How do I improve my keepers?

Postby TheBelgian » Sun Jan 06, 2019 8:18 pm

Hello fantasy community,

I took over the team in sig last offseason. This team was 3-10 last season, but after a successful inaugural season this team is competing (thanks to Saquon and Leonard). Even though I made it to the finals, I barely made it into the playoffs as the 6 seed in a 8 team playoff. Now I'm looking to improve the 13 players that I will be taking into next season. I want to know your thoughts. Rip my team apart (I know I overachieved). Players in bold are the ones I plan on keeping as my team stands now.

Like the sig says, this is a 16 team, 13 keeper, balanced scoring salary cap league. I will have the 15th pick in every round of a 13 round draft as well (rookies and players that are not kept are available in the draft).

I've never played in an IDP league before, so this may be a dumb question. Are your league mates as knowledgeable about players on the defense side of the ball as the offense? If not, you may lean towards returning 1-2 of your studs on defense to the draft pool knowing that you will be able to re-acquire them. Also, congrats on making it to the finals with...if I am reading correctly...Driskel as your QB?!?

I'm not completely sure about what all the leaguemates know on the defensive side of the ball. I've been in this league for 1 year and this was the 16th year for the league. Thank you. Yes, Driskel down the stretch into the playoffs. It's a 1 QB league with 21 starters so QB is not very valuable. Hmm, who else on the offensive side should I be keeping if I drop some more defensive players?

Well, Njoku, Smith, and MVS have to at least be considered "tough cuts" if you had to cut them. Very interesting league though!
