Roster Stashes for 2011? (1 Viewer)

[Touchdown There]

I need to revamp a Dynasty roster and want some good holds for 2011. Looking to compile a list and get feedback. Who is not getting a shot this year, but may be put in good positions after free agency moves and trades.

QB

Kolb - Vick is a UFA. If they re-sign Vick, they may trade Kolb.

RB

Bernard Scott - Benson is a UFA.

Donald Brown - Addai is a UFA

Tashard Choice - The winds of change are blowing in Dallas. Good chance they trim the three headed monster down to two. MBIII or Felix Jones will be traded.

WR

James Jones - He is a UFA and I think the Packers want to keep him. Donald Driver will be 36.

Jacoby Jones - UFA that I think the Texans want to keep.

Seyi Ajirotutu - Will likely end the year buried on the depth chart with the Chargers, but both Naanee and VJax are UFAs. He also has trade value to the Chargers after last weeks performance.

TE

Joel Dreessen or James Casey - Owen Daniels is a UFA

Jared Cook - Scaife is a UFA

And my breakout pick of 2011? Plaxico Burress.

Who has the talent waiting in the wings?

 

[BringItOn]

Lots of good dynasty stashes that are/have have been getting playing time now, like Floyd,Felix/Barber, but since you are looking for guys that haven't gotten opportunity,

a few off the top of my head:

Slaton= with the emergence of Foster, he's not been heard from.. change of scenery could do him good.

Pierre-Almost traded to the Pats,Wanting another contract, which the Saints likely won't give = good opportunity for new scenery

Andre Brown-Been bouncing around a lot recently, but could land in a decent position... good upside for the end of the roster stash

Stallworth- will be 30 next year, but could rebound now that he's getting healthy

 

[videoguy505]

Good to also be on the lookout for studs on the IR who may be available. Ryan Grant could be a cheap acquisition now, and could be solid next season.

 

[thriftyrocker]

WR

Doucet

Decker

Stephen Williams

Danario

TE

Jared Cook

 

[Steed]

There's a thread like this that gets bumped every year that dates back to like 2007. I wouldn't even know how to search for it.

 

[Touchdown There]

Good to also be on the lookout for studs on the IR who may be available. Ryan Grant could be a cheap acquisition now, and could be solid next season.

Good suggestion so I checked. Vincent Jackson, Sidney Rice, and Ryan Grant were never dropped in this dynasty league. I am thinking most dynasty owners hold the big name guys.

 

[loose circuits]

I think you guys talking about Jared Cook need to look at Craig Stevens who has seen the field a lot more than Cook

Sticking with TE's, Micheal Palmer is a good story if Gonzo retires

Not to mention Hoomanawui or Onobun in STL

Thomas Jones is 32 years old, so I like Jackie Battle to emerge as a committee partner for Charles and Dexter sooner than later. Although it may be 2012

If Benson is gone and Scott takes over while the Bengals don't address the situation, Cedric Pearman had some flashes in the preseason. He's got some talent and the physical tools, but needs some polish

 

[Sammy Traveller]

And my breakout pick of 2011? Plaxico Burress.

I don't think Burress will do it. It takes a lot to make a comeback like this. Vick had a great work ethic before he went to jail, and that helped him deal with his situation and he really went into his comeback with all cylinders going.Burress? I just don't see it in him.

[Glaven]

I like the James Casey call in the OP. Guy catches the ball great, and is really athletic for someone who is as ripped as he is.

 

[loose circuits]

just thought of another one, Danny Ware NYG...although he got some action last week so he may not come as cheap as he should.

jacobs could be gone next season

ok I don't have the evidence on me to show that Vick had a great work ethic. He just played hard in the games he played. Burress? He hasn't always been consistent.

 

[eaglesfan7]

Plaxico? lol you're not serious right? I like some of the other players you mentioned but definitely not Plaxico.

