We're running a pretty elaborate 16 team keeper league with custom scoring and IDP. I'm going to draft at #11. First of all, here's my keepers: - Philip Rivers - Frank Gore - Reggie Wayne - DeSean Jackson Some important scoring notes: - TDs are 4pt - 0.5 PPR - 1pt for 15 receiving yards - 1pt for 25 kick return yards - 1pt for 15 punt return yards And here's the top 15-20 players available: (in no particular order) Ryan Matthews (x) Matt Forte (x) C.J. Spiller (x) Greg Jennings (x) Ronnie Brown Jahvid Best (x) Michael Crabtree (x) Cadillac Williams Hines Ward Mike Sims-Walker Hakeem Nicks Ahmad Bradshaw Darren Sproles (insane points last season due to PPR and returns) Fred Jackson (same) Brandon Jacobs Ricky Williams x = player I'm sure will be drafted ahead of me And finally the all important question: Whom would you target and why?
Nicks much more than anyone else you think would be there. Nicks is young and just about to take off so that's great for a keeper. Esp in ppr. Ronnie Brown would be the only other one out of that group. He def isn't as exciting but he should put up solid numbers while he's healthy.
Didn't Nicks break his ankle last year? I know he was doing great but didn't he suffer a season ending injury?
Yep, that and he played through another. I owned both MSW and Bradshaw last year and they drove me crazy. MSW esp when he'd practice all week and then be a scratch on Sun morning. Don't get me wrong, Nicks has to stay healthy also. But, I think his ceiling is a lot higher.
