Roster Overviews Part II

Here's a look at the rest of the rosters around the league.

Eugene (Great BolerosofFire)

QB-Russell Wilson, Alex Smith

RB-DeMarco Murray, Gio Bernard, Ryan Mathews, Fred Jackson

WR-Julio Jones, Eric Decker, Eddie Royal, Chris Givens, Robert Woods, Darius Heyward-Bey, Doug Baldwin, Julian Edelman

TE-Antonio Gates

Possible Keepers: Julio Jones, Gio Bernard, Demarco Murray

Julio Jones was a terror before suffering a season ending injury early in the season. Luckily due to IR spots, Eugene was able to stash him and he's now eligible to keep. The keepers are intriguing here. Julio Jones and DeMarco Murray are both amazing players...when they are healthy. Both have been prone to injuries and it would be a tough pill to swallow if Eugene were to keep them and they get hurt yet again. You also have a potential star there in Gio Bernard who should get most of the workload with the Bengals this season. All 3 are top 2 round talents, but have question marks of their own. Eugene could also just play it safe and jump back into the draft to see what's out there. I'm really interested to see what this team does.

Matt (Dr. Light's Robots)

QB-Robert Griffin III, Matt Schaub

RB-Jamaal Charles, Andre Brown, Maurice Jones-Drew, Joique Bell

WR-Jordy Nelson, Roddy White, Marques Colston, Golden Tate, Kenbrell Thompkins, Denarius Moore

TE-Jordan Reed, Dennis Pitta

Potential Keepers: Jamaal Charles, Jordy Nelson

The good news is that Matt arguably has the best running back in the league in Jamaal Charles. That's a lock as keeper #1. The downside is the rest of Matt's team really lacks a 2nd star as the only one worth possibly a keeper pick is Jordy Nelson. Roddy White, Marques Colston, and Jordan Reed are all fine mid round picks, but I don't think any of those are worth a 2nd round pick. Jordy is definitely an option, but there's a strong possibility Matt jumps back in the 2nd round to see what's out there.

Leland (NEXT!!!!)

QB-Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, Josh McCown, Andy Dalton

RB-Danny Woodhead, Andre Ellington, C.J. Spiller

WR-Riley Cooper, Randall Cobb, Steve Smith, James Jones, Justin Hunter, DeAndre Hopkins, 

TE-Greg Olsen, Rob Housler

Potential Keepers: Randall Cobb, Andre Ellington, C.J. Spiller

Here's the problem, really none of the potential keepers grades out as a 1st round pick. The cupboard is pretty bare here. QB wise, though Brady is great, if you don't have Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, or Peyton Manning, it's probably not the best idea to keep a QB (although ironically, even those 3 could be available in this draft).The only real reason I put C.J. Spiller here, is that it's gotta be tough to bite the bullet and release your #1 overall pick from a year ago. Andre Ellington is supposed to be the feature back in Arizona now, but that's quite a gamble to keep him. Cobb is an elite receiver, but is he a top 12 pick? That's the question Leland will have to answer. Leland might be one those rare teams who may have to reboot the franchise and start from scratch, keeping both draft picks instead of keeping an actual player.

Drew (JTG'S WAREHOUSE)

QB-Andrew Luck, Jay Cutler

RB-Adrian Peterson, Reggie Bush, Trent Richardson

WR-Keenan Allen, Danny Amendola, Kendell Wright, Andre Holmes, Hakeem Nicks, Michael Floyd, Quinton Patton

TE-Jordan Cameron, Ryan Griffin

Possible Keepers: Adrian Peterson, Reggie Bush, Keenan Allen

The Peterson/Bush "Dream Team" didn't exactly work out last season. Drew is definitely 100% keeping AD, but I think he'll take a good look at Keenan Allen as the possible 2nd keeper over Reggie Bush. It's definitely a high risk/high reward type deal, but Allen proved himself as a rookie to be one of the best receivers in fantasy and he can only get better. Bush is always tantalizing due to the offense he's in. There's also a chance Drew takes a shot at jumping in the draft at round 2, but I'm gonna safely guess he'll chose from those two as to who he'll keep as 2nd keeper.

Ryan (Hoosier Daddy)

QB-Cam Newton

RB-Eddie Lacy, Steven Ridley, Ben Tate, Michael Bush

WR-Larry Fitzgerald, Harry Douglas, Kenny Stills, Desean Jackson, Stevie Johnson, Donnie Avery

TE-Julius Thomas, Delanie Walker, Joel Dreessen

Potential Keepers-Eddie Lacy, Julius Thomas, Larry Fitzgerald

For being the 11th best team, Ryan has some great options to keep. Lacy should be a no brainer, he had an amazing rookie season and that was with defenses focused on stopping him because of Aaron Rodgers' injury. Julius Thomas came out of nowhere to become a top 3 tight end in a position that after the top 3 becomes really murky. Fitzgerald is still producing at an elite level as well. I can't see Ryan jumping back into the draft, but if he thinks either are too risky he might. My money is on Eddie Lacy and one of the other two guys.

Albert (Channel 4 News Team)

QB-Peyton Manning, Terrelle Pryor

RB-Alfred Morris, Le'Veon Bell, Doug Martin, DeAngelo Williams, Frank Gore

WR-A.J. Green, T.Y. Hilton, Dwayne Bowe, Tavon Austin, Mario Manningham, Mike Wallace

TE-Brandon Pettigrew, Scott Chandler

Potential Keepers: Peyton Manning, Alfred Morris, Le'Veon Bell, Doug Martin, A.J. Green, Frank Gore

This is the most interesting of the teams because you can seriously make a case for 6 guys to be keepers (though Frank Gore is admittedly a reach, he is slated to still be the main RB for the 49ers). Albert shrewdly picked up Doug Martin to stash and ponder as a possible keeper. It really depends on Albert's philosophy and strategy. If he's a running back heavy guy, two of Morris, Bell, Martin might do the trick. If he values QB, Peyton is right there, if he thinks he can a good QB in later rounds, he'll let him go. I'd have to guess that A.J. Green would be the certain lock..but even he might be expendable in this group of guys if he values other positions over wide receiver. All I know, is Albert will be releasing some interesting talent, and knowing this, might make teams think about taking a gamble and jumping in the 2nd round if they don't have great options.
