Who are you dropping for your waiver wire super sleeper? (1 Viewer)

[whodeywhodey]

If you are like me you drafted at least a few of your leagues at least a week ago.

So who have you dropped this week and why?

I recently dropped Droughns for Chatman. Had to get in ahead of the curve should he be named the starter (outside shot, i know - but i think its likely that he shares a lot of carries). At this point I love the upside of Chatman while I think that Droughns is only valuable to the Jacobs owner - and even then just barely.

i disagree here. droughns will be seeing carries every game (anywhere from 1-10). derrick ward, while he may be a crowd pleasing darkhorse, isn't quite there yet. droughns is an accomplished back (first 1000yd rusher in cleveland in a LONG time) - he'll get something whereas chatman has been a pile of nothing and i think cameron is blowing smoke.

Not to turn this into a Droughns thread but the staff asked him to gain weight to play some fullback this season. Not exactly what I want to hear. While Droughns may be a team player, he's not the player I want on my team.

Reuben Droughns-RB- Giants Aug. 28 - 2:57 pm et Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Reuben Droughns will play fullback on a consistent basis."He plays some running back, some fullback, he plays them both," Coughlin said. Droughns is up to 231 pounds, apparently in anticipation of his new role. This makes him less attractive in all fantasy leagues. We'd stay away.

Reuben Droughns-RB- Giants Aug. 28 - 10:33 am et The Giants will use Reuben Droughns at fullback in their preseason finale.The team is looking for a stopgap with Robert Douglas (knee surgery) out. Droughns has experience at the position and if he plays well, could stay there. That would make him a less intriguing handcuff for Brandon Jacobs.

About the best thing out there in my league is Garrard...

I ended up with Jacobs in all 3 of my leagues. Droughns has no value to me. I would rather take a flyer on Chatman (or anyone else) than handcuff Droughns.

I'm picking up Selvin Young wherever I can as well. Henry dinged up and you gotta love that plug-in-play in Denver.

waived DeDe Dorsey for Kenton Keith

whatever redraft sleeper value Mike Walker & Ken Darby had in my eyes has evaporated.

Visanthe Shiancoe was a very deep sleeper and still is I guess but the signing of Garrett Mills from New England makes me watch that situation a little more closely.

What's the story on this kid?
