Who have you been patient with? (1 Viewer)

[timschochet]

I drafted the following players, and kept them on my bench, patiently waiting:

Brandon Jacobs

Kevin Jones

Santonio Holmes

I resisted the temptation to trade or dump any of these guys, and actually took a couple of losses early that I could of avoided if I had more bench room.

Now, I believe that my patience has finally paid off, and these 3 guys will help me run the table all the way to the championship (I hope!)

I am also keeping Selvin Young on my bench with the same hope that he will eventually emerge...

Who have you hidden away on your bench, waiting for them to pay off?

 

[Mr. Sparkle]

Lee Evans!!!!!!

 

[buzzhunter]

Lee Evans!!!!!!

Starting him with confidence!

 

[Road Warriors]

KJ & LJ

Hopefully Chris Henry will help out down the stretch.

 

[laughinboy_2000]

I never thought I would type this?

Marvin Harrison?

I've had patience with him, but it's starting to wear thin!

 

[The Shizzle]

Demetrius Williams

Santonio Holmes

Jerious Norwood

 

[soonerspace]

KJ

Rivers

Gore

Do you think Atlanta will finally give Norwood some carries? He's another guy on my bench, added as part of a bigger trade, but I might not be able to afford keeping him unless I was pretty sure he would produce...

 

[Bermuda_Chub]

Ashley Lelie.

Just kidding.

 

[Jedeye]

Tatem Bell.

One of these days a coach will find a ploy that actually works for him.

 

[Sack-Religious]

I don't see how you could be "waiting patiently" on Santonio Holmes. He's had a BYE and an inactive due to a hamstring tweak in warmups.

2-55 - 1 TD

3-53

3-49

Inactive

BYE

6-128- 2 TD

6-54- 1TD

One outsanding game, 2 solid games and 3 somewhat disappointing games is hardly something to be patient with, IMO. In PPR leagues, he was generally drafted as a WR3 and his 8 and 7 point weeks occur often for most WR3's.

That being said, guys on my rosters who I've been patient with:

Lee Evans

Andre Johnson

Javon Walker

Rudi Johnson

DJ Hackett

Calvin Johnson

Kevin Jones

Laurence Maroney

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

why would Holmes be on your bench? they guy has been solid.

Mine:

Colston

 

[Warpig]

LJ

Brees

Maroney

 

[Sabertooth]

Sjax!

 

[timschochet]

Holmes was on my bench because I had Steve Smith as a starter, along with TO. I was deficeint in other areas, so Holmes starting to put up very good numbers allowed me to trade Smith for a better QB (Peyton Manning, part of a larger trade.)Now I put Holmes in Smith's slot, and I'm hoping I don't see any great loss in production.

I have been keeping Norwood too. I just can't drop him. But I am convinced that he won't see more carries unless Dunn gets hurt. Norwood has beat Dunn in every offensive stat but that still doesn't get him more carries. Yes, he is bad at pass protection. I never thought that would be enough to keep him off the field but I was wrong.

 

[timschochet]

Tatem Bell.One of these days a coach will find a ploy that actually works for him.

Yeah, you'd have to be pretty patient to have Bell on your bench.I think even Methuselah dumped Bell from his fantasy team...

If Norwood is not so good as pass protection, well, so what? We're not exactly talking about a high powered offense here, are we? I don't see the Falcon QB's with tons of time to throw right now (not that I watch them a lot, thank goodness!) How much worse could it possibly get? They should put the kid in.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

dont forget Hackett - whether it was Obomanu or Courtney Taylor, the guy in Hackett's spot has been getting deep targets, end zone targets - I have a good feeling that Hackett will convert where the youngins have failed.

Tatem Bell.One of these days a coach will find a ploy that actually works for him.

I think you mean Job. Methuselah picked Vinny Testaverde in the first year of his dynasty league.

