Keeper League Opinions

I mentioned this topic in an earlier thread. It's a 12 team league keeping three players. I kept Addai, Stephen Jackson and Randy Moss. I couldn't budge the owner with Steve Smith to trade me him for Portis and Moss so I go into the draft (drafting 3rd) with the following players available. Need some opinions.
QBs available
Mark Bulger
Donavan McNabb
Jon Kitna
Eli Manning
Alex Smith
Matt Hasselbeck
Matt Leinart
Jake Delhomme
JP Losman
Brett Favre
Phillip Rivers
WR available
Lee Evans
Donald Driver
Javon Walker
Roy Williams
Anquan Boldin
Larry Fitzgerald
TJ Houshmandzadeh
RB Available
Chester Taylor
Fred Taylor
Marion Barber
Warrick Dunn
Clinton Portis

I'd love McNabb but Larry Fitzgerald would be sweet. The teams drafting ahead of me 1 has a Drew Brees, Edgerin James and Travis Henry so he could easily go WR. the next team has Thomlinson, Alge Crumpler and Reggie Wayne. One team could take the WR I want while the other the QB. Opinions?

 

Only 5 teams kept QBs as keepers so if I want McNabb, Bulger, Hasselbeck or Romo I would need to grab him 3rd or wait until the next round and take a Leinart or Delhomme type

 

What is your scoring system and roster set-up?

 

Passing 4 points for every TD passed.
Bonus Scoring:
Any passing TD of 40-79 yards will include a 2 point bonus.
Any passing TD of 80+ yards will include a 4 point bonus.
Rushing 6 points for every TD rushed.
Bonus Scoring:
Any rushing TD of 40-79 yards will include a 2 point bonus.
Any rushing TD of 80+ yards will include a 4 point bonus.
Receiving 6 points for every TD received.
Bonus Scoring:
Any receiving TD of 40-79 yards will include a 2 point bonus.
Any receiving TD of 80+ yards will include a 4 point bonus.

 

They give 1 point per 10 yards receiving and rushing, 1 point per 25 yard passing

 

What about rosters? Any flex positions?


With that scoring set-up, I don't see much reason to chase a QB early. There isn't an enormous amount of difference between the 6th best guy and the 12th best guy, so you could theoretically wait quite a few rounds before taking one. The WRs look best, and once those are gone you can stock up on RBs. I wish I was in a keeper league just because I'd want to own Adrian Peterson.

I don't know which of those WRs I'd like the best, but you're guaranteed a good one. You seem to be favoring Fitzgerald, but I'm not sure I wouldn't prefer Roy Williams. Either of those two, Boldin, Evans, or Javon Walker would be attractive.

 

You have to start 1 QB, and either (2 RB 2 WR) or (1 RB and 3 WR) a TE, K, def/SPT

 

Hrm, that devalues WRs a bit and means it's not quite as important to have backup RBs, but I'd still go with one of those wide receivers first.

 

ez.. fitz

 

Draft underway. WRs went 1,2 Fitzgerald and Walker. I went McNabb
