Early Keeper Question

[Sam]

Watching the mock draft get underway got me thinking about fantasy football again so I wanted to get some early thoughts on keepers. We can only keep 2 players and they can be kept 2 rounds higher than where they were drafted last year. Players drafted in the 1st and 2nd round last year aren't eligible to be kept (so there will be plenty of star power still at the top of the draft).

12 team league - start 1QB, 2 RB, 2WR, TE, Flex, D. Passing TD's are 4pts and everything else is 6pts. NO PPR.

I acquired in a trade Julius Thomas, eligible to be kept in the 12th round. That seems like a no-brainer.

My other keeper boils down to one of these guys, all eligible in the 5th round (through various trades/drafts/FA rules):
Zac Stacy
L'Veon Bell
Russell Wilson
Michael Floyd

I'm leaning towards either Stacy or Bell. I also have two 1st-round picks so I could have endless options of pairing up Stacy/Bell with 2 more stud RBs, a strong RB/WR combo, etc.

Thoughts?

Gotta go with Bell here.

Bell, with a bit of distance back to Stacy. And I'd be looking to grab RB/WR in the first round...or WR/RB.

[Erik]

Bell for sure.

[Friarfan]

Agreed. Bell...and I'm a big Stacy fan, but Bell

Bell, with a bit of distance back to Stacy. And I'd be looking to grab RB/WR in the first round...or WR/RB.

Thanks all!

I agree - I'm hoping that the traded pick is in the top 4 and I can get one of the top backs and then my own pick is in the bottom half and I can get one of the top WR's and still pick sooner in the 2nd round. If I get both picks in the top 4 I don't think I can pass up the top backs but anything after that would be RB/WR

I'd agree. Pair Thomas with Bell and you'll be in great shape. Good luck.
