Can Keep Two Players? - Originally replied to on 12/29/07
Question from: Kerri

     Question - You can keep two players in my league, for a max of two years. I acquired Tom Brady in a trade last year, so I get to keep him for one more year. I have some viable receivers (Hines Ward, Dallas Clark and David Patten), but I want a RB as my other keeper because there are 14 teams in the league and RBs are scarce. However, I just don't feel too secure about my choices: Fred Taylor (who's on fire lately but turns 32 in January), Shaun Alexander (my first round pick this year--ouch), Maurice Morris (a backup who could get more carries) and Jerious Norwood (another backup who was supposed to get more work but didn't).

     Should I stick with Taylor as he runs toward Social Security, or gamble with a youngster?

     Answer - I would definitely keep an RB over an receiver. At least for one keeper. Yes, I would keep either Taylor or Alexander. At the beginning of the year I would of said Alexander would be the keeper, but something is not quite right with him or his situation in Seattle. I think Taylor has shaken off the Fragile Fred status and does have over 1000 yards rushing the last 2 seasons, while Alexander has not top that the last 2. Go ahead and take a chance on Taylor and draft an RB the first round and second if there is not a run on other positions like WR.
