Week 4 Drops (1 Viewer)

[Kenny Powers]

I can't believe anyone would drop John Brown right now. I would hold DWill as well, anyone can get hurt in this league and he has shown he can produce.

If Brown got dropped, I would be all over picking him up.

Alshon got dropped in my league. I'm trying to decide if he's a chump for dropping him or I'm the chump for trying to pick him up...

I don't care how small your league is, Al has to be rosteted. I have been trying my ### off to trade for him this week with no luck.

He definitely shouldn't be dropped, thats asinine, but Im not targetting him for trades. Bears look like a wasteland this year and Alshon's injury could hamper him all year.

 

[ImTheScientist]

I personally love this week in FF because I scoop up guys that people give up on too fast. I see a more than a few guys names here I hope get released in my leagues.

Well this is it. You have his health plus Cutler plus the general #### show that's going on there. He could amount to very little this year...

I should say trade for on the cheap hoping the owner feels like you and wants to get out. That hasn't been the case.

Thinking about dropping Romo to pick up Carr. Was going to try to save Romo for a playoff run but Carr is looking really good on the wire. Already have Newton as my 2nd qb filling in nicely so far. Don't like Carr's week 5 match up against the Broncos though so would need to also pick up Alex Smith for week 5 match up vs.the Bears.

IMO, Id just hold with Cam & Romo...If you didnt have a good backup, then yeah drop Romo for Carr.

Going into week 5, with Newton on bye and no back up qb, I like Smith at home against the Bears much more than Carr on road against Denver. Was thinkingI would just make a move to pick up Smith for one week and hold Romo. Would drop Christine Michael for Smith. Then roll with Newton as weekly start until Romo comes back.

I was just looking at Carr doing good and thinking he is a good insurance piece as a back up to Newton since Romo is not back for 6 to7 more weeks.

The alternative is that I can drop Christine Michael for Carr and roll the dice with him against Denver and hold him the rest of the way along with Romo rather than do a one week rental with Smith and give up Romo.

Torrey Smith. 12 team PPR.

 

[Kevrunner]

I dropped Bridgewater, 12 team league, there will always be a bum available in the waiver wire I will have more confidence in rolling with than Teddy. GTFOH Teddy!

 

[SameSongNDance]

Charles Johnson, 10-team standard

Brandon Coleman (does anyone care?), 12-team, PPR, keeper

Bilal Powell (only if I can get Rawls, I don't own Ivory), 12-team, PPR

 

[Loipz]

Alshon got dropped in my league. I'm trying to decide if he's a chump for dropping him or I'm the chump for trying to pick him up...

Same thing happened in my 12 team non ppr. The guy is certainly no shark though. I gladly got him after waivers. My buddy was 1 waiver spot short. He's pissed.

 

[bucksoh]

Brian Quick 3 weeks of being a healthy scratch.

 

[Truebluey]

I like to pick up some emerging talent at this point in the season.

12 team ppr with 6 bench spots start 2rb 2wr 1 flex 1te.

Would you drop Doug Martin or Bilall Powell this week?

 

[lsufan]

Guy in my work league tried to drop Jeremy Hill. Hill is on the can't cut list(for a reason I may add lol). Yahoo league. Guy in my league offered Chris Johnson RB ARI for Jeremy Hill and he accepted. I had no clue he was trying to drop Hill or I would have sent him a trade offer. I play with a bunch of noobs so I wasn't shocked. The kicker is the guy that offered Chris Johnson has Andre Ellington lol.

Missed opportunity on my part. Trade may get down voted but I do play with a bunch of noobs.

 

[davearm]

Brandon Coleman last week

This week Algohor, Wheaton, Dolphins.

Then name them genius.

 

[Short Corner]

This thread is a good idea, but it's only helpful to know who you are dropping if we know your league size and scoring.

For instance it's way more significant to drop d. Adams in a league with deep benches than one with shallow benches.

It's way more significant to drop duke Johnson in a pot league than standard.

