I haven't looked at anything relating to FF yet this year, but I'm assuming some of you have. I can keep two guys from my team last year and here they are with the round I'd have to surrender to do so:
Ty Montgomery, RB (GB) - Round 10
Stephon Diggs, WR (MIN) - Round 13
Its a PPR league (1/2 PPR actually)
Not top flight players but I have no idea what their ADP's are in FF this year.
Thanks. Feel free to ask anything FF related and turn this thread into a FF free for all.
Second, Green Bay's offense is vastly superior to Minnesota's. The more the offense is successful and on the field, the more scoring opportunities for the players in that offense.
Third, Ty Montgomery is a big threat in the passing game, meaning more points in a PPR league. I think he has really good value in standard scoring, but PPR, he's at worst a very high-end #2 if not RB1. Do not be afraid of the presence of Jamaal Williams. Williams will probably carve out a role, but Montgomery will get plenty of work even if he does.
Montgomery all the way.

I'm going to need you to define "high-end RB" and ask you what your stat expectations are for Montgomery this year.
Read his opening post again. He does not have to choose between these two guys. He can keep them both and give up the rounds he referenced. He should most likely keep both. That being said, if the league allows the trading of draft picks, I would try to work a deal with someone who likes one of those guys for a higher pick.

Montgomery is reportedly likely to lose carries to 4th round pick Jamaal Williams as the season progresses. Nice handcuff option if you do keep Ty. Not sure where, if at all, Williams is being drafted, but he's on my target list. Especially in keeper leagues.

Ty is 50 in standard/44 in PPR and Diggs is 68/56

good catch... but we can turn this into a discussion on Montgomery anyway. Personally I think he's being WAY overdrafted.
Sure, there's not a lot of competition in the backfield as of right now -- things change. And Dexter McCluster didnt have much competition in KC 6 years ago either, just a 33 year old worn down Thomas Jones.

First, RB, specifically high-end RBs, are more scarce than WRs. Ty Montgomery is the lead back in that backfield.

Agreed. I'll be looking to take a flyer on Williams later in drafts.
Dougie is a known commodity but if Perkins ends up taking the bulk of or carries and producing, it's a great keeper.
I lean toward Dougie especially given giants bias
