Keeper League

[calell83]

I am in a Keeper league and can only keep two of the following...
Rudi Johnson, Willie Parker, Frank Gore, Peyton manning....
Who would you keep....

[biggie]

Gore and Manning if it were me. I could also see an arguement for Gore and Parker.

[Hines86Ward]

Peyton is the obvious choice to keep, and there's a good argument for all 3 RB's....I'd go with Gore though

Obvious choices:

To keep: Peyton
To Cut: Rudi

That leaves Parker and Gore. I would personally go with Gore because he's the one you'll either hit home runs with for years, or the next Deuce McAllister.

Don't know why Rudi is an obvious cut...but my thought is...

Keep Peyton. Does it need to be said?

For Gore...He had a great year, and may come back.. or be a fluke.
Parker... Had a good year in 05'. Last year was weaker without Bettis.
Rudi... Solid player...not a fluke like Parker, being a proven player. With catching weakness and 3 other good RB's behing him, only plays some downs.

That shows that I'm(I'd be) deciding between Gore and Rudi. Since your a Steeler fan, you'll think differently probably, but oh well. If you consider that Gore will no longer be the only option in the 49er Offense, he should be a solid back but not as good as this year. I'd take Gore, considering he could be really good.

Manning and Gore...

i would go with Frank Gore and Peyton manning.

Parker... Had a good year in 05'. Last year was weaker without Bettis.

2005: 1202 rush yards, 4 TD.....218 rec yards, 1 TD
2006: 1494 rush yards, 13 TD...222 rec yards, 3 TD

Depends on the league scoring system.
If Passing TDs are worth 4 points, I would select Frank Gore and Rudi Johnson.
If passing TDs are worth 6 points, Peyton Manning and Frank Gore would be my selections.

Passing TDs are 4....
Thank for the thoughts....

Why would the draft already be over this early?? That is weird to me, at this point no one has set rosters... there is always chances for injury in training camp and off season invitational camps, etc.
With guys like Rudi, as much as I love him on the field for us, at this point it will be hard to say whether he will be our feature back, split carries, or even ride the pine for a while... our RB situation is far from guranteed to anyone.
I know a lot of other teams out there have big question marks on some pretty important fantasy positions too... With my luck in a league that drafted this early, I would end up with a bunch of guys that wouldn't see playing time come football season... just me drafting someone this early for a fantasy league would set the wheels in motion to jinx them and get them injured, or have them lose their starting position to a rookie, or even given their outright realease just because I drafted them for my fantasy team.

Draft has not happened yet, I am just preparing...But we have to put in our keeprs by the beginning of August...Draft is toward the end

Keep Willie Parker and Peyton Manning.
Willie Parker catches and runs the ball, without fumbling.
Willie Parker you will always know Pittsburgh will always run the ball.
Frank Gore fumbles too much and San Fran could be a dark horse, or a horse that just plain stinks.
Be safe, keep Parker and Peyton.

Parker... Had a good year in 05'. Last year was weaker without Bettis.

2005: 1202 rush yards, 4 TD.....218 rec yards, 1 TD
2006: 1494 rush yards, 13 TD...222 rec yards, 3 TD

2005- 225 carries(with Bettis)
2006- 337 carries(no other RB with many carries- and I know you had Davenport, he was injured)
2007- Davenport and Haynes taking carries, but can't really wear down blockers
