I need some advice from the experts here. I'm the defending champion in our corporate FF league. The league is 10 team, $200 auction. We are allowed 2 keepers every year.

I am keeping Eddie Lacy at a cost of $36. The other keeper is either going to be Giovanni Bernard for $18 or Alshon Jeffery for $6.

My initial thought is that there will not be many RB's available so keep Bernard, but I'm worried about his goalline carries.

On the other hand, I'm not sure Jeffery will produce like he did last year.

Suggestions on the 2nd keeper? Thanks in advance.

PPR or standard scoring?

If this is your main concern, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The Bengals didn't hesitate to use Gio inside the 5 yard-line much at all last season, and he's got surprising power pushing through the pile once he gets lost behind his o-line.

Jeremy Hill may vulture some TD's eventually, but if Gio is fresh at the end of the drive, he's getting his chances to score in short-yardage situations.

I'd keep Jeffery at that price and use the $12 you save on another player. I think he is capable of duplicating what he did last season. With Marshall opposite of him, defenses are going to have their hands full and will probably draw single coverage. Also, he put up those numbers with McCown most of the time under center so I think he has the potential to do the same if not better with Cutler.

Who knows, maybe the Bengals use him exactly the opposite of how I described... I'm not above earning neg reps if it means I'll beat you fools in fantasy.

(But seriously, he's gonna get plenty of touches inside the five yard line)

Keep Jeffery or quit your league. I have no experience though with auction leagues though, so I'm not sure if that's a steal for a legitimate top 5 prospect at WR or not. Not trying to be mean, but unless that's a lot of money to spend on a wide receiver that isn't truly elite, just borderline elite, then I would say you keep Jeffery.

Yea man in a PPR keeper league I love Geo above anyone besides Shady or J. Charles. Just busting balls. I drafted him in all leagues last year late and wanted him this year but cost was too steep.

I've never actually done an auction league, so I don't know if keeping him at $18 relative to $6 for Alshon Jeffrey is a bargain or not.

Personally, I would take Jeffrey at that price point if scoring is non PPR. Everything is relative though because I'm not a huge Lacy fan, don't know his league landscape, etc.

Bottom line is I love Geo in PPR formats.

What do I know anyway, I haven't won a league since '12

I was looking at the draft results last night, and it looks like you picked Brandon Marshall BEFORE his autodraft took Gio.

(I only know this because I'm a Bengals fan, so I had Gio way overvalued in my rankings and wanted to see how his pick played out.)

I think you are right. I was going back and forth on who to take with that pick. I may have been drafting under the influence also....

There are other ways to draft aside from the bolded?

It's a standard scoring league.

IMO, once you go to an auction system you will never go back to the snake draft. It's nice knowing you always have a shot at a player you want.......if you're willing to pay for him!

Thanks for the advice guys.

Auctions are so great. I don't know why it is so difficult to convince people to make the switch. It can't be anything but stubborness. There is no argument that a snake draft is better.

Keeper league. TD heavy. No PPR. Select one of the following.

Gio Bernard
Calvin Johnson
Kaepernick
Alfred Morris
Dez Bryant
D Jax

No laughing at the spelling pls. Lol
Johnson may be obvious here, but he had several off season surgeries and the have added Tate which will pull some balls away.

Gronk and Belichick are going to torture me with indecision and cryptic comments all season.

I had no idea the IE league was PPR. I was so confused when Nelson had 15 points when he only had 85 yards or so.
