You know the drill, looking for feedback on my keeper situation. Keeping six, standard flea-eligible league scoring/settings. Choices are:
Roethlisberger
Shonn Greene
Cedric Benson
Willis McGahee
Tony Gonzalez
Denarius Moore
Brandon Marshall
Dwayne Bowe
Jeremy Maclin
Michael Crabtree
Owen Daniels
Pretty messy group, lot of interchangeable risk/reward ratios. Bowe looks like a lock, and Marshall is close to it, although he is certainly a strong contender for 'The Biggest Ticking Time Bomb' in the League'. Crabtree finished strong, but I'm skeptical the additions of Manningham and Moss will help at all in an offense that throws so little, Maclin will continue to be the #1A receiver in Philly, Denarius flashed big potential, Greene (very) quietly racked up 1200 total yards and the Jets could be going back to a run-heavy philosophy, McGahee is 'the guy' for now in Denver, Roethlisberger topped 4K yards (even though he only threw for 3 or more TDs in a game twice all season), and the ageless Gonzo somehow finished as the No. 4 fantasy TE in his age 36 campaign. So, what do I do?
Looking at your team, the biggest issue is your lack of draft picks. With your current pick situation, you need to keep a QB, 2 RB, and 3 WR to have a chance at competing. I would keep Roethlisberger, Greene, McGahee, Bowe, Maclin, and Marshall. Moore may be able to bring in a second or third round pick. Gonzalez and daniels could net you 3rd or 4th round picks.
My team will compete, I'll hit the waiver and trade wires plenty hard. Unfortunately, it's a very unforgiving play-off setup: 15-game regular season, championship in week 16. Cracking the top-two will be pretty rough. At present, I would go with either the group you listed, or with replacing McGahee with Holmes, just depends on how the off-season unfolds. Bowe/Marshall will be some numbers. You're right though, draft is going to be just as tough.