 

[Buttmonkey]

Randy Moss; kept one receiver the last 5 years for my dynasty team; after last season with Oakland - considered dropping him (glad I didn't).

 

[Sleeper 43]

Andre Johnson.

I would Javon too but he gave me the "Oki Doke" and is out AGAIN

 

[Trap Play]

Jerricho Cotchery. :(

 

[chuckmorris]

SJax and Jacobs. Time for both of 'em to start rewarding my patience with some points.

 

[TxBuckeye]

KJ and Jacobs. KJ isn't starting this week quite yet. But I defintely plugged in Jacobs.

 

[ShadowMaster]

I'm waiting for Travis Henry to hit paydirt a few times in one game (before he is suspended)

 

[EBF]

I've had Roethlisberger on all 5 of my dynasty teams for a while. I've been touting his prospects for years, so it's nice to see him gradually inching his way up towards the elite ranks. I'm looking forward to the fireworks Sunday against the Bengals.

 

[Steel Town]

Laurence Maroney. Resisted the urge to deal him, and am hopeful that he starts to be productive.

I am really thinking about trading for Maroney, a buy low. I've got a feeling that Bellichick will start running a lot more in November and December. Maroney could be huge come fantasy playoff time.

 

[ceo3west]

Willie Parker..

And before everyone tells me about his yardage, 1 TD for a first round pick 7 games in just plain sucks. Here's hoping for a second half explosion.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Willie Parker

Travis Henry

Santonio Holmes

Brandon Jacobs

Waiting..............waiting...........and waiting.....................

All of those guys are on your bench?

No, but that doesn't mean I haven't been waiting for the payoff.

 

[MCguidance]

Mark Clayton

DJ Hackett (well got him two weeks ago, so not really)

Sjax

 

[mcnabbmcnow]

For me: Brandon Jacobs and Santonio Holmes. One guy I have been patient with that might NOT pay off is Todd Heap.

 

[EdwardCat]

Drew Brees

Others of note:

Jerious Norwood

Selvin Young

and yes...

Marvin Harrison. If he's not playing this week, you can officially write him off this year. Half the season is nearly gone and he's done little to nothing.

 

[ATRAIN56]

Benson

 

[PsychoMan]

Benson

Me to.Him and Ahman Green ... and I was patient with Caddy ... and now that my RB corps sucks so bad I'm patiently waiting for Addai/Rudi/SJax to go down for good so I have another starter on my squad.

Huh? WTF are you waiting for? Jacobs has been great, so has Holmes, and so has Parker.

Parker - can't find the end zone.Henry - can't find the bong.Holmes - the best of the (4) in relative value terms.Jacobs - he is only a week removed from being pulled at the goal line for Reuben Droughns.As for what I am waiting for? A win.

 

[JuSt CuZ]

What slapper would draft Colston over Housh, Moss, and Burress N E ways???Wait my stupid ###!!! :X <---YEAH, ALL OF THEM!!!

 

[bcr8f]

KJ & LJHopefully Chris Henry will help out down the stretch.

Same here along with Lendale White and even Michael Bush.

Still holding out hope for Chris Henry and Colston on one team, and Colston and Maroney on another.

The universal icon of truth!

 

[Captain Spaulding]

Roddy White. I've been carrying him for 3 years on dynasty team and it looks like he may finally be coming around. So many times I've come close to waiving him (like to make roster space for an injury pickup or bye week or something) but always decided to pass on waiving him for some other bum on my team. Hopefully he'll emerge at least as a top 20 WR for a few years. I'd be happy with that.

 

[BringItOn]

Colston and to a lesser extent

Parker ( Lack of TD's), and Gore, lack of carries for his draft position.

 

[Tommy Collins]

McNabb.. wish he was 75% of what he was last year

 

[redman]

McNabb.. wish he was 75% of what he was last year

He's single-handedly destroyed a strong redraft team of mine, and been a major contributor on the destruction of a half-decent dynasty squad too.
