Fantasy Football Keeper Selection Help?

I need to pick 5 keepers from the following roster, I'm pretty much set on Rodgers, V.Jax, Gore, Tony Gonzalez so far.

I'm debating one more keeper from the following: Josh Cribbs (my league counts return yards), NYJ defense, Terrell Owens, Darren Sproles, Austin Collie.

Who should I take from the list of players I'm considering, anyone else that is interesting and do you agree or disagree with the current four as keepers?

My team

Austin Collie (Ind – WR)

Joshua Cribbs (Cle - WR)

Joe Flacco (Bal - QB)

Tony Gonzalez (Atl - TE)

Frank Gore (SF - RB)

Devin Hester (Chi - WR)

Fred Jackson (Buf - RB)

Vincent Jackson (SD - WR)

Terrell Owens (Cin - WR)

Clinton Portis (Was – RB

Aaron Rodgers (GB - QB)

Steve Slaton (Hou - RB)

Jason Snelling (Atl – RB)

Darren Sproles (SD - RB)

Carnell Williams (TB – RB)

Ryan Longwell (Min - K)

New York (NYJ - DEF)

San Francisco (SF - DEF)

Karlos Dansby (Mia - LB)

Julius Peppers (Chi - DE)

D.J. Williams (Den - LB)

    I'm not so sure about Vincent Jackson hes already suspended for the first three games of the season and he may not even play this season at all. Chargers are not wanting to restructure his contract so he could possibly sit until week 10 play the last six games and then hope he gets traded.

    With the Antonio Bryant still hurt TO clearly becomes a solid No.2 WR and might even reach the 70 catch mark and close to 1,000 yards. After their first preseason game it was obvious that Carson Palmer liked looking TO's way!

    Darren Sproles is great flex player RB/WR although hes too small to be an every down back he will get his touches both rushing and recieving with a young Ryan Matthews, not too mention his return capabilites. Id say 450 yds rushing and 500+ recieving.

    With being said I'd probably go with the TO, Darren Sproles, Gore, Tony Gonzalez, & Rodgers.

    You have to take Cribbs here. He scored like a WR1 in return leagues last season.

    The one I disagree with is Tony Gonzales. The only TE's I'd ever consider keeping are Dallas Clark and maybe Vernon Davis. The rest are just too closely lumped together, and Gonzo's just midpack. You can replace him at the end of your draft with someone who could easily outscore him - very deep TE class this year, and there's always a few that come out of nowhere. Last year it was Celek and Fred Davis of the Skins. Both were ranked well below Gonzo and easily outperformed him (Davis played after Cooley went down).

    Believe it or not, the highest ranked person on your list is Clinton Portis, (around 55 overall) who's been rising lately after Shanny announced he's the starter in DC and he's looking lean 'n mean. If not that, I'd actually consider keeping Flacco for trade bait, or else Sproles for the return yard factor if he's still doing this.

    Depends on the return yards, but I think Cribbs could be the man here.

    Never keep a D/ST