 

[RushHour]

RBKeiland WilliamsHugginsWareKarimWRDoucetDeckerStephen WilliamsDanarioTEJared Cook

I really like this list. I'm personally stashing Choice in case he gets a real shot next year....also Jimmy Graham, but dynasty leaguers are all over that situation I know.

 

[King of the Jungle]

donnie avery maybe

 

[ChuckLiddell]

Jacoby Ford.

Looked like a man among boys on Sunday. Has crazy speed and showed great hands. It may take the Raiders until 2011 to admit to themselves that DHB is not a starter, but if/when they do, Ford looks like someone who could possibly move right into the lineup. Unless what we saw on Sunday was a fluke, this guy can play.

He is in jail. Get it - "breakout". HA!

2nd this one. Avery can be had super cheap, and it looks like he'll have a stud QB in Bradford. Opportunity will be there - IMO it's never been a question of talent, but health.

 

[Touchdown There]

I like Avery as a player. It will be interesting to see what happens between Clayton, Avery and Danario Alexander next year.

 

[Touchdown There]

Anyone else like Riley Coopers effort for Philly? He looks like a rookie talent buried on the depth chart.

 

[Matt Waldman]

Anyone else like Riley Coopers effort for Philly? He looks like a rookie talent buried on the depth chart.

Very much so. Cooper has been underrated in this 2010 draft class. He's a big-bodied guy with better speed than you think and he has a physical style of play. I wouldn't at all be surprised if he earns a starting opportunity in the next 2-3 years in Philly or elsewhere. I had watched Cooper and film and liked him a lot. His performance in practices at the Senior Bowl didn't change my view, either. The guy that stood out to me the most at WR was Cooper because he just made NFL type of plays (catches in tight coverage, good intermediate routes, strong in the red zone working back to quarterbacks, etc.) consistently in the practices. What was interesting was how all over the board people that write about draft prospects were about him. One, who I have a lot of respect for so I don't want to mention him by name at this time, didn't think he was much of a prospect at all. But when Cecil and I made some small talk with Daniel Jeremiah before a podcast with him, Jeremiah mentioned Cooper as the best receiver he saw in those practices on a consistent basis. It was one of those moments where listening to him explain why, was a validating experience that I felt like I was watching the right things at this position, despite the difficulties with evaluating that position overall. Might also want to keep an eye on Dorin Dickerson, the Pittsburgh TE/WR who the Texans are converting into a WR. Jacoby Jones has not become the player the team has hoped to see and this summer seemed to be the turning point, but it never came. If Dickerson improves quickly enough, I could see him becoming a big-time factor, overtaking Walter and/or Jones.

He is in jail. Get it - "breakout". HA!

Vick had a horrible work ethic before he went to jail. It was the prospect of prison that really changed his ways. Burress has kept notebooks on players for a long time. He is expected to get out in 2011 and try to sign on with a team. His age and year and a half away will make it more difficult for him to come back, but I took a chance on him in a deep dynasty league as a stash player.

 

[Ariakis]

Jimmy Graham - Cat will be out of the bag this weekend..

Choice - MB3 will be gone. Choice will begin 2011 in an RBBC but is a great stash for the next Felix injury.

Tolbert - Very unlikely to not be rostered but he really looks like a Michael Turner type. I think he's a UFA after 2011 maybe someone can confirm. Mathews hasn't proved anything yet anyway.

Seji will be a starter for the Chargers in 2011.

Grant / Starks - BJax won't be more than a changeup in 2011. We'll see if Starks gets on the field this season to make himself the next Arian Foster otherwise Grant gets the leg up.

Donald Brown - Hard to give up on him despite the poor showing this month. His arrow is down though but if Addai walks he'll be valuable for sure.

I just can't get behind Maroney or Slaton but they may be worth stashing.

Not sure what to do with Tamme in the offseason. Dallas Clark and Wayne aren't getting younger and so far he's proven he can step right in.

Denario Alexander will post another monster game in a few weeks and show value down the stretch. Not sure what next season will bring but their QB can support an elite WR. I think Gibson is the play this week atleast.

