Bell, Gurley, Robinson, and Lacey. All right, let's go to John in Connecticut. He says, what do you think about my keeper format, where a guy cannot be kept more than one year in a row, and you lose the ADP plus two rounds at the time of the draft in August. Using this format, would you choose Keenan, Allen, Edelman, Ingram, or AJ Green? I...

53:48 ↗

I'm fine with leagues that say you can't keep a guy more than one year in a row. That's all right. I think it's kind of an unnecessary rule if you're an active league. So I would prefer to not have that as far as who I would keep. I'm going to keep Ingram. How many guys? One. Then Ingram? I guess. Oh, was that not clarified? I thought I heard it was only keep one. It's a full PPR league.

54:16 ↗

Full PPR, 80P plus two. Uh, might be have to, might be Keenan Allen for me. Oh, Ingram. I'd go Ingram. I'd go Ingram, Green, Allen, Edelman. I'd go Ingram Allen, Green. All right, Halliday in Tennessee. I'm in a Keeper League with the Keeper deadline coming up at the end of March. My options are Bell for a first, gronk for a second, green for a fourth. Who should I keep and why? P.S. Keep up the good work.

54:45 ↗

Half point PPR. Jason, what do you think? Uh, uh, he's keepers coming up soon. I'm going to take Gronk in the second. Really? Because, yeah, Gronk is a true absolute game changer. You don't have to give up your first. You can never get Gronk in the second. I like him. Did you see the name of this next question? I do. But I didn't get to answer the previous question. Yeah, I know, because I asked Jason for his answer. Okay. No, go ahead. AJ Green in the fourth.

55:14 ↗

All right. And the reason why is because AJ Green can be a top five wide receiver. He's a top 10 at worst to me to get that guy in the fourth round and then still clean up with other great guys in the first, second, and third. Give me green. This one comes in from Brockness Monster. Maybe that's funny. You got it. No, because Jason's in. I didn't put these in. I didn't put these in. Oh, well, Brockness Monster in Phoenix, Arizona. What? He's here. Is this you, Andy?

55:42 ↗

Andy, did you write in? I need some help, guys. Our league allows four keepers at the value of their draft rounds, keeping Antonio for a first and Jordy for a 14th. I need help choosing two running backs between these. Lamar for a third, Ingram for a fifth, Freeman for a tenth. Ingram and Freeman. Ingram and Freeman. Ingram and Freeman. Ingram and Miller are close together as of right now, like we were talking about at the top of the show.

56:11 ↗

Two-round difference, give me Ingram. Chris and Derby, there are not many top tight ends this year. Well, maybe there are now. Yeah, that changed. If I miss out on one of the top guys, Gronk Olson, Walker, Reed, Barninger, Kelsey, I don't like Eifert because he relies on too many touchdowns. Who would be a good option to draft in a late round? You just got a few more. Yeah, my guys. Dwayne Allen, Kobe Fleener, Lerius Green, Eric Ebrin. There you go. Question answered. I'm going to compound onto this question.

56:41 ↗

Because we are big fans of Rule 86 Jordan Reed here. Andy has stated he would take him as high as the third. Now with so many extra options available, do you still take Reed that high? Yep. Okay. But good question. I don't, none of those options come with guarantees. None of those options come with. I mean, I feel like there are flyers before or after the free agent signing that.

57:05 ↗

would have, you know, you could talk them into the late round tight end. I don't blame Jason for doing that going late. I still like Jordan Reed a lot. My number one option this year is probably going to be Greg Olson in the fourth, if I can grab them in the fourth. And after that, you know, fleen early. I like it. I'm a Jordan Reed in the fourth range right now, which I think that's right about where he will go. And so I've been, I have been willing to pay that market price for him. But now with.

57:33 ↗

Dwayne Allen is a guy who I've loved through the years. I think I've seen massive potential there. The time split and the injuries have kept him from being a top tight end option. But Kobe's gone. So with him, Kobe Fleener in New Orleans, I mean, it's swaying me now that maybe I don't want to pay that capital for Jordan Reed. That's very fair. And I think as the rest of the free agent chips fall, we'll know a little bit.

58:01 ↗

more about how the tight ends will shake out. So we are going to wrap up the show now. If we didn't get to your question, we are pushing those questions to the next show. So we're going to answer those as well there with tons of new free agent news that has probably been breaking while you've been listening to this. We also have a lot more free agent talk.
