Anybody Cut Favre This Week? (1 Viewer)

[packersfan]

League format - Start-2 QBs and you only roster the two you start. You can replace QBs off the WW each week for bye weeks or matchups or injuries etc.

OK, so I cut Favre this week. I didn't want to do it. Felt I had to do it. Seriously, things look so bleak with him right now and I need the QB production and Favre - outside of a 20-minute or so stretch against the Jets - simply hasn't gotten it done all season. Trading for Moss hasn't helped any either. So after watching him fall short of expectations once again in Week 7 I dropped him this week for Henne (I lost out in the bidding for Fitzpatrick and Kitna). With Favre hurt, I couldn't take the chance that he would either disappoint again or start and not finish. So I went with a QB who has performed at a much higher level in my league's scoring so far this season. The crazy thing is I have Moss and Harvin so I need Favre (or Jackson) to do well.

The regret I have is he's Brett Favre and he's a future Hall of Famer who less than a year ago was playing like an MVP. Plus, the matchup this week is scary good against a terrible Patriots' pass defense. But after mulling it over I just felt like I couldn't take the incompletions, the low passing totals and the inability to throw more than one touchdown per game any longer.

I'm curious if anyone else has waved the White Flag with Favre and if so who did you drop him for this week and do you have any second doubts about whether you made the right decision.

In my 12 team, start 2 QB league, I will be cutting Favre (my #3 QB after Roethlisberger/Orton) for either Fitzpatrick or Kitna.

Dropped him for Matt Stafford in a start 1 QB league about an hour ago. The other QB on my roster is Matt Cassel.

Didn't want to do it. Thought I owed it to him. /smails.

...and that about sums it up. Rock, meet Bottom.

 

[bbuster]

Would probably have to do it if I had any choice, but in my start 2QB leagues, there isn't a SINGLE starting QB on the WW.

 

[Irish Chaos]

dropped for Kitna, although i love him...he just single-handedly TRIED to run my team into the ground. I wont let him, 14 team league 3-4 in 11th and 8 make the playoffs so im in the hunt still...

Dropped for Fitzpatrick.

Same here. I felt so shark-like picking him up off waivers when someone dropped him right before the Moss trade went through. Now I feel like a guppy for blowing my good waiver number.

Grabbed Fitz too... fewer starts and more points.. that was a no brainer... Farvre is the suck this year and will remain so--whether he plays or not.

In my 2 qb league I just cut Kolb to keep Favre as my #3 qb. Not sure I made the right decision. I keep meaning to cut him but the next group of qb's on the ww are Matt Moore...I keep hoping the old man will stop sucking. He almost had a good game last week, right?

 

[NeverEnough]

Dropped him for Gettis. Start 1 QB. Flacco is on bye so I am rolling with Kitna.

Yep, no regrets either. Thanks for the love, Sweet Love!

 

[Masked Vigilante]

I cut him for Fitzpatrick. Let's be honest at this point Favre is one of the ten worst starting QB's (both real and fantasy wise).

I'd rather have Moore than Favre right now. We are seeing the last gasps of a heroic career.

 

[BRONG]

He will light it up against Az next week, you watch.

I picked up Fitzpatrick but I kept Favre. I have the room for now, but unless Fitzpatrick gets hurt, I don't see Favre as a starter for my team. If a better "back-up" becomes available on the WW, I will drop Favre for him.

I guess there's still a slim (very slim) chance that he starts connecting with Moss/Harvin/Shianco and puts up some nice weeks down the stretch. But I've had enough of him for now.

 

[packersfan]

If Favre's fantasy value wasn't at rock bottom before it's there now. Favre hasn't been good this season but he was terrible without Moss.

 

[Flash]

He was cut in my league last week.

 

[packersfan]

He was cut in my league last week.

I imagine he'll get dropped in a lot more this week.

 

[Rusty Syringes]

I cut him a few weeks ago and picked up Fitzpatrick.

The funny thing is that someone who has Moss picked him up last week and then tried to trade him and Farve to me for Fitzpatrick and Blount.

I countered with the KC defense for Andre Johnson.

 

[sho nuff]

Dropped him earlier in the year when Orton was going off for me.

Still have not regretted it a bit.

In my 12 team, start 2 QB league, I will be cutting Favre (my #3 QB after Roethlisberger/Orton) for either Fitzpatrick or Kitna.

Funny thing is, I didn't even get Fitzpatrick or Kitna and I still ended up dropping Favre for LeGarrette Blount. Someone will undoubtedly pick up Favre this week, but it won't be me.
