I was able to pickup Hartline and Joquie Bell on waivers this week, leaving me with a gap at kicker.. Obviously I need a kicker so I was wondering who I should drop.. Choices: Kembrick Thompkins, WR NE Powell - RB, NYJ I'm weak at RB, with AP, MJD then a massive drop-off to Green-Ellis and now Bell. If one of my RB's gets injured I'm toast. Since I have one flex I can play 3 WR's. I'm thinking the upside for Thompkins is far greater than Powell.. Plus if Thompkins goes for 10+ catches with all the injuries to NE, I'll be upset if someone else in the league picks him up. What do you guys think? Keep RB for depth or take a chance and keep Thompkins for future return?
I'd rather have Thompkins for a few weeks at least till Gronk returns, and then swap him out for your AP handcuff who's probably a better option than Powell should AP get hurt. The Jets get Goodson back shortly so that'll convolute things in NY even further.
Funny.. Nobody in the league picked up Edelman.. So I dropped Thompkins and picked him up. Bunch of slackers in a 10 team league.. Can believe I churned the bottom of my roster and picked up Hartline, Edelman and Bell in exchange for Thompkins, Powell and Britt. I also waived the Giants TE Myers and somehow picked up Jared Cook, who had a monster game.. See a lot more upside in Cook over Myers, who looked slow and only produced real late against the Cowboys.. Thinks looking up.. Gronk on the bench.. May need to keep to two TE's.
Guess it depends on how much you trust Bush to stay healthy, your RB depth, and whether you think Roddy will heal up soon. I think Roddy is definitely someone to buy low if you have enough at RB you can afford to lose Bell.
Two generally The WR are, Dez Bryant, Antinio Brown, Vincent Jakson, Steve Smith, K Thompkins, and Percy Harvin (waiting for him) TE are, Olsen and J Thomas
I'd probably do the trade. Your RB depth is good and you won't have to rush White into the line up until he's healthy.
Personally I didn't like the trade. I would've stayed with the duo of Bush & Bell rather than Foster by himself b/c now you have no handcuff. Bush's injuries are insignificant if you have Bell too b/c Detroit is highly conducive for RB points regardless of who is starting.
If I knew you had Bush I would have said to keep Bell for the handcuff; I'm not huge on handcuffs but with Bush I think it's smart. Good luck with Foster, is your league standard scoring?
