    Is Mikel LeShoure Worth Stashing?

    After tomorrow's game, Lashoure's two game suspension will be over. Just read an article that said the Lions expect to give the ball to Lashoure "early and often" when he returns.

    Kevin Smith is far from a great RB, and he has always been injury prone. Just realized that he is unowned in my league. I know the Lions are a pass heavy team, but he seems like a complete back who could do some damage down the road. And from what it sounds like, he could start doing damage sooner than later.

    I think I know the answer to this question, but I just want to hear what other people think of him.

    I don't think so. He will split time with Kevin Smith, and like you said, they are a very pass heavy team.

    Definitely, Kevin Smith sucks and gets hurt often.

    dont trade him for crap
    drop him only for a free agent that you will need to start

    week 3-6 Detroit plays
    Titans
    Vikings
    Eagles
    Bears
    week #7 Jahvid Best comes back(maybe)

    I've got him stashed because I got a good enough team w/o worrying about changing it
    but if I got an opportunity to do significantly better, I'll do it

    I have a bench of guys I would hate to drop for anyone right now. But no one that would start for me right now. Kinda sucks. I will be in a pickle come week 7, when I need a QB and TE.

    Who should I drop for LeShoure:

    Boldin
    Blackmon
    Felix Jones (handcuff to my DeMarco Murray)
    Schaub (backup QB)

    Felix Jones is worthless other than being a handcuff to Murray. Peyton is my starter, and I'd hate to cut a quality QB like Schaub. I'm thinking Blackmon, I know he has the potential, but I'm more crazy about the Ravens uptempo style offense than the Jags offense.

    Drop Jones and take LeShoure, you probably don't want to start Jones even if Murray gets hurt.

    I'd take a chance and stash him away. Could pay some great dividends later on.

    Ha I picked him up last night only to drop him a few minutes ago to pick up Heath Miller because Gates is inactive.

    I hope the Lions work on the run game, and feed M.LeShoure. I am matched up against M.Stafford this week.

    jhack that is a great trade

    and i mean, yeah, leshoure will be a hot ticket item, but im not too sold just yet....he will be splitting carries with smith (who hasn't even been bad to start the season) and the lions will be feeding megatron more than anything...if you have the free spot to do it, i would, but i wouldnt start rearranging your team over mikel leshoure

    Really hoping LeShoure turns into something good. Already have DMC, DeMarco, Alfred, and Benson. Trying to get another RB in the mix so I can finally make some moves on the trade market.

    Wow, I didn't expect to see LeShoure get 26 carries on his first game! 100 yards with a TD, I like it. Didn't start him, but he'll make for some good trade bait. I'm slowly becoming stacked at the RB position: DeMarco, DMC, Alfred Morris, Ced Benson, and LeShoure.

    looked really good
    hits the hole fast
    can do a little dance to get the extra yard or two
    should help the Lions to become 2 dimensional
    26 carries for 100 yards is a very good sign of things to come

    They forgot that Smith even existed, he was sent straight to the bench.

    I wish I stashed him when he was a free agent. I doubt I'll get him on waivers but I did put in a claim to drop Donald Brown for him.

    Yeah, crazy he didn't even get a touch. I figured it would be a 50/50 split. Guess not.

    Contemplating starting him next week over Alfred Morris or Ced Benson. Fawk, my team just got really deep, which is good and bad. Bad because I'll have a headache choosing who to start, but good because I have depth and can possibly make a trade.
