DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Fantasy & Gaming Who would you keep?

In a 2-player keeper league. I have to choose between Julio Jones, Dez Bryant and Matt Forte. It's PPR.

Which of those 2 would you keep and why?

Julio for sure, If all three stay healthy I think he is the best player.

Toss up for the other two, PPR I'd go with Bryant and then focus on drafting RB's early since you have two good WR's already.

JMO and I'm no fantasy genius.

Thanks for the input.

I would first do the research and see which WR has the best matchups for coverage's and then pick Forte and one of the WR.

Good RBs are very hard to get even in PPR formats, There is always 1-2 sleeper WR that you can scoop up playing the waiver wire game.

Isn't Dez in a contract year? That alone would make me want to keep him.....Jones coming off an injury, tough call

I agree, I would lean toward Dez over Julio as well because of the injury, and he doesn't have a Roddy White around to eat into his targets.

I would go Julio only because Dez may have Weeden throwing to him and take Forte , I rb and 1 WR

Forte and Bryant.

I've never played FF before, but we are starting a PPR league at work, and was wondering if you guys would mind advising a general strategy for drafting. I always thought you'd want your QB first, but I guess that's not necessarily the case, unless we're talking about Peyton Manning or maybe Aaron Rodgers. Do you guys generally look RB first?

Sorry Diehard - don't mean to hijack the thread - just a few brief comments would be helpful though. Thanks.

RB's and WR's are gold. Tight ends and Qb's are bronze. Some mix of those are silver.

But Qb is definetly bronze, not gold or silver.

Thanks TL.

good rb's are very hard to get unless your in the top 5 picks. Forte is a rec machine in that off.
in my ppr league last year, between rb,and wr the top 3 were rb with forte being 3rd in total scoring.
for receptions he was 26th rb and wr..... 3rd if your just talking rb's top was 77 and he had 74.
i would shy away from Julio due to coming off the foot injury which is a multiple injury to the same foot i do believe.
Dez should be your other choice. he is the focal point of the offense. and just because they might have to go with weeden does not mean crap.. look what Gordon did with that POS under center. hmm Gordon had back to back 200+ yard games.

plus add in the fact that dallas def sucks so they will be passing a lot more then maybe Atl.

so under my logic go with Dez and Forte

I'd agree, especially with Dez. I think he's set up for a long run of consistent success

If anyone has questions or want a list of a few sites that i use for my ffl feel free to pm me. I have been playing FF since the mid 90's.

I prefer not to post them in plain view. some might be in the same league with each other or some of my competition might be on here too.

Some of the sites are free and some are paid. the best one i use is a paid site for info but it is top notch.

Except when you have AJ Green.. against Cleveland... and he barely gets 50 yards... but your team wins, but your fantasy team loses because of it..

Good thing I shave my head. No hair to pull out...
