I’m in a 10 team PPR salary cap league. Scoring is pretty standard except QBs get 6 pts per passing touchdown and 0.1 points per completion. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 2 RWT Flex, and 1 Def. The draft has a $200 budget and is pretty competitive. QBs are pretty undervalued typically in the league with teams spending an average of only $6.10 on their starting QB last year. I dominated the end of the season last year and am stuck with a team for which I’m struggling to pick keepers. The rules are that they cost $5 more than they cost last year, either by the draft or via FAAB pickup.
Here are the keeper costs I’m choosing between:
Justin Herbert (QB): $6
Josh Allen (QB): $7
Davante Adams (WR): $45
Allen Robinson (WR): $28
Brandin Cooks (WR): $5
Stefon Diggs (WR): $19
Derrick Henry (RB): $15
David Montgomery (RB): $8
Darren Waller (TE): $11
Several of these guys are at amazing prices. Waller’s a little tricky because we don’t start a TE except in the flex position. Adams is at about what I estimate his accurate cost would be, but knowing my league, he’s gonna go for $10-20 more. Allen is tricky. He’s one of the few QBs in the league people may bid decently on. He’s at the price I’d typically spend on a QB here too, so he makes a really tempting offer, but I generally have a policy to never keep a QB since I can usually get a top 5 one for well under $10. I had Montgomery on my bench most of last season until he turned it around at the end. I normally would hold off on him, but drafting a 2nd RB is really tough in this league. I had to spend almost $35 on Todd Gurley last year, and that did not go over very well.
I’m leaning toward Henry, Diggs, and either Allen or Montgomery, but I really hate to lose my #1 ranked receiver at cost when I know he’ll go for more.
