--==Devastation_Inc.==-- 0 Posted September 26, 2007 Dominic Rhodes was the big off season move for the Raiders... Now that he is coming off his suspension after week #5 what is his value as a debth pick... I have good starters, but i am very slim at RB position... The waiver wire pickings are very weak & bums at best.... I'm looking for anything at this point to help my bench... That's when the thought of Rhodes hit me... He has fallen under the radar right now, but within the next couple weeks some teams make take a shot at him.... Is he worth a flier add on at this point........ If not please give your reason why????? Pleeeeeease leave a comment on this... I would greatly appreciate it !!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoffinglesby 0 Posted September 26, 2007 I'm not sure whether you own Rhodes or can pick him up... There is a lot of talk that Lamont Jordan will lose carries to him... Unfortunately that only changes Jordan's value not Rhodes, unless you have Lamont Jordan... You can always pick him up and try to use him as trade bait for the Jordan owner....

johnyaya 0 Posted September 27, 2007 I'm sitting here debating whether to drop him. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=291000 CONS for Rhodes: not playing this week, bye week next, Jordan has been solid PROS: Raiders are paying him a fair amount and he's high profile, surely they will give him some touches and see what he can do I drafted him hoping I wouldn't need him until mid-season and even then it was a long shot. So yeah, if you've got a stinker you can drop, he's worth the pickup. I wouldn't drop him for someone like Betts, Chester Taylor or Norwood, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
--==Devastation_Inc.==-- 0 Posted September 27, 2007 is he a freebie or are you dropping someone? I would be dropping a bum player that i do not need... What i need most is running back debth so i'm just wondering if a Dominic Rhodes pick now will pay off 2 weeks from now when he comes off suspension???? He's not drafted in our league and has gone under the radar... I know Rhodes was a pretty high profile pick up for the Raiders.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoffinglesby 0 Posted September 27, 2007 Sure pick him up... just don't depend on him... Rhodes was the high profile because Jordan sucked last year... Right now Rhodes is an unknown and could become a RBBC... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bunnerjk 0 Posted September 27, 2007 LaMont Jordan's play has taken over the RB position in Oakland. Rhoades will be lucky to get 3rd down touches IMO!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peterjun21 0 Posted September 27, 2007 I personally think LaMont is injury prone. I'd pick up Rhodes maybe next week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinGoodman 0 Posted September 27, 2007 If you have the roster spot for it stash him away. He's just lottery - you may strike gold and end up with someone with decent playing time, but more likely you'll just have another bust on your hand. Just remember he'll be out two more weeks (bye week is week 5). And, unless something happens to LJordan week 4, Rhodes will not be playable week 6 (Jordan is doing so well I don't see how the Raiders could cut his playing time). If LJordan struggles week 6, hold Rhodes to see how the Raiders respond. If LJordan has success, then you can safely drop Rhodes if there's someone else you need/want to pick up from the waiver wires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont think they got Rhodes to sit him, but I also dont think they will mess with success. So they might sell lamont, but there is no way it will be full rbbc... http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=291497 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pimptastic69 0 Posted September 28, 2007 Jordan has played lights out this year, why would Oakland kill their only offensive spark by playing Rhodes? Rhodes is to Jordan as Kenny Watson is to Rudi Johnson. He's no more than a fill in. If you have the roster space, go ahead and pick him up, but otherwise...
