I need a BYE week fill in for a QB and there's not much to choose from. SO unless someone drops a QB, I'm looking at:

Losman vs MIN

Collins vs DAL

Huard vs SF

Walter vs CLE

Help me pick one! Also, I have a chance to get the WR/TE Colston but would have to drop Crotchery; is this worth it?

I would do the simple Plummer for Santana deal. Even though I am not a fan of many in that other deal, it is NOT slanted in your favor at all.

Yeah I didn't like it either even though I think Stallworth is going to be a stud and reports are coming out that L Washington is going to take some of Barlow's carries.The best QB on waivers though is JP Losman.

First off, I would definitely drop Cotch if you can get Colston as a TE.On the QBs, I would look at Walter or Huard. I like the QBs coming off bye. Many around here are much better at the WDIS questions than I am, but I starting mLJordan and Moss this week in my leagues in hopes of improvement off of the bye week.

I would trade Plummer away for Santana and pick up Losman. You are not losing a ton on QB and are gaining a decent WR that should improve since Portis is back.

One caveat: Make sure it is Walter who is starting and not Brooks

Drop Robinson?Just noticed T Green is also available.

I would drop dayne or barlow instead of mrob (prob dayne). plus, i would grab losman over tgreen. who knows when he is coming back and how effective he will be.

Wbee,

Frye or Cutler in a dynasty league ?

Who do you like for the long haul ?

thanks.

 

[wannabee]

Wbee,Frye or Cutler in a dynasty league ?Who do you like for the long haul ?thanks.

oh man. Than is a tough one for me. I have heard rave reviews on Cutler and everyone looks at his upside. But, Frye is starting now. There is never any assurance that Cutler will develop and start, much less be productive enough to be a fantasy starter. I think Frye, with Winslow and Edwards back, is a startable fantasy QB now. So, I will take Frye, but not by much. And, primarily on the basis of current production and lack of quantifying "potential" on prospects like Cutler. Even if Cutler develops into a starter, who says he will be a better fantasy starter than Frye?

 

[pretender]

Wannabee - I need to start 2 RB and 3 WR 1 flex RB or WR - no ppr 1 pt per 10 yds receiving or rushing all TDs 6 pts

Viable RB - Dillon, Droughns, C Taylor, Dayne, M Robinson

Viable WR - Plax - is on his bye, C Henry, TJ whosyourmama, Stallworth, Jennings, E Wilford, Travis Taylor

I currently am leaning towards Droughns and Taylor and

Stallworth, Jennings, Henry and TJ (worries about Stallworth as I got burned last week)

Droughns says he is ready has a good matchup but is he really ready - haven't heard from the coachs yet. Not sure about Dillon at all.

Lots of question marks. Maybe I would be better off starting 3 RB's Dillon, Droughns and Taylor or if I here Gore is out M Robinson for sure. And go with Jennings, Henry and TJ and hope that both the Cincy WR's can score some points - with CJ it is certainly problematic.

Which way would you go - who and why.

I only think you have 7 viable options to pick 6. You have the three RBs and 4 WRs. I think you start 3 RBs and 3 WRs, especially if Stallworth is out I would. I see the 3 RBs as all being better options (esp in non-ppr) than either Jennings or Henry. Housh is a gimme. If Stallworth is out, you play both Henry and Jennings. If Stallworth is playing, I think you have to start him and choose between Heny and Jennings. I would "lean" to Jennings over Henry just because how few games Palmer throws for so much, CJ gets squat, and Rudi does little. I think it evens out and I would not want both Bengal WRs.Hope this helps.

Here is what I have found:Droughns says he'll play

Published Mon Sep 25 11:21:00 p.m. ET 2006

(Rotoworld) Reuben Droughns (shoulder) told the AP that he will play in Week 4.

Impact: "This Sunday, oh yeah, you can count me in," Droughns said. He's been so ineffective so far we still hesitate to recommend him, even against the Raiders this weekend. Jason Wright started in Week 3. Jerome Harrison has yet to become a big part of Cleveland's offense.

Browns | Droughns limited in practice Wednesday

Published Wed Sep 27 6:41:00 p.m. ET 2006

(KFFL) Scott Petrak, of the Medina Gazette, reports Cleveland Browns RB Reuben Droughns (shoulder) missed part of practice Wednesday, Sept. 27 and is questionable for Week 4.

