I know I got a while but its a tough one for me. My league has a two player keeper option. Some teams only keep 1 and go into a round all alone before the draft really starts. Basically since I AM keeping 2 my first pick will be 25th overall at best. S0 anywhere from 24-36 players will be off the board when I pick in the 1st(actualy 3rd).  In this league you can start 2rb/3wr or 3rb/2wr,the latter being what I prefer(good rb's are gold).

Question: Who do I keep Randy Moss or Marshawn Lynch???

I am definately already keeping Brian Westbrook, so I do I come in with 2 damn good rbs or a stud rb and probably the best WR in fantasy(I believe his #'s will go down a bit tho)and hope I can land another RB(or 2) with my first few picks??

I would keep Lynch. For the simple fact that he is the very few RBs that get all of the carries on the team.  Most teams now a days go with a Runnning Back By Committee (RBBC).  That to me is more vailable than a WR (even though he is top 3).  Remember Randy towards the end of the yr took days off, do you want that to happen again come Fantasy Football playoff time?  I hope that helped.

I agree with Brute_Force.

Even though it is possbile that Lynch could lose a few touches since the trendy thing to do is go to a RBBC, he will get the majority of the touches and the offense might be better now that they potentially have a better #2 WR to help help the passing game and take the pressure off of the running game. Not to mention that Moss may still be the best WR in fantasy next year, but I think it will be a lot closer than it was last year. It is easier to get the WR later on, although you may end up getting him with your first round pick anyways.

I'd have to go with Moss on this one.  I agree that a great RB is more valuable, but you already have Westbrook (although he's injury prone) and Moss is definitely a top # 3 WR in production.  I'm not sold on Lynch, even though I used him last year on one of my teams.

What pick will you be in the draft? That makes a big difference? I personally would have to keep Moss. After the #s he and Brady put up last year how can you let someone else use that against you? I have Brady in my Keeper league and I think him and Moss are going to have another steller year along with L Moroney getting more action. I hope my input helps you with your choices. Good Luck!

Although I think Randy Moss will put up bigger overall numbers than Marshawn Lynch, the RB position will always give you some points in fantasy.  Lynch will likely be a 'safe' bet for 100-140 total yds per game.  He'll also get you something like 8-12 TDs during the season.  Moss on the other hand will likely come up with some really big games (100+yds w/2TDs), and like last year some really low ones (30yds w/0TDs). 

Myself, I favor consistency, it makes fantasy life easier  - keep Lynch and go after the best remaining WRs in the draft.  Most people will be keeping stud RBs and QBs anyway so there will be some decent WRs left.  It is extremely doubtful you'd have that choice on a RB.

Keep Lynch for sure! Good RBs will be gold. Concentrate on the RBs and the decent WRs will still be there. It usually doesn't work the other way around.

I would keep lynch because hes in a run offense so he will get plenty of carries plus hes a stud.  Randy is amazing but im still not sure if he will  be that reliable with his past history.
