Yep. The dream is over. What a waste of a pick by new Orleans. Just like Carolina, why pay big for rbs when you never run.
but if you're a Sproles owner, is he worth a roster spot? I still think he'll see more action than Thomas is Sproles goes down...but that may just mean he gets 50 yards and no TDs instead of 15 yards and no TDs...so yea, maybe he is worthless

why? hes terrible

yeah, wr3 on a team with a 5000 yd passer is not roster worthy
true...i'm just going off of the argument that Saints traded up in the First Round last year to get the guy, so there must be some potential there...but yea, so far he doesn't look like anyone worth keeping on a bench...he may have a good game here and there, but its impossible to ever feel comfortable looking for him to help out during bye weeks or if your starters go down

Dangerously close to dropping Greg Little after seeing that stinkbomb from weeden
WR3? What does that mean?Stafford threw for 355 yds today. Young got 14 of them. The guy he's supposed to surpass on the depth chart clearly isn't going anywhere.

and its also 1 game out of 16
Ingram's worthless even for Sproles owners. I'd rather handcuff him with Travaris Cadet than Ingram.I'm dumping David Wilson to the wire in my shallow 10-team league. Already own Murray, Charles, Hillis, Martin and Quizz. Have no time to be patient while he learns not to fumble and cry.

I just don't want to deal with that situation anymore. It isn't worth the 1-2 games Royster will do well in.

Little is too talented to overreact after one game. If worst comes to worst, Weeden will stink so bad that they need to put McCoy back in. Little was a serviceable fantasy WR last season with McCoy...but yea, things aren't looking too good for Cleveland...just one game though
Me too. Russel Wilson's getting the axe first (12-team league, so not much need for a backup QB). But Little's next in line. I'll probably put in waiver claims on Ogletree and McCluster, dropping him if both go through. Might even do it for Donnie Avery, if I don't get one of my first choices.

Pretty sure I'm done with the AZ backfield. Just not worth the trouble in a 10 teamer. I'd probably rather try my luck with Washington at this point.

It came out that he was starting a day or two ago....and then he got the majority of the touches at the RB position. That's how Shanahan operates. He doesn't normally split up carries in-game except due to injury. So the trick becomes figuring out who that RB is....once you've got that, you've got a startable option. Again, we knew Morris was starting since at least yesterday.

i don't think i'd over-react and just outright drop ingram after 1 week. it was interesting that he and thomas were the only ones getting carries and i think could mean more opportunities for ingram this season. the saints were down early and abandoned the run early, i don't think just looking at his stat line does him justice here. i think there's reason to be optimistic and i wouldn't drop him unless there's someone you can count on out there.

Nah, Thomas would get most of the catches Sproles gets (although not as many since Thomas isn't as quick and elusive as Sproles), not Ingram.
No he didn't. He still can't catch. The guy dropped a couple balls. The reason he got more yards was because he has outside runs, the only thing he has over Redman. He was getting stuffed down the middle just as much as Redman. Redman's a way better pass blocker too. With that injured line, I'd expect Redman to actually be in more just to block.I'd stay away from that backfield unless Mendy is available and there's a bench spot available for him to wait a couple of weeks.

I disagree a bit here - he didn't exactly look like a franchise back but he ran hard and determined (more effectively than Redman for the most part) and ground out a few extra yards here and there when he could have been stopped for less. Didn't show enough for me to be truly excited about him though. And yes, that backfield is a bit of a mess really.

Turning around and getting a hand on a ball behind your back is not a drop.

Have you seen that saints D? They will always be down or needing to score to secure a win'werdnoynek said:

Agreed. I drafted Hillman in the 12th round of a 15 round draft. I ended up dropping him last week for Alfred Morris. Was hoping he'd show a lot more in preseason. I think he's worth keeping around in those super deep leagues where you can roster 20 guys, but not in a normal league where you only have 5 or 6 bench spots. Definitely worth keeping an eye on, but tough to be too excited about him this season. *Obviously someone to hold on to in Dynasty Leagues.

Surprised with the impatience with Titus Young. He had a pretty solid second half last year. The Lions were raving about him during mini camps. I don't know, just seems a little early to cut bait on a guy who has shown he can produce. I think he bounces back.I will probably be looking to replaceewill DwyerRWilsonTitus youngWith:SanchezS HillMcclusterD jones

Considering STL Steve Smith, Kendall Wright, and David Wilson. Ultimately, probably keeping Wilson, 50/50 on Wright, and slightly leaning towards giving Smith one more week. Depends what pops up on waivers, I never look until Tuesday, not getting the feeling much is out there though.

I'm more optimistic about Wilson than Locker, Wilson got the shaft from his WR's all day long, Locker didn't look good before getting injured. Not saying drop Locker instead, but I'd look for another drop option than one of those 2. Let a couple more weeks play out then settle on a backup, or if they both correct maybe work a trade.

I agree. Young was generally overdrafted because of camp hype and expectations, but he was a good risk based on talent and system, despite the poor first week. What if he started with 3 great games in a row, and then laid an egg Week 4? Do you cut him then? Just as good of a chance that he follows yesterday up with 3 strong games. If you get to week 3 and Burleson hasn't ceded ground on the #2 job, maybe reassess. But I don't see any other WR on the wire I would rather have than him.Surprised with the impatience with Titus Young. He had a pretty solid second half last year.

Drop Little like he drops passes.
I don't see any reason to hold Ingram. I don't think he's worth a roster spot in redraft at this point.
I think it may be a little premature to drop T. Young. Did he even play the whole game? I read something about him getting a penalty in the first half and then maybe they sat him or limited him in the second? He's on a high powered offense and there's a chance he gets his eventually. That's why he's considered a possible sleeper. You hold him for a little and monitor the situation. Wouldn't drop him after one game.

Ah. Good catch. He was benched from the end of the first half on according to this article. Here's a link.http://detroit.sbnation.com/detroit-lions/2012/9/10/3308166/titus-young-janoris-jenkins-lions-rams
Worth holding another week or two to see how things shake out with Burleson but the knucklehead factor is troubling.

Austin Collie. Something is up with these head injuries- Collie really wanted to play, the team let him practice and seemed high on him, then he doesn't even dress. Look at how Best was treated in Detroit, similar. My money says this is pressure from the League, and more than a strong suggestion. Any players with concussion issues this season, watch out.
