So my money league I've played in since 2005 switched to having an option for keepers this year. You can keep up to 3 players, but it will cost you the pick 1 round ahead of where they were drafted last year. The round beside their name is updated to what they would cost to keep.
Above is my team. Anyone who wasn't drafted will cost a 16th round pick to keep. It's a 12 team league, 1 PPR.
I've never done keepers before, so I wonder what you guys think of my strategy.
At this point, I'm planning on keeping McCoy (1st), Demaryius (2nd), and Joique Bell (15th) because of the value hebrings for such a late pick. I figure even though I won't have a pick until the 3rd round, a 1-2 of McCoy and Demaryius is a good guaranteed starting point.
Thoughts?
Unless you plan on going after Gronk/Thomas, I would keep Reed. Reed is going to be a quality tight end. He's probably the 5th best tight end after Graham, Gronk, Thomas, and Cameron, yet you can get him for 16th round value. That's a lot better to me than keeping a backup RB from the late round. There will always be running backs of Bell's caliber that emerge throughout the season. I don't see a reason to keep him. I would definitely keep Demaryius. The other keeper for me depends on your drafting philosophy. I would consider Calvin but probably cave and go with McCoy too since the quality of RBs after the top 5 greatly diminishes. If you kept Calvin and Demaryius, your RBs would be a crapshoot every week. McCoy, Demaryius, and Reed for me. My reason for Reed is I'm trying to maximize value. He's going to go way earlier than 16th round in a 12 team league.
