Why? I would have done a straight swap with Prater. You may not get Rodgers back now, the secret is out.

I dropped M.Prater for Quizz earlier, to play out the R.Jennings thing. Since MJD still hasn't reported, I think R.Jennings is more valuable at this point. So I had to drop someone to get a kicker again. I think Quizz was the weakest on my roster, with M.Tuner still being the featured back. It was between D.Amendola, Quizz and R.Jennings. Quizz was first man out. That is what sucks about having a strong bench. You have to pick someone to drop, that you really don't want to.

The only reason D.Bailey was available, is because the owner hates the Cowboys. So I got me a potential top 5 kicker, because of his heart.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

yeah in one of my leagues, i have jacquizz rodgers and david wilson. i need to drop one of them to pick up a kicker. would it be crazy to drop wilson instead of rodgers? honestly, i doubt wilson will be getting that much playing time as long as bradshaw's healthy. then again, i guess you can say the same thing about rodgers.

D.Wilson looks just to good to drop, he shredded the Bears first team defense. Plus A.Bradshaw is a walking injury. I think A.Bradshaw goes down before M.Turner, and that is the only way either of them become the featured back. I'll take my chances with D.Wilson over Quizz.

I could be wrong, but it is a guessing game with the back-ups.

[LT Profits]

Difference is Rodgers will get playing time even NOW with Turner starting.

[soonerstud7804]

I got reggie bush,gore, and bradshaw. Not too excited but bush did payoff for me last year. Was wondering of the 3 who will have the most carries and better year. And in wr sleep's i got quick from st.louis and k wright from tenn. Do you see anyone of these guys being wr#2 by t he end of the season....should i pkg 2 of those backs for one good one????if so who?

Is it a PPR league? If so, Bush is good. If not, he is not and you are in trouble because your other 2 RBs are injury prone. I think Bradshaw is the best of the three (again barring injury) in Traditional. And I LOVE Kendall Wright, could be the #2 right now. He will start Week 1 and it's between him and Nate Washington when Britt comes back, but Wright should play a lot regardless.

Possibly true, but D.Wilson could possibly split carries with A.Bradshaw too. To try and keep A.Bradshaw healthy.

Neither one is a better start then some of the others I have on the bench, and think D.Wilson has a better shot at being a starter later in the season.

Trust me, I didn't want to drop Quizz, but had too.

Out of these players, who would you drop?

Cedric Benson
David Wilson
Rashad Jennings
Ben Tate
Titus Young
Danny Amendola
Jacquizz Rogers

Easy call for me, Amendola (without knowing off hand the bye situation between Titus and your starting WRs)

I need WR depth too. Plus D.Amendola is a returner, and return yards have been added to our scoring. Not to mention the Rams #1 WR. He is a poor mans W.Welker. I can't have a bench full of RB's.

Some others will need to be expendable later in the season, for QB/TE BYE's. Week 7 will be a interesting one for me.

I've been thinking of trading R.Jennings for a TE, possibly B.Pettigrew. The MJD owner has him. But I will try a trade with him again before week 2. Since I face him week 1. I just hope MJD is still holding out, so R.Jennings value will still be higher then usual.

Thanks for all your opinions LT, and keep them coming.

Another bump in value for David Wilson.

Giants waive 3rd down/goal line back D.J. Ware.

D.J. Ware - RB - Giants

Giants released RB D.J. Ware.

Ware, a strong pass protector but poor runner, had been in the mix for both third-down and goal-line work. In 16 games last season, he rushed 46 times for 163 yards and added 27 catches for 170 yards. Ware's release opens up a handful more receiving opportunities for both starter Ahmad Bradshaw and impressive first-round rookie David Wilson. Andre Brown and special teamer Da'Rel Scott round out the depth chart.

Easy call for me, Amendola (without knowing off hand the bye situation between Titus and your starting WRs)

no way in ppr.

[LT Profits]

no way in ppr.

He would never start unless someone gets injured. Me I have no problem keeping a bench full of running backs, provided I have 1 backup st WR/QB/TE. Onlooker is different in that he has no QB/TE.

[GamblerSpirit]

Everybody is so high on J.Rodgers, it's a joke. I got Mike Turner in the third round, and I'm laughing (hopefully) all the way to the bank. No PPR, so maybe that's why I don't care as much.

Third round is too high for a potential bust like Turner. I have him ranked in the 50s overall, so that's sixth round in 10-team, fifth-round in a 12-team league.

[onlooker]

Onlooker is different in that he has no QB/TE.

Come week 7, I'm thinking C.Ponder and K.Rudolph for my QB and TE. That would give me C.Ponder, P.Harvin and K.Rudolph in week 7.

If a possible trade for B.Pettigrew doesn't happen with R.Jennings.

[onlooker]

This trade was proposed to me last night:

A.Hernandez or A.Gates for A.Johnson.


Not sure if I want to do it. A.Johnson, if healthy will be a top 5 WR. There is just the injury concern. It's like trading a #2 pick for a #4 or #5 pick. My TE is T.Gonzales and should still see a lot of targets, and in the red zone, when teams are paying extra attention to J.Jones and R.White.

Thoughts?

Easy decision to reject the offer. Limited upside if any to the trade. The smallish upgrade from Hernandez/Gates over Gonzalez does not offset the hit from having Johnson to having to start Benson/Young/Amendola in his place.

Pass. Like you said, Johnson is a 2nd or 3rd round pick. You're not getting a significant upgrade over the TE you currently have. The only two TEs worth the same as Johnson are Graham and Gronk.

Yeah. I was leaning on rejecting it. Thinking the same thing, only Graham and Gronk are worth A.Johnson. I just wanted to hear a couple others say the same thing I was thinking.

Thanks for your input guys.

[dudekid]

just food for thought, according to phillip rivers "gates is moving like he did 5 years ago" and he is one of the best TE in the league when healthy...andre J is great when healthy but SO FRUSTRATING to own...ive had him on a few teams and it really sucks waiting practically every week till the last minute to start or sit him....hes a big injury risk and on the wrong side of 30...then again so is gates haha so thats a tough call, but yeah since you have gonz i guess you can pass, i just like cedric benson as a flex but maybe thats just me

Still think that.

[onlooker]

It sucks that D.Wilson fumbled in Week 1, because it really killed his fantasy value. I had to give up on him at this point, because of A.Brown. So I decided to pick up my QB BYE fill-in, and I don't think C.Ponder would be sitting out there much longer.

I was surprised A.Green was available when Waivers cleared. J.Starks was picked up over him.
