The Lions' Pride

Shoot it down......Mike Wallace isn't worth it. - only good when he outruns the defender and get a pass that hits him perfectly in stride. AB & Sanders are both better receivers than Wallace.

Vick's specific injury isn't a problem (his finger will be fine). However, it's likely he'll miss 3+ games anyway for various other injuries. I'd probably keep Brees, especialy with how good Brown was at the end of last year for the Steelers.

Another question. I'm also in a keeper league and have to pick one guy to keep. You get to keep the guy in the round you drafted him. I could have Arian in the 1st or Jimmy Graham in the 11th. If I go Graham, there's a decent shot I'll also end up with first pick in the draft as well (we haven't decided how we're picking who gets what draft position, but if it's random, assuming at least 3-4 keep their first rounders from last year I'd have a 1/6 or so shot at first pick). I'm leaning Arian just because he's just so good, but Jimmy in the 11th with a shot at Arian or a top non-kept QB sounds pretty enticing.

Agree here - keep J. Graham, he's a freak.

This is a tough one. My first instinct is to say keep Foster because of the dearth of elite fantasy RB's nowadays and the growing number of scoring TE's. But I think I'd have to actually go with Graham because of the round. Like you said, if you keep Graham you'll be picking no worse than 6th anyway. I'm not sure who the other teams would keep and would be available to you 1-6, but the bottom line is that you just got one of the two highest scoring TE's on the board in the 11th round. Foster plus your 11th round pick won't equal Graham plus your new 1st round pick.

Brees is better than Vick and Wallace and the uncertainty that they both bring to the table combined. Would need to be a stud RB and Vick or Wallace to make a move like that.

As far as the keep league. Jimmy Graham in a landslide. I personally am not a big fan of the rules of your keeper league where you can keep a 1st round pick from the previous year... Ours has to be 6th round and below. But Jimmy Graham in Round 11 is a huge steal. I don't know if you are in a PPR league but if so Graham is very easily a 3rd round pick if not significantly higher. Arian Foster is a great RB to have, but as you have said you may be able to get him or have a comparable pick otherwise. You cannot come close to duplicating Graham in the 11th.

Twitter talk has Mike Wallace as close to signing a 5 year $50 Million contract. TIFWIW

Thanks for the input guys. +1's to everyone who helped!

Edit Edit Edit: I need to read questions better. Shavismo, Graham for an 11th is a no brainer no matter how good Foster is. I wish I was in such a league b/c I got Graham late last year too.

PSUJOSH...Vick and Wallace for Brees sounds pretty fair to me. I checked out a bunch of auction value sights and they slightly favor Wallance and Vick which they should condsidering you are taking up an extra starting WR spot...I wouldn't do it unless I had one of the top back-up QBs and was weak at WR.

Probably not a raw deal, but who's your back QB?

Ok - just wanted to make sure you had a legit 2nd option in case vick bites the dust.

Good choice on keeping Julio Jones. If you see my post above about Matt Ryan having a solid year, I think Jones is poised for a big year too.

Personally, I'd keep Chris Johnson. I think he's due for a big comeback season. In New England, they have 3 other big time threats at WR/TE in Brandon Lloyd, Hernandez, and Gronk. Welker's numbers will probably drop a bit, IMO, unless the Pats have an record setting offense which is very much possible.