The last one was yesterday, so keep an eye on it.

 

[atcdav]

this is a 14 team redraft league. we start 1rb, 3wr, 0te, and 1 flex-rb/wr/te. So in any week I can start 1rb and 4wr/te or 2rb and 3wr/te. I am thinking about trading McNabb and Ravens to improve my rb/wr position. Is this a mistake?

So far I was offered brady, edge, c.johnson for mcnabb, parker, housh. I don't care for this trade. What is your opinion of this trade. should I hang onto mcnabb and ravens?

my roster:

J.P. Losman

D McNabb

W Parker

V Morency

M Barber

A Green

J Norwood

R Moss

M Furrey

K Robinson

T.J. Houshmandzadeh

M Clayton

E Johnson

L.J. Smith

J Carney

D Ravens

I like your team a LOT in a 14 team league. I know how frustrating having Moss can be. I have him in all 3 redrafts. You do have a good team. I would not do that deal. I think Housh will be close in production to CJ and Parker is atleast equal to edge ... and I think mcnabb is a strong upgrade over brady this year. Since you only start one RB, plus the flex, I might try to trade a depth RB for a WR depth upgrade. I would look at trading either Barber to the Julius owner or Norwood to the Dunn owner for a good startable WR.

Okay so I did the Plummer for Santana deal.Another owner offered me a trade which I immediately rejected but I was wondering if I should try to snag Dunn or Bush off his roster since his WR's are so weak.His initial offer:R BrownL JordanD MasonforunnBushMouldsI responded with (knowing he would object, which he did):BarlowMasonforDunnNow I'm thinking of offering Lamont and Mason for Dunn and Moulds.

I would wait until after this week to trade Jordan. I expect the Raiders to come out strong this week with some pride ... for a change. I would also prefer Mason to Moulds. Also, in a redraft, I would not trade for Bush. He is overvalued in redrafts. If Jordan can have a good week, and you want Dunn, I would try Jordan and Mason for Dunn and Edwards. Braylon will surprise this year, I think.

WB- 10 team redraft, start 2 QB, 2 RB, 3WR

Passing- 1 pt/25 yds, 4 pts/TD

Rushing/Rec- 1 pt/10 yds, 6 pt/TD

QB Im pretty sure its Hasselbeck and A Smith this week- A Brooks is an option and Roeth is on a bye

RB and WR Im torn though..

RB1- LT

RB2- A Green vs Phil, J Lewis vs SD, or C Dillon vs Cin?? Right now Im liking A Green, but damn the Packers throw a ton. SD front 7 is stought, and I think Cin/NE will be a shootout. Meh, maybe NE will try to grind it out more on the ground...but if they get behind theyll have to throw throw throw. WDYS?

WR1- Harrison

WR2- R Moss- dammit be productive please.

WR3- Williamson at Buf, D Branch at Chi, or Berrian vs Sea?? Right now Im thinking Williamson bc Im still not sure where DB is going to fit into the offense, and they are playing Chicago. I dont know a whole lot about Berrian, but I was able to pick him up off of FA so I made a move. WDYS?

 

[hammerd]

I'm undecided between Favre or Bulger for week 4.

Seems like they're both in the top 5 on most cheatsheets this week.

My league gives 1 point/every 20 passing yards, 6 points per TD pass, 5 point bonus @ 300 passing yards, another 5 @ 350 yards, etc. , -1 point per interception.

My gut says stay with the hot hand in Favre, but Bulger's playing a cupcake Detroit passing D.

I have Green and Lewis in different leagues. I have a feeling this is the week Ahman has an off week. The Eagles usually squash the Packers. I could see Favre throwing a ton late to make it close, so Green might get some passes, but I do not see a ton of running room. Lewis will have difficulty running against the Chargers, especially witht he Chargers coming off of bye to prepare. If he is healthy, which all accounts lead to, I would start Dillon. I think the Pats will give him the ball a ton versus his old team.on the WRs, I would not start Branch until I see how he will be used in that offense. Berrian is always a deep threat, and so is Williamson. I would lean to Williamson based on the matchup and lack of other weapons on the Vikes.Good luck.

I looked it up and to my surprise, Philly and Detroit are giving up similar numbers to QBs. I remember Carr and the Texans throwing on the Eagles. I would go Favre and expext a 2 TDs and 250-275 yds and 1-2 Ints. He will be throwing a ton late to make it close®.

