Gridiron Experts Mailbag
Randy S. from Missouri writes: I’m in a 4 player keeper league and have the 10th overall pick in a 12 man pool. My keepers are P.Manning, Ryan Grant, Ray Rice and Randy Moss. I have been offered the first overall pick in exchange for Ray Rice. I would then keep Marion Barber but have a chance to have two first round picks and draft Ryan Matthews, what do you think?
DC from Gridiron Experts: Don’t do it. It sounds very tempting but Ray Rice is your best Keeper by far. Sure you would get the Chargers new rookie, but what if he only has an average season? Ray Rice is a proven RB that you can’t let go. Remember it’s not the 1st round, it’s the 5th round as everybody already has 4 players on their team.
Steve K. from San Jose writes: We have a flex league in our pool and I have three great WR’s. Would it make sense to keeper 3 WR’s ?
DC from Gridiron Experts: If your best keepers are 3 WR’s, then keep’em. You’ll need to spend a great deal of research studying tier two Running Backs, but don’t think you should protect a certain position, just adjust your draft strategy.
Pete in Florida writes: What do you think of the Jamal Charles and Thomas Jones situation?
DC from Gridiron Experts : Thomas Jones is a work-horse, he always looks like he’s in his last season in the summer and his rookie season by the end of the year. They guy can play and will spoil Jamal Charles break out chances. Goal-line situations are almost definitely Jones to keep, he is more proven and a bigger RB.
