Need Help: Ballage, Samuel or Westbrook?

Postby kgood » Mon Aug 19, 2019 11:22 am

I need to cut down to 10 players in my keeper league by tonight and need some help. Who should be my final keeper? I'm between Ballage, Samuel or Westbrook and am leaning Ballage with the recent Drake news, but Samuel has been getting a lot of positive press recently.

I'd keep Ballage on the strength that your RB's are the weaker of the 2 groups.

X2. If he breaks out then Drake may never get a shot at the lead role again, it’s a big if, but I’m saying there’s a chance.

Agreed - Ballage because of your RB group.

I’d have a hard time cutting Curtis Samuel right now...All reports are that he’s lighting up camp...

I thought Id be the only one, but I'd keep Curtis Samuel. Ballage would be next on my list

Can you not trade Samuel before the deadline? Surely someone would drop a player from their roster for him and give you a future pick
10 team .2 PPR, .2 return yards. 28 player rosters, 16 offensive keepers on cutdown day.

QB- Rodgers, Lamar J, Josh allen

RB- Sony Michel, Kerryon J, Royce Freeman, Kalen Ballage, CJ Anderson, Justin Jackson, Damien Harris, Alex Mattison, Qadree Ollison,

WR- Davante Adams, Tyreek H, Josh Gordon, Alshon Jeffrey, Curtis Samuel, K Stills, John Brown, Demaryius Thomas

TE- Eric Ebron, Chris Herndon, Dallas Goedert, Matt Lacosse, Will Dissly, Darren Waller

K-greg the leg