It's a thinly veiled buy-low thread.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Thinking of dropping doug Martin for lance Dunbar. 12 team full PPR. Tampa sucking and Charles sims really seem to put a cap on Martin's value, even though it seems like he is running fairly well.

 

[psu007]

Dropped J.Bell last week, planning to drop Ertz, just not sure for what yet.

 

[mphtrilogy]

my team is horrible, i can probably drop half my drafted roster and pick up guys off the waiver wire who would be better..

cooks, bradford, jhill, j brown, brees,

no, i'm not gonna drop any of these guys as my waiver wire has now been pretty well been picked clean, these guys will just slowly bleed me to death week to week with minimal to no production...

i love watching john brown, but I think i got him one year too early, i will still start him, and still be patient, but man hes been a bust so far as far as real fantasy production

cooks i was way too high on, i don't know why, i just thought pre-season he was going to be amazing, i passed on hopkins for him.. sheesh that looks beyond awful now...

bradford, i wish i never saw that 10-10 pre-season game, he is a bum

brees, ugh, i love the guy, hes won me two fantasy championships, but i shoulda passed on him to anchor my qbs when graham was traded, he and cooks have killed me

j hill, what a tease from week 1, he might come back in cold weather, but right now its a huge rbbc and he will be an iffy start until gio gets dinged..

one of those years for me... hoping to turn the corner when a foster comes back... and my d lewis pickup might pay off for now... 0-3 and counting...

out of these guys, bradford is defintely droppable...

 

[BobbyLayne]

Dropped Ertz week 1. He's still there.

Dropped Torrey Smith week 2. Of course he blew up so somebody nabbed him and started him week 3. Goose egg for you, pal.

Dropped Reuben Randle week 3. Of course he blew up so somebody nabbed him and will start him week 4. GLWT, hope it works out for ya.

Dropped Roddy White this week. You might want to pick him because he's probably going off this weekend.

 

[LittlePhatty]

Josh Hill - he's the only offensive player I've dropped. So much for the "stepping into Graham's role" talk.

 

[Banger]

had to drop Deangelo Williams to make my roster legal before the season, then Matt Jones week 1, this week I dropped Tannehill and Duke Johnson...so basically you can start Tannehill and Duke with confidence this weekend based on my previous drop history.

 

[Don Quixote]

Cleaned house in one of my leagues this week... dropped Wheaton, Michael, Agholor, and Bridgewater. Probably waited too long to drop some of those guys. Picked up M.Jones, Hurns, Ginn, and bye week kicker. 12 team league with 6 player bench; my team was turning into an infirmary with McCoy, Watkins, and Coleman all likely out this week.

 

[Insein]

I dropped Michael Floyd week 2. Not regretting it.

 

[DocHolliday]

I have already dropped Josh Hill, Charles Johnson, and Kap. Good riddance.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Wish I could drop Forsett.



No trade value, he's deadweight in the lineup, and I keep rolling him out there.

(AA, D. Johnson, M. Jones, Spiller, Sproles)

 

[We Tigers]

I dropped Vereen for Karlos Williams in one league with short benches. I think it's safe to shuffle off committee backs like him or Duke Johnson if you can grab a strong shorter term prospect, and if you're suffering through problems with CJ Anderson, Forsett, etc. Joique's getting work but looks terrible, so he could go too.

I've seen lots of disappointing veteran receivers hit the wire in that league, as well. Colston and Roddy are currently looking for work and made it through waivers unclaimed. Once you start finding guys like Rishard Matthews or Moncrief, you really can start treating your mid-round picks like your late round flyers.

 

[Lascelle]

My drops this week (so far)...

- Fred Jackson (16-Team, 0.5 PPR) for Thomas Rawls

- Nate Washington (16-Team, 0.5 PPR) for Maxx Williams

- Crockett Gillmore (16-Team Standard) for Maxx Williams (no bench flexibility due to byes)

- Teddy Bridgewater (16-Team Standard) for Ladarius Green (see above)

- Matt Prater (16-Team Standard) for Josh Lambo

- Miami D/ST (16-Team Standard) for San Diego D/ST

- Brandon Coleman (16-Team Standard) for Rishard Matthews

- Texans D/ST (10-Team PPR) for Marvin Jones

- Doug Martin (10-Team PPR) for Rishard Matthews

 

[shadyridr]

J. Bell

yep i cut him

 

[Franknbeans]

Past weeks: Bridgewater, RMatthews, Cruz, ChJohnson, BColeman

This week: AJ

10 team keeper

 

[cubbie5150]

In one league I dropped Joique

In another league, I have blind bids out dropping both Victor Cruz & Duke Johnson.

