Backed into a Corner: Roster Help Badly Needed

[just_want_2_win 0]

My 4-1 team (roster in signature) isn't really as good as it's record. I am just lucking out and playing some bad teams right now. Injuries and byes are doing a number on me now. Also, my league doesn't allow trades so all work is via WW.

 

I am in a corner this week. I need another WR to have a legal lineup, or a TE. (Starting requirements also in signature.)

 

I dropped Harrison to get Keith (crazy but I worked, I won and have won 4 straight) just prior to the game as some Rotoworld news at the time had him with a sprained knee not just a bruise (now supposedly he could've played if it was the playoffs, who knows what to believe), he's on bye week 6, and has been disappointing so far. I also figured WRs are easier to find than are RBs. I could've released AJ instead but I just picked him up and felt he had more upside than Harrison once back. Driver and Marshall were in my lineup and I couldn't drop them without disqualifying my team.

 

KJ is out on bye, as is Addai/Keith.

 

So I need to make a decision...I still need one more WR for this week. I play a bad team (0-5) BUT his lineup recovers this week possibly:

QB: Bulger

RBs: Jacobs, Rudi, Maroney, Norwood

WR/TEs: Chambers, Coles, R. Williams, T. Gonzalez

K: Rackers

D: Bears

 

So I need opinions. Do I keep Keith? Addai should be back week 7 but though not a fan of handcuffing it looks like Keith might be an important guy to keep. Do I drop Big Ben and figure to roll with Palmer the rest of the way? Do I drop Ward or Benson or Taylor or KJ? If so I can get another WR but I still probably can't get back Harrison since he's on bye and doesn't help me this week. WRs on the WW include:

 

Porter

Engram

Stallworth

James Jones

Jacoby Jones

Mason

Northcutt

Sucks that you had to drop Harrison. I think despite his poor performance starting out, he's too valuable to leave out there for the vultures.

 

Put a gun to my head, and I'd probably drop KJ and Big Ben and try to get Harrison and Stallworth. The fact that you're 4-1 means you probably won't get a high waiver priority. Nevertheless, those are the guys I'd try to get. I also wouldn't drop Keith just yet until the Addai situation is sussed out.

 

Hope that helps. Now, maybe you can help me out...

Drop Big Ben. You can always pick up another QB later if needed. Pick up Mason-Even the Ravens should be able to score on the Rams. And they're playing at home.

 

Here's mine.

WR-wise Mason is the must have. So many looks...can't ask for more than that.

 

I'd drop Ward at this point. Jacobs is back in a big way (literally).

If you're not going to start Big Ben over Palmer (haven't look at schedules but even as well as Big Ben has been playing I don't think I bench Palmer...ever) then it's okay to drop him.

I would look at mason. He is consistant 8 rec for 80 yards, will squeek out a TD here and there.

Porter is also a possibility, Culpepper seems to like him and he has TD potential. I would drop Ward, jacobs has the job now.

Drop Ben add Mason. Easy

Drop Ben add Mason. Easy

i think after last week Porter merits serious consideration

Wait, Marvin Harrison is on the WW?... I would drop Big Ben and KJ and pick up Harrison and Mason for sure if you can.

 

Thanks for help with mine.

Agreed. This is your best bet, as you wouldn't bench Palmer unless he is injured.

I agree with this although I might go with dropping Benson instead of KJ and I would consider Porter over Mason although Mason is probably the safer bet.

drop benson and pick up mason.

I'd drop Keith and add Mason. He's good for 6-8 catches for 60-90 yards each week.

I agree with this. Definitely get back Harrison for future and Mason for this week.
