I have to decide on my keeper's (up to 4) for my 12-team auction league. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 D/ST and 1 K. Players cost $10 more than they did last season. Total budget is $200. I can keep the following players at the following prices:

QB: Freeman ($10)
QB: Cutler ($19)
RB: F Gore ($58)
RB: F Jackson ($19)
RB: B Wells ($39)
WR: M Williams - TB ($12)
WR: S Rice ($17)
WR: D Bowe ($28)
WR: B Marshall ($45)

I think the only great value I'm getting is Mike Williams for $12. The other reasonable prices are Freeman, Rice, and Bowe. Freeman is at the bottom of the starting QB ranks (i.e. top 12). Bowe is at the bottom of the #1 WR ranks (i.e. top 12). I could go with Freeman, Bowe, and Williams and save my money for 2 high-quality RBs.

What would you do in my situation? Thanks for any help!

You think you can get Fred Jackson cheaper? I'd keep him at 4 or go with 3 keepers. Rice doesn't seem good at that price. You could just keep bowe and Williams and have the most money for your draft!

But definitely keep Bowe? It would essentially prevent me from going after the big-$ WRs. Fitz, Nicks, Wallace, and Calvin will probably all be kept, so maybe it's best to stay out of the bidding war for the rest of them.

I think I'll be able to get Jackson back between $10 and $15.

40 dollars on your two wide receivers. 100 on a couple rb. 20-30 on a qb. Plenty left to fill your roster on fliers.

I'd definitely hold onto Mike Williams, Freeman, and Bowe. Having 2 WR's already means you won't need to toss big $ at one during the draft. FJax is a judgement call but I'd lean towards keeping him as well. $131 headed into the draft means spending for a top-flight QB ($30), one top RB ($50), one 2nd tier RB ($35), and then some late game fliers.