If redraft, and there is a decent WR on waiver, I would do that in a heartbeat. TO is a must start and could be your ticket to the title.

 

[eastcoastbias]

Hi wannabee,thanks for the thread it is great anyway, this is my first year of a dynasty and my RB's have gone to crap. I need some RB depth. A fellow owner needs WR depth. I want to propose a trade my WR for his RB but I need some assistance of what you think.My RBs:No laughter please JordanJJonesJ. NorwoodM. BarberR. DayneM. RobinsonMy WRs:Much BetterFitzBurressMasonGlennColstonB. MarshallHis RBs:JacksonDunnDroughnsMcAllisterHis WRs:S. MossV. JacksonE. KennisonLeliePorterP. PriceAs you can see we can help each other out. I have never been good at proposing trades since in the 3 leagues I play in, trading rarely happens.So my thoughts were maybe Mason for McAllister or Droughns. I know McAllister had the 2 TD game so his value is probably a little inflated but I want to see your thoughts.I definitely want to hold on to Fitz and Burress. Those two in dynasty = Appreciate help

you have a good team with several strong, young prospects. So, my thinking is to trade to be competitive this year without jeopardizing your youth. the first deal i thought of was a deal involving your Mason for his Dunn since you have Norwood. This would lock up the Atl rbs. I do not know if he would go for it, but maybe offer Dayne and Mason for Dunn and Porter. Dunn is 31 years old (in fact, he will be 32 in early January) and cannot have too many years left. But, he would provide a good stop-gap until Jordan, et al, get going. I think the other guy would be a fool not to take that deal. If he balks, try the deal mason for dunn straight up.If not, I would think he would part with Droughns fairly cheap, but make sure to keep an eye out for the results of his shoulder injury from yesterday. But, whatever you do, the only players i would trade (unless i got a smoking deal) would be glenn, mason, and dayne. You have a strong young nucleus and you will be strong for a few years. No need to mortgage the future now.

hi wannabee,I offered the Mason/Dayne for Dunn/PorterHe countered with:Mason/M Barber III for Dunn/PorterIs this still a good trade for me?FYI as it stands now I am 0-3 right now due to my RB situation so I want to trade for an upgrade at RB.Appreciate your insight I

 

[Snot Bubbler]

I have more serviceable RBs than I can start, so my main strategy is to package 2 together and in return get a single, better RB.

The Tom Brady owner in my league wants to trade me for Brett Favre. I like the swap, but I want to hold out for an RB upgrade as well.

The best offer I came up with was the following:

Tom Brady and De Shaun Foster

for

Brett Favre, Reuben Droughns, & Travis Henry

The offer was rejected, but I think we were close.

Should I make another offer (giving in a little more) or cut off trade talks this week considering that my guys have better matchups this week and could have more value when I offer the same trade next week?

Hi wannabee,thanks for the thread it is great anyway, this is my first year of a dynasty and my RB's have gone to crap. I need some RB depth. A fellow owner needs WR depth. I want to propose a trade my WR for his RB but I need some assistance of what you think.My RBs:No laughter please JordanJJonesJ. NorwoodM. BarberR. DayneM. RobinsonMy WRs:Much BetterFitzBurressMasonGlennColstonB. MarshallHis RBs:JacksonDunnDroughnsMcAllisterHis WRs:S. MossV. JacksonE. KennisonLeliePorterP. PriceAs you can see we can help each other out. I have never been good at proposing trades since in the 3 leagues I play in, trading rarely happens.So my thoughts were maybe Mason for McAllister or Droughns. I know McAllister had the 2 TD game so his value is probably a little inflated but I want to see your thoughts.I definitely want to hold on to Fitz and Burress. Those two in dynasty = Appreciate help

you have a good team with several strong, young prospects. So, my thinking is to trade to be competitive this year without jeopardizing your youth. the first deal i thought of was a deal involving your Mason for his Dunn since you have Norwood. This would lock up the Atl rbs. I do not know if he would go for it, but maybe offer Dayne and Mason for Dunn and Porter. Dunn is 31 years old (in fact, he will be 32 in early January) and cannot have too many years left. But, he would provide a good stop-gap until Jordan, et al, get going. I think the other guy would be a fool not to take that deal. If he balks, try the deal mason for dunn straight up.If not, I would think he would part with Droughns fairly cheap, but make sure to keep an eye out for the results of his shoulder injury from yesterday. But, whatever you do, the only players i would trade (unless i got a smoking deal) would be glenn, mason, and dayne. You have a strong young nucleus and you will be strong for a few years. No need to mortgage the future now.

