I own Leon Washington in my keeper league . We keep 7 players every year in this league . My question is ? What are your thoughts on Thomas Jones ? will he be with the Jets this year ! and if not? do you feel Leon can carry the load and be the man !!! Or are the Bills going to be in the market for another RB in the draft ?? :hmmm: Zombie

I think you are talking about the Jets not the Bills. I think Jones will work things out and have a good year for the Jets, that being said if you have a PPR league and/or get return stats you should still consider Leon. Who are your other options?

According to Leon he's going to revolutionize the NFL. I think if you have a PPR league he may be worth keeping depending on your lineup. Could you post your current roster highlighting the guys you like and maybe the league scoring system?

Oops ! sorry Guys ! I meant to put Jets ... Scoring system is very basic . Not a PPR league . Rbs/Wr/Te 6 pt TD , 1 pt per ten yds rushing or receiving , -2 fmble . QB's same except 1 pt per 50 yds passing . below is my roster :

P.Manning
M.Cassel
Pierre Thomas
Ray Rice
L.Washington
J.Norwood
T.Hightower
P.Hillis
A.Gonzalez
D.Bowe
S.Holmes
S.Breaston
K.Boss

At this point I plan on keeping .. Manning / Cassel /Thomas / Rice / Washington / Bowe / Holmes .

I would keep Manning, Hightower, Bowe, A. Gonzalez, Rice then either Thomas/Holmes/Breaston depending on how the Boldin situation works out.

A. Gonzalez is going to be the clear 2 with Marvin gone and should be Wayne of 3 years ago. I dont think Cassel is work this high a pick especially with Manning as your starter. I would wait to get a QB in the first round of your draft (in essence round 8).

when do you have to pick your keepers? . . . the later the better because there should be a couple training camp battles that could set you up really nice . . . ;)

Actually we don't have to decide until draft day . Late August . Hopefully training camps will help me ! I am hurting bad at RB ... I like Manning of course , and all my receivers ! Zombie

I'd have a hard time going with Washington over Breaston in standard scoring. That would be my only difference to your thoughts.

I hold Washington in a dynasty league, but due to my other backs he won't likely ever see a start. I hope he can at least temporarily emerge as a tangible FF player if only so I can trade him for a need elsewhere.

I dont think Leon is capable of a starting RB role anyways. He still carries value on 3rd downs and return game though.

Thomas Jones won't last much longer, that's for sure.
