Who should I keep (up to 3)?
Aaron Rodgers, Matt Forte, Randall Cobb, AJ Green, Rob Gronkowski. There is no separate TE position so TE=WR.

    Amazingly, if there is not designated TE position, I think that Gronk's value normalizes a little bit.

    This is really tough...quite an embarrassment of riches you've got yourself :-)

    Assuming the draft value of all of those players is equal (they don't require sacrificing picks in specific rounds, etc), then I think you're really going to have to examine who else is being kept around the league. I'm hoping you get to see who other owners select as their keepers? Also, where do you draft? Early? Late? The reason I ask is because I could reasonably pick any combination of those three players, given certain circumstances. I'm assuming you're looking for more insight than a simple ranking of all 5 of them...

    Draft value is equal. I lose 1 pick starting with my 1st for each person I keep. I have a general idea of who everyone will keep based on last years rosters but I have to submit mine prior to the draft before I will know for sure. I don't expect everyone will keep 3 players, but all of the top RBs (top 10-top 12) will be kept so Forte is a must. I draft 8th overall so I dont expect even the top 15 RBs to be there when I get to pick.

    If everyone is keeping 3, a lot of top WR will be kept, so keep Green and Cobb for sure. Forte a top-5/top-8 back, so keep him too. I'm willing to pass on Gronk bc after him, TE's can be matchup based each week. Same with QB. Treat your SuperFlex like 2QB, but don't give up a top-tier WR over Rodgers. Plenty of serviceable QB out there (plus, you could maybe get him back if you really want him in the draft)

    Not everyone is keeping 3 so there will be some mid range WRs left as my WR2. I will definitely keep one of Green, Gronk, or Cobb and then keep Forte because I won't get another shot at an RB1 even if he isn't in the same category as the top 5 RBs. Do you think there is a bigger difference between Cobb and a mid WR2 like Matthews, Edelman, or Watkins than there is between Rodgers and a mid QB?

    I think Cobb and Forte are you top 2 keepers, hands down. I think you're fine with Green or Gronk, though bc of the replace-ability of the TE position as a whole, I'd rather have Green. What I'm saying with Rodgers is that QB are even replaceable too... get your top skill players and you'll be fine with other QB. Don't have to have Cobb. Use our Draft Kit for more help too, but glad to keep the discussion going here.

    Hard to say without knowing where you're drafting or who everyone else is keeping, either way I'd say keep Forte because running backs are always the most important, and I'd probably pick AJ Green as the second or maybe Rodgers if you like him a lot.

    Yeah, I definitely keeping Forte just based on the fact that I won't get another RB1 by the time I get to pick. I am also leaning towards AJ because he is a solid WR1 as well. I guess my biggest issue comes with who I keep 3rd. Do I go with Rodgers and have a top QB and draft a Jordan Matthews/Julian Edelman as my WR2, or do I go with Cobb/Gronk and have my QB be someone like Drew Brees or Matt Ryan.
