LJ Smith is injured .. what do I do?

[ramblin'wreck 0]

LJ Smith injured his shoulder during the week 2 game. His status for week 3 is uncertain.

 

If Smith is out this week, what should I do? .. I don't really want to drop anyone from my roster and pick up a replacement TE just for this week. I am sure whoever I drop will get scooped up quickly.

 

FYI: Here is my roster ..

 

QB: Bulger, Warner

RB: L Jordan, C Williams, Dunn, A Green, M Barber

WR: S Moss, D Jackson, D Branch, A Bryant, G Jennings

TE: Heap, LJ Smith

K: Tynes

DEF: IND

 

By the way, my league plays 2 TEs.

 

If Smith is really out and I can't drop anyone, do you think I'll be better of starting just 1 TE this week? Or I could drop Tynes, pick up a TE and start no kicker this week. What do you guys think?

 

Please leave links. I will answer all as always.

I think you either start 1 te or go no kicker. I don't see anyone on your roster besides maybe G. Jennings that would be worth dropping for a 1 week fill-in at te. If Smith is out longer than this week. I would drop Jennings and pick someone up. It really depends on who is available and what your scoring is.

I would never advise anyone to leave a blank spot in their lineup - sometimes it comes down to 1 point, so any live body is better than a sure zero. With that said, looking at your roster I'd drop Jennings and pick up a TE.

I would also drop jennings if smith can't go-- you never want zero at any position

You've got to play to win every week. Drop Jennings. You're never going to play him anyway... And if someone picks him up you have that 1 roster spot to use all year to pick up K and DST if need be.

Thanks for answering mine. I have to go with the consensus ... as much as you hate to do it I would drop Jennings and pick up a TE - even if Smith comes right back, you'll need someone for bye weeks anyway.

I wish I could offer some better advice, but I would really think about dropping Jennings to fill you spot. Taking a zero just isn't worth it unless there is just nobody out there to pick up. You could also look to trade?

call me crazy, and i know im going against the consensus, but if i were to drop someone on your roster, it would be the one guy that doesn't start. Barber. I like Jennings, because you know the Pack will be doing alot of passing and Favre seems to look for him alot! I don't think the demand for Barber would be that high since that spot is essentially Julius Jones'... i think he'll be available next week if you need to pick him up again. Just my 2 cents. thanks for answering mine.
