Need Fantasy Football Advice
So, I have my draft coming up on Wed. I am in a keeper league that allows us to keep 3 players. Scoring is pretty basic. No points for carries, passes over certain yards, completions/incompletions, etc.
TD's are 6 pts across the board with yardage being 8 yards/pt for running/receiving and 20 pts for passing.
So, now that I have given some basic info, these are the four that I have and am contemplating keeping.
Donovan McNabb
Clinton Portis
Kevin Jones
Stephen Jackson
We are definitely RB heavy which makes me think to keep the three RB's, but McNabb (and which was shown in preseason on Fri) has T.O. and an arm. I am just really stuck on whom to keep.
Oh yeah, I play with good players so possible "sleeper" backs like McGahee (who really is not a sleeper anyway) are already spoken for.

The entire McNabb/TO thing can get really ugly, fast.
With T.O. being himself, I can see a mild injury, like a high thigh bruise, keeping him out for a week. T.O. is showing the entire world he can play ... but when it counts, don't expect him to give 100%.

Stephen Jackson is setup to be a stud. He's going to be the work horse in STL with the phasing out of Faulk.
Kevin Jones will be a major factor when Harrington gets benched and Garcia takes over. With an accurate passing game, the run opens up.
If I had to ditch any of the RB's, my money is on Clinton Portis. Washington looks like garbage this year.

I won't ditch Portis. First, if I ditched him there would be nobody else proven to grab to replace him. Second, the offensive line is back up in Washington with Jon Jansen back and Casey Rabach at Center. Gibbs has changed the blocking schemes to help Portis out plus he bulked up about 15 lbs to help him take the hits a bit better. I think that he is poised for a comeback this year.
