/Wayne or Deuce/Wayne, but both were rejected, and he has no other veteran RBs. I could maybe swing Moss/Portis for Deuce/Wayne, but don't think I'd want to do that.

Fitzgerald: I went after Fitz/Edge or Fitz/TJ, as again these were the only veteran RBs he had. He said he wouldn't do Fitz straight up for Portis, so there's really no way to deal here.

Harrison: Contract interferes with Gates', so I'd have to pay dearly to keep him after this year. Pretty old to move a stud RB for his prime for in a dynasty anyhow.

Owens: This team actually seems to have the right pairings for me (I think I could swing Owens/F Taylor or Owens/D Williams), but again Owens contract meshes poorly with Gates' so I don't know that I could afford him at the end of the year, and he's also getting up there in years as well.

Holt: Another team that seems to have the right pairings, as he has a couple barely startable RBs (Julius Jones, W. Dunn) and desperately needs a stud. Again though, contract doesn't work with Gates' (guess you can see why I was thinking of moving Gates)

Chad: I've made it pretty clear on these boards how I feel about Chad, and that is that he doesn't belong in this tier with these other guys and there's no way I would ever pay his current perceived value for him. Doesn't really matter though, as his owner has Gore, R. Brown, Mcgahee, and a couple backups at RB so there's no deal that could get done there.

Even in the next group of guys, the Boldin owner said he would not do Boldin/Caddy (I probably wouldn't take that anyhow). I could possibly swing Boldin/MB3 (haven't asked him), but don't think I'd want that anyway. The only offer to come my way was Calvin Johnson/Ahman Green for Portis, but Calvin is not (and may or may not ever be) a stud WR already at this point. I could probably swing Evans/Ahman for Portis, but I'm weary of an Evans dropoff and he's not really the sure-thing kind of guy I was looking for when giving up a young stud RB in a dynasty.

Man, what a quandry. The WRs that are the best fit are the worst for contracts. I was thinking Julius/Holt is a fair deal, but contracts do not work. Same with TO.A couple of ideas:

a. You say you do not like Evans. Do you like Walker? He is jumping up my rankings.

b. Do you think you could look at the WR problem from a different direction? I like Hackett and Jennings but understand reservations relying on those two. Can you trade Moss and Stallworth for WR upgrade? I like your QBs well enough to hold pat with Ben as a starter instead of trading for McNabb.

c. I do not know what the cap implications are but one thought would be to drop Gado or a Kicker or Defense for a waiver wire WR . Your four RBs are good enough that Gado has little appeal and I am sure there are decent WRs available considering your shallow rosters (18 players, I believe).

Jeff, quick question......10 team redraft leagueStart: 1Q, 2 RB, 2 WR, Flex, TE, D, KWe have PPR scoring and some bumps for hitting yardage milestones, but standard 6pt/TD scoringI've got the 2nd pick in our upcoming draft and I'm thinking SJax all the way unless the #1 owner drops the ball. So, in our 10 teamer, I'll have picks 19, 22, 39, 42WR/WR at 19/22 giving me 2 of Chad/Smith/Harrison/Holt.....downside is my RB2 will be someone around the RB23-25 range based on my league's draft pattern.orRB/WR - or take best RB left (probably someone in the T. Jones/Cedric Benson range) and then one of the top 3 WRs who'll be there at 22. I'm hoping a Maroney falls to 19, but doubtful. We usually see 17 RBs go in rounds 1-2. I can then take a shot at something like WR 13-14 at 39 and 42.I could be fine either way, but with PPR, I was leaning going RB/WR/WR. I did that last year and struck gold with Gore in round 4 and won the league. What would you do and who is the 4th/5th round Gore in this draft that will score like a top 10-15 RB? Million dollar question there

