Hey guys, love the site. I'll renew my subscription soon.

Background: 12 team league, we have to keep (3) players. Important caveat--players picked through FA are kept at the average of: (1) their ADP round, and (2) round 15. So, essentially, the earliest a FA will be kept is round 8. (ADP round 1 + 15 / 2 = 8). You can keep players for (3) years, with the round rising every year.

Here are my keeper options, listed in order of what I believe are the best options:

OBJ: FA (my guess is round 8/9, easily one of the most valuable pieces in the league)
Ingram: round 9
Hyde: round 5
Lafell: FA
Khiry Robinson: round 9
Dwayne Allen: round 15
Ryan Mathews: round 6
Sanu: FA

I got offered Foster and McCoy for OBJ, who I would essentially have at rounds 8-7-6 for the next 3 years. Foster and McCoy are each first rounders. Should I make that move?

I think I agree with Scott, though I'd be tempted by Dwayne Allen with a 15th round pick. Still, not over Hyde. Those three are the guys I'd roll with, and I'd rather hang on to OBJ at that value for the next three years.

I would keep OBJ I think. I like that you can lock him up for the next three years for just 8-7-6. I definitely like you keeping OBJ and Ingram.

I'm still a little iffy on Hyde right now given the other backs the team has. I know he's projected as the starter and keeping him for a fifth is still a bit of a value compared to his ADP, but I guess I'm just not totally sold on him yet. And I just saw he's starting the season on the NFI list, which really isn't a big deal but something to watch in regard to possibly missing time.

But given your options I think I'd go with keeping those 3 over making a move and trading OBJ. And I think you have the right three as far as the ones to keep go. I wouldn't be opposed to trading OBJ, but like you said, he may be the most valuable piece in your league right now so if you do move him, make it count. Foster and McCoy aren't bad but I would try to get that topped if you're looking to shop...

I would make the trade after the draft, so I would retain my first rounder (so many good players are kept, that the 1st round is essentially like rounds 2-3).

Would y'all in fact keep OBJ/Ingram/Hyde, or go with another player listed?

THANKS!
