Question from: Mike

     Question - I'm in a league that allows only one keeper. They're due before next year's draft. This leads to a bit of a problem (a good problem, but a problem): should I keep Tom Brady or Adrian Peterson (Vikes, not Bears)? I'm leaning toward AP, since an elite running back is much harder to come across than a great quarterback, but I'm still unsure. So should I wait to see how AP heals up? Any advice?

     Answer - You have plenty of time to decide which is good so you can see how AP heals and possibly what players will be available for you to draft. That is something I would consider before keeping Brady or AP. For example, one situation is you keep Brady and no RB is available but, other QBs are (but not close to Brady). It would be best to keep AP. Another situation is you keep AP and no QB is available, but RBs are. It would be best to keep Brady. Plus, keep in mind your draft position.

     Straight up in an ideal situation I would keep Brady. His numbers are better than all other players in our leagues and is not an injury concern. The small question is can he keep it up next season? He will be hard pressed do duplicate his numbers this year and who knows what the WR depth will look like for the Pats if players should be traded, get injured, ect. He will still put up big numbers.

     I do tend to keep RBs more than QBs due to the fantasy points they get in most leagues and the great demand fantasy teams have for them. But, AP has a little IR question now and what about a sophomore slump? The only way I would keep AP is from the above situation one I mentioned above.