I would definitely go RB/WR/WR as long as the WRs at the 2/3 turn are true studs. At the 4/5 turn, there will be some good options. The reason WR/WR works at the 2/3 turn is that the 4/5 RBs (Peterson, Lynch, Deuce, Jacobs, Ahman, and even Caddy) will come close to the 2/3 RBs of Benson or Edge. The only caveat is if a top RB slips ... which is highly unlikely. If you get two strong WRs at the 2/3 turn, you can always hodgepodge the WR3/4 position with cheap veterans later. A start like: SJax/Harrison/Holt/Ahman/Deuce is a great start, imo. To answer who I like as a sleeper in the 4th in PPR ..... I am not totally sold on Jacobs. But, he and Peterson offer a ton of upside. Ahman will catch some passes, but Dayne might get the goal line carries. Deuce will be solid and a top 20 RB again. If given the chance, I would swing for the fences on Jacobs and Peterson.

Jeff, regarding my post above....assuming I get SJax at 1.02, you suggested going WR/WR at 2/3, UNLESS a good RB fell. What level of RB would make you think twice at #19? PPR league. Let's say a Maroney or MJD or Benson are there....those would make me think RB at 19 and WR at 22. Maybe. Benson has big upside. Realistically, I can see my options being McGahee, T. Jones or someone at 19 and I might just go with S. SMith or Chad. Just didn't know what RBs would be worth passing on a S. SMith or CHad at that spot.

Jones/Cedric Benson range) and then one of the top 3 WRs who'll be there at 22. I'm hoping a Maroney falls to 19, but doubtful. We usually see 17 RBs go in rounds 1-2. I can then take a shot at something like WR 13-14 at 39 and 42.I could be fine either way, but with PPR, I was leaning going RB/WR/WR. I did that last year and struck gold with Gore in round 4 and won the league. What would you do and who is the 4th/5th round Gore in this draft that will score like a top 10-15 RB? Million dollar question there

I would definitely go RB/WR/WR as long as the WRs at the 2/3 turn are true studs. At the 4/5 turn, there will be some good options. The reason WR/WR works at the 2/3 turn is that the 4/5 RBs (Peterson, Lynch, Deuce, Jacobs, Ahman, and even Caddy) will come close to the 2/3 RBs of Benson or Edge. The only caveat is if a top RB slips ... which is highly unlikely. If you get two strong WRs at the 2/3 turn, you can always hodgepodge the WR3/4 position with cheap veterans later. A start like: SJax/Harrison/Holt/Ahman/Deuce is a great start, imo. To answer who I like as a sleeper in the 4th in PPR ..... I am not totally sold on Jacobs. But, he and Peterson offer a ton of upside. Ahman will catch some passes, but Dayne might get the goal line carries. Deuce will be solid and a top 20 RB again. If given the chance, I would swing for the fences on Jacobs and Peterson.

Jeff, regarding my post above....assuming I get SJax at 1.02, you suggested going WR/WR at 2/3, UNLESS a good RB fell. What level of RB would make you think twice at #19? PPR league. Let's say a Maroney or MJD or Benson are there....those would make me think RB at 19 and WR at 22. Maybe. Benson has big upside. Realistically, I can see my options being McGahee, T. Jones or someone at 19 and I might just go with S. SMith or Chad. Just didn't know what RBs would be worth passing on a S. SMith or CHad at that spot.

RBs I would consider: Willis, Maroney, DrewIf those three are not there, take WR in 2nd and 3rd. It means very good WRs slid in the draft. WRs I would look for at the turn: TO, Smith, Wayne, Harrison, Holt.If you go RB/RB/WR, then you can take a good 4th round WR like Housh, Driver, or Plax. If RB/WR/WR, there are good RBs in the 4th like Deuce, Peterson, or even MBarber. In a PPR league, and good WR options in the 2nd round, I would only take a top RB over those guys.

We are getting to the time of year with tons of activity. I cannot get to all of the questions in the forum like I could in the summer. If you want something answered, post in this thread and I will answer.

