Keeper suggestions
I have to pick a keeper from this group.
My 3 options are: McFadden, Miles Austin, Tony Romo. It's a PPR and not a lot of QBs are being kept. I'm leaning Miles, what say you? |

I don't like anything about Dallas at all. However, in my league good/productive WR's are hard to come by. I'd take Miles Austin over the others all day long and pray for a good draft.

The draft I'm not worried about. First round, I'm pretty locked into getting a top flight QB. We have bonuses for 300 yard passing games, give 6 points per td pass.

In order to be a top 5 team offensively, you have to convert on 3rd downs and play solid defense.
Dallas won't be top 5 this year, they'll be middle of the pack or slightly above average in the 12ish range. |

In that case, keep Miles Austin.

Austin.
You can grab another QB and McFadden is already banged up going into the season. Better RBs available.

McFadden has the upside to be the top fantasy scorer. He's got late round 1 ADP, whereas Austin and Romo are 3rd round at the earliest. This is actually pretty ridiculous that you're even considering it.

If you're taking him anywhere before the 4th round in most leagues, you need to check yourself into the looney bin. |

The point is, you have to take a lot more into account than just what he did last year. Believe it or not, a lot of the projections this year are based on what they did last year against their schedules with that roster, instead of applying that to their schedule this year with their current roster. Do you think he'll break 1000 yards this year if they lose all 16 games, splitting carries with Bush and being injured? Is 1,000 yards even a good mark for such a high projection? If you think Darren and Jamaal will put up similar numbers in terms of PPG and YPC as last year, you're completely mental. Also that PPG statistic is idiotic. He didn't play in every game because of......you guessed it.....injury! It doesn't matter if he's the highest rated guy according to yahoo analysts or not, if he doesn't play 16 games he becomes a liability. I know this, I had him last year coupled with McCoy. I tore shit up last year without drafting either of those guys. |

McFadden's ine is garbage, his schedule is tougher and teams can just stack the box against the Raiders.
I could care less where his ADP is. He's a liability due to various injuries he's racked up over his career.

Okay, here is my roster from the end of last year. I get to keep 2.
Keep in mind: I have the first pick of the draft. Scoring is fairly typical. 6 points for receiving, rushing, and passing TD's. That doubles if a receiver rushes or a rusher receives. 1 point for every 25 yds passing. 1 point for every 10 yards receiving or rushing. Extra points for longer FG's. Etc, etc, etc.... Manning, Peyton QB IND Bradshaw, Ahmad RB NYG Jackson, Fred RB BUF Jones, Felix RB DAL Johnson, Andre WR HOU Moore, Lance WR NO Gonzalez, Tony TE ATL Succop, Ryan K KC Ravens DST Bradford, Sam QB STL Gradkowski, Bruce QB CIN Stewart, Jonathan RB CAR Smith, Steve WR CAR Thomas, Mike WR JAC McCluster, Dexter WR KC Dreessen, Joel TE HOU Reed, Jeff K SEA Colts DST |

Looks like you should keep Andre and Peyton by default. Bradshaw would be my 3rd choice. You need some rb's! |

And what do you think of Felix? He's starting for Dallas now. Or Fred Jackson did very well for me last year, too. Did Buffalo pick up anyone who could pass, or will they still be rushing a lot? Last edited by luv; 08-16-2011 at 09:29 AM.. |