 

[KellysHeroes]

Drop L Green and Picked up Gates in 3 leagues. Also gave up on Crowell

 

[thecardiackid]

dropped f jackson for antonio andrews (no clue why sankey is fading after his first game)

dropped devante parker for hankerson (may regret this if paker goes ODB in a month, but no confidence in MIA)

wanted clay but was 9 / 14. if taylor doesn't get hurt running around clay might be very good.

 

[Rimez]

dropped crow for alfred blue (foster owner), even isaiahs mom wouldnt trade for him after that raiders game.

the league taco dropped forsett and martavis bryant, in 1st with 10/10 waiver so its doubtful i grab one.

 

[TZMarkie]

You know, everyone's situation is different, and I realize that.

All waiver wires are not created equal.

But in most leagues it seems as though the RBs are the more prized commodities, can we not all agree on that?

I have seen several people in this thread mention dropping Crowell. (NOTE: I am not singling any one of you out, but follow below)

At this point, Crowell is still pretty much the "starter" on his team.

Turbin is basically an afterthought, or off on the bench somewhere drinking a gin and tonic.

Duke Johnson has proved absolutely nothing, and hasn't looked like he is going to take any work away anytime soon, as far as I can discern.

4 touches for three yards last week??????

I know we can't depend on Crowell for much, but I can certainly believe that he is a must hold at this point, unless you are essentially loaded with better scenarios.

I don't see him as anything you can realistically get anything for at this point, his value is almost zero. But his situation has value, does it not?

I can see him as a possible "low end RB2" in a few starts this year.

Who knows, maybe he starts picking up a little steam in the meantime.

I'm not super high on the guy, but just cutting bait on this one seems like a bit of a panic move.

[Rimez]

depends on your roster but he was the worst player on my 10 team roster. he sucked at home against the raiders, so i dont see him tearing it up against the chargers on the road followed by the ravens, rams, broncos, cards, and bengals. in the FF playoffs he is on the road against seahawks and chiefs. browns are going to be down big against a lot of these playoff teams so it will be the duke johnson show.

I dropped him weeks ago in a standard 10 team league and didn't look back (much). He has been picked up since. I just think he will split carries in a low scoring offense and that he will be non-relevant by the end of year.

I might get burned but I would rather get burned chasing other players deep on my bench rather than what I see there. He will likely knock me out of the playoffs.

Nuff said.

He's the worst player on my roster (10 team) as well, and with guys like Marvin Jones and Rishard Matthews on the wire Crowell is expendable. It's not like this is a guy with a great pedigree on a good team who has earned the patience of his fantasy owners.

I get what you are saying, trust me.

But I am of the "no backup QB, no backup TE, and only 1 extra WR to cover bye weeks or in the event of injury" kind of school of drafting. (I'm not here to debate the backup QB point, this has been a horrible year, and is an outlier)

We do play 3WRs so 4WRs is all I ever get unless a goldmine falls into my lap.

Point is, I do nothing but load my bench full of RB lottery tickets.

I don't necessarily think of Crowell as a true "lottery ticket" like Hillman or Ryan Mathews, as obviously his upside is capped.

But I do see 3-5 games down the road where he may be a possible spot start RB2.

I don't like cutting that loose onto the wire in my leagues.

I'd rather hear another owner say "why are you hoarding up all the RBs bro???, I need some for my bye weeks"

I've never been a fan of holding some wr5 type on my bench that will never play. All he does is clog up another RB spot or handcuff spot in my opinion.

But what do I know....................

Bradford was dropped in both my leagues. One by myself