 

[jerry jones]

i can keep 7 players...10 team league non-ppr

choices are

qb: rivers

rb: edge, rudi, portis,betts, norwood

wr: colston

te: shockey

i figure my choice is between rivers and betts

i was thinking i should keep rivers, as the only qb's

available at our auction look like

brady, romo, favre

what do you think?

I would keep Betts as I favor those other three over Rivers this year. Plus, having Betts allows you not to sweat the RB position.

Hey Jeff,

12 team 4 player keeper league

standard scoring with .5pts/rec for RB's, 1pt/rec for WR's & 1.5pts/rec for TE's.

startes 1QB, 2RB's, 2 WR's, 1 TE 1flex(RB, WR, TE), 1 K, 1 DEF

My keepers Palmer, Clayton, Winslow, BAL

my ist 2 picks were CJ, & R. Brown.

I have picks 3.01 & 3.08 coming up who should I take.

Players still available,Housh, R. Williams. Driver, Boldin, AJ, Portis, Caddy, T. Jones, A. Green, J. Lewis also Heap, Shockey, Gonzalez.

If Williams is still there at 3.01 which is 2 picks away I will take him, but if he is not who do I take would you take TJ with already having Palmer & CJ or take Driver.

I want to take a WR here because I think there will be a run on WR's before my next pick. I can get one of the above RB's at 3.08 which I will take the BAP at RB with this pick.

So what do you think I should do.

I would take Portis at 3.01 and WR at 3.08. There are 7 picks between your two picks and five decent WRs you listed. I see a much bigger drop at RB than at WR. All of thpose WRs are so close, but Portis is head and shoulders ahead of those RBs, imo.

Hi-

League Details

This is a full 12 team, 18 player Dynasty. It's heavily weighted towards TDs, and also points for receptions.

Start 1 QB; 2 RBs; 3 WRs; 1 K; 1 D/ST

My Team

Running Backs: Steven Jackson (Stl), Rudi Johnson (Cin), Edge (Ari) and Lamont Jordan (Oak) at RB.

Wide Receivers: Larry Fitz, Hines Ward, Andre Johnson (Hou), Cotchery (NYJ), Joe Horn and Donte Stallworth.

Quarterbacks: McNabb, Delhomme, Garcia, Leftwich and Culpepper.

Anyways, my question is:

I have another owner who is very weak at WR and has some good young RBs he is willing to trade in Maroney or Jones-Drew.

He is very high on Andre Johnson.

Would you trade Andre Johnson & Lamont Jordan (or Edge) for Maroney (or MJD)? Which one? Is this way too much for either RB?

Thanks!

I would do it, and target Drew. Also, I would try to get a WR prospect back in the deal. If not, I would do the deal as is for Drew.

Went with Williams since Portis ended up going the pick before mine. Who should I take with the 3.08, the only players avialable from the list is T. Jones, Caddy, & J. Lewis. I have 1 pick before it is my turn. I am leaning towards T. Jones right now.

I would go with Jones as well and try to get Leon later on. With the Ced Houston retirement, those are the only two RBs left in JetsLand.

 

[toppshelff]

14 team league, start up to 3 RBs (premium), 0.5 PPR.

I have LT, Gore, Portis locked up as keepers (woohoo)

I have 3 1st round picks and an early 2nd (woohoo)

I think I'm solid, so am willing to gamble with my 4th keeper (high risk, high reward, not the safe pick).

Who has the higher upside this year and in the future:

Norwood

DeAngelo

Caddie

KJones

DJax (in case you really don't think 4 RBs is the way to go).

Trades happen often, so extra RBs can always be moved to fill extra roster spots. With picks 1.04 and 1.05 I should be able to get WRs (e.g. Evans, Colston, Calvin), and either Bulger or Kitna will drop to my 2.03 pick. I also have 1.14 to play with (Turner?).

Yes, I'm trying to trade like crazy for a better keeper or more draft picks, but if all else stays the same...

Who would you keep?

