Fantasy Football is Here and My Keeper Team is Ready
Injuries wiped me out last year.
I play in two fantasy football leagues. The one this article talks about is a keeper league. Each team has four keepers from last year, including one rookie. The league is a PPR league and uses one QB.
My keepers are Austin Eckler, Terry McLaurin, Darren, and Darnell Mooney.
Things would be even better if Cam Ackers hadn’t blown out his Achilles. Based on previous experience, I wanted to load up on running backs. Since we had four keepers, we basically started our draft at round five. I had the second pick.
The league has contracted from 14 to 12 teams. The contracted teams had some excellent players go into the draft. Stefan Diggs was the headliner. He was the first guy drafted. I took Najee Harris with the second pick.
Here’s my team:
QB: Justin Herber
RB: Austin Eckler
RB: Najee Harris
WR: Darnell Mooney
WR: Terry McLaurin
TE: Darren Waller
Flex: Robert Woods
Flex: DeVonta Smith