hi wannabee,I offered the Mason/Dayne for Dunn/PorterHe countered with:Mason/M Barber III for Dunn/PorterIs this still a good trade for me?FYI as it stands now I am 0-3 right now due to my RB situation so I want to trade for an upgrade at RB.Appreciate your insight I

Hey, I appreciate the kind words. I think this is a bad trade (for dynasty) for you. Dunn will be 32 this January. I do not like this at all. Good luck.

I do not even like that deal. As bas as Droughns as been, he is still pretty equal to Foster. I see Foster's value going down over this year ... either for injury or lack of production. If Chambers has another clunker and Bryant a decent game, I might float out the swap at QB and swapping the WRs.But, after thinking about it, I am not so sure Brady will outproduce Favre. I think Favre has another good game Monday night. Then, the guy (with Brady playing conservative vs Cincy) might offer you a sweatheart deal.

I understand your hesitancy at QB. But, I think your team is definitely STACKED other than QB and I would not sacrifice all of the depth at Rb and WR.I would probably look to another owner and offer a package of Lundy, Galloway and one of your QBs for a Delhomme, Bulger, or maybe Culpepper. But, I would strive to keep your core group of studs.

That is part of my problem the team I started with has both Hasslebeck and Delhomme I offered him Portis or McGahee for either one but he countered my with Hasselbeck & JJ for Jackson & Walker and I told him to get out of town. I just received another e-mail from the other team for another offer. C.Portis D.McNabbR.Williams L.Coles/D.Bennett(you pick)M.Brunell S.Parker/E.Parker/M.Booker(you pick) I have been thinking like you just stick it out with my QB's and see what happens but I do not have a 1st round pick so my QB's are going to be like this for a few years.What do you think of Brodie Croyle for the long term would you pick him up and drop any of my players for him.ThanksPS what do you think of Leftwick because one of the teams have him as a back should I try to trade for him I am guessing that he would upgrade my QB's.

I would probably look for Favre or McNair cheap. I have found Leftwich and Frye, both young qb prospects, to be cheap to acquire. I felt I needed a vet QB and acquired McNair for Sinorice Moss. I felt this was cheap QB insuance.I think Favre might come VERY cheap since most assume this is his last year. This is why I would go cheap. In a league of this size, you can win with McNair, Favre, Frye, or Leftwich considering the RBs and WRs you already have.

I traded R. Williams for Pennington and now the guy has offered me this trade.McNabb, M. Bennett, D. Bennett, or Calhoun for Fitz, Kitna, & Pennington.What do you think can I win with Kitna & Pennington or should I make thing trade I like it alot better with Fitz instead of Portis but do I give up the possible top WR in the future for McNabb?Thanks for all your help.

 

[Noahs Troopers]

With Eli on a bye week and my backup on bye and injured anyhow (Simms) i planned on starting Losman this week, but also picked up Huard off waivers (there is nobody else at all, zealots league, 53 man rosters). I have Mcgahee as one of my rbs and no other chiefs/bills playing on offense. Would you go with Losman vs. Vikings or Huard vs. 49ers?

I am not a great WDIS guy, but I think I would go with Huard coming off a bye. I see that game as a shhotout. I expect Minny to try to keep the score low with good defense and ball control. I think Willis will be an average start, but the Minny defense will sell out to stop the run like they did last week and were successfuland, the way Simms was playing, I thiink both of these guys are prob at least equal to him

I know it is enticing, but I think Fitz is too strong of prospect to give away. I think you can win with Kitna and Pennington ... or at least until you get a better trade. I guess my sticking point is that it is dynasty. In dynasty, I try to build strength and depth at rb and wr and can bandaid qb and te if need be. I do think Brooks is coming back. How strong is anybody's guess. I also think you can acquire a favre or bledsoe pretty cheap for this year (next, too, possibly for Bledsoe). But, to answer this question, for dynasty, keep the young stud rbs/wrs unless you get a great deal

i do not know how great the advice is/was, but I will give it a try:culpepper. teams are throwing on hou like water through a sieve.i like brown and gore. brown because it is hou and gore because i like the matchup and expect a shootout. i look for a saint let down after monday nite (sorry). this is a tough game for the saints. i would, however, start bush if gore is out. but, all i have read points to gore as healthy.wayne and housh are gimmes in ppr. both are studs. i read where wayne said he would play. i might look for a dedication-type game in memory of his brother where he (wayne) goes off for a big game. now, the tough one is glenn vs edwards. the easy answer is glenn if to is out and edwards otherwise. but, to made the trip but is a game time decision. even with to, glenn should be decent. to might start/play as a decoy mainly. so, glenn, but especially so if to is out.hope this helps.