I like KJ best for pure upside. Everything I read is positive. But, the issue is you might be able to keep another RB and get KJ later in the draft. I like Norwood, but have a problem with him getting enough carries. I am not a fan of the Panther RBs. I see Caddy as overrated by many. And I would take any of these RBs over DJax.I would take KJ and then snag Tatum if cheap enough in middle rounds. If not, you have the depth. I would look for Betts, too since Portis is nicked. The one thing to think about is if Portis has a slower recovery than expected, you might consider Caddy or Norwood to give you an immediate starter so you are not dependent on KJ and Portis.

Jeff, we covered some of this a week or so ago. Draft is tommorow night (8/24). I'm pretty set on going RB/WR/WR in our 10-team with me having the 2nd overall pick (PPR league). Unless a very solid RB falls. Looking at having the strongest starting lineup, what are your thoughts on me going for yet another WR in round 4 at pick 39? I could have a starting lineup something likeRB SjaxRB MarshawnWR ChadWR HoltWR Driver (or Anquan/Andre J.)Not bad.Or, in my initial plan, take RB/RB at 4/5 turn, giving me a little more depth at RB, yet keeping two stud WRs. Issue do you maximize your flex position and starting lineup, hoping you can fill in RB depth in rounds 5+, or focus on RB depth.Then, there is Dodd's Perfect Draft article, that says draft the top 50 on a Best player available basis, then fill in depth. This strategy would lend itself to going WR in round 4.Starting requirements: 1Q, 2R, 2WR, Flex, TE, K, D.

In the drafts I have seen, the RBs at the 4/5 turn are the last in the tier. That is where the value is. Guys like Peterson, MBarber, Jacobs even, Ahman Green, etc. are great steals at the 4/5 turn. Also, WR is easier to find in middle rounds than RB. There are always guys like Galloway and others that will be very good, but cheap, wr3/4 types.RB depth is hard to come by post draft. One other RB I like in middle rounds is Leon Washington, especially in PPR leagues. I worry about TJones this yr.

standard scoring no PPR

my team

McNabb, Garcia, B. Croyle

Would you trade a 2008 2nd round pick for Joe Horn. 2nd round pick will probably be in the 10-14 spot.

Also, I know these are just kickers but I have Akers, would you drop him for Gostkowski.

Thanks

Gostkowski has not had a good preseason. Hold tight with Akers for now. If you are going to trade a 2nd for a WR, I would look at Bruce, VJax, Marshall, or even Curtis. I am not sure how much Horn has left in the tank.

2.09 Chad (1st WR taken)

3.02 S. Smith (2nd WR)

4.09 Ahman Green

5.02 Adrian Peterson (pleased to get him, but missed on Chester later....one regret)

6.09 Tatum Bell

7.02 Vince Young (7th QB taken)

8.09 Jerrico Cotchery

9.02 Joey Galloway

10.09 Big Ben

11.02 Jason Witten (5th TE taken, started a run on TEs here in 11th)

12.09 Steelers

13.02 Leon Washington (figured iwth TJ's uncertainty, good value at this point)

14.09 Robbie Gould

15.02 Brian Leonard

All in all, I was pretty pleased, though I'm not sold on my WR depth. Could use Washington and Tatum Bell as trade bait.

I appreciate your work taking and answering questions and your answers make a lot of sense. Thanks for the help.

I'm in a 14-team keeper league - can keep 3. Start 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 2 FLEX, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF team. 1 point per catch for WRs & TEs. Keepers right now are Rudi, Torry Holt, and Caddy Williams.

