Fantasy football season is starting to gear up. I just finished the restricted free agent part of my dynasty league offseason. We start bidding on free agents Monday. Dwayne Bowe will be mine!
One typical mistake that I see owners make in keeper leagues is that they confuse their keeper league with a dynasty league. A quick example....
Chopenstein (or whatever his login is....where are you dick?) is currently in a full keeper (one offense/one defense) league. With the second pick in the first round one owner selected Knowshon Moreno. In a dynasty league, this would be a very good selection. The problem is this isn't a dynasty league and it isn't a deep keeper league. In other words, there is a whole lot of talent out there better than Moreno. Guys like Stephen Jackson and Frank Gore were available. Moreno might produce better numbers than those guys, but you simply can't ignore draft value and Moreno doesn't have it there. This guy could probably have waited a round and ended up with Jackson/Moreno or Gore/Moreno, which is a much stronger tandem than what he will end up with.
I get what this owner was trying to do, get a keeper he can hold on to for years. Smart fantasy owners draft the best team, not the best team of keeper possibilities. Who cares if you rotate out keepers ever other season or even every season. Keeper leagues, especially shallow keeper leagues like this aren't about finding young possible stud running backs. That is what dynasty leagues are for.
Anyway, I thought this was a good example of somebody using a dynasty league strategy in a keeper league so there ya go. I would also like to add, that people need to stop thinking that whoever is the Denver running back is going to be a stud. The offensive line isn't near what it used to be and with a crowded backfield, new coach and nothing at QB, I would take a pass if I could.
