MJD - dropped for Benny Cunningham
Heard MJD didn't have much juice left. Then he got hurt.
Forsett - picked up when I thought he might be the starter
Grades out highly at PFF but is smallish and probably won't ever be "the guy." Split snaps with "Talapia" last week though Talapia got more carries.
Gerhart - just traded him and a couple of older players for a 2015 2nd.
Gerhart was going to be a volume back with pretty decent value this year but between his sprained ankle, bad OL, awful Henne, and no experienced WR's his value tumbled. Robinson getting carries now too. Plus they like Storm Johnson as a developmental guy coming off injury.
Latavius Murray - hoping he gets a shot in 2015
Lot of people liked him pre-injury and the guys in front of him are glass.
Christine Michael - have no choice but to hold him for 2015...though I'm starting to get discouraged since he is a healthy scratch every week
Frustrating. Hard to see value in 2014. STill, talented.
Benny Cunningham - dropped MJD for him in hopes he might at least get some 3rd down, hurry-up play. Hoping he gets more opps in 2015
Liked him to force a RBBC with Stacy but there's not much production to go around. Still, Rams are run blocking well.
J-Stew - was hoping he got his chance this year, but he's just obviously not very good any more. I'm hoping to trade him for a late pick but will probably end up dropping him.
PFF liked what he was doing although he wasn't showing much for YPC. Oline abysmal and Cam's not running which hurts offense. Benjamin and Olsen really only dangerous targets. AND, another injury. Plus, most likely permanent RBBC.
My taxi squad contains:
Silas Redd - just holding him in case he gets some play in 2015 due to an ALF injury. Not sure if he has any ability.
Damien Williams - hoping for some play in 2015
Lorenzo Taliferro - not gonna move him to my active roster until he starts getting more consistent play. But he may be my best option in 2015 if I can't make some moves.
Talapia got good run Week 4.
Also gonna put in a waiver bid on some of the previously mentioned guys today.
I'm obviously hoarding all the rookie backup RBs which isn't a very good strategy. Especially in leagues where we need to assign years and you get cap hits if you cut players (with multiple years). So I'm in quite the bind.
I have the benefit of a long bench though, trying to figure out who to cut/keep for short benches is pretty ugly this year unless you have the ability to see in to the future. We've seen more talented players ride the pine and you can't trust a word that comes out of a coaches mouth. Good luck with that.
