    I can keep 3 guys from my team. I'm leaning towards AP, TO, and Reggie Wayne but T Jones intrigues me. I'd like some input from you guys on which 3 you'd keep... My team is:

    QB Donovan McNabb
    QB Matt Shaub
    RB Adrian Peterson
    RB Thomas Jones
    RB Jonathan Stewart
    RB Sammy Morris
    WR Terrell Owens
    WR Reggie Wayne
    WR Vincent Jackson
    WR Lee Evans
    TE Kellen Winslow
    TE Owen Daniels

    Peterson, Stewart, and Wayne

    Go with the young RB in Stewart over the aging WR in Owens.

    Really?? I figured Stewart would be an awful fantasy back with DeAngelo Williams' presence alone destroying his value. I realize TO is aging and slowing, but he's still a TD machine and that's huge in FF.

    I have both Stewart and DeAngelo Williams on one of my two keeper leagues.

    I need all 3 of my keepers to be must-start players though. Guys I can trust every week to put up points. Stewart will dissappear once in a while cause of Williams so I'm not keeping him. I'll try and draft him back to the squad most likely.

    I'd go with your current picks, but how many teams are in the league? That makes a difference.

    Here?s my Team, AD and Andre Johnson are nobrainers, but who?s the 3rd guy? It?s a 10 Team, 0.5 PPR-League, starting Lineup is QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, R/W-Flex.

    Brett Favre
    Andre Johnson
    Santana Moss
    Adrian Peterson
    Sammy Morris
    Owen Daniels
    Ronnie Brown
    Anquan Boldin
    Darren McFadden
    Reggie Bush
    DeSean Jackson
    Shaun Hill
    Domenik Hixon

    I don?t have to make this decicion before July, so I can wait and see where Boldin will end up, but I would like to hear some early opinions.

    Johnson, Peterson, and Boldin because they are top players at their positions and are proven (Moss should be strongly considered, too)

    Bush, McFadden, Brown, Jackson- you don't always know what you will get from them

    boldin should be your 3rd guy. even with the missed games this year he was a beast. and he isnt a guy that has been injury prone throughout his career so this year was hopefully a fluke.

    My concern with Boldin is, that I think Warner will retire, and I don?t think that Leinart is capeable of feeding both Boldin and Fitz for a 1000+ yards, 10+ TD season.

    I'm in a 16 team league on ESPN and my team is pretty awful... I somehow managed to go 6-8.

    Favre
    Michael Turner
    Leon Washington
    Donald Driver
    Steve Breaston
    Dustin Keller

    Kris Jenkins
    DeMarcus Ware
    Shaun Phillips
    Calvin Pace
    Darelle Revis
    Adrian Wilson
    Cortland Finnegan
    David Harris
    Rian Lindell

    Plaxico Burress
    Jerricho Cotchery
    Donte Whitner
    Trent Edwards
    Marcedes Lewis
    John Carney
    Le'Ron McClain


    I'm guessing Turner is a definite keeper... outside of that it's rebuilding time for sure. Ware is insane and gives me points each weak but I don't know if it's worth keeping a defensive player by any means.

    Your team was not exactly useful. Def keep turner as you said. Normally I keep offensive guys, but your offensive guys are not good enough that you cant get them in later rounds. So keep Ware. If you get points for return yards/tds Leon is a sneaky keep he gets so many free points as a return guy.
    Otherwise take one of the top cover guys Finnegan or Revis. They will get more than their fair share of INT's next year.

    well you have time like you said. i think at this point warner might be back next year for one last try if they lose in the championship game. so see how things progress during the offseason.

    Thomas Jones, IMO, will be on the decline of his career fairly soon, and likely wont see the success he had this year again. Leon also will start getting alot more touches. Dont be fooled by this season's success...

    Go with your first instincts.

    This one is easy. Andre Johnson, AP and Boldin.