I have options to trade Caddy for WRs like Andre Johnson or in that tier. Caddy has me worried. Others are down on him too. My gut wants to move him for WR - 1 point per catch for WR - but I wonder about the cost. If I trade Caddy for Fitzgerald, I feel like I might have to draft a RB like Jamal Lewis or Fred Taylor with my first pick since the big keeper league loves RBs and the RB pool is already shallow. I think if I don't draft RB then and wait, I better hope Rudi is tough all year and doesn't get hurt because the RBs left later will be worthless most weeks or at best, someone like Betts or Warrick Dunn that will split a lot of time and have some real low point weeks. If I keep Caddy, then I might have more draft options(??). Could draft WR2, Gates. Seems like it is Rudi, Holt, Caddy, WR2, WR3/QB vs. Rudi, Holt, Fitzgerald, Jamal/Fred, WR2/QB. In a big keeper league is one of those a lot better than the other?

I have a Question i have to choose between E Manning or J Russell in my Dynasty League . I all ready have Bulger and McNabb . Which QB do you like ?

And i just drafted Lorenzo Booker, RB and Antonio Pittman, RB in my Dynasty League. How do you think thay will pan out ?

Jeff, you and I traded posts a week or two ago about my draft strategy. 10 team, redraft with PPR format. 6pt/td.Starting 1Q, 2RB, 2WR, Flex, TE, D, KDrafting out of the 2 slot, I chose to go RB/WR/WR, then fill in RB depth, as you suggested w/ our PPR league.1.02 Sjax2.09 Chad (1st WR taken)3.02 S.

You had a great draft. Two good QBs, great RB depth and four top WRs. Since you only start 2 WRs each week (plus a flex), I would hold tight on you RB depth. RB depth is so underrated this time of year. When the injuries start, those RBs will be worth GOLD. You really did a great a job. congrats.

I like Eli better for dynasty since he is a starter. I expect a down year for Eli in 2007, but bounce back in 2008 after Coughlin is gone. Eli has been a top QB in the past and has over 20 TDs twice. I like Booker, but he will be better in PPR leagues because he will not carry the ball as much as he will be used in special circumstances. Pittman was a favorite of mine in the draft. He is a guy you have to hold for a year. But, in general, I like both RBs. You can find a clip on youtube that showcases Pittman in college. It is 4 minutes plus. The guy hits the hole hard and has good vision.

I would trade Caddy for the top WR. You can draft RBs like Fred Taylor, Kevin Jones, Betts, etc with the first couple of picks. The issue is that if you lock up the two top WRs, you can address RB in the draft. Ideas for RB2/3 might be the TBell/KJ combo or BJackson/Morency combo much cheaper than Caddy and at a good price. I would avoid: Dunn, Jamal, etc as they are not good 2007 options in PPR leagues. I do like Fred Taylor, Julius Jones, and even Leon Washington late are better options.

12 team league with standard scoring (except .33 PPR). Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, RB/WR, TE, K, D

Easily my worst draft ever...in fact I hate my team.

QB: V Young and Big Ben

RB: W Parker, C Benson, A Green, A Peterson (CHI), M Pittman

WR: S Moss, J Galloway, S Holmes, J Porter, I Bruce, E Kennison

TE: A Gates

K: N Kaeding

D: Carolina and Oakland

I have zero depth at RB to make trades to improve my team and my WR's aren't strong enough (especially #1). QB's are good as is TE obviously, but I need zero injuries at RB and Moss, Galloway, Holmes to play like studs. I really want to trade to get a better #1 WR but I have nothing to trade.

Thoughts on what I can do other then pray?

I like your team ok enough. The issue you will have is finding upside. I think Ahman will be productive. I do like your WR corps. When I drafted and took Gates in the 3rd, I felt the same way. The only solace is the hope that Gates makes up for any deficiency. Your WRs will be good, but they are the old reliable vets that most de-value. The one guy you can move is VY. VY and Ahman might get you a RB upgrade and a lesser QB2. What RBs are on the waiver wire?

Problem is that Young was the #10 QB taken so people didn't value him much since he fell to me.For some reason, I have advocated against it for years, there are 17 rounds. So finding anything of value on waivers is next to impossible.J Chattman is available, if the Miami rumors are true, and I'll be putting a waiver wire claim on him (dropping Kennison). I'll also drop Pittman for Davenport to handcuff Parker.

