Hey all you Fantasy Footbal minds, here's a tough one.

14 team league. I've got 4 potential keepers and I can keep 3.

Aaron Rodgers (no brainer, 6 pts for pass TD league)

then it gets tricky...

LeSean McCoy
CJ Spiller
Jimmy Graham

Graham is a near lock for #1 TE barring injuries but it's hard to drop a stud RB...

Assuming I keep 3, I would then not draft until the 4th round which would give me pick #50 or so in a 14 team league.

Starting spots are:
QB
RB
RB
WR
WR
RB/WR
TE
K
DST

McCoy and gram
Hands down

Spiller plays on a bad team and although he is the one major bright spot on offense I don't think he can be trusted long term. Shady will catch balls out of the back field and graham is the best TE in the league due to Hernandez and Gronk issues for the pats.

...and graham is the best TE in the league due to Hernandez and Gronk issues for the pats.

We still have the best TE in the league.... Tim Tebow. 

As good as Graham is, I'd still lean towards keeping the 2 RB.  To be honest though, the 2 RB listed are potential RB1 while at the same time able to slip to a RB3.  And we know with Sean Payton back, he'll probably pull a Belicheck and run up the score in every game, so Graham is looking good.

After all is said and done, I'd probably go with Rodgers/McCoy/Graham knowing full well I'll take a RB with my first pick.  Then get your WR in the next two rounds.

I think if the right WR is available you might take him over ur 2nd RB, really just depends on who it is.

I don't play Fantasy football, so I cannot speak for the point system, but I think CJ Spiller is going to have a big year. If EJ Manuel gets a lot of starts, then CJ's numbers will be huge. Manuel is a lot like Russell Wilson, and Marshawn Lynch had a big year last year under Wilson. Similarly Albert Morris had big numbers under RG3. Of course, if Manuel doesn't play much after his knee "procedure" then the Bills will go to Kevin Kolb, who won't strike fear into many defenders. I would expect the Bills to give the ball to Spiller quite a lot. Even though this would cause most coaches to stack the line, Buffalo has great run-blockers, so Spiller will get his numbers either way.

Kept both RBs...decided that after Graham, the rest of the TEs will be fairly even (until Gronk gets back) so there's only one other team in the league that will have a big advantage against me with the TE spot, and I can almost guarantee that team will not have a better RB than either of my top two.
