this turned out pretty well, he got me 30 in that league and moved me to 84 points out of 3rd, so i hope for another pretty good week next week to keep getting closer, i want my money back

I'm going back to just 1 next year.
4 is my usual number, I've done more but 4 works for me and usually satisfies my urge for drafting, and all 4 are with friends or family and that helps keep my interest
go with keenum, whoever asked on last page. foles has been a godsend in my two-qb league, though i just traded him for flacco and zac stacey because i also have stafford and brees. i really lucked out that stafford had a bye the week foles destroyed the raiders.
I'm in a keeper league, just picked up Julio Jones and Arian Foster off waivers for free. So they'll cost me $5 each next year if I want them. I'm not sure about Foster, but it's worth the wasted roster spot to have the option. Julio, on the other hand, is gonna be a steal.

absolutely, how the hell do you drop someone like Julio in a keeper league

I mean I guess he felt like he needed the roster spot, and he probably wouldn't keep him because you have to pay $5 more for the player the second year, $10 more the third, etc, so maybe coming off an injury you wouldn't want to pay the increased price, which would be over $50. So I get that, but man he just gave me tremendous value. It pretty much guarantees that I can drop Megatron again next year (I've had him every year, but don't keep him and end up re-drafting him and paying less than I would if I added the $5) and still be able to afford him even at a high price again.

ive never actually done a keeper league so i dont know all the ins and outs of it, but i guess that does make sense for him, and if you can have a hopefully healthy Julio and still get Megatron then you will be ridiculous at WR

you can't IR an injured player?
No. I don't know if that's common in keepers or not, but we don't have a provision for that. We start 9 players a week and have 14 roster spots. So my bench is down to 3 guys who are still among the living, but this is the last week of byes so I went for it.

I think he should have done his best to keep him just so nobody could do what I did and start next year with an advantage. If Jones was still on his roster at the end of the season and he didn't designate him as a keeper then everybody would have to bid on him like any other player.
