Standard PPR league, QBs TDs = 4 pts...............Pick 3: Adrian Peterson Aaron Rodgers Ray Rice Peyton Hillis Antonio Gates Matt Forte I definitely want to keep Rodgers & Peterson. I'm so torn between Ray Rice and Hillis. Ray Rice basically had no TDs this year and I have to give him the benefit of the doubt that he will bounce back and score more next year. Hillis, is he a fluke? He also has a major knee injury in his past too. Forte - so-so year coming off a terrible year but great for PPR Gates - injury prone now
Where did you draft them? Most leagues that I've been in with keepers tie you into the draft round of that player (i.e. you lose that pick each year you keep the player). So, if you picked up Hillis as a FA, you'd lose, what, your final pick? Nothing?
I don't envy your decision, but either way these are some seriously good keepers. Peyton Hillis has obviously been much better than Rice this year, but you have to worry about those fumbling issues, as well as playing on what should be a weak offense with a 2nd year QB next year. By next year the book should be out on Hillis and McCoy to opposing defenses. I think the Ravens offense will probably improve next year as Flacco progresses and he gets more comfortable with all the weapons around him. His strong arm should keep defenses a little more honest and I definitely expect Rice to have more receiving yards going forward as well. I could really go either way since Hillis is just a larger percentage of his teams offense, but I'd feel more comfortable with Rice. A potential coaching change in Cleveland after this year also makes me a little nervous that Hillis just might not the touches he did this year.
Gates. Rice is losing goal line carries to McGahee and I dont think he will be a top 10 back next season. Gates is hands down the number 1 TE. Hes like starting an Andre/Calvin Johnson at the TE position!
I've been pissed about Rice this year too. I was coming into a league where we were only allowed one, I chose Rice over Peyton Manning. Hillis is a interesting keeper, they're both young. Can you trade Rice for a first round pick and keep Hillis?
I love Hillis this yr, picked him up after week 1, I dont know that you can keep him over Ray Rice though.
