All Bengal's not named.... never mind.

I wouldn't mind moving SJAX, this team look completely lost !If the offer's good I might take it.

 

[deacon14]

Banging head off desk, one of my teams has Carson Palmer and Steven Jackson.

I doubt it is the wisest decision. I'm not sure I would categorize it as a "Panic Cut", but maybe I am just in denial.

I received Vince Young this summer as part of a trade; he was the "Garbage Player" that was included just to even out the trade. I never was enamored with him, I past him up in our rookie draft when he first came into the league, I just didn't think he was anything worth owning. No stats to back that up, no hours upon hours of watching college games to back it up, nothing more than he is just another quarterback in the league.

So, he is sitting on my bench. And I doubt I would ever start him. Right as the WW closed before the Thursday Jeff Garcia was cut, not a very desirable QB in my dynasty league I guess. I just put in to drop Young for Garcia. Not because of his injury, and not because of the stories that are going around about Young. I just think Garcia will be a better QB this year than Young

My #1 QB is Hasselback, I figured I needed a good backup.

 

[Marauder]

I'm seriously considering dumping Todd Heap and picking up Fasano, Royal or Rosario.

 

[scottybo]

Dropped Derek Hagan for Fasano. Hate to see goose-eggs from starters.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

My only "panic cut" would be Jason Campbell. My "panic pickup" would be Sage Rosenfels as Schaub insurance.

 

[Bankerguy]

All Rams not named Jackson come to mind.

I don't know.....I kinda liked how McMichael looked. Not a stud, but might be a good cheap TE pick up.

 

[cheese]

Issac Bruce

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

thinking about panic cutting Josh Morgan and/or Ike Bruce

 

[Bankerguy]

I'll be dumping LaMont Jordan. Should have taken Morris instead. Live and learn.

[Kirby]

Tom Brady....oh...wait...nm

I've got Brady on 2 teams... 76 yards isn't going to cut it... he's outta here.

I'm seriously considering dumping Todd Heap and picking up Fasano, Royal or Rosario.

fasano maybe. difficult for me to vote for him considering pennington threw the ball ALOT this week. royal and rosario will be the #3 - at best - options on their teams. steve smith returns next week remember.

 

[GoL]

I draft VY late hoping he would start hot and I could trade him. Now it looks like he'll just be waiver wire fodder.

I'm also looking at dropping Hagen.

The big problem is I didn't see anyone that I'm sure is going to post consistent numbers at WR.

 

[TommyGilmore]

I bought into the J.T. O'Sullivan hype and picked him up as my #3 QB (10 teams, start 2 QBs). Unfortunately there aren't very many QBs on the waiver wire (Cassel, Flacco, Ryan, Orton). But I still can't help but think that O'Sullivan is dead weight.

O'Sullivan did not look bad yesterday. It was AZ offense that hurt him more than their defense. Time of possession was AZ-37 minutes SF-23 minutes. This included a 10 minute drive in the 4th quarter and a 6 1/2 minute drive in the 3rd quarter.

I did drop Heap this morning for Fasano. That Bal offense scares me - and I spent pick 2.12 (12 team league) on McGahee!

good post. that 2nd half went long drive by AZ, fumbled KO by SF, long drive by AZ, long drive by SF, long drive by AZ that ended with less than 2 minutes to go. also, with alex smith possibly needing season-ending surgery, o'sullivan has zero competition for the gig.edit to add: with osullivan, hopefully you don't play in a league that penalizes TOs heavily though.

plus this was pretty much JTO's first time ever playing with Bryant Johnson, and he had limited playing time with Bruce. Give the SF offense time to gel, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

I agree that O'Sullivan didn't look bad, and the time of possession did hurt him. BUT........I'm concerned that most of his passes were checkdowns to the RB or TE. It's easy to complete 70% of your passes when your main target is your RB.

Much as I hated drafting Heap, as I waited very late on TE, he's the guy I'll drop for a different TE-hopefully Fasano.

 

[FFdork]

I hate cutting anyone after week 1. Sometimes there are players available that are worth giving up on one of your guys after only one week, but no one really jumps out at me in any of my leagues.

As far as who I've seen getting dropped, nothing spectacular: Owen Daniels in a non-TE-mandatory league might be the most notable.

 

[jaybebo]

Possible panic cuts:

Santonio Holmes: Ward caught two TDs from Big Ben and Holmes was only able to reel in two passes for 19 yards.

Carson Palmer: Throwing for only 99 yards and an interception, I see people jumping ship on him...I won't, but some will

Dallas Clark: Manning seemed out of sorts and Clark only got one reception for eight yards

Unless they play in a 6 team league, Managers who drop those guys after week 1 should have their fantasy licenses revoked.

Not that big of a leap there, pull the trigger.

 

[ckalltheway]

Winning both my games by lots of points this week, I'll be at the bottom of the waiver claim lists in a 12 and 14 team league so no one is worth panic dropping. Would like to drop a backup D and get LeRon McClain in one of them though as I have McGahee but don't think that's going to happen.

That may be the case, but he also threw for 195 yds on only 20 attempts for a fantastic 9.75 YPA. So, it's not as if they were simply dink and dunks. He had passing plays of 37, 31, 22, and 16 yds. If he gets up in the normal Martz range of 30-35 pass attempts, he's going to approach 250-300 yds on a regular basis. The TDs will come with that. Now, if he completed 70% of his passes at a 5 ypa clip, then I'd be much more concerned, even if he scored 1-2 TDs along with that.

 

[barista]

I'm seriously considering dumping Todd Heap and picking up Fasano, Royal or Rosario.

I did this... mostly because of Heap's injury. I suffered through that once before and hope I didn't just buy into a Frisman situation with Fasano.

 

[Bob Lee Swagger]

I dropped Josh Morgan for Anthony Fasano with Chris Cooley as my starting TE. Just in case

 

[FFdork]

Yeah, I don't know if they count as panic cuts since most people weren't very high on them in the first place, but I'm sure a lot of the SF WRs will be thrown back out there. I still think someone will emerge as decent value there, but the problem is guessing who.