I actually like the Plaxico pick. Just think how many people were laughing at the ones who stashed Vick before he came back. My leagues FA period has ended but I will be targeting him in our rookie/FA draft. Also Vick had a poor work ethic pre prison, he has even said so himself. Love the mentions of Cook and Casey, I have stashed both, Cook since last year and Casey at the start of this season. I really like both of there upside if given the chance to be the man.

[2Squirrels1Nut]

Keiland Williams

Karim

WR

Doucet

Decker

Stephen Williams

Danario

TE

Jared Cook

I would add, believe it or not, Malcolm Kelly to the list. The 'Skins could have IR'd him and cut him loose in an injury settlement long ago, but they've opted to keep him around. The WR corps is begging for a big guy who can contribute. He couldn't be cheaper as a pickup and you can even stash him on your IR immediately if you want to.

 

[massraider]

Anthony Dixon. Gore entering last year of deal.

Longshot, but good guy for a rebuilding dynasty team.

good post . . .why will Seji be a starter next year???

I assume that Seji will be a starter because I doubt that V-Jax is willing to come back to the Chargers under any circumstances, and the consensus is that the team is done with Buster Davis.

 

[Ariakis]

good post . . .why will Seji be a starter next year???

Pretty sure Naanee, Floyd, VJax, and Buster Davis are all gone. Even if one of them stays it'll be tough to keep Seyi off the field unless he flops going forward. The way things are shaping up he just may be startable the rest of THIS year but we'll see.

good post . . .

why will Seji be a starter next year???

In addition to what has already been said, there's this quote from Turner:

Chargers coach Norv Turner confirmed that Seyi Ajirotutu has solidified a roster spot for the remainder of the season.

Ajirotutu will struggle for a big role once Vincent Jackson (Roster Exempt) and Malcom Floyd (hamstring) return, but the rookie has led San Diego wideouts in receiving in two straight games. "He obviously will make tough catches, and he obviously can get deep," Turner said. "He is an exciting player … I see him being with us for a long time." The Chargers have a bye in Week 10.

 

[Neon Archie]

Ben Tate. Rookie got hurt in pre-season. Yeah, he will be stuck behind Foster, but Slaton is probably gone after this year. Tate should be the RB2 in Houston next year. Foster has a history of injury from college and you can probably get Tate on the cheap cheap cheap now. Definitely worth a flier. Never know...could be a DWill/JStew set up in Houston next year....

 

[UTLonghorn31]

Those stashing Jared Cook, he is not the sharpest tool in the shed nor a good work ethic (nice way to say it) and not someone that should be worth your time... yes, he is athletically gifted, but do yourself a favor and trade him based on his athletic potential and get something worthwhile to your roster. Now Casey, that is a good stash.

Also, the difference in Graham and Cook isn't athleticism, it is the fact that Graham has a good head on his shoulders, and Graham's upside is through the roof compared to Cook... Casey is also a MUCH better option over Cook. These little finite points will help you know in your dynasty leagues whether you are a top tier team, mid tier team, or a perennial loser over the course of years.

 

[todisco1]

I like Early Doucet. Is Breaston a UFA next season?

 

[D'OHtis]

I'd say Stephen Williams. I'm not sure the Cards will move Early out of the 3 hole. Stephen's an outside guy. Early's a slot.

Breaston is an URFA (Early is restricted) I believe.

---------------------------

Kolb is another. I believe someone will in fact pony up a 1st rounder for him. I don't expect a lack of suitors [Miami/AZ/Seattle to name off the top of my head. Wouldn't be a surprise if Minnesota even entered the picture]. Don't like the the incoming QB class outside of Luck. Mallett's the only other I like for a longer term project, but don't view him as a 1st rounder.

Danario Alexander is probably on a lot of lists. Rams are in desperate need of a deep threat. Any weapons of Bradford's in dynasty are worth a late roster stash.

 

[mr roboto]

OAK FB Marcel Reece?

FB/RB/TE/ - who knows where he will play but he's impressive when they get him the ball.

