Are you kidding me? You are in a keeper league. Markov is a zillion years old, is near the end of his career, and has major injury concerns.

Big Buff is a top 3-5 fantasy dman, multi-cat stud, and entering the prime of his career.

You shouldn't be making knee jerk reactions, remember that you are in a keeper league and need to consider long term impact of your moves.

Buff >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Markov in a keeper

Markov at best is on par with Byf but has a ton of downside.

In any league I side with Buf, don't think Markov, while a good scorer, can keep this output up. Don't make a knee jerk reaction you'll regret.
