I need help in a keeper league draft.

Question

I am in a 10-team keeper league in its 2nd year with each team having 3 keepers.

I have 3 of the first 11 picks (2nd, 10th, and 11th overall).

My keepers already are LT, Portis, and TO

The top 20 players are projected as such:

1. Marion Barber

2. Willie Parker

3. Larry Fitzgerald

4. Brandon Jacobs

5. Laurence Maroney

6. T.J. Houshmandzadeh

7. Marques Colston

8. Ronnie Brown

9. Plaxico Burress

10. Michael Turner

11. Chad Johnson

12. Carson Palmer

13. Darren MacFadden

14. Edgerrin James

15. Antonio Gates

16. Thomas Jones

17. Matt Hasselbeck

18. Earnest Graham

19. Fred Taylor

20. Jason Witten

It is 6 point per TD pass and it's a PPR league.

Should I take Palmer early in risk that someone else might get before my 10th and 11th picks, take Fitzgerald to pair up with TO, another RB for depth, or take a stud TE?

All input is appreciated.

Answer 1

It's a PPR league so you should take Barber with your first pick.  Then take Palmer and Witten...You can find WR value in the later rounds.

Answer 2

Take Fitz, Colston, or Barber and wait on a guy like Hasselbeck at QB... Who else is available at quarterback?

Answer 3

I would definently take Palmer, you need a qb! then I would drfat two WR's. Housh would be nice, I can't see fitz being around, but definently get two more recievers. TE's will always be around, Owen Daniels has gotten me through some tough spots. He is a very consistant tight end and you can get him late.

Answer 4

DO NOT TAKE PALMER. Cincinatti is on the downfall. Yeah, they have Housh and Ocho Cinco, but its not going to be enough. if you can do better than hasselbeck, like brees, big ben, garrard etc etc etc, then get them. Marques Colston is going to be UBER Dominant. Fitzgerald will also be a good choice, along with Plaxico. Jason Witten=best TE around. Graham, Ronnie Brown are good. Barber is also good. Parker should be secondary.
