    Hey guys. I need an opinion about who I should keep in my league this season. It's a $200 pay league 10 teams. Victor Cruz was my keeper last season so he would move down a spot this year and then every year after that.

    Victor Cruz would be my 9th round pick.

    Colin Kaepernick would be 10th round

    Doug Wilson would be 10th round

    Jason Witten would be 9th round

    Stevan Ridley would be 8th round

    Im really leaning Ridley here. In a lot of the mocks I see him not making it out of the 2nd round. With the Patriots losing a lot of guys to injury ect I see him being a huge part to the offense this season. He does have a solid O-line also. I love the new report today that Shane Vereen has been lining up at tight end and wideout in camp. Im glad the Patriots are doing that so he won't steal touches from Ridley. With Ridley there are about 6 rounds of value there. Cruz I keep seeing go in the 4th and 5th rounds. I thought Kaepernick was going to be a really hot commodity this year but he is usually getting drafted in the 7th and 8th. Any feedback or input would be appreciated.

    Its not really that tough. Your answer is Steve Ridley.

    If he remains healthy he has the potential to be a bell cow RB and answer that call. If you give him 300 touches. I look at Corey Dillon's 2004 campaign, his first in NE, and it reads something like 345 carries/1700 yards/12 TDs.

    With the state of the team as is now, I think Stevan should see the rock plenty and really should be coveted.

    The only caveat is that historically Belechick along with Mike Shanahan, can be tricky in terms of trusting your RB to. But those coaches aint no dummies and will use their workhorses when they got em.

    Am I missing something here? You can possibly keep Victor Cruz or Collin Kapernick? I'd take either of those two in a heartbeat over Ridley. I'd keep Kapernick.

    Kapernick is like Cam Newton but can actually throw the football

    Need I say more.

    slik, you must not play fantasy football so I give you a pass. If you do play fantasy I welcome you to any of my leagues. We have a traditional 12 man who is lacking a team this year and need to fill that spot if you're interested

    In fantasy, there is a value element you have to consider when constructing a team. One of the variables is that there are so few reliable RBs available. On the flip side, there is an abundance of QB and WR options. What Ridley can do for you vs. what any RB on the Panthers, Rams, Cardinals, Saints, Giants, Packers, Bengals, etc., is far greater value than what KP7 or the Salsa man can do for you vs. their contemporaries.

    A RB IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!! 

    I would agree with you on Kaepernick being the best football player among that bunch. But that's not the question.

    You just made me spit on my own computer monitor. "I assume you mean doug martin" wtf?

    they're 2 different people. One is significantly better than the other. Wilson does have upside, and I like his 10th round value in this gentleman's scenario, but you have got to be kidding me.

    LOL

    Doug Wilson is a theologian. Here is an interesting read.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Wilson_(theologian)

    David Wilson - 1st Round pick of the Giants last season. Fumbled early in the year vs. Dallas I believe, and went into Coughlin's doghouse for remainder of the year. He had one decent performance vs the Saints at the end of the year. Yes, the Saints and their dominant defense. The experts are touting him as something special. Ill just throw this out there, he could be a poor man's CJ Spiller with less skill. I'm not buying him this season, but will watch his film.

    How do you have two players that would be your 9th round pick? And two that would be your 10th round pick?

    And who the hell is Doug Wilson!!!!!!!

    agreed Ridley and agreed with the reasons why.

    I do believe Kaper is going to be something special, but you could probably pick him up later and same goes for Cruz (4th-5th).
