I am in a quandary in several of the keeper leagues I play in. I those leagues (16 and 20 team) I can choose 2 and 4 keepers from last year. However, there is no designation which have to be IDP and which OFF - just a total 2 or 4.

Honestly, I am leaning towards not selecting any. I have some great IDPs (Reshad Jones, Chandler Jones, Ansah, Sean Lee, Harrison Smith just to name a few), but my problem is that I don't have any OFF players that are in the top 35 on most cheat sheets. My best two are Jordan Reed and Rothlisberger.

If I make some of those very good IDPs my keepers then I will start out in the 3rd or 5th round behind the 8ball on OFF. Scoring-wise like most leagues the OFF players tend to have more scoring setting in their favor than IDP.

So, what to do? Pick IDPs as keepers, pick Reed and/or Rothlisberger, or just skip the keepers and do a whole new draft?

Finally, I have to thank the Guru for his outstanding Draft Kit again this year. It is SOOOO worth the $5.99. As I said, I enjoy playing in the IDP leagues with huge rosters (up to 40 players) and many teams (16-20). What his draft listings enable me to do is pick almost exclusively OFF players (including Bench) before drafting any IDP players. I know the way the draft lists are set up (NFL.com) that rookies and guys that were injured last year will be almost off the board with their ranked number and no one will pick them. So, I just scoop up these recommended rookies, previously injured players and sleepers while other guys are getting the dregs while on AUTOPICK or just picking not very good players.

One request: Guru could you please update your rookie list? I think a lot of drafts are coming up (I have two this weekend) and there are players on your list (Bosa, Rankins, Lawson, etc.) that need to have their rankings re-evaluated due to injury, salary dispute, etc.  Thanks a lot and thanks for your draft kit again this year.
