Who should I keep for my carryovers in Fantasy Football?

Question

I am in a league were we get to carryover 2 players but they have to be from different positions. Here are my choices: Vince Young, Joseph Addai, Willis McGahee, Travis Henry, Torry Holt, Marques Colston. I was pretty set going with Young and Holt but with McGahee going to the Ravens, Henry going to the Broncos and Addai being the main guy in Indy now that Dominic Rhodes is gone I am rethinking my options. So let me know what you think.

Answer 1

Joseph Addai and Torry Holt.

Simple because Addai is better catching the ball then Edge was and is also a better slasher then he is. Colts don't pound the ball they stretch it to the outside almost every run. Breakaway speed ='s TD. If you can go back and look how many times Edge was tackled from behind when he played for the Colts.

Next to Marvin Harrison Holt is the most Constant WR in football Hands down. No matter how you slice it you get at least 1,200 yards Receiving and 10-12 TD's for starters. He is also very capable of exceeding those numbers on a yearly basis.

How could you take Vince Young? So many QB's out there...
McGahee is a baby and has a bum knee, Henry is a ? in Denver, is he really going to run for 1,000 yards or will another Denver RB come out of no where to take his carries happens ever year. Colston is a question mark also. Will the Saints be the same team from a year ago, if you remember Drew Brees Hurt his arm/shoulder in the Pro Bowl. Don't forget about the sophomore slump.

I'd go with Joseph Addai and Torry Holt...

Answer 2

The good news is, you have some tasty choices.

Don't waste a keeper on a QB. You will be able to have an equally stellar Jay Cutler or Phillip Rivers caliber guy in a mid to late round draft pick.

I would avoid Henry, only because Mike Shanahan is the devil, and I have a feeling Mike Bell will be his goalline back. Henry also has strikes in the substance abuse program. Risky. The days of Terrell Davis are gone.

Holt is a no-brainer. The guys has averaged 10TDs and 1100+ yards the last four years. Plus the Rams are running the ball well, so that will really open things up for Holt. I personally think he is the best WR in fantasy.

Colston is nice, and I love the WR/TE flex, but NO will play a first place schedule, and a sophomore slump is always a possibility, like Michael Clayton in Tampa two years ago.

I like Addai slightly over McGahee. Indy has a better line, and better WRs who actually block. Baltimore has a so-so line, and mediocre WRs, less Heap. Teams can still load up to stop the Baltimore ground game, as they don't fear McNair they way they do Manning/Wayne/Harrison.

Holt and Addai -- you are going to have a good season.

Answer 3

Torry and Addai.

Torry Holt is Mr. Consistency, and Joseph Addai will be good now that he's got all the carries to himself. You should be able to do better than Young at QB, and McGahee and Henry are trash. Marques Colston is awesome at TE, but as a WR, Holt will get more stats.

Answer 4

Hmm, I like McGahee on the Ravens, but I think Addai can be the next Edge on that colts team. If you are playing ppr I say take Colston, otherwise, go Holt

Answer 5

Torry Holt and Joseph Addai

Holt is a great number one receiver - he never has a down year and he is consistently one of the top receivers in the game - you can't go wrong with him

Addai is going to get a lot of touches in the Colts offense... plus the Colts score a ton of TDs and he is destined to get a bunch of them - including goal line carries...

Answer 6

Colston and Henry

DONT TAKE
Dont take Vince- there will be plenty of other young QB's available in the draft.
McGahee is still a health risk- for that reason I dont keep him.
Addai would be ok- Would take him but Henry as a bronco.
Holt is amazing- well hes amazing.

KEEPERS
Colston- with Brees at QB there will be nothing but improvement for this young WR. Also with Horn gone he'll be in the number 1 spot.
Henry- Shanahan does wonders with RB's. Although in the past i've never taken Denver RB's because they split time I think Shanahan will give the rock to Henry 75-80percent of the time. Henry could post huge numbers in '07-08.

Answer 7

I would go with McGahee and Holt. Holt is a top 5 reciever in the league especially with Bulger passing to him. I also think that McGahee has a slight edge over the other two backs but not much.

Answer 8

Take me.
