geniusofjohnson 0 Posted November 3 Currently 2-7 in my keeper league with little Hope of making the playoffs, let alone doing anything Should I get there. We have a separate rookie draft each year with the worst team getting the top pick, so at this point I am contemplating tanking to get Jeanty since I am a game out of last—should I try? Never actively tanked before but the rookie draft is new to the league and this guy looks amazing. Opinions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bills04 54 Posted November 3 Rookies can be a crap shoot. Is the team around them awful? Who is the OC? And, Head Coach? Unknown - other FA signings? I'd play out the stretch. ALSO - you'll likely REALLY piss off other teams vying for the last playoff spot. If they don't play against you in the remaining weeks, but another team in a similar situation does..

geniusofjohnson 0 Posted November 3 I would never just punt lineups during the season. But the truth is my team is not great, so it would simply be a matter of choosing players here and there that might have a matchup, etc. And you are right about rookies – they are obviously crapshoot – but in my league, I keep rookies for an extra year Compared to other players and if they hit, you’ve got a great starter at a low cost. The guy currently in last place is even worse than me so there’s probably almost no chance of me even being able to get the top spot in the rookie draft anyway, barring obvious . I guess I just wanted to know if I should go that direction or go all out to try to just make the playoffs and see if I can make some hay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da browns 10 Posted November 3 I wouldn't "tank" just for a chance at rookie draft. Play your best players, but no need to gamble to win. Or, you can be a spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
