Who Would You Drop? ~~WHIR~~ (1 Viewer)

Here's my team right now:

QB: Dak, Brady

RB: Bell, McKinnon, MJones, DwWash, JHoward, DHenry (had to drop ADP)

WR: Evans, Benjamin, DT, Watkins, Gordon

TE: Pitta, Hunter Henry

D/ST: KC

K: none

Standard scoring, non-ppr

Last night, I dropped my kicker for Jordan Howard and, this morning, I realized someone dropped Eifert.  I'm obviously weak at TE so I desperately want Eifert.  What I'll do is drop Hunter Henry for him (if he makes it to the last WW position)... but I'm still without a kicker so, before Sunday, I'll have to drop someone else to pickup a kicker. 

So... who would you drop? Leave a link and WHIR...

ETA: Dropped Hunter Henry for EIFERT!

I do like DHenry as a stash option but he brings the least value here and you would still have a chance of getting him back later. Drop him.

disagree, henry has RB1 potential if murray gets hurt.  Dwyne washington right now is not a startable commodity.  I'd drop washington.

But isn't DWash already in a position to earn that RB1 potential? Whereas Henry is like a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?

 
UPDATE: I was able to get Eifert! Holy ####. So now I really do have to drop one of these guys... or propose a trade, I guess...

 
It's between Henry & Washington for me. I lean towards keeping Washington and dropping Henry for now.
What if I try trading Henry to the Murray owner? Only prob with that is that it doesn't free up my bench space...

I could trade Henry + Watkins (since he hasn't proven he can even play this year) for one of these:

Dez

KBenjamin

Crowell

Coleman

Olsen

Gronk

unless theo riddick gets hurt you have a TD dependant RB who will get around 10-12 carries each week with minimal passing game chances.... whereas henry you have the potential to a get a 20 touch RB who appears to be a high quality talent

Think Henry + Watkins is fair for Gronk?

 
Wow, I'm not sure. If you would've done it a week or two ago, I would've said yes but with Gronk getting healthy and Brady coming back next week, that is going to be a tougher sell. You could try it but I would throw in Eifert and discuss his scheduled return next week.

So Henry + Eifert or also Watkins? And just Gronk or add another player to that?

 
Your biggest issue is outside of Bell you have some RB with potential but they are what I would call junk starters.  I would try to bundle them up in some deals for an upgrade somewhere.  You could also afford to now move Pitta on Hunter Henry in a bundle deal for a TE needy team.  You have some obstacles in having to wait for Brady (can't drop Dak yet) and waiting for Gordon.  I think your lest valuable pieces are your junk starter RB.

 
Bout to do it. ####, I hate trading but also love it. 

Henry + Eifert for Gronk? 

Yes/No

 
UPDATE: Guy declined the trade and didn't come back with a counter-offer.  Guess he doesn't want Henry?

 
I would drop Watkins.  Sounds crazy but he is not going to be healthy all season and there is no telling when he is going to be.  I was listening to a podcast recently (may have been FootballGuys, I can't recall) and dropping Watkins was a topic discussed.  If you are rather confident that Watkins will not contribute to your team this season (which I agree with) then dropping him will create a HUGE faab war among the other owners (assuming you use faab).  It's a win-win for you bc you get the guy that you want off of waivers and you send a guy to waivers that is going to make someone in your league go faab broke and tie up one of their roster spots.
