If Nick Foles can build on his stellar performance last year, Maclin can come back healthy, and you can add a few solid defensive pieces through the draft, I can see you guys making a deep run in the playoffs. You have a lot of talent, and last year you had the best QB in the division which is huge. If I was going to make a pick right now for the NFC East standings it'd be: 1. Eagles 2. Giants 3. Redskins 4. Cowboys top to bottom will probably only be separated by 2 or 3 games.
I say Foles collapses this year, watching the tape of him play i don't like his throws he's basically Andy Dalton except luckier.

Ah shit apparently my league from last year decided to do keepers and they want us to pick ours before the draft tonight. I'm in a PPR league. Who should I keep? My main players are
QB: Matt Ryan
RB: LeSean McCoy
RB: Alfred Morris
WR: Dez Bryant
WR: Steve Johnson
TE: Vernon Davis
Flex: I guess Doug Martin here since I had him but he didn't play a lot last year before getting hurt and didn't produce too much before that
I was thinking of keeping McCoy but should I be worried at all about Philly's offense regressing with a year of tape on them, losing Jackson, and Foles probably not being as good in general?

McCoy is guaranteed to get a shit ton of touches and probably finish top 5 barring injury (He's still pretty young).
Vernon Davis is the only one even in consideration. He is likely a top 5 TE.
I think the smart play is to keep McCoy you could easily lose him in the first round. If you want a big TE go for Graham if he makes it to round 2 or look for Thomas, GronK, Davis, in the 4th or beyond Cameron will probably be a pick that hangs out for a long time if you want a big value late.
Of course drafts are heavily influenced by the composition of the league members football knowledge. If the knowledge is mostly superficial or being pulled from stats or google searches you can find some 'no-name' diamonds near the bottom of the draft.

So Foles must be the luckiest QB in the history of the NFL then? Well you know what they say about luck...

Ok. I figured keeping McCoy was my best bet. I just wanted to see if anyone thought someone like Davis or Bryant would be valuable enough in a PPR league to keep over him. McCoy had 19.5 points per game in our scoring system and Byrant had 17.9. Hopefully McCoy can just stay at a similar level. Thanks

Yeah I guess you could make a case for bryant too I just hate Romo and if you really want him you'll you will have a chance to get him. McCoy was just the only one you could lose in the first round, Unless your league is not so bright ;P

What's the cost of keeping in your league? Just the round where you drafted them?
Edit: Also need more info to help you. Judging by your team, I'm guessing it was a 10 person league? Is it a full point ppr? If the cost is the round where the player was drafted, what round did you draft each member of your team?

It's 8 person league. Cost is where you drafted them. full ppr? I guess if you mean 1 reception = 1 point. I'm not the biggest fantasy person so I'm kind of a noob. We also don't have it set up for decimals in points in this league. Only whole numbers for whatever reason.
Dez Bryant was a 3rd rounder for me. I acquired Lesean Mccoy in a trade where the other person drafted him in the 2nd round and I traded a 5th rounder for him so I need to check how that works. I assume I lose the 2nd round pick for keeping him and 3rd for Dez. Davis was my 8th pick as the 4th TE to go behind Graham, Gronk, and Gonzalez (live in GA so falcons players typically get inflated from the 2 years I've played). Doug Martin was my 1st rounder lol. Didn't go too well.

That's tough. I think in an 8 person league, you'd have Bryant as the (approximately) 20th player to be kept and Davis as the 68th (about). I feel in this small of a league, the advantage of having a stud TE is not as good as a stud WR (think Points Above Replacement) as the TE drop off is terrible as you go deeper than 8, plus you're bound to have to play more WRs.
I've never played in a keeper football league, but I've played keeper baseball and another thing that I've found to be noteworthy is to see what the rest of the league is keeping. For example, keepers often depress the value of players to be taken with higher picks: for example, Zac Stacey is probably kept for a great bargain (let's say the 8th round) but is worth much better than that (let's say a 2nd, purely hypothetical). This makes the higher rounds picks that people who aren't keeping have less valuable. Therefore, keeping Davis and having the 3rd might not be as valuable.
I'd keep Bryant.

ugh... this is our first year doing keepers (this will be our 3rd year playing together). apparently there was too much bitching about how to do the cost and now they are saying you will just lose your 1st round pick if you keep someone
|
I think that might be worth doing for Shady. What pick do you have?
|
United States97276 Posts
We don't know the draft order yet. Shits a mess. Might be pushing it back because league manager has no idea what he's doing
|
Yeah the keeper thing matters with what pick you have obviously. In a PPR league, Dhady could be first overall material anyway.
C'mon, Khalil, do your job and drop to us at 9!

dont keep davis. you can replace your tight end a whole lot easier than you can rbs or wrs. you cant lose dez or mccoy from that roster, everyone else can be replaced by name-brand whoever.
