MARC BULGER: Wow it looks bad, not his fault (1 Viewer)

[shakeybarn]

I have Bulger in two leagues. One I can stow him, for bye weeks/matchup/etc... the other I have some decisions to make, and pickups to make for the long haul.

5 offensive lineman... I know 2 are done.

SJax... I KNEW was primed for a letdown, but not an injury. Me thought D's would key in on him in the passing game and he would be "limited" to 60/600. I mean, after all, dude wasnt' running post routes....

Ike Bruce... after coming out of the gates with fire, is now cooled off, much less very injuried

Bennett ... never good as a starter.. always a frustrating #3 turned #2, even turned #1 in Tenn... remember that misery?

Banged up ribs.

You'd think STL would be getting blown out. CHECK. And just lofting the ball.. but the disaster of last week doesn't seem to state that case.

The "new" oline can jell a little, but even the Rams can realize who should be on the bench, and these guys were.

Half the fear of dropping someone is not only points you could miss out on, but someone grabbing him, and going off...

maybe wait until this week's report come out, circa your/our final pickup... and make the tempting Arizona call at home.. but thereafter.. at BAL and at SEA and BYE. props if someone can stow him. so many great matchups up.. but the above points kill the prospects.

good fantasy owners know when the horse latitudes come....

all circumstances... are different... but i'm curious who's given up on him and who's going to stick with him (until)?

I'll trade him for a pack of Juicy Fruit right now but otherwise I don't have much choice but to keep him on my Bench. I'd put Buckhalter on my roster but we have a fixed roster so to pick up someone on WW it would have to be another QB.

I submitted by accident.. wanted to finish that option with "wherever your NEED is, or whomever you were BIG on"

 

[NatronIsMean]

I'm stashing him due to a) the JUICY matchups later this year, b) the fact that they'll be down 21-0 often and have to throw, c) the weapons when SJax returns, and d) the hope that the line will gel and his ribs will heal.

d) seems shakiest, and we don't know when SJax will return or when Bulger's ribs will heal. I'm hoping that Linehan will SIT Bulger for a week or 2 (or 3) to let the ribs heal, then come back throwing like the madman we all knew and loved.

We'll see, but for now I just gotta hang on...

Stashing...

 

[Big Score]

Small rosters. Had to cut bait.

 

[Addai's Adidas]

Just picked him up in a 16 team league. Bid $5 on him. I won't bore you with the details of my bench and why I was forced to do it.

Well, I'm stashing him for now. I was lucky enough to land Romo with one of back2back2back picks on the 5th/6th round corner (I missed out on Romo's week 1 gem ).

But, I also believe he still has some trade value, at least in a package deal, for a team that might need a QB. Usually it's hard for me to trade QBs, but this year one team has Leinart and the Bears QBs and is not deep at WR. Another team has Rivers and alot of banged up WRs. Not very attractive. I'm trying to push a 3for1 package for a WR upgrade in a ppr.

 

[SteelCat]

STashing....hopefully, they'll let him heal and let Frerotte get killed for a few weeks.

 

[MDSkinner]

I just saw that he was dropped in one of my leagues.

I am considering trying to get him and stowing him (I have Kitna already in that league), but it is tough to waste a roster spot on the guy right now.

 

[Sid G]

Stowing. I only have two QBs on my roster currently, and the waiver wire options are unsavory.

 

[hankd]

dumped him...

 

[shakeybarn]

I hung on to him in both leagues... letting Derek Anderson get grabbed up, but I'm not bummed... just hopeful to not regret.

 

[DOVCommish]

You can't put the blame on Bulger and dumping him is short-sighted. He's banged up and the offensive line is a mess right now, but it's only week five. A month to get guys healed up, his sched's favorable and he'll have value. You just have the weather the storm right now is all.

Linehan announced this morning that Bulger has been benched for 1 or 2 games.

I've had Bulger as a keeper for several years. To be honest, I'm getting quite tired of him as my QB. Every year, seems like he has injuries or his offensive line does, and he can't avoid the rush at all. I just feel I can't count on him, and I think it might be time to start looking for a new keeper QB. Maybe take Quinn or Jamarcus Russell and stash them away.

And dumped him 12 hours later for Ferrotte
