Keeper Decision (Ellington, Tannehill, or Bennett)
10 Team 1/2 PPR League, 5 pt. Pass TD. Start QB / 2 RB / 2 WR / TE / Flex / DL / LB / DB. 7 Bench spots. I can play Bennett at flex. I can only keep one player. I choose 9th overall.

Ellington was a 4th round pick, Bennett a 9th, and Tannehill was undrafted, so I'm allowed to keep him in the last round (17th).

I'm leaning towards Tannehill because he gives me the biggest ADP value, but I'm not sure I trust him to start every week after losing Wallace, Gibson, and Clay. If I keep him I'll most likely take another QB (targeting guys like Bridgewater and Palmer late, they won't be drafted knowing the guys in my league) and/or stream if need be. But I love Tanny's upside as he keeps getting better every year.

Bennett is my second choice right now. I like him because of his already solid target volume which may even increase and his new, increased redzone potential with Marshall gone. I also seem to get burned by undervaluing my TE spot every year and getting little production out of it. (I traded for Bennett after drafting Pitta and picking up Dwayne Allen) Instead of having to take him in the 5th or 6th (my league tends to get TE happy around the 5th), I can grab him in the 9th, probably still get Tannehill in the 10th, and get 4 RB and WR with my first 8 picks.

Ellington is the only other viable keeper option I have. He's not much of a value at 4 but it would free me up to go WR/WR with my 9th and 12th overall. I'm comfortable with a duo of Ingram/Spiller/Gore/Miller and Ellington, but I suspect I can just get Ellington with the 2nd pick of the 4th round if I want and I know I'll kick myself if someone slips through the cracks and I'm stuck with Ellington, who I like but don't love.

Edit: One more note. ODB, Romo, Gronk, Jeremy Hill, Luck, Evans, Watt, and Anderson are being kept.

    Tannehill. The value is so good.

    Definitely tannehill. You'll be able to pick the other guys close to those rounds if you like. Miami added Cameron, Still, and Jennings so receiving core should be better this year, plus another year in the system. You could grab another QB like Rivers or Eli and play the matchups.

    Thanks. That's what I'm thinking right now too.
