Who to pick up?
« on: Nov 8th, 2005, 9:16am »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
I have Thomas Jones and Mewelde Moore.  Both got dinged up on Sunday.  It is unclear if either will be able to play this week.  I can put Cedric Benson in if Jones cannot go.  This would give me a starting backfield of Benson and Steven Jackson.  
 
Should I drop Antonio Bryant and pick up J.J. Arrington or Michael Bennett?  
 
I have Branch, Horn and Harrison so Bryant may not see too much action on my team.

Grab Bennett if you can.  He'll probably get the start @NYG.   He's a decent #3 option, but NYG will probably be up early and force a catchup gameplan.

from what I hear JJ is out next week, i'd take bennett over JJ. I still think M. Moore will end up with most of the carries...unless hes actually not playing. I'd also play benson over bennett (sanfran) if this question is only regarding 2 RB slots...I don't need to tell you horn isn't exactly a guarantee these days and Bryant is a solid plugin when he can't go..
 
I guess it won't hurt to take a shot with Bennett if you want, who knows what will happen in the NFL this year.

Yea, given your roster, I'd trade in Bryant (dime-a-dozen WR) for Bennett (ALL-important position of RB) in a heartbeat!

Duce Staley is availible in some leagues. He's the only healthy starter in Pittsburgh. Against Cleveland on Sunday nite he should be choice.

The plot thickens...
 
Duce, unfortunately, is not available and I could not get Bennett.  Antowain Smith was just released.  Should I grab him and drop Bryant?

What about Greg Jones?  Isn't Fred T. hurt?

And, what about Anthony Thomas?  He was just picked up by the Saints this week and is surely an upgrade over Smith/Stecker.  In any event, given this, I wouldn't go dropping Bryant for Smith.  Good luck!

Jones is also on a team.  
 
Yes, the Saints signed the A-Train.  This will likely muddle the Saints backfield situation.  
 
I think I will hold off on making a move.

How about taking a flyer on "The Nigerian Nightmare II", Samkon Gado? (Well he is Nigerian anyway!!!) He got the rock 26 times last week for a whopping 60 something yards and a TD. He will get the starting nod and that's at least good for 50+ yards and a possible score....maybe more!! Consider this option if available