Probably a long shot.

 

[Football Jones]

If I had to pick one, & it had to be someone with little production to date, it would be Jared Cook.

A lot of people have given up on him for one reason or another. One of the more misread/misunderstood players in FF. His time is coming.

couldnt agree more..guy is a 2nd year TE, he is still learning the game, people always look for instant results nowadays.

[RC94]

Decker

 

[UTLonghorn31]

I stand with my comments, and others can disagree as I love the first amendment. I am not denying Cook's athleticism and potential... I am telling you that his odds of success are much lower than Graham or Casey because he not only doesn't work hard, but his Football IQ (sorry if that isn't clarified earlier) is extremely low. In a dynasty, you increase your odds of long term success by getting rid of those types.

The comment about jumping off of Cook in only in his 2nd year is moronic... Casey is also in his 2nd year and hasn't done anything either this year. Years are not likely to fix both problems (work ethic, football IQ) for Cook, although he may be able to fix one of them with time.

 

[DoubleG]

I like the two WRs with the cool D-names:

Demaryius and Danario

Thats cool, I stand by my comment that its to early to bail on the kid. I have no issue with Casey, if you will check my 1st post in this thread I mention I love and have both on my roster. The talent is there with Cook and if he does happen to put it together he can be a stud, thats what I look for when Im stashing players. He may never put it together and may be a total bust but if he isnt and does breakout you better believe he wont be breaking out for someone else's team in my league. I will be very interested to see what the Titans do this offseason, if they let Scaife walk and dont bring in any vetran TE they are showing they have confidence in the young kid, after that its all on him to put it all together on Sunday. Same with the Texans, I wonder if they resign OD especially since his asking price should be pretty low. Im pretty confident Casey can carve out a role next year if Dreessen is the only competition.

Whether or not they sign Scaife, I have a high degree of confidence that Cook is not likely to be the starter... probably ever.

 

[ThePittbully]

Jimmy Graham, and you have about ten hours to get him.

I also like Seyi Ajirotutu and Jacoby Ford, and Donnie Avery

Anthony Dixon at RB and also Ryan Grant, he can be had for next to nothing and I think he'll be successful next year. He's a good back, coming into this year only he and Peterson had posted back to back 1400 yard seasons.

O and I almost forgot Bernard Scott, Benson could be gone next year

 

[KellysHeroes]

Jericho Cotchery... Edwards and Holmes are both FAs after this yr and I highly doubt they can keep both, JC will be starting next to most likely Holmes next yr.

 

[scothawk]

Im thinking Kevin Smith might hit a few waiver wires this week. I will be picking him up where i can.

 

[DoubleG]

I just have a question for all the Scott love. Why do we assume Benson is "done" next year? I mean, I realize he's a FA after this season, but what makes anyhone think a guy who rushed for 1250 yards last year and is on a similar pace this year and who is only 27 is going to be lead out to pasture or not resigned?

Scott is only a year younger and Benson only has a little over 1000 career carries. He's only been over 200 carries in a season once, and last year was the first time over 300 (301). I guess I dont understand the presumption that Scott "is the future" as he hasnt been all that impressive and Benson has carried the load sufficiently for Cincy the last two seasons.

 

[D'OHtis]

I'd say Stephen Williams. I'm not sure the Cards will move Early out of the 3 hole. Stephen's an outside guy. Early's a slot.Breaston is an URFA (Early is restricted) I believe.

What about Andre Roberts? Does he still have value in AZ?

He could in time. He's certainly played more than I expected (IMO He didn't even deserve to make the cut out of camp. He was dreadful in every way possible). Very possible he makes Doucet expendable in time. I'm quite high on Stephen Williams still (and expect him to take over Breaston's spot if he leaves).I think Roberts will have every opportunity to take over the WR2 position. (Keep Fitz happy at WR will be the primary concern this offseason. They could rework his deal & I think the Cards will definitely be taking a hard look at the QB market). The team has a lot of holes & I think think keeping Breaston is at the top of the list.
