Took over this crappy keeper league team and blew it up, trying to decide who I should nail down as my four keepers. The first six are players I currently own, the last six are available players I'm locked out of for approximately two months (wtf, fleaflicker?):
Frank Gore
DeAngelo Williams
Mike Williams (TB)
Ryan Mathews
Ochocinco
Cutler
-------------
Jermichael Finley
Dallas Clark
Steve Smith (Car)
Randy Moss
Matthew Stafford
Tim Tebow
I know, all the QBs listed are pretty iffy, just keeping my options open. I wanna say I'm committed to Gore/DeAngelo/M. Williams for three spots, but really I'm still open to all of them. As raw/probably terrible as he is, Tebow's running ability is undeniably intriguing. And with Elway/Kubiak possibly aligning as the new regime in Denver.. it's very interesting. Stafford could very well be a top-8 producer at QB next year, if his shoulder stops popping out. LOVE the potential of Finley (like everyone did coming into the year), so I don't think he'll be off the radar enough next year to redraft him with a lower priority draft pick. Steve Smith and Moss would just be dice rolls, but they're obviously both potential studs. Ochocinco seems less risky, but also with a lower ceiling than those two.
Anyway. Thoughts? All rambling explanations welcome, obviously.
Also, any super-early speculation on what uniforms DeAngelo and Ochocinco will be wearing next year? Would be nuts for Carolina to keep Williams, at this point. But where does he go? I don't see that many openings for him. And what team is going to give the circus act that is Ochocinco a contract/sanctuary? And furthermore, is there even a chance his production will merit it? Because I'm starting to worry he's become the Santana Moss of the AFC.
