How many can you keep? At those price tags Id keep all of them.

Freeman for sure and thats a steal for Collins... great value for Thielen as well.

Collins and Thielen are good value... and as good as Collins was last year, hes still yet to be extended. Id go Freeman...

It's all about value. They're all good values, but Collins is the best. By far.

I imagine that Freeman and Collins will likely finish in the same ballpark as RBs. Freeman has a much higher upside, for sure, but I don't think that ever gets back the numbers he put up a few years ago. And the difference between the 7th round and the 18th round is signficant.

Finally, if Collins does indeed end up the featured back in Balt for the future, too, then he remains a steal for about 2-3 more years.

Thielen doesn't even come close to bumping Collins, IMO.

I'm going Thielen here. You have your RB1 in Johnson and I strongly believe that Thielen can repeat if not improve on what he has done the past 2 years.

If that holds true, you get a WR2 with serious WR1 upside in a 12team league. The potential depth and flexibility that brings is very nice come draft day.

Collins was good last year and I see this year as his prove it year. Could be good/great.. who knows. Maybe they draft or bring someone in. ravens haven't really been fantasy gold lately so that could be influencing my opinion too.

I just think DJ and perennial underdog Thielen gives a better start to a redraft with 2 keepers.
