I’m in a PPR keeper league and need to choose two of the following: peyton manning, dallas clark, and michael turner.  Based on other teams’ keepers, there are very few good running backs left, so I’m leaning towards Michael Turner for one.  There are a number of decent quarterbacks and tight ends left as well.  Who should I keep?

Out of the players listed Peyton and Turner are your best keepers. You could proly redraft Dallas Clark in the 4th or 5th round depending on your league.

 Signature 

QB Stafford, Orton
RB Rice, Foster, Ricky Williams, Sammy Morris, Kahill Bell
WR J. Nelson, Julio Jones, S. Moss, N. Washington, T. Smith

Even in a PPR league?  When I averaged their points from different projections, Turner and Clark were neck and neck.  I have been hearing that the TE pool is very deep, but at the same time, Clark seems to get a lot more receptions than other TEs.

What QB’s are you projecting to be there copmarable to manning?
It makes it a tough decision being PPR.

That’s a good point. I don’t pick until 8th, so the QB’s that are out there could go quickly and there aren’t many that will put up the stats that Manning should.

I’ll take my chances with the QB and RB.  I appreciate the help.

BTW I really like the Mannig to Clark connection, but I think Turner will be back to his 2008 form 1500-1700 yds with 12-18 TD’s. I doubt that you’ll find that kind of talent thrown back to be redrafted.

Keeping Manning and Turner is the smart thing to do. Clark is good but you can get another TE that will not be as big a drop off as not keeping the QB and RB
