    I can keep 3 guys from my team for next season. Two are obvious: Adrian Peterson, Reggie Wayne.... Still unsure of the third....

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

    Normally T.O. would be the pick for the third keeper but I'm not so sure about him any more. Who do you think should be my third keeper?

    Depending on scoring, I'd say McNabb. That way you already have your RB1, WR1, and QB spots taken care of.

    Donavan McNabb, by far. Jonathan Stewart would be a nice guy to hold on to, but getting a top tier QB to go along with your top tier RB and WR is the way to go.

    I'd keep McNAbb too.. solid O-line, good recievers, strong team overall. The others are all replaceable...

    QB Donovan McNabb-could have great season
    QB Matt Schaub- very replaceable
    RB Thomas Jones-wont have the same numbers
    RB Adrian Peterson
    RB Sammy Morris- replaceable
    RB Jonathan Stewart- not a bad option but deangleo williams is there
    WR Terrell Owens- going to sharply decline
    WR Reggie Wayne
    WR Vincent Jackson-replaceable
    WR Lee Evans- possibly
    TE Owen Daniels- replaceable
    TE Kellen Winslow- not going to put up good numbers

    when it comes down to it Mcnabb is the no brainer. you will have a solid qb, rb, and wr....if williams didnt play so great last year and doesnt show signs of stopping id of kept stewart but mcnabb is the best choice

    Unless there are 14 teams in your league, in a league that has one QB per team, there is no point in keeping a QB. Keep Terrell Owens - he will get his 1000 yards, 10 TDs.

    Depending on how deep the league is I think either McNabb or Schaub. When Schaub is healthy he is one of the best fantasy QBs and he has like ~6 years less mileage on him.

    There's 10 teams with 2 expansion teams coming in next year. Every team has considerable talent, but obviously some guys stand out above the rest. I'm gonna go with Peterson, Wayne and McNabb. I realize TO will get his TDs but he is getting older and his new offense is less talented then Dallas' was. I see a decline in overall production from him.

    Schaub does intrigue me, but has yet to be as proven a commodity that McNabb is.

    If it's not too late, rethink your decision. You can grab a quality QB in Round 10 in your league where TO will be gone by Round 4.

    I don't know your league's scoring or starting requirements, but I, no doubt, would keep Jonathan Stewart over McNabb.

    Prototype stud RB who put up solid RB2 numbers while sharing carries. He's only 22 years old and , talent-wise, is a top 5 or 6 RB, IMO. I believe last season was closer to his floor than his ceiling. It makes sense that, if anything, Carolina would want to get Stewart more involved in their offense. Also consider that last season was the first time DeAngelo stayed healthy. Can he do it again? Who knows, but if he ever went down Stewart is instantly a top 5 fantasy RB.

    In a redraft, sure, I'd consider McNabb. But Stewart is a keeper league stud that I would never consider dropping, especially in a 12-teamer. A starting QB is far easier to find than a young talented RB.

    Same situation here, two are obvious, but I?m not sure yet, who the third will be

    Brett Favre (NYJ - QB)
    Shaun Hill (SF - QB)
    Adrian Peterson (Min - RB)
    Reggie Bush (NO - RB)
    Ronnie Brown (Mia - RB)
    Darren McFadden (Oak - RB)
    Sammy Morris (NE - RB)
    Owen Daniels (Hou - TE)
    Andre Johnson (Hou - WR)
    Anquan Boldin (Ari - WR)
    Domenik Hixon (NYG - WR)
    DeSean Jackson (Phi - WR)
    Santana Moss (Was - WR)

    Scoring is common, exept we got 0,5pt per reception. Starting QB, TE, 2RB, 2WR, 1R/W-Flex

    AD and Andre Johnson are nobrainers, but I?d like to get some input on the 3rd Guy. I?m leaning torwards Boldin, but Reggie led all WR/RBs in this Leauge, till he got injured, due to the 0,5 PPR, and with an aging Ricky and a runheavy Dolphins O, Ronnie should also get some consideration.

    Thoughts?

    interesting lineup, GJF......i'm scratching my head over Boldin and Reggie Bush as well.

    But if i had to make a snap decision...i'd keep Bush......the guy is a threat in the receiving, rushing and return games respectively (although, i'm not sure how your league is scored). If he stays healthy....he'll be worth it.

    I completely agree with the above. Although I think McNabb will have a stellar year this year I'd side with Stewart for the reasons listed above and the fact that McNabb is only a keeper for what, 2-3 more years and Stewart has 8-9 assuming he performes up to his potential and is given the opportunity.

    QB's are a dime a dozen in fantasy.

    Now, my opinion is based on the assumption that your league fairly std. and is not a QB point bias league and that keepers don't have a limit on years kept.

    I would keep Favre.

    Just kidding - I'd keep Boldin. Reggie Bush has yet to put up a solid fantasy season and I don't see him doing it this year (or ever). Might as well take Leon Washington in the 12th round - he'll give you the same numbers.

    Reggie Bush has yet to put up a solid fantasy season? In PPR leagues, he is a golden god.

    2006 (16 games) - 565 rushing yards and 6 TDs - 88 receptions for 742 yards and 2 TDs.

    2007 (12 games) - 581 rushing yards and 4 TDs - 73 receptions for 417 yards and 2 TDs.

    2008 (10 games) - 404 rushing yards and TDs - 52 receptions for 440 yards and 4 TDs.

    If Bush can stay healthy, he's a great fantasy starter. Washington's reception totals keep going up and up, but he'll never, ever catch 88 balls in a season.
