Week 2 DROP THREAD (1 Viewer)

[The Hank]

Going to dump Greg Little for Donald Jones.

 

[CrazyFox]

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.sbnat...kins-lions-rams

Worth holding another week or two to see how things shake out with Burleson but the knucklehead factor is troubling.

Thanks for posting that. I had read something about him doing something stupid and the coach not being happy about it but didn't know all the details for sure.

So according to that he sat the entire second half. I'd give him at least a couple of full games before deciding if he's worth dropping.

I agree that the knucklehead factor in today's NFL is a little worrisome.

Evan RoysterEven though he is "1st on the depth chart".

and the "third stringer" is the one who has the monster day...

Did you guys miss that Morris was named the starter on Saturday? Shame on you

 

[packersfan]

Jacquizz Rodgers. A non-factor when the game was in doubt. My league has tight roster limits and I can't afford to keep him with legitimate producers available on the WW this week.

Bills D/STI was wrong, I was so incredibly wrong.

Way to go FBG for pimping these guys

Jon Baldwin (redraft)

Ronnie Hillman (redraft)

I will probably be looking to replaceewill DwyerRWilsonTitus youngWith:SanchezS HillMcclusterD jones

I wouldn't do all of that. I'd drop DWill for McCluster....but the rest of your pick-ups are speculative. Dwyer is the best option in that backfield 4.8 ypc and can catch the ball - if Mendenhall doesn't come back soon he could seize that job before the bye, unless coach is just stacked against him. You got bigger huevos than I if you can trust Sanchez to deliver the ball to Hill consistently over the course of a season...same thing with Fitzpatrick to Jones....I'd take Stevie Styles any day of Santonio Holmes.....

I agree with Hillman? What happened to this guy? He did pretty well in the preseason no?

Cant block, cant play with Manning.

pass protections sucks which says a lot considering moreno is awful

Dangerously close to dropping Greg Little after seeing that stinkbomb from weeden

The only Browns skill player worth starting this season is going to be Phil Dawson. Epic battle for title of biggest trainwreck of an offense and I am not sure who won. Hate it for TRich. Next game should be better but in that offense, RB3 is probably the ceiling.

No. Was hurt almost the whole time and had one decent game week 4 against scubs.

Did you guys miss that Morris was named the starter on Saturday? Shame on you

Yes, I have to admit, I missed the news that Morris was named the starter on Saturday...

 

[Warrior]

Morris was named the starter a day or two before the game, got basically all of the carries, and then did very well from a fantasy perspective. Yes, Royster is droppable.

Going to dump Greg Little for Donald Jones.

Funny, Little dropped the ball now he's being dropped.

Way to go FBG for pimping these guys

Everyone did...I have been a Sirius subscriber fr 7+ years and almost called for the first time today to discuss their miss on that DEF...Frankly, there is no defense for that stance (no pun intended)...no one will say the Jets are world beaters (and even as a Jets fan, I know this), yet I highly doubt anyone will be willing to eat crow on this too. Frankly, the AFC East is just what we thought it was in December 2011...Pats are elite, Jets are next (by a good margin, Bills will scrape a mediocre season together and the Phins will put up 3-4 wins.

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.

You might regret this one. The different teams are all over the place with their approach on this issue, and each concussion case is unique. Most believed Witten wouldn't play and then this crazy story breaks that he is ready to sign a waiver releasing the team doctors of liability in order to play this past Wednesday. My read on the Collie situation is that the team just chose to be extra cautious and sit the guy from a full contact game one more week. Nothing more, nothing less. I wouldn't drop him purely on the basis of that situation. In Collie's case, I think his team doctors were supported by a reasonable (albeit goofy) owner. In Witten's case, the Doctor's got vetoed by a player who wanted to play too much and an owner who likely agreed with the player more than he listened to team doctors.

I'm wavering on Dwyer. Don't want to do anything rash, as he may still emerge, but they definitely favoured Redman today and didn't look all that committed to giving Dwyer the chance to take the job. Dwyer did look pretty good in his limited touches though.

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.

Regardless if you think Dwyer looked good or not, he certainly looked a lot better than Redman.Dwyer: 9/43, 2/11 (4 targets)

Redman: 11/20, 2/7 (2 targets)

Dwyer's near TD run (knee scraped the turf around the 2yd line) displayed exactly why he should get the lion's share of the carries. Redman couldnt imagine the vision it took on that run to create it. The PIT coaching staff is nuts if Dwyer isnt getting 75% of the carries next week, but we will have to wait and see. I certainly wouldnt drop him at this point, not to mention his production was essentially all in the 2nd half as Redman was out there most of the 1st half. Another reason to expect Dwyer to see more touches next week.

 

[Funkley]

Daniel Thomas. Liked his low cost in drafts, but a fumble, head injury, and an even more anemic than expected offense? Adios.

[Kenny Powers]

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 have Wright on 2/3 teams, Wilson on 1. TEN's targets were very spread out (5 guys with 6+), but Wright was 1 who got 6 and caught 5 of them. If theyre that spread out again, I probably would consider dropping him, but I at least want to see what he does for 1 wk if not 2 with Britt on the field. Wilson Im not even considering dropping, he's hit rock bottom, and he didnt even really get a chance to show anything. I wouldnt even consider dropping him for another month when we'll have a better idea about how the NYG carry split is going and if Wilson is productive.As for Steve Smith, I dropped Hillman last week after hearing Moreno was the backup. My plan was to pick up WR who has a nice chance at a big game week 1 and a likely WW candidate after this weekend, final 2 choices were Smith and Streater (wish I didnt forget about Stephen Hill!!!). I went with Streater, but either way, I didnt see anything from Smith to make me regret that choice and Id drop him, at this point Amendola and Gibson look like theyre top 2, which may be good for Smith back in the slot, but I dont see him as fantasy viable in that offense. Im going to do the same with Streater if he has a quiet game.

I agree that the knucklehead factor in today's NFL is a little worrisome.

Young's hype and ADP were a bit of a headscratcher to me. Burleson was and is still the #2 on their depth chart, and had a pretty solid year last year. Did people just expect him to turn into a 35yr old Donald Driver this season or something?! Stafford wont be throwing for 5000yds again this year, Im pretty sure of that, and likely less attempts. In general, the production of the WRs/TEs should go down a bit with the possible exception of Megatron, so I have a hard time seeing Young have a big year.That said, his pricetag was pretty high, plus he only played a half apparently, so I would be cutting him for another couple weeks if he was on my team.

In Witten's case, the Doctor's got vetoed by a player who wanted to play too much and an owner who likely agreed with the player more than he listened to team doctors.

Any other time i'd agree, but my point is suddenly odd things are happening in two high profile concussion cases. And by 'odd' I mean nobody seems to be able to point to a doctors report for either Collie or Best disqualifying them. To the contrary, Collie was practicing last week. Maybe its conspiracy theory, but I think the league is pulling some strings on this concussion issue. Its potentially a liability NIGHTMARE down the road. It would be a public relations nightmare if a guy with that kind of concussion history gets lit up on national television and permanently damaged.

 

[tkrull]

Dumping Ronnie Hillman most likely. Clearly 4th string since he was inactive. He may have an impact later in the season, but I'd rather cut him, take a shot on a guy who had a big week hoping that continues. I don't see many people picking Hillman up at this point.

This for Stephen Hill.
