My turn: FFL keeper advice wanted

[TNFL]

I play in an auction league that allows 2 keepers, for $5 more than was paid the previous year.

(my estimated value based on expert projections and league scoring)

I will keep Larry Johnson for $17 (steal $52), but am stuck between Rudi Johnson $21 ($24), Willis McGahee $13 ($16), or Matt Hasselbeck $10 ($15).

Since you have to pay $5 more each year McGahee seems to have the most risk/reward/upside. Can he return to his form of two years ago? Was last year just an off year?

RJ is the best player of the three at a fair price but there is a good possibility both Alexander ($42) and Tomlison ($39) get released as thier keeper price is around $45, same with p.Manning ($31).

Hasselbeck seems like good value but not if I make a run at Manning, if he's even available.

I'm leaning towards MH and hoping to get one of the other big 3 at RB.

Sorry this is long winded. What would you do? and why!

I don't play an auction league, but as far as players go, Rudi is a solid keeper. I guess it depends on how your league is too, are RB's more favored in points or is it more of a QB league?

QB's get 6=TD 1=50yds a three or four td game gets youa win

RB's get 6=TD 1=15yds

Do you lose points for INT? What is your salary Cap?

Definetely not Hasselbeck - Qbs are a dime a dozen - If you can cut all of them loose, I would only keep LJ and go for Tomlinson or Alexander because if you get one of them, you will be tough to beat no matter who your receivers are. If you have to keep someone, why don't you just keep some crappy player so that you have enough to land one of those big guns? Othwerwise, I would stay away from McGahee because that is a terrible football team and keep Rudi.

[TNFL]

yes you lose points for ints, fumbles.

$100 cap 14 players

P. Manning has been released, Tomlinson is 90% to be released
