My qb.s on a dynasty team are Manning and Miller. I have an open spot on my roster. Would you pick up B. Huard(indy) or Crystal Chandler, given that Miller and Chandler are injury prone. Manning has been durable but you never know.

I'd take the chance on Chandler. How will Huard play if he gets in? You know Chandler will play well!

I have the same two QBs on my team and I also have Chandler.
Manning doesn't get hit much and he has been nothing if not durable (knocking on my head).
I picked up Chandler not because of Miller's injury problems but more because of his inconsistency as a starting QB. He has so far proven me wrong and has actually locked up the respect of both his team mates and his coaching staff. So far he's arguably one of the top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL. (more than I had hoped for) I'll probably be dropping Chandler if something better comes along.
I'm not one to take backups for "what if" scenarios but rather focus on players who constantly go down and take their backups, even if I don't have them on my team.
This from someone who also has Edge and Fred Taylor. (again knocking on my head)

First of all, I second everything Mr. PeeteMaster (I'm sorry, bro', couldn't resist) puts forth, both on his implicit recommendation and, moreover, on his approach to the game. It is the right one! This "handcuff stuff" has gone way too far. Not guts, no glory! I would rather have a player who has upswing (in my mind) than a handcuffer. Hell, think about all the guys who "handcuffed" Mealey to Green. Waste! Moe Williams was the better pick-up this week (assuming he was available) in both hindsight and foresight. I have Green (in the GBRFL), but Moe was first on my list (ahead of Mealey - I got neither, too high in the standings

). As for Davenport, don't even feed me any bullshit that you knew he was the real handcuff.

Regarding your sitch, go with Chandler over Huard. Huard just sucks big dick! He might as well be injured. At least when Chandler goes in the game, he is decent quality and if Miller goes down, you can definitely get the third guy in Chicago as easily as Huard at that time.

Thanks guys, i agree with everything you said. The quandry was being a dynasty league with a 20 player roster the only FA qb is Akili Smith.

So the only viable option was to handcuff and I don't know anything about Huard. Just glad I traded Vinny for Miller last March. Brilliant minds think alike.

ugley,

First off, thanks for getting my circumlocutiously explained point. Yes, I think you should (have) pick(ed) up Chandler over Huard, but NOT for the, now proverbial, "handcuff,"

BUT instead because he is the better player, dynasty considerations or not. Actually, though, regarding Akili, especially since you are in a dynasty league, I think he is worth picking up over Chandler, believe it or not, particularly considering the way Miller is playing, as WeinkeMaster pointed out. What the hell? Akili is more prototypical of that scrambling/running QB that is so en vogue these days. Things can't get worse in Cincy. I'd pick him up for the time being at least.

I agree with Steggie here. Take a flier on Akili. The Cincinnati offense at least has some weapons. Dillon is a stud, and they have a VERY

talented receiving corps. They just have to find a QB that isn't a dog!

Who knows - Akili won't be any less productive than Huard or Chandler...
