I need some help deciding my third keeper. Currently I have OBJ in the first (after seeing that his injury isn't serious I am ok with this now) and DJ in the sixth (lol).

I'm just gonna post this screenshot for scoring because it's kinda weird


The rest of the scoring is pretty normal.

Debating between (in order of how I'm leaning):
Tyreek (7)
Gurley (5)
Jameis (13)
Dak (14)

Kept players cost one slot higher than the round you drafted them in (undrafted waiver wire guys cost a seventh) but you can keep your first round pick for a first so the chances of me getting anyone better than OBJ in the first are almost nil, even if I draw the first pick.

The gently caress kind of bonuses are these?

A guy runs for 99 yards for 9.9 points and one guy runs 1 more yard and gets 20? My league has bonuses too but not to that extreme. With those bonuses, I would keep Gurly. Highest ceiling imo.

ROFL - If any RB or WR goes over 200 yards the game is just over.

200 yards = 45 points. That's ludicrous.

Yeah, they're stupid, but I'm not really in any position to complain about it. I think in one of my playoff matchups I could have benched literally everyone except OBJ and DJ and still won.

Quick keeper question for y'all

Standard 12 team PPR with no flex, trying to figure out my fourth keeper. Every team must keep four and they're your first four picks. I have AB, Evans, and Gurley as three, debating on Benjamin and Ingram for the fourth. I could also keep Reed but I want to get off that injury roller coaster.

Pain of Mind posted:

Those rules make keepers a penalty for drafting poorly rather than a reward for drafting well. In a bubble I would go with Benjamin; I do not really like Ingram's situation at all and will not draft him anywhere, but I imagine 20 RB are being kept so there will not be much to draft and you already have 2 solid WRs and there are a ton of WR deeper down the ADP list that should be serviceable WR3s. Do you know your draft pick and how many usable RBs are left? If you could grab a rookie and Gore or Abdullah (just trying to think of guys not kept) then maybe you will not need Ingram.

Yeah, I've been pushing to allow people to not keep four for a while but people don't understand how much of an advantage the teams with better keepers have and it's a league I've been in for a while with people I don't get to talk to much anymore so I deal with it.

I have the tenth pick and I'd say 20 is probably a pretty accurate estimate, though some people keep QBs which helps deepen the pool a little bit. I don't really expect Ingram to be available to me at my pick if I don't keep him, but I might be able to get one of the rookies or someone that wasn't kept and slipped under the radar. Or I could be cheeky and take Woodhead or Jacquizz :v:

A decent set of games last night. Anderson and Cook look like bell cows, would have liked to see a touchdown from them though. YPC-wise I don't think they were THAT impressive, but they look like they're going to get a lot of volume, and with the gameflow I think NO/LA were stacking the box.

Gordon looked pretty beastly. I may regret drafting Evans over him, but time will tell. I won this week with Evans on "Bye" so, so far so good.

Is Kenny Britt droppable? From what I've read he looked pretty awful. Got my eye on Golladay.

People are actually rostering backup kickers for some reason so I don't want to be left with like Robbie Gould or something for the rest of the season if I drop him.

Also I just realized Eric Decker is still on my roster so that was an easy decision.

You've got it reversed. Just like in a draft, if there's a run on QB's, you don't follow suit and grab a QB early, you take advantage and grab whatever good RB/WR that is still available because everyone is taking QB's.

I did this too though.

Fair point, I'll make another one in that case: Eric Decker is worse than rostering a backup kicker for a single week.

Post your roster and keeper limits

We can keep three at a round higher than they were drafted, but a first rounder can be kept in the first forever (you can't bump one down to a second if you have two there).

QB: Wentz
WR(3): OBJ, Hopkins, Thielen, Dez, D. Adams
RB(2): DJ, Gurley, Smallwood, Jacquizz, Cook, Lacy (gametime pickup when Smallwood was ruled out)
TE: Ertz
K: I forget his name the Eagles guy
D: KC
+ 1 WR/RB/TE Flex

My keepers this year were OBJ (1), Gurley (5), DJ (6), Cook would have been keepable in the second so I was thinking about trying to get something out of Gurley at the end of the year or just using Cook himself as tradebait. We don't have an IR slot and using three of my five bench spots on guys that are out for the year (I guess DJ might play) isn't really a strategy I want to go with.

Starting to overthink stuff regarding OBJ in a keeper again

10 team keep 3 PPR with bonuses at yardage milestones. Players cost one round higher between years, first rounders can be kept in the first round. I have OBJ (1), Gurley (4), and DJ (5) and am still 5-1 with my lone loss being by less than a point this week. I drafted Thielen in the 13th round this year, am I crazy for trying to sell OBJ to someone who's out of it to try and get an RB or WR2? My current roster:

QB: Wentz
WR: Dez, Hopkins, Thielen, D. Adams, OBJ
RB: Gurley, Riddick, Smalwood, Mack, DJ
TE: Ertz
K and D don't matter

We start 3 WR 2 RB and 1 W/R/T flex

I got an interesting trade offer in my 10 team keeper this morning. It's PPR with bonus points at 100 yards

I Give:
Gurley (can keep in the 4th)
Last round pick in 2018

I get:
Cooper (1)
Murray (3)
third round pick in 2018

My roster
QB: Wentz
WR: Dez, Hopkins, Thielen(12), Adams, Kearse, OBJ (1)
RB: Gurley, Mack, Smallwood, Gore, DJ (5)
TE: Ertz
Kicker and defense

3 WR, 2 RB, 1 Flex

I'm leaning towards no, am I being dumb? Gurley has had 20 points in literally all but one week this year and I'm a little worried Murray is going to lose touches to Henry as the year goes on, and trading Gurley for him doesn't help my RB depth at all.
