    10 team keeper league.  Starting with Demaryius in the 2nd and Gio with a 6th.  Picking 3rd.  All 3 of those RB's will be available.  There is a chance that Peyton, Brees, and Rodgers will all be available.  Worst case scenario is only Rodgers will be there.  If Brees is gone, AJ Green is there, too. 

    I don't like any of those RB's this year.  Overpaying for Charles, who gets the NFC West.  Forte and Lynch both have previous work load issues.  I want to pair up my current keepers with a top 3 QB, rather than get busted on one of those 3 RB's.  I think there is enough RB depth to be had later in the draft.  Half point PPR. 

    Am I crazy?

    I agree with the RB situation this year. There is depth to be had. Guys like Jennings, Gerhart, Rice, or Jackson are available late. They would be serviceable as a #2 on any team.

    Yup.  I just think I need to get as much as I can with my first pick because I won't have a 2nd round pick.  I've already got a #1 WR and #1 RB.  I'm about studs all around, rather than being heavy at one position.

    Only 10 teams in the league, too.  RB's can be had later, IMO.  Guys like Fred Jackson, Pierre Thomas, Sproles, and the ones you mentioned offer value later.

    You are picking 3rd and don't think megatron will be available? is that what you are saying? or that you just dont want him at that spot. I pick 3rd in my covers contest and it surely will go AP then Mccoy. I am in the same bind. I'm not a huge fan of those 3 RB's you named this high up. Thinking about going Peyton or megatron at 3. thoughts?

    VV: This is a keeper league, and I know Megatron is being kept. In your scenario I go with Lacy.

    Pretty solid.  Definitely pick up Davonte Freeman.  Sjax is made of glass.  Maybe trade Gronk after a few monster weeks to get some depth at WR.  I'll be investing in Luck, and his cake of a schedule.  Pierre and Knowshon are solid for late picks, IMO.  Good luck bro.

    Luck and Hilton.  Watkins is somewhat nursing an injury and has the ball thrown to him by a very unimpressive looking EJ Manuel who is pretty close to losing his starting job.  Luck is going to have to air it out playing against Denver, and his #1 guy this year will be T.Y. with Wayne really getting on in years and showing his first durability issues last year. 

    Jose, as to your dilemma, I don't think there's a wrong decision to be made there.  I assume that with Charles you're worried about the O-line situation being talked about in KC?  Or just the fact that it's an under performing offence all around?  

    When you go deep there are for sure some values at RB, but the same goes for WR and QB.  You don't think Cutler is a steal ranking on average as the 11th QB?  But I agree, having a Brees/Rodgers is a clear edge.  

    I would personally pair up DT with another stud receiver, Dez/AJ/Julio/Marshal if one of them is available.  Way more value in a top tier WR than one of the RBs you mentioned for injury potential alone. 

    Best of luck.

    I would take Forte in a heartbeat, he will be a fantasy stud this year just like he is about every year. In fantasy you just want someone who week in and week out puts up a good number of points and he is that man
