Fantasy Football keeper advice wanted

Hey all you Fantasy Footbal minds, here's a tough one.

14 team league. I've got 4 potential keepers and I can keep 3.

Aaron Rodgers (no brainer, 6 pts for pass TD league)

then it gets tricky...

LeSean McCoy
CJ Spiller
Jimmy Graham

Graham is a near lock for #1 TE barring injuries but it's hard to drop a stud RB... :scratch:

Assuming I keep 3, I would then not draft until the 4th round which would give me pick #50 or so in a 14 team league.

Starting spots are:
QB
RB
RB
WR
WR
RB/WR
TE
K

I would keep McCoy and Graham. Not sure how Spiller will do. Jackson is still the roster, and Spiller's numbers last year were historic and not necessarily repeatably. That team situation is obviously the worst. Meanwhile, McCoy is on Chip Kelly's team, who loves to run the ball, and you covered Graham.

McCoy and gram
Hands down

Spiller plays on a bad team and although he is the one major bright spot on offense I don't think he can be trusted long term. Shady will catch balls out of the back field and graham is the best TE in the league due to Hernandez and Gronk issues for the pats.

Thanks for replies...my co-owner and I were leaning towards keeping the 2 RBs, but we still have a week to decide. No point in deciding now in case someone gets hurt in pre-season...  :o

As good as Graham is, I'd still lean towards keeping the 2 RB.  To be honest though, the 2 RB listed are potential RB1 while at the same time able to slip to a RB3.  And we know with Sean Payton back, he'll probably pull a Belicheck and run up the score in every game, so Graham is looking good.

After all is said and done, I'd probably go with Rodgers/McCoy/Graham knowing full well I'll take a RB with my first pick.  Then get your WR in the next two rounds.

I think if the right WR is available you might take him over ur 2nd RB, really just depends on who it is.

Spiller is going to have a breakout year.  You have to keep the two RB's.  No question about it.  Graham is rediculously good, yes, but RB's are so slim this year.  With a 4th round pick, you're already looking at backup RB's or score leachers to fill in your #2 RB spot.  There are tight ends that are out there that will get you 3 pts less a week than Graham on a consistant basis.  That's still pretty decent.  Heck... you can get GB's TE Jermichal Finley in like the 9th round of a 14 team league.  Go with him. :D

I don't play Fantasy football, so I cannot speak for the point system, but I think CJ Spiller is going to have a big year. If EJ Manuel gets a lot of starts, then CJ's numbers will be huge. Manuel is a lot like Russell Wilson, and Marshawn Lynch had a big year last year under Wilson. Similarly Albert Morris had big numbers under RG3. Of course, if Manuel doesn't play much after his knee "procedure" then the Bills will go to Kevin Kolb, who won't strike fear into many defenders. I would expect the Bills to give the ball to Spiller quite a lot. Even though this would cause most coaches to stack the line, Buffalo has great run-blockers, so Spiller will get his numbers either way.

Jimmy Graham is the only tight end who is going second or third round. He is amazing and will get you the points, but there are other tight ends, who no where near good, will still get you points, just not as many. As for RBs it's not te same. You need those backs, keep both backs and drop Graham.

Kept both RBs...decided that after Graham, the rest of the TEs will be fairly even (until Gronk gets back) so there's only one other team in the league that will have a big advantage against me with the TE spot, and I can almost guarantee that team will not have a better RB than either of my top two.