 

[Reagan]

Wannabee...let me get your thoughts on this potential deal.....

I give Gore, McNair, Matt Jones

I get Bulger, Reggie Bush

Gore's possibly going to lose goalline carries. Bush will score...you'd think.

I think Bulger will be an upgrade over McNair and will start more often than not.

I could sit tight and just offer Jones/McNair for Bulger and keep Gore, but I have concern about his short yardage situation. I'm 2-1 right now. Strong so far, except for mediocre QB play. I just picked up Favre, or I'd be 3-0 if I had him last week.

My team:

QB: Favre, McNair

RB: LT, Gore, Maroney, T. Jones, M. Turner, Deangelo

WR: CJ, Fitz, Driver, Matt Jones, Antonio Bryant

TE: Witten

His team:

QB: Bledsoe, Bulger

I see Bush and Gore as pretty equal in redrafts. And, losing Matt Jones would not hurt you. But, I think I would rather have Favre than Bulger. In addition, I see Favre and Bledsoe as pretty even. I guess I am disappointed by the Ram offense so far. I think SJax probably has the biggest improvement in the offense. The timing is off and the offense looks out of sync. If you are still worried, I might try:McNair/Gore for Bledsoe/Bush or even throw in Jones. He should not play a ton with your WRs. If you are good with Favre, I think you might be able to make a run at SJax depending on the other owner. He has a ton of Rams and might be too big of homer to trade SJax. I might see if the other guy would take: Gore/TJones/MJones for SJax. But, I have been optimistic of Favre and continue to be. The guy is going to have a great year.

johnson and edwards until i see evans have two decent games. even last week, his damage was all 2nd half. in the first two games, evans had 5 targets each. last week, he had 13 ... 10 of which were in the 2nd half. of those 10 targets, 8 were catches and 6 1st downs. did evans turn the corner? i do not know, but the other options are good enough not to sweat it.

Weird scoring format (obviously TD heavy): 3 pts/50 yards rushing-3 pts/50 yards receiving-6 pts/TD

My first instinct is to bench Bush. I've started the guy for the last three weeks and I hate to leave him on the bench when he breaks out . However, Carolina has everthing in the world to play for at home while NO is clearly playing with house money at this point. What's the consensus?

CJ vs. NE

Wannabee....I ended up not doing anything before week 4 and I now need Favre and Driver to help overcome a 16 pt deficit on MNF...my opponent has McNabb. I'm not optimistic.Regarding the trade ideas I asked about last week (above)....Thoughts on this....I give: Gore/Fitzgerald/McNair/Jason Witten/DeangeloI get: Sjax/Bulger or Bledsoe/Colston/Ben WatsonMy thoughts: I'd love SJax. Fitzgerald has been so-so and his QB situation isn't improving. Witten has disappointed. Gore is good, but fumble/injury prone. It's a wholesale change, and he might not bite off on losing Sjax and may ask for Gore and CJ, or ask for me to give Gore/Thomas Jones/Fitzgerald.Thoughts?

 

[ydub]

Here's the deal: Down by 10 and my opponent has L.J. Smith and the PHI defense. I know the odds are long and I need a monster game and I know I *should* start the metronome consistent Driver. But after last week's sleepy performance from DD does anyone think that Jennings has a better shot at a monster game. I'm thinking I need somewhere in the neighborhood of 130 yards and 2 TD's to have a shot gettin' the W. Should I stick with the safe play (Driver) or swing for the fences (Jennings)? Am I nuts for even considering this? TIA

Personally, I like the deal for you, but I would counter a little to see if I could squeeze more out of the deal. He has Benson so Jones is a natural fit. I would probably ask for:Favre/jones/droughns

for

Warner/Brown/Jacobs

You take two flier on potential that the other guy would have to drop anyway. Jacobs, if a Tiki injury, could be gold. Warner, only because Leinart is a rook and who knows how that will play out

I just picked up Favre, or I'd be 3-0 if I had him last week.My team:QB: Favre, McNairRB: LT, Gore, Maroney, T. Jones, M. Turner, DeangeloWR: CJ, Fitz, Driver, Matt Jones, Antonio BryantTE: WittenHis team:QB: Bledsoe, BulgerRB: SJax, D. Rhodes, K. Jones, BushWR: Holt, Djax, Colston, T. WilliamsonTE: B.

