Im growing real impatient w/ Odel Beckham. The worst part is that it could be one of them situations akin to first impressions are lasting impressions. I mean I figure this guy could/should be a real game-changer especially in return yardage Leagues (could of been, its probably someones job now) But What the ... Nearly four weeks into the Season, and hes not practicing. Shouldn't the Docs/GMEN know this was gonna happen and placed him on pup list or something. Did the Giants lose out on having an additional player on the 53?
Anyway Im freakin short an IDP now, and it pains me to think that Odel is probably the weakest Link? I mean I expected an easier drop, someone like Christin who imo is growing old(er) on the BN Or McKinnon How was I too figure No AD!!
I mean I understand its in my best interest to drop someone, and go for the Win. This is just odd/strange to me. I mean I drafted CJ Mosley ahead of Odel, but only because I knew that others would desire Mosely a bit more. I mean I was figuring Odel did more for my team this Season than my 1st rnd pick Evans.
p.s. I realize ya probably was hoping for a redraft name, much less all the ranting/reasoning so my apologies..

Damn near my entire roster. What an abomination of a team I have in a new salary cap league I joined.
RG3 - yes, actually thinking about dropping him. He will never be worth the 9 million I am paying him.
Christine Michael - bought into the hype with him and paid for it. He's my highest paid RB and isn't even active for games. Losing faith. But hey, "there's always next year! (again)"
J-Stew and Toby Gerhart - useless and worthless. All that preseason hype for Gerhart and either he sucks, the line sucks, or both. And J-Stew...injured yet again.
Hakeem Nicks and Kenny Stills - Hakeem Nicks is just not getting the looks in that offense. Too inconsistent to be in a starting lineup. Stills was supposed to be making a move to be the #2 option in the NO passing game. He can't stay healthy either and is also too inconsistent.
Dennis Pitta - may never play football again. What is he...89 years old? My grandparents have stronger hips than he does!
Akiem Hicks - this was another guy that was in line for "a monster year"...he's been invisible.
J. Cyprien - so much hype, so little production in the box scores.
Needless to say, I am 0 - 3 in this league and I'm looking to rebuild already.

He's one of the other RBs I dropped in favor of Benny Cunningham. Trying to go with youth over name players.
But when healthy, Decker is the 1st option there and will get a lot of targets.
Matthews is still the 3rd receiver in Philly and there are many other receivers there too (Ertz, Sproles, McCoy, etc.)
At least that's the way i'm looking at it...

What did you spend the other $191 of the $200 budget on?
Cutting loose Ben Tate and Torrey Smith in some short bench leagues. Holding everybody else, it's only week 3. Not a good week for WW pickups with a lot of the worthwhile guys on bye in Week 4 (unless you have deeper bench and can hold).

I would be worried about how Niles Paul has been looking. He is playing well and has better chemistry with Cousins because they have more reps together in practice. If you have Paul now, and another TE rostered that you can start after Reed gets back and both his and NP's value takes a hit, go for it.
Yeah, I may have to pull the trigger. I actually hedged my bets by acquiring more TEs off waivers and now have both Donnell and Kelce, either who can start. I cannot keep 3 TEs rostered however; our benches are not that deep. I just hate dropping him if he ends up being a Graham type but he just can't stay healthy...

I need a bye week fill in for week 4, but decided to keep him and drop Cook to pick up Owen Daniels for the week.
I think I'm going to drop Chris Johnson instead.
Pretty much anyone who isn't healthy or on a bye =/ Anyone from Decker, to Welker... Ingram to Tate/West/Crowell... Dalton to Russell Wilson.
Actually thought about taking the loss in 2/3 leagues because Week 4 byes will probably be the worst this season w/ a lot of high profile fantasy starters and injuries. Not sure it is worth gambling on the likes of McFadden, Pierre Thomas, Sankey, and Eli to try to eek out a win this week.

What are people's thoughts on Vincent Jackson? Anyone still holding out hope?

I don't have him but might as well see what happens with Glennon for at least 1 week I would think.

Yeah, the guy's had 1100 yards and at least 7TDs in 5 of the last 6 seasons. Not going to pull the plug after just 3 bad games. Certainly is getting frustrating, though. Going to bench him this week, so you know he's going to go off.

Dropped MJD in one league because of the week 5 bye, I only have 5 bench spots. DMC is the starter for the near future anyway.

Dropping Bowe (if I win blind bid) for any one of: Kerley/Marv Jones/Allen Robinson. Not remembering why I drafted that piece of dreck.
Ha ha, basically my exact same situation. Hunter is my WR5 too and I have waiver claims in for PIT and SD.

After supporting Amendola for years in these forums, I finally am done, as is he.

I have my claims in and I'm letting both Ridley and Wright go.
Ridley will be inconsistent at best and I have Pierre as my RB3 right now. I know his ceiling is much lower but he will get me enough points in the weeks that I have to use him, whereas Ridley will probably be up & down all season.
Wright has Justin Hunter throwing to him, no thanks, not anymore at least. It looks like that passing game can get shut down pretty easily. I feel comfortable relying on Greg Jennings to be my WR 3.
These are some tough guys to drop, but any team that rushes to get them hopefully starts them against me when they put up their stinkers.
EDIT: couldn't pull the trigger on Ridley, god help me

Drop that man!!!Mr. Nasty said:
I was in the exact same situation and have cut bait with Brady. Sure he may have some decent games this year, but there's just too much value on the wire to pass up. I love the Wilson / Cousins combo. They're gonna continue to combine for some elite QB production this year.

I hope I don't stay up too late wondering if Taliaferro is going to be the WW add of the year
I'd skip over Taliaferro, I think he's back to the practice squad
Thoughts on dropping Terrance West, Trent Richardson, or Knile Davis? I'm 0-3 and need to stream a defense and tight end or risk falling further into the hole. Leaning towards West and Richardson. I still think Richardson could be good.

I would hold/am holding West.
I wouldn't draft Richardson but if I had him I would trade or drop him.
I don't think he will go back, seeing as Rice is GONE, and not coming back. He showed what he is capable of, Forsett is expendable.

That is the question I'm wondering this week. I'm going back and forth with present opportunity but limited talent (Asiata), need (Larry Donnell) or potential great add (Taliaferro).

I believe situations like this is why the "Pro's" are hesitant to go "QB early", because its akin to the RB position in relationship to next man up. This isn't like WR for instance where the BN guy become the fill-in at the flanker spot.Mr. Nasty said:
I almost think this choice needs its own post, I mean Brady may not be producing now, but is Wilson gonna put out good numbers in the Playoffs? I really doubt anyone can confirm anything for Cousins (imho)
