Submit it to and have your question seen by millions of fantasy fans just like you! starting up a keeper league this year.. I pick 8th overall. I'd love to take luck. If he isn't there who do I target? Sonny (@SonnyV13) Marcas Grant: The key to building a good keeper team is to take younger players with upside that are also ready to produce right away. Certainly is one of those guys. The other name that jumps off the page at me is . We all saw what he did last season as a rookie in Cincinnati. This season, offensive coordinator Hue Jackson has Jim Plunkett Jersey  even higher expectations for the LSU product. He has easily supplanted as the top back and looks to have a bright future as the centerpiece of that offense. Plus with so few potential workhorse running backs (a number that dwindles every year), it makes sense to get one early.M.G.: No. Not at all. Don't do it. To be honest, I'm not sure that was worth a first-round pick even without Hillman hanging around. I'm honestly not convinced that Hillman will play a huge role once the regular season begins, but he has made enough of an impact this preseason that he could get a few extra snaps. However, Anderson is a low-end RB1 this season and I'd rather spend my first round pick on guys who will be at the higher end of the scale at their respective positions. I've said all offseason that I wouldn't hesistate to draft someone like , or if I was selecting somewhere in the back half of the first round. would you rather have Leveon and unknown or Demarco and Miller? Eric Schaeffer (@ericschaeffer73) M.G.: First off, there aren't too many unknowns anymore in . Once you start seeing tweets about , you know that hidden gems are nearly impo sible to come by. But more to your point, I'd rather go with and than to take a chance on and (all pardons to Adam Rank) some curtain-jerker. The reason is simple math. In most leagues, you have to start two running backs every week. Even though I'm down on Murray this year, I think he and Miller -- who I'm really high on -- can outscore and someone like on a weekly basis. It's a case of two very good players beating one elite and one mediocre. what you think of Lat. Murray? Tanner Colley (@Tanner_Colley2) M.G.: I like this season. Maybe not as much as I did at the end of last season, but he's still viable as a  Cliff Branch Jersey low-end RB2 although I think I'd like him better as a flex option. My big concern is that we haven't really seen what Murray can do over an extended period. Everyone remembers his big game against the last season when he rumbled for 112 yards and two touchdowns on just four carries (he also left that game with an injury). That game alone accounted for one-third of his fantasy production in 2014. The rest of his starts were pretty pedestrian. It looks like Murray is going to be the workhorse in Oakland this season, but there are some folks out there who can warn you about the dangers of . We're looking at you, . If Alshon is out wk 1 is Eddie Royal startable as a flex over Chris Ivory PPR? Fleur de Tee (@TwhodatB) M.G.: Right now, I'm staying away from all receivers. We know that is going to be out for an extended period -- po sibly the entire season. is "day-to-day" with his calf ailment, is struggling with a hamstring injury and even Royal has been held out of action with a hip i sue. already makes me nervous. I'm even more hesitant to take a wide receiver in that offense that is le s than 100 percent. Besides, I tend to lean toward running backs in flex situations. Even if they don't catch as many Josh Jacobs Jersey  pa ses, it's easier to get the ball in their hands on a consistent basis.  what are your thoughts on Brandon Marshall this year? He's slipping in a lot of my drafts, I still think he produces & be a steal Nabae Asfar (@NabaeAsfar) M.G.: I can't rate Marshall higher than a WR3 this season. If that's your standard for him, then you should be satisfied. If you're expecting more than that, then woe be unto you. Last season, injuries limited Marshall to 13 games. But when he was on the field, he averaged slightly fewer than five catches per game -- the lowest total since his rookie season. With under center for the time being, Marshall e sentially makes a lateral move in quarterback ability. His numbers might be slightly better than the 61/721/8 he posted last season, but his days as a WR1 are probably over. better flex start. Allen Robinson, a Browns back, Ryan Matthews? Jordan Chong (@JordanTChong) M.G.: The fact that you couldn't pick one back from that muddled backfield should answer the question that you're not going that direction. That makes it a tough call between and . I said earlier that I tend to lean toward running backs in my flex spot, but in this case I'd take the wide receiver. The reason is that Robinson has the makings of a No. 1 wideout in the offense. He is likely to see plenty  Darren Waller Jersey of targets from in Jacksonville's pa sing attack. While I do like Mathews' prospects -- and would use him as a flex in many circumstances -- he's still going to share opportunities with and , which will automatically limit his opportunities. ppr. Trade away Jordan Cameron and mccoy get Kyle Rudolph and eddie lacy? Do it or hold tight? william spano (@GMen4EvYaDig) M.G.: Do it. ! I'm really big on having a good year this season, but I don't think he'll be leaps and bounds ahead of . On the other hand, I expect to be far more productive than . Now come stories that McCoy might not be ready for the start of the regular season as he continues to deal with a lingering hamstring i sue. I'm not fully jumping off the Shady Train, but I am starting to at least look for the exit. If you stream defenses, would WSH opponent be a good one to target?  Matt Morris (@HazMatt23) M.G.: I would call the Washington offense a dumpster fire, but that would be an insult to dumpster fires. I'm not among those who believe that is somehow the answer to what ails the club. There's a reason he's been a backup all of this time. If anything, Cousins sort of backed into the starting gig. Since plenty of fantasy enthusiasts enjoy streaming defenses throughout the season, it's always a good idea to target one or two floundering offenses from week-to-week. This group is going to be one of them.M.G.: While I'm starting to come around on this preseason, I've been fighting to drive the hype train. Bradford has the chance to be a low end QB1, but Tannehill has an opportunity to crack the top five at his position. It's definitely a good idea to stash Foster for his return later in the season and since carrying two quarterbacks isn't really nece sary, I'd advise saying goodbye to the signal-caller.Bonus question: How many sleeple s nights have you had since putting Meatwad at No. 5 in your Aqua Teen Hunger Force character power rankings? Alex Gelhar (@AlexGelhar) M.G.: Just as many as Carl had when the .Marcas Grant is a fantasy editor for NFL.
