Draft Strategy

I have 9 pick out of 10 (non PPR – QB gets 6 for TD. We start 3 WR/2 RB.) If Rodgers is there at 9, is he the pick? Vick will probably be there too, take him? Or better to grab top WR, then RB, take QB in 4th round, hopefully Rivers-type guy. Also, [...]

Trade advice

Normal scoring league. A bit heavy for QB’s. Freeman and MJD for Colt McCoy and Adrian Peterson. What combo do you like better. Haven’t drafted yet, so these would be keepers. Answer: I like the team getting AP, too me Freeman isn’t a keeper yet, he is a good #2 fantasy QB, McCoy has great [...]

Who should I Keep?

I have the second pick in a 12 team league. Not PPR. I have to keep 2 players. The candidates are: Rivers, G. Jennings, Mike Wallace, A. Bradshaw, Felix Jones. I can get a good RB at #2. My gut is saying keep Bradshaw and Wallace. I think Jennings will not repeat last years stats. [...]

Vick or AP – who to keep?

Hi Dr. Stats I’m in a 10 team keeper league, and I’m faced with the unenviable task of choosing between the two top stars on my team: AP (who I drafted back in his rookie year and have been riding him ever since), or Vick (who I claimed off waivers last year as soon as [...]

PPR league draft- too weak ar RB/WR?

Hi doc. Have loved your site for 8 years now. This is our first PPR year and I was pick 9 of 12. I picked Rogers in the first round (value) and felt like I had to make up for it the rest of the draft. RBs: MJD, Bradshaw (R. Jennings, Helu) WRs: Maclin, S.Holmes, [...]

Who should I keep?

I have to select 2 keepers in a league, who should I keep? Peyton Manning Peyton Hillis Darren McFadden Michael Turner Frank Gore LeGarrette Blount Answer: Seriously you had all these RB’s, you must have won your league last year. Dare we say you keep Blount and McFadden, but we just did, mostly based on [...]

12-Man PPR #1 Pick

I have the #1 pick in a 12-man PPR (1 pt per reception, 1 pt per 10 yards rushed/received). I know I should take AP or AF but please tell me why I should NOT take Ray Rice in a PPR over the seldom passed to Adrian and Arian who has only done it 1 [...]

AP for Vick?

In one of my leagues, I had to auto draft the first couple of rounds, and it gave me Michael Vick, Hakeem Nicks and Miles Austin…so when I got in there I had no running backs, so I drafted DeAngelo Williams, Mark Ingram and Marshawn Lynch. A buddy of mine wants Vick (and I want [...]

Nicks or McFadden?

I have the first pick in a keeper-league draft (our league is PPR). My keepers are LeSean McCoy and Jahvid Best. Is it a no- brainer to take a WR (best available is Nicks) with the first pick? Maybe because I’m nervous about Best or maybe because I feel like there are so few quality [...]
