Porter and Curry? (1 Viewer)

[chris1969]

A day after the draft, a guy waives Curry, so I waive Bobby Wade and pick him up. Just the other day, the guy that has Porter waives him to pick up Crayton, so I waive Scaife and pick up Porter. This leaves me in a spot where I don't have a lot of room to pick up anybody. I know that it will probably be a few weeks before we're certain who the QB for the season will be, so basically I'm holding 2 roster spots for potentially 1 wr#3. Value wise I know I took better guys than what I gave up, but strategy wise I'm having second thoughts. The next few weeks there will be a few gems that pop up and I might not have the room to pick them up now. Do you guys think that it's important to think about roster flexibility early in the season or am I second guessing myself too much and doubting my 2 gifts when I should be happy.

I wouldn't be happy with those two either.

I hear you about having roster flexibility at the beginning of the year, as taking a chance on the hot player at the beginning of the year can end up paying huge dividends. But having guys you like on your roster can't ever be a BAD thing, can it? The ideal situation is if you can end up trading players that start out hot and exceeding your projections for them without significantly improving their level of play. Ultimately that's got to be the key factor in whether you pick up any player off the waiver wire -- has something changed to make that player significantly more valuable than before? Many times it's an injury in front of them that opens up a lot more opportunity, so the answer is yes.Re: Porter and Curry, I am a Curry owner, and I think he's going to have a great year if his numbers from the end of last season that were put up in a historically terrible offense mean ANYTHING. I can see why you would hedge your bets and have them both, though, as it's not at all clear who's going to be #1 there and if there will be enough balls to go around for both. I'd say either would make an excellent fourth WR bet right now, in any event.

I would hold onto both of them for as long as possible and then either trade or release one of them depending on how they've performed.

I'm a Curry owner and Raider fan and I think he'll have a career year. He's the guy that'll get most of the catches, especially on 3rd down. Porter is also going to put up some good numbers, but I think Curry will be more consistent.

 

[Traders2001]

I got Porter in a dynasty league 12 teams .

After the Rookie draft and free agents draft ( Players no one has we pick according to the rookie draft order )

well afetr all this no one noticed Porter was nt taken , i needed to add a WR and discover he was free so took him .

very Low risk , high reward .

I was trying to get Curry via trade and got Porter for free so i m happy.
