2011 QFL Keeper Projections

QSN ran an early keeper simulation for QFL1’s 2011 season using KeeperCommish and projected some surprises. According to the analysis provided there will be some big name free agents, minimal use of restricted free agent tags and some teams with a lot of salary cap to work with at the Thirteenth Annual Auction in DC.

Turner & Jones-Drew will be available

QUnet was projected to drop, or at least Franchise, Michael Turner (currently $27 L8), and BQP is assumed to have no choice but to drop Jones-Drew ($22 L2), rather than pay him 25% and lose beloved Shonn Greene and Matt Ryan (whose combined salaries are increasing $12).

All-In Eagles Ted Has $60 To Spend

Not including rookie draft picks one can only find 7 keepers (almost all Eagles) and a QFLE guy, Celek, on Ted’s roster. The upside is that leaves $62 to use chasing more eagles players at the Auction. BQP, QUnet and HePQ each have about $40 to spend according to the new free salary cap analysis provided by KeeperCommish while FahQ, QU, FRNQ and OrigQ will have between $25-30 left. SOQ, TenQ, QTang and QBC are pretty much not going to be involved.

Ten Projected Transition Tags, One Possible Franchise

At this very early stage of the long, long off-season that might get really, really long if there is a lockout (we’ll know for sure in a month) it looks like only Michael Turner stands out as a franchise tag decision for QUnet. Then there are about 10 transition tags with a handful of A-listers.

Projected Transition tags:

Tom Brady L4
Philip Rivers L4
Frank Gore L4
DeSean Jackson L4
Cedric Benson L4
Ahmad Bradshaw L4
Vincent Jackson L4
Michael Bush L4
New York Jets L4
Miami Dolphins L4

Better Keeper Value?: Vick $1 L2 – Q or Arian Foster $2 L3

Better QFLE Keeper?: James Starks or James Jones
