Orphan Keeper Question

Postby TheBelgian » Tue Sep 25, 2018 12:30 pm

I have taken the challenge of adopting the team in sig. It's my first salary cap, first IDP, and first keeper league all wrapped into one. I'll be competitive this year, but will probably end up in the middle of the pack (16 teamer). I have my sights set on being a contender by the 20-21 season. I come to you guys because I'm lost on what to do as far as rebuilding within a keeper league. I can only keep 13 players from year to year so is it worth it to continue to acquire young/stud players going forward this year?
Right now, when I write out my keepers it looks like this:
Barkley
Guice
Adams
Cooks
Howard
Joseph -- because of the fantastic salary
Bates
Leonard
Warner
Barnett
McKinley
Jones
The last keeper could be a lot of different guys: Ekeler, Turay, Maye, Allen/Rosen, and there are other rookie defensive guys that have a chance to be keepable as well....
Am I on the right path? What is the next step?

Not familiar with salary cap, but if your not competing for several years, I’d look to build with d line, wr and picks now, dB and to a degree lb can change a lot year to year

Can Leonard, Warner and Jones keep up their production in the coming years? I simply don't know how to predict the future for IDP.

Is it just stupid to keep a kicker, no matter the salary? Like I said, I'm pretty new to this type of league.

Unless you have one of the top end options, I wouldn't bother ever keeping a kicker. I'd take any of those players you mentioned over a kicker except maybe Maye... just depends on what happens when he comes back.
