Fantasy Football Problems

It's August, so why not kick off the month with my first fantasy football related blog post? This might not go over so well, as it will seem like I'm bragging a bit (which it totally unintentional, I swear) but I truly do need some input from other people. So just bear with me.

Let me start by saying this, my name is David and I love and am addicted to fantasy football. I first played fantasy football back in the 02/03 season and I've only not had a team once since then. Recently I've been pretty successful with my teams. I've won a league 4 years in a row, and 2 years ago I not only won my league but I also won the Survival league I was in. Again, I'm not trying to brag. I do a lot of research before the draft and during the season. Free agents and trades are where seasons are won and lost. Yes the draft is important, but it's incredibly rare for the team you draft to be your team at even the halfway point of the season. See, I told you I was addicted.

So last year I ended up with a pretty good team. By pretty good, I mean it was rather ridiculous. A quick rundown. QBs-Brees, Vick, and Romo. RBs-Lynch, Spiller, Foster, Murray. WRs-Cruz, Welker, Colston, Wallace. TEs-Graham, Gonzalez. D/ST-Ravens, Bengals. K-Bailey. I had Janikowski at one point but used him in a trade, which was him and 2 other players that I don't recall for Brees. As you can see, my team had very few, if any holes. I had a great draft, even being in the last slot, and I picked up some good free agents and that trade I mentioned.

Here's my problem. This is a keeper league. I don't normally play in keeper leagues. I can only choose one player to keep on my roster. I'm torn between Brees, Foster, and Graham. I can pretty easily talk myself out of Graham, but he's worth mentioning. He was the number 2 TE last year and I'm a big believer in having a worthwhile TE, they'll win you games. I'm worried that Brees, and his MASSIVE contract, are going to have an off year. The Saints have so much drama around them, I just don't know if I trust the guy and their interim coach. With Foster, there have been reports that he has become of vegan. Now, nothing against anyone who chooses to be a vegan, but it doesn't seem like the greatest idea for a football player let alone a running back.   I know it sounds dumb, but he's already been injured a few times, and this makes me think he could miss some significant time this year

So what would you do? I've already looked over all the rankings from different sites, and ESPN actually has Foster as the number 1 overall keeper and Brees as 13th on their list. But I'm still not convinced. I should point out that our league is not a PPR league, but all touchdowns are worth 6 points, even passing touchdowns. Other than that the rules are pretty standard. So leave a comment or hit me up on Twitter or Facebook and let me know what you think, who should be my keeper this year?
