Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted September 25, 2009 http://www.rotoworld.com/content/HeadLines...L&hl=152459 The Bucs will start Derrick Ward over Cadillac Williams (questionable, knee) in Week 3 against the Giants, according to Pewter Report. The rest of the Tampa papers confirmed the report, as Williams' knee is predictably acting up again. Should Ward play well against his former team, this could institute a changing of the guard in Tampa. Williams was unproductive on his seven Week 2 carries and was never going to hold up physically. With Williams and Earnest Graham banged up, Ward is a candidate for 20+ touches Sunday. Sep. 25 - 1:11 pm et Source: Pewter Report Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Gladstone 33 Posted September 25, 2009 Brilliant news! Thanks for the update Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSB2424 3,083 Posted September 25, 2009 Wow, I was totally unaware of this. This may push Ward into a flex spot. The Giants didn't look all that impressive against the run vs. Dallas either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NICK33 0 Posted September 25, 2009 nice now i dont have to start donald brown. Since mike bell s injured a SWP sucks right now. Was also thinking about tashard choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Chewy 98 Posted September 25, 2009 excellent news. will gladly start him over benson@pitt this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricanrockers 39 Posted September 26, 2009 Keep in mind, Ward wants to show the Giants what they missed out on when they let him leave via FA....he'll be extra motivated!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R8RMick 242 Posted September 26, 2009 Keep in mind, Ward wants to show the Giants what they missed out on when they let him leave via FA....he'll be extra motivated!! I wonder if he can pass that motivation onto Byron Leftwich... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huh? 7 Posted September 26, 2009 Hmmmm, the big question is "is it worth it to bench Turner, Fred Jackson, or Hightower for him?". I think I'll probably keep him on the bench this week, but it is good news with the bye weeks starting up. I hope he kicks ass and wins the job! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricanrockers 39 Posted September 26, 2009 I wonder if he can pass that motivation onto Byron Leftwich... All Leftwich has to do is hand the Rock off. Simple! Plus, Giants are having trouble stopping the cutback runs!! That's all Sports Radio was talking about on Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,083 Posted September 28, 2009 Ouch! Hope nobody started him... He cost me a game this week. Plugged in Ward in a 'flex' spot after the news he would start and he (as well as the whole damn team) looked horrible. The Giant front seven manhandled the Bucs. I don't think Gale Sayers would have rushed for 50 yards in that game for Tampa Bay. So of course I lose a close game by six points. Meanwhile all my other bench players that I was thinking about putting in that flex spot all score over 10 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I now have to hope that the Cowboys don't score TD's and Nick Folk puts up a ton of FG's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the question now is what to do with Ward? Was Sunday just one team being dominated by another, or is Ward waiver wire fodder? I'm guessing the former, but I'm not thrilled.

I'm guessing the former, but I'm not thrilled. I don't think that you drop him. I would still see him as a flex in the right matchups. The team is in a little disarray, so I would see if they look to shake things up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jocstrap 8 Posted September 28, 2009 I started Ward in my flex position. Tampa Bay is soooooooo bad, I even thought about dropping Ward all together after yesterday's performance. Hard to drop a possible starting RB even on one of the worst teams in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Down 12 with Folk to go. Started that BUM Ward in 2 leagues in place of Bush...the Bucs may be the worst in the NFL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mambokings 0 Posted September 29, 2009 at least LJ is touching the ball LOL! ...and gaining a whopping two yards per carry with it. That would be like defending JaMarcus Russell by saying "at least he's a starter!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowdogg187 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Sucks I drafted Ward thinking he would be TB's guy. I will ride this for a couple weeks to see if he shakes out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idiotec 31 Posted September 30, 2009 Forced to start him this week due to bye's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted September 30, 2009 I think that you have to ride this out for a few weeks to see the impact of changing QB's. If you picked up Ward expecting that he would immediately emerge from the pack, then you over-estimated. If you expected that you might have something once Caddy got hurt halfway through the season, then it could still pay off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sho Nuff 719 Posted September 30, 2009 Forced to start him this week due to bye's Im likely to be forced to start Caddy due to byes and injuries to Smith and LT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