Hi Jeff-

I still haven't pulled off any deals in my Keeper League. Need your advice on 2 scenarios:

League Details

This is a full 12 team, 18 player Dynasty. It's heavily weighted towards TDs, and also points for receptions.

Start 1 QB; 2 RBs; 3 WRs; 1 K; 1 D/ST

My Team

Running Backs: Steven Jackson (Stl), Peterson (Chi), Rudi Johnson (Cin), Edge (Ari) and Lamont Jordan (Oak) at RB.

Wide Receivers: Larry Fitz, Hines Ward, Andre Johnson (Hou), Cotchery (NYJ), Joe Horn and Donte Stallworth.

Quarterbacks: McNabb, Delhomme, Garcia, Leftwich and Culpepper.

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

Anyways, my questions are:

(1) I have another owner who is very weak at WR and has some good young RBs he is willing to trade in Maroney.

He is very high on Andre Johnson, but doesn't want to trade for him straight up.

Would you trade Andre Johnson & Edge for Maroney & Curry?

(2) Also another owner who loves AJ. He is offering Marshawn Lynch & Galloway for AJ, Lefty & my 1st rounder in 2008 (rookie/FA draft).

What do you think? Stay pat, or make a deal? Thanks!

Thanks!

Jeff - Quick question for you...I have been offered the following trade in my dynasty league:

I give Ahman Green and one of my wide receivers for one of the following quarterbacks:

Daunte Culpepper...Jason Campbell...Kellen Clemens...Tarvaris Jackson...J.P. Losman

The league has 12 teams and performance scoring. We start 1 QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1K and 1DEF.

Here is my team:

QB Ben Roethlisberger, Byron Leftwich, Brett Favre, Trent Edwards, Drew Stanton

RB Larry Johnson, Reggie Bush, Willis McGahee, Ahman Green, LenDale White, DeShawn Foster, T.J. Duckett

WR Roy Williams, Larry Fitzgerald, Torry Holt, Lee Evans, Marques Colston, Braylon Edwards, Vincent Jackson, Dwayne Bowe

TE Jeremy Shockey, Marcedes Lewis

K Josh Brown, Josh Scobee

DEF Cowboys, Bengals

Using your dynasty rankings, I would assume the best offer would be Vincent Jackson and Ahman Green for JP Losman. As ridiculous as that looks in print, I am not giving up much but getting more depth at my weakest and thinnest position, quarterback. I am also considering Jason Campbell and am not sure which one is the better dynasty answer. The question is, would you do this deal or am I overly concerned about quarterbacks?

I appreciate your help.

1. I would not do that deal, but it is close. You are giving two proven players for two guys with potential.2. NO WAY would I give AJ, a decent QB and a 2008 1st for an unproven RB (even with talent) and a soon to be 36 year old WR. In a year, it would look like a bad deal for you, especially id Lynch is still in a rbbc.

I know it looks like you are not giving much. But, no way I would trade a good wr and a decent rb for one of those qbs. You will notice on my rankings that I value RB highest, then WR, then QB. It is because RBs are hardest to find. To be honest, I would not trade either player alone for one of those QBs. I would prefer to try to get Harrington or Garrard on the cheap or off of waivers. Your QBs are good and your team is great. You might need the depth later on for trades or to endure injuries. So i would not waste it on one of those QBs.

I like Morris this year. If you can find a QB-starved team, I would shoot for a RB in the 10-13 range like: rudi, willis, drew, etc. I would not take anything less at this time. Green should be around RB20 and VY QB6-10 (depending on preference). The RB upgrade (to one of those three RBs is about two points per game. If you really like VY, and think you can move Ben instead, it is worth a try. You might at least start with Ben/Ahman for a RB, if you like VY a ton. The difference in the FBG projections between Ben and VY is small (5 points over an entire season).
