Help needed with 3rd keeper

Postby Black Ops » Sun Aug 14, 2011 3:56 pm

Im keeping Rodgers and Foster but I'm still on the fence in picking between Nicks and Hillis. My first thought was Nicks but now Im not so sure. Maybe Im over thinking things. I pick 8th in every round and its a 12 team PPR league. 18 man roster. I didnt bother posting my TE,K or Def since they arent worth keeping. Thanks in advance for any help


McNabb, Donovan WAS
Rodgers, Aaron GBP QB
Best, Jahvid DET RB
Foster, Arian HOU RB
Hillis, Peyton CLE RB
Mathews, Ryan SDC RB
Stewart, Jonathan
Tolbert, Mike SDC RB
Driver, Donald GBP WR
Gibson, Brandon STL WR
Holmes, Santonio NYJ WR
Knox, Johnny CHI WR
Nicks, Hakeem NYG WR
Royal, Eddie DEN WR

I would go with Nicks. Hillis is an injury risk because of his running style and is very unlikely to come near last season's numbers. Nicks on the other hand can continue to build on what he has done and looks to be a top 5 option at WR.
Start: 2 QB, 3 RB, 5 WR, 2 TE (All TDs=6, 1 per 10 rush/rec, 1 per 25 pass, NO PPR) 8 teams
QB: Rodgers, Vick, Cutler, Schaub, Luck
RB: Rice, CJ, McFadden, Richardson, Stewart, Ingram, Spiller, Vereen
WR: Green, Marshall, Roddy, Jennings, Roddy, Bowe, Maclin, Britt, A Brown, Williams (TB), Collie, Smith (STL)
TE: Graham, Finley, F Davis, Cook
Taxi Squad: Tebow, Crabtree, Jeffrey, Hill, Gordon

Thanks. Im also leaning toward Nicks because it will give me one solid guy at each position and then I can fill from there.

I actually like Hillis this season. He is the main weapon in Clev.
However, I would keep Nicks.
Huge upside, young, fast, WR1 on the Giants with little competition for targets. (boss gone, no S. Smith)
12 Team PPR TE Premium
(1) QB Stafford, Cutler
(1-3)RB: CJ Spiller, F Jax, Mathews, Latavius
(2-4)WR: AJ Green, C. Patterson, Alshon Jeffery, M. Floyd, J. Blackmon, M. Wheaton, M. Brown
(0-2)TE: Julius Thomas, Ladarius Green, K. Rudolph
