Keeper Questions: Montee Ball or Giovani Bernard, and Andrew Luck or Michael Crabtree?
I have two decisions to make: Do I keep Montee Ball or Giovani Bernard (round is irrelevant; I'd like to know more who you guys value as a RB prospect).

Also, do I keep Andrew Luck in the 11th round, or Michael Crabtree in the final round? Can't decide which position is more important. 4 pt passing TD scoring.

Jimmy Graham is my 3rd keeper, and I have no other prospects I'm dying to hold on to (Damn you Josh Gordon!).

    Crabtree in the final round is an outstanding value. He could be top ten at his position. Luck in the 11th is a good value, but you can get Romo or Rivers there in all likelihood and those guys aren't that far off of Luck, maybe 2 PPG. I like Gio in PPR and Ball in standard.

    Numberfire is projecting the following:
    Montee Ball: 62.86 receptions, 461.10 yards, 1.44 TDs and 1250.24 rush yards, 9.40 TDs for 230.28 points
    Gio Bernard: 58.81 receptions, 560.75 yards, 2.21 TDs and 874.47 rush yards, 5.90 TDs for 188.50 points

    The numbers favor Ball in both formats

    As far as Luck/Crabtree is concerned, I'd take Luck since he has the ability to finish 4th or 5th overall, giving you the advantage at QB every week in which you aren't facing Brees, Manning, or Rodgers. Crabtree is in the range of Cobb, Nelson, VJax, DJax, Roddy, Garcon...you can easily get one or two of those guys by round 6.

    Luck & Ball. I'm not as high on Gio as others. He feels like Bush or Spiller to me - occasional greatness but more flashes than consistency. Last year at this time, all I read was Buffalo is going to feed Spiller the ball until he throws up. I bought it - took CJ at 6. And now I'll be picking 4th this year. I just think Ball is in a better system to succeed.

    I see your point, but I'm not sure the comparison is fair. Last year wasn't Spiller's rookie year, and his ankle sprain really contributed to his bust factor quite a bit. But its hard for me to be objective...I'm a Bengals fan, so I'm trying to not fixate on ending up drafting Gio and Green in the 1st and 2nd round every draft I do.

    True. As a Bengals fan, I'm sure you saw Gio every game last year. Does he look like he can handle being a workhorse? And was he good in short yardage? I only saw him play 3-4 games so I couldn't honestly answer either question.

    i'd keep luck and bernard... if you had the option i'd keep luck and crabtree. i really do not see ball producing up to all of his hype. i think cj anderson starts by week 6.

    I like Bernard over Ball and Crabtree over Luck.
