    Those are your only choices or do you to chose from your entire roster? I've never been in a keeper league.

    But he will be a beast for years to come. I'm thinking long term with him. I dont see White and Jennings having nearly as much impact 3 seasons from now, whereas AP will still be an elite back. Also, this year there are plenty of WRs to take in later rounds (Vincent Jackson, Stevie Johnson, Antonio Brown, Greg Little, Nate Washington...). Might as well keep the elite RB and then draft Gerhart later in the draft as insurance. He will be a good RB2 is AP cant go the whole season.

    AP is awesome, no doubt, but RB's break down way to fast, no way i want to hold an injured player when i get a top flight WR that doesn't take the beatings of a RB.

    I would agree if the WR was Johnson, but White also gets injured and is very hit or miss, and the Packers spread the ball too much for me (even though I realize their offense is potent). Since AP is such a physical freak that I dont think he will be subject to the normal wear and tear of a top RB, I would take my chances on him. The top RBs in the league continue to get backups that steal a lot of their points- this hasnt and probably wont happen with AP. I can see the argument for one of the WRs, but the reward greatly outweighs the risk for AP IMO.

    My only advice is don't draft any Fish. They all suck.

    That is a tough one. Who knows what Manning will look like and Roethlisberger's O-line is a complete mess as usual. Even with the shitty o-line, Ben always seems to put up solid fantasy numbers. I'd maybe lean towards Roethlisberger as the safer start.

    I go with Peyton, but they will probably score about the same

    Yeah, I think Manning might have the best shot of either of them for putting up a big day, but he has a better shot of having a bad day too, I think.

    I got off to a bad start with Eli/Nicks combo. Luckily I am facing the team which I think is the worst in the league week 1 so I should be fine. Good luck!
