Ask DR U: Who Do I Use as My Keeper?
Brian asks, I am in a keeper league where we have to forfeit the round from the year before if we want to keep that player. So I can either keep Steven Jackson as a first round pick or Arian Foster is my 12th round pick. Which one should I keep?
DR U: You can certainly make a case for both players. However, I have Jackson as a player that should be drafted at the end of the first round or even early second round. Therefore, he is not the greatest value as a keeper. However, if all the other owners are going to keep the upper tier running backs, I have no problem with you keeping Jackson. My guess is though that a couple of the upper echelon running backs will still be available to draft for you. Therefore, I would recommend keeping Foster as I believe by taking him you would be getting a No.1 running back in the 12 round. That would be a huge bargain. So I say roll the dice on Foster, and draft Jackson or another back in the first round. If all the good running backs are taken, you can always take Drew Brees or Andre Johnson as your first round pick.
2010 DR U Fantasy Football Team #4
I just had my fourth fantasy football draft of the year. It is a standard non-PPR league and tight end is not required. It is a 14-team league, and I was blessed with the 14th pick. Let me know what you think of my squad.
QB Matt Schaub, Texans
QB Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers
RB Ryan Mathews, Chargers
RB Arian Foster, Texans
RB Justin Forsett, Seahawks
RB Fred Taylor, Patriots
RB Benard Scott, Bengals
WR Calvin Johnson, Lions
WR Dwayne Bowe, Chiefs
WR Terrell Owens, Bengals
WR Roy Williams, Cowboys
K Joe Nedney, 49ers
Defense Cowboys
Defense Chargers
Ask DR U: Should I Trade My Draft Pick?
William asks, I am in a 14 team league, and I have the third pick overall. I know that Chris Johnson and Adrian Peterson will be the first two picks off the board. Since I will not be able to get either player, would it make more sense for me to trade where I draft to pick later in the draft so I do not have to wait so long between picks when it snakes around?
DR U: I certainly understand your question and the logic for moving down. In a 14-team league, if you do not get the first two picks, it might make more sense to want to be at No.7 or No. 8. However, it is tough to pass up on Maurice Jones-Drew or Ray Rice. Therefore, I would probably stay put at the third pick. I like the challenge of being able to come away with a great draft even when I had to wait an eternity between picks. With that being said, there is nothing wrong with trading down if you feel it will help your chances in your league.
Ask DR U: Trade or No Trade?
Drake asks, I am being offered Shonn Greene for Tom Brady. I also have Matt Schaub, do you think I should take the trade?
DR U: The big question is, why do you have Brady and Schaub? If you keep both, it is going to be very difficult to decide which one to start each week. The other fantasy owner is giving you a break by offering you a No. 1 fantasy running back. If I were you, I would take that deal. Your team will be more than fine with Schaub as your quarterback, and you can pick up a free agent signal caller like Kyle Orton to play during Schaub’s bye week. Plus, Greene should have a big year in 2010.
