This is a 10-team Dynasty IDP league draft. Maximum keeper value is the name of the game in this league. Keepers start Round 5 or later. A players keeper value goes up one round every season. I went RB heavy to start the draft since I didn’t keep a RB. I had the 7th pick in each round of the draft. The superflex roster spot allows for 2 QB lineups. Here’s a breakdown of the picks and keepers.
RB Josh Jacobs Raiders
RB David Montgomery Bears
RB Cam Akers Rams
RB Zack Moss Bills
QB Kyler Murray Cardinals Keeper
WR Jalen Reagor Eagles
WR DJ Moore Panthers Keeper

RB was the glaring weakness on this roster so I went four in a row. Keeper options of Damien Harris, Ryquell Armstead, Anthony McFarland, and Rashaad Penny leave a lot to be desired. I was reaching for any RB I thought had value at those stages of the draft. This has become a tougher league to snag keepers as new league members have risen the overall collective league IQ. Finding those late round keepers is tougher than ever before.
My WR keeper and QB’s options are the strong point of this roster. This is the last season I can keep Kyler Murray, while I can own Daniel Jones and Carson Wentz for multiple seasons. DJ Moore and Courtland Sutton are a good starting point while Reagor and Johnson provide me with other high upside options. Sadly, Reagor can only be kept for next season then has to go back into the player pool. I do own Reagor in a few leagues and believe he emerges as Wentz to WR threat. Campbell is one of my late round WR lottery tickets. I also own him in multiple leagues. Andrews is a great keeper while I’m hoping Asiasi can emerge as a threat in the Patriots offense. Logan Thomas at that stage of the draft is worth the gamble. Washington signed him to a 2-year deal and there’s very little competition for playing time. The IDP’s fit into my mindset of grabbing younger players with upside. My oldest IDP drafted is Khalil Mack at 29, which was a homer pick at that point. Every other IDP is 26 years-old or younger. Football’s a violent sport and a young man’s game. The age bracket of my collective roster shows such. I’m happy with the draft, but this team will struggle if the young RB’s drafted at the top don’t emerge.
