I have three keeper slots in my league and I'm wondering what yall think:
Thielen for a 6th rounder (I'm definitely doing this)
Travis Kelce for a 3rd rounder (I pick second in the draft, so I'm not feeling this value)
Matt Ryan for a 9th rounder (my last year to keep him so this is doubtful)

Then where I think it's interesting:
Garoppolo for a 10th rounder
Mahomes for a 10th rounder
Funchess for a 10th rounder

If I keep two of these guys, it'll cost me a 10th and 9th rounder pick; but I'd be able to keep them the two next years as well. So if somebody breaks out, I have a major value. That said, I feel like I should be able to get these guys in the 9th anyway. Thinking I hang on to Mahomes to go with Thielen and let Funchess and Jimmy walk...but Mahomes vs Garoppolo is a tough choice and keeping both would give me two shots at having a QB1 locked up for a pretty late round pick next season. What do yall think?

Kelce is probably going in the 2/3 turn anyway I would just keep him . Grab one of the top RBs round 1, grab a good #1 WR to pair with Thielen Rd 2

Bell, Johnson and Elliot are all draft eligible so I should come away with a beast RB. Kelce is one I've really wondered about, I saw his ADP at mid-late 3rd round while I'm picking 2nd in that round. So I've been leaning toward letting him go and hoping I have him as an option when I pick (but leaving myself the chance to catch anyone that might slip in the draft too). Having a top 5 RB and top 3 TE does feel like a great starting point though. What you think about the QB situation?

2 questions: how many teams in your league and has draft order been determined already?

12 team league and I have the second slot (which has me more prone to keeping my odd round picks since I pick so high in them).

Sounds like it's a 2 keeper league so I would lean Zeke or Johnson since they have less miles on em.

And QB is really deep this year so you can wait. If you whiff on that position you can get someone off waivers who is decent.

Personally if I had both starting RB and WR positions locked down plus Kelce, I would decide then and there the last QB I'm comfortable with and make sure I get him. I like the high ceiling guys like Watson/Cam/Luck.

Probably too late for most of y'all, but Jerrick McKinnon's MRI confirmed a torn ACL. Scoop up Alfred Morris and/or Matt Breida where possible. I think Alf is the better play, but anytime you got a shot at a potential starting RB off the scrap heap, go get em. Dropped Rishard Matthews for Alf in my 14-teamer (Breida was already drafted).

I been drafting a lot of mccaffrey and chris thompson in ppr leagues. If I miss out on Kelce or Ertz, I've been getting Burton or Doyle in the 7th-10th rounds.

Drafted McCaffrey as my RB1 in a standard 14-team league (took a risk drafting Hopkins 10th in the 1st). Figure all-purpose yards should hover around 100 a game easy. TDs will be tougher to come by.

Choosing between Conner and Marshawn for my Flex. Leaning towards Conner even though I dont exactly love either match up

I'm planning on starting Conner over Carson at flex in one league. :yeshrug: May do so over Barber in another league. Not sure if over Carlos Hyde in my 3rd league though.

If you can play Burkhead, then you should start him, but if you had him or Hogan and could only play one of them in the flex slot, who would you plug in?
