Huge Keeper League help (updated keeper list)

Had a really shitty team last year so I get the second pick this year, however know nothing about keeper leagues.

[Seabass]

lots of RBs gone already to not go RB here

 

[signalcaller]

Yeah def. not going to go RB. I have it between Romo, or WR just because of the PPR. I dont think theres any other QB worth taking is there?

 

[Fondybadger]

Brian Westbrook? Steven Jackson?

 

[Fondybadger]

I think Seabass is saying you HAVE to take a rb there

 

[signalcaller]

Wow I didnt even see Westbrook not on that list. Maybe he made a mistake when he typed up the list but if he didnt thats def. the pick. I feel dumb not seeing that.

 

[signalcaller]

Thought I forgot some. Westbrook, Lynch, Colston are also on the list. Now what do you do Fondy? Are you worried about SJax holdout at all

I'd definitely be worried about that, but...

What positions do you play?
How many teams in the league?

 

[signalcaller]

QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, WR or RB, K, DEF

12 teams, snake draft

 

[Seabass]

IMO its Steven Jackson and then maurice Jones-Drew one two...

[Seabass]

Your set at WR, especially if you can get a matt Forte-Kevin Smith type to be your WR/RB.

At Qb other than Romo and Brees theres nothing worth getting excited about, so just wait and get the Matt Hasselbeck type QB faller...

 

[Fondybadger]

Only thing I'm going to add to what seabass has to say is I might and I mean might go with Tony Romo if Jackson is off the board and you don't like Jones-Drew. With getting 6 points per td and the yardage bonuses I give him a little bump. You'll be starting 3 WR's on a weekly basis, so you don't completely wipe that out.

My list in order
Steven Jackson
Tony Romo
Darren McFadden (hey it is a keeper league)
Maurice Jones-Drew
T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Drew Brees
Jamal Lewis
Willie Parker
Anquan Boldin
Jason Witten/Jeremy Shockey Roy Williams
Santonio Homes
Laurence Maroney
Brandon Marshall
Greg Jennings
Roddy White
Laveranues Coles
Jerricho Cotchery

The more I think about things, the more I believe you need to take a RB and run. Best value WR or maybe a TE at pick #2 (or if Brees drops), then WR/TE/QB at #3

 

[signalcaller]

Alright great info Fondy and Sea. This is going to help me a lot

 

[Seabass]

MJD in a keeper league can be solid, Fred Taylor can't last forever and keep in mind its a PPR

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

No doubt about it, you must go RB. Hopefully Jackson goes #1 (and he should), and you can grab Jones-Drew. If Jones-Drew goes 1, take the gamble with Jackson in this spot.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Jamal Lewis should be in the convo too, but I like Jones-Drew over him in a ppr.