I see Bush and Gore as pretty equal in redrafts. And, losing Matt Jones would not hurt you. But, I think I would rather have Favre than Bulger. In addition, I see Favre and Bledsoe as pretty even. I guess I am disappointed by the Ram offense so far. I think SJax probably has the biggest improvement in the offense. The timing is off and the offense looks out of sync. If you are still worried, I might try:McNair/Gore for Bledsoe/Bush or even throw in Jones. He should not play a ton with your WRs. If you are good with Favre, I think you might be able to make a run at SJax depending on the other owner. He has a ton of Rams and might be too big of homer to trade SJax. I might see if the other guy would take: Gore/TJones/MJones for SJax. But, I have been optimistic of Favre and continue to be. The guy is going to have a great year.

Wannabee....I ended up not doing anything before week 4 and I now need Favre and Driver to help overcome a 16 pt deficit on MNF...my opponent has McNabb. I'm not optimistic.Regarding the trade ideas I asked about last week (above)....Thoughts on this....I give: Gore/Fitzgerald/McNair/Jason Witten/DeangeloI get: Sjax/Bulger or Bledsoe/Colston/Ben WatsonMy thoughts: I'd love SJax. Fitzgerald has been so-so and his QB situation isn't improving. Witten has disappointed. Gore is good, but fumble/injury prone. It's a wholesale change, and he might not bite off on losing Sjax and may ask for Gore and CJ, or ask for me to give Gore/Thomas Jones/Fitzgerald.Thoughts?

no way would i give all of that for bledsoe, colston, and watson. I think you are giving up the higher value than getting if you trade for SJax and Bulger. It should be difficult for the other guy to turn that down.I do think that most still hold Gore high after the first two games, so you might keep that in mind.

Here's the deal: Down by 10 and my opponent has L.J. Smith and the PHI defense. I know the odds are long and I need a monster game and I know I *should* start the metronome consistent Driver. But after last week's sleepy performance from DD does anyone think that Jennings has a better shot at a monster game. I'm thinking I need somewhere in the neighborhood of 130 yards and 2 TD's to have a shot gettin' the W. Should I stick with the safe play (Driver) or swing for the fences (Jennings)? Am I nuts for even considering this? TIA

sorry that neither played out. And that I was not around much today like normal. Favre was anemic tonite

MY TEAM -- Then my questions.....thanks in advance!

QB - Start 1 RB - Start 2 WR - Start 3

Grossman-Brunell-Leinart RBrown-FGore-RBush-JAddai RWayne-TJHoush-TGlenn-BEdwards

TE - Start 1 K - Start 1 DEF - Start 1

BWatson Kaeding Cincinatti

I have to cover the Bengals bye week. Should I drop the Bengals and grab the Chiefs who play the Cards?

Then drop the Chiefs again to grab the Bengals back?

or drop Leinart, and add a 2nd DEF?

At TE, I am really frustrated with Watson-he was hyped as Brady's go to Big Guy and he hasn't measured up. Gabriel has really cut into his receiving stats.

Should I wait and hope his time will come or DROP him for a guy on the WW....

available are:

DeClark - Scaife - Wrighster - Wilcox

or drop Leinart, and add a 2nd TE?

I'm looking to make the best upgrade either at TE or DEF.

THANKS--I WILL RETURN THE FAVOR! c:

you have a good team. First of all, I would not drop Leinart. He will be starting this week and he might carry you down the stretch when the weather turns bad for Grossman.I can totally see dropping the Bengal defense. This is a good move. I doubt someone picks them up after the last couple of weeks.On the TEs, Clark is the only one of the three that start at TE for their team. Wrighster will take a backseat when Marcedes comes back fully. Wilcox got action with Heap nicked. Scaife is an interesting option but Troupe got a ton of looks, too. Clark looked really good. I would still keep Watson for another game to see if anything improves. hope this helps.
