	Who would you keep? Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I am in a fantasy league where you can protect two players, of course I have three that are in question.
MOSS
MANNING
HOLMES.
I am leaning towards MOSS AND HOLMES.
Suggestions are appreciated.

Not that I know what this is about, of course.

It's wide open, you have to redraft all the rest of your players you can only protect 2 players prior to the draft.

When is the draft? The few extra days can show you if Holmes' hip is healthy.

manning/holmes will deliver the most pts cuz they are the right positions. but moss is higher up relatively on the scale at his position. tho holmes is prolly in the top 4 fantasy rb and last year had a fantasy year to destroy all fantasy years.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Draft date is September 2nd, Holmes seems to be OK from the physical point, and the last game, I would be surprised if he saw the first quarter complete. Moss put up 2 touchdowns against the Raider this week and Manning has Harrison to throw to so this isn't that easy.

I see. In that case, Manning and Holmes.

Moss' performance will be doubtful with the Randy-ratio out and a dodgy runnng game.

Plus, there are many other excellent wideouts who can be drafted instead of Moss.

Manning and Moss, then draft 2 RBs early.

Holmes and Manning. Lots of WR's out there.

I'd go with Manning and Holmes too... Moss will rely to much on a QB that actually get him the ball, though if Culpepper can stop running maybe he could do something... Manning is coming into his prime and Holmes is the definite of your 3... Yeah, I'd take the players who are more likely to get more touches on the play...

It really depends on the scoring system and who everyone else in you league is keeping.
If you notice a lot of RB being kept, then go for Manning/Moss as in the early rounds people will be scrambling for good WR/QB leaving the good RB's that wern't kept out there. Conversely, if each team is keeping a QB, then what could possibly be the point on keeping Manning? Who on earth is going to pick a backup QB in the first three rounds???

Now the scoring system. Is it a performance league, or a straight points league? How many points for a thrown TD, 3 or 6? How is yardage calulated? What about Int's? In my league, we have several categories that are "scored" in. One of them is Passing yardage. Not many players score in that category. Thus, I did keep Manning this season (not to mention I would probably keep him in regular leagues cause he is IMO the best QB in the game right now).

GREAT Strategy!

Can you tell who people are keeping before the draft or do you not know until you have to 'lock in' your picks?

In the league I play in, keepers are anounced in order of finish last year. The Fantasy bowl winner announces first, Fantasy Bowl loser announces second, ect (and onward to the last place team). Draft order is just like in the NFL. Last place picks first and first place picks last. Unfortunately, due to some league members not paying attention during the off season, the keepers are not announced until draft day. If you know your players, however, you can look at someones roster from last year and dertermine who each team is keeping. The best part of this system (known draft order) is that you can trade draft picks. If your team is looking strong and you see a weak team that has no realistic chance of making the playoffs who has a strong player at a position you are weak at, you can trade him high round picks in an attempt to get a stronger team for a Fantasy Bowl win. The draw back to this is you basicly sacrafice the next season.

The keepers are announced just before the draft begins and I finished second, first if Holmes wouldn't have gotton hurt, so I draft 2nd from the last.
Japher made a good point, I am starting to switch my keepers to Manning and Holmes, most touches and with Bennet out for the year(basically), more pressure and attention will be given to Moss and Culpepper and most teams will tell Minnesota to try and beat us with the run and defend against the pass.

Manning and Holmes...

Priest is a no-brainer... keep him... but I'd take Peyton over Randy because Peyton has Marvin Harrison, record setting WR, while Moss has the shaky, inconsistent Culpepper throwing to him. The Colts offense is much better than the Vikes...
