Title: Keeper Question
Post by DC_Disaster on Mar 4^th, 2004, 8:29am

I have 2 teams that I can choose from in a keeper league I just joined and I need some help picking which team and who to Keep.

Standard scoring, 3 keeper league, 16 teams.

Team 1 has
McNabb
Harrison
C. Johnson
J. Walker
Horn
Duckett
A. Pinner
B. Forsey
Dunn

Team 2
Harrington
R. Moss
TO
Garner
Faulk
Betts
Fargus
LaMont Jordon

Imo,I like team 2.just cant pass up on t.o. and moss and if faulk can get it going again this team looks pretty good.Your a little weak at qb I still like it better.

Sorry, Team 2 has Kevin Faulk. If it were Marshall there would be no question on which team to take.

I was thinking #2 as well. I think I could trade TO for a good RB if he lands on a good team. I would look at keeping R. Moss, TO and Fargus. How do you think Fargus will do this year?

What do you think about Pinner in DET?

Thanks for the reply

Actually I dont know to much about pinner but I would still go with team 2.your losing a little at qb and making it up at wr.

With ALL due respect, fellas, I actually like Team 1 more. Believe it or not, besides the QB disparity, what makes Team 1 better to me is the last guy on the list, Warrick Dunn (in combination with Duckett, of course). That's the most guaranteed rushing situation on either team. As for trade value, you could probably get more for a Johnson, Walker, Horn package than you could for Owens straight up. Break down...

QB's: McNabb over Harrington, especially given his rushing if you are in a typical cumulative-fantasy-points system in which rushing QB's are overvalued; not to mention, Harrington still has A LOT to prove.

WR's: A wash, but Team 1 has much more depth.

RB's: Leans toward Team 2 with the upside of Fargas; Garner could be good depending on where he goes; others are question marks; Betts is a waste; as for Team 1, as I said above, the Duckett-Dunn combo is the safest, most solid RB sitch that exists on either team; Pinner is very intriguing and could be a big-time sleeper this year (of course, a Garner or Hearst to Detroit could quash that); Forsey is a waste.

That's my take. Hope I've helped and not just muddled your decision! Wouldn't you prefer the challenge, anyway?!?! [smiley=wiseguy.gif]

I would take team 1. The let the trading frenzy begin.
1st of all you only get to keep 3 guys. I hate 16 team league because there it is so thin across the board.
Mcnabb
Harrison-keep
Chad Johnson-keep
Horn
Walker
Duckett
Dunn
I would try to pkg Horn and Dunn or Duckett for a quality stable top 10 RB. Hell I would even package Mcnabb and Horn for a stud RB. Then maybe deal Horn for a 1, 2 or 3. Find someone RB heavy and WR light. In a league with only 3 keepers you will be able to find a Qb. The league I run is a 10 team and 3 keeper also. I kept Portis, Harrison and Shaun Alexander. I got T. Green and Bulger in the 5-7 rounds. For you that is more like 2-3 rounds.
There will be value for Horn, let him go for anything because you wont keep him.
Worst case is you keep Mcnabb, Chad and Harrison.
Or trade Chad for a stud RB and go 1-1-1. You could prolly get Edge, Taylor or Rudi for Chad and maybe a 5th rounder, at worst even up.
Good luck.

Well, thanks, kc, [smiley=bow.gif] but my last post regarding the possibility of Garner's going to Denver on the following thread could cause me to reverse my field regarding this big-time:

Just goes to show you how fast things change in the world of fantasy football (just like the stock exchange, huh?) and how closely-matched fantasy teams are. [smiley=yes.gif]

I think I would take tean two IF Garner signs with Denver. If that's the case, I'd keep Moss, TO and Charlie G. If he does not sign with the Broncos, I'd go with Steg's advice...

I think I would have alot of chances to upgrade at RB with either team.

Now that TO is a Raven, does that change his value? I think the QB situation is poor at best
Now BAL just needs to get a QB to get TO the ball.

It would be funny if Garcia ended up in BAL as well.

Does this change your feelings one way or the other?

Not really! I actually did not like any of the teams that were sniffing around Owens that much (Philly, Tampa, Baltimore, most notably), to be totally honest. HOWEVER, I plead my (optimistic) case for Owens's going to Baltimore on the "Terrell Owens tracker" thread:

http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=55;action=display;num=1076472205.

Garner's going to Denver, now that would change my vote without a doubt! [smiley=yes.gif]

Good luck! [smiley=shamrock.gif]
