Fantasy keeper gamers are like long-term investments. There are some who would possibly yield a giant return sooner or later, however value an excessive amount of to purchase into instantly. Others is likely to be low cost however have low yield likelihood within the years forward.
Then others fall completely inside these classes — having each a wholesome outlook and reasonably priced value. These are the gamers we want to hold.
Now, in case you nonetheless play in a keeper league that has no worth connected to particular person gamers — both an public sale worth or a draft decide — then the strategy is easy: Simply hold your finest gamers.
However when you've got left the darkish ages of fantasy behind and are taking part in a up to date sport, then these values are a driving pressure in keeper choices.
These prices will differ from league, however primarily based on this previous season’s redraft values, we are able to get a superb estimate of probably keeper worth in most leagues.
Najee Harris (RB, Steelers): This rookie had a giant season, and his prowess within the passing sport provides to his PPR worth.
Price a excessive value contemplating the rarity of younger, efficient operating backs, and the way quick these runs of excellent manufacturing usually final.
Ja’Marr Chase (WR, Bengals): Was the WR5 in his rookie 12 months, and in addition is on a group with younger stars and a younger QB, with whom he has a long-running connection again to LSU.
Justin Jefferson (WR, Vikings): Breadth of uncertainty surrounding the Vikings — from potential teaching overhaul to Kirk Cousins viability at QB and contract that's up after subsequent season — makes Jefferson much less priceless than Chase long run.
Javonte Williams (RB, Broncos): Didn’t have a splashy rookie season, sharing the load with veteran Melvin Gordon. However Gordon is a pending free agent, and if Denver lastly makes the type of QB improve it has been making an attempt since Peyton Manning retired, Williams’ manufacturing might explode. Oh, and plus, the younger RB thingie, too.
Others who've engaging keeper values embody: Deebo Samuel, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jaylen Waddle and Dalton Schultz.
Making the decision to maintain a participant is necessary, however simply as crucial is figuring out when to let one go.
Lamar Jackson (QB, Ravens): The character of the way in which he performs exposes him to extra potential accidents than many QBs.
Ezekiel Elliott (RB, Cowboys): Appeared previous this 12 months, and RBs get previous fast. So if he already runs previous, it's not a superb signal. Plus, youthful Tony Pollard appears like the higher runner.
Aaron Jones (RB, Packers): At 27, truly one 12 months older than Zeke, Plus, youthful A.J. Dillon appears like the higher runner.
Diontae Johnson (WR, Steelers): This might change dramatically if the Steelers purchase Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson within the offseason, however at current, we’re not going to put money into a WR with a junk QB.
George Kittle (TE, 49ers): He's nice when he performs, however he has missed 12 video games previously two seasons and has performed a full season simply as soon as.
Huge Weeks
Kirk Cousins QB, Vikings, vs. Bears (FanDuel $7,200/DraftKings $6,100)
We loath trusting Cousins, however in a no-pressure state of affairs, at dwelling in a dome, in a day time slot, he might ship one final sturdy sport in a surprisingly strong season.
Samaje Perine RB, Bengals, at Browns (FD $6,500/DK $5,300)
With no Joe Burrow or Joe Mixon and presumably different stars, having locked up a playoff spot, search for Cincy to attempt to simply get the sport performed with out harm. Might even see some work by Captain America, Chris Evans.
Darrel Williams RB, Chiefs, at Broncos (FD $7,000/DK N/A)
Kansas Metropolis nonetheless has home-field hopes, so we count on extra Williams and Derrick Gore. Confirmed final week what he's able to filling in for Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
Kenneth Gainwell RB, Eagles, vs. Cowboys (FD $4,800/DK $4,600)
Very probably no Boston Scott or Jordan Howard, and Miles Sanders beforehand was dominated out.
Small Weaks
Aaron Rodgers QB, Packers, at Lions (FD $8,200/DK $7,800)
A terrific instance of why fantasy leagues shouldn't prolong to the ultimate week. Even with Rodgers beginning, can be surprising if he performs the entire sport. Nothing to realize by risking harm. Places fantasy managers in place wherein they've to contemplate sitting a high QB.
Cordarrelle Patterson RB, Falcons, vs. Saints (FD $6,200/DK $6,400)
The air has gone out of his balloon. Has three straight single-digit video games in PPR, and faces the second-toughest protection vs. opposing fantasy RBs.
Le’Veon Bell RB, Buccaneers, vs. Panthers (FD $5,200/DK $5,000)
Filling in for Leonard Fournette, Ronald Jones was ineffective final week earlier than tweaking his ankle. Le’Veon Bell obtained some use, however he's principally model new nonetheless. Count on extra Ke’Shawn Vaughn towards a powerful run protection.
Darren Waller TE, Raiders, vs. Chargers (FD $6,500/DK $6,100)
Listed as questionable, hoping to return from a knee difficulty after lacking the previous 5 video games. However earlier than that he was a disappointment this season. We don’t count on him to get a full workload, and we dislike harm returnees normally, even in such a superb matchup.
