[RubeRiot]

on the flip-side, here's a note of caution: even as foster might take over the role, consider his schedule.

Sunday, October 30 Minnesota 1:00 p.m.
Sunday, November 6 @ Tampa Bay 1:00 p.m.
Sunday, November 13 New York Jets 4:05 p.m.
Sunday, November 20 @ Chicago 1:00 p.m.
Sunday, November 27 @ Buffalo 1:00 p.m.
Sunday, December 4 Atlanta 1:00 p.m.
Sunday, December 11 Tampa Bay 1:00 p.m. (FANTASY PLAYOFFS)
Sunday, December 18 @ New Orleans 1:00 p.m. (FP)
Saturday, December 24 Dallas 1:00 p.m. (FP)

minny and new orleans are the only cream-puffs. everyone else presents a considerable challenge. just a caveat emptor.

NYJ and BUF also have bad run def. this year!
...but Foster scares me because he has also been very injury prone.

it seems like a good idea, but i have no reason to drop him, here are my RB's:LT, S-Jax, M.Moore, and C.Brown...i have no reason to drop any of them.

He's parked on my bench. I'm a waitin.

Traded Deshaun for Jason Witten.

Considering I have McGahee, Stephen Jackson, Fast Willie and Moore on my team already and I was running with Dallas Clark at TE, seemed like a no brainer.

There is a market for him out there though, as the owner I traded with offered me the trade, which is very rare.

He had just traded for Gonzo, but if I got Witten in a competitive 16 teamer, his price may be a little on the high side, regardless of injuries and bye week blues.

Is anyone going to post any factually relevant info on Foster - like quotes saying he's fully healthy, or that he has been named the starter, or maybe even quotes regarding Davis situation?

From Rotoworld:

DeShaun Foster will be ready to return from a knee injury following the team's week seven bye.

It will be interesting to see if the Panthers give Foster more carries after the break. Stephen Davis has been struggling.

just traded antowain smith for deshaun foster...

im very happy...

[Alkaholik]

Wow, i cant believe someone traded Witten for Foster, I didnt think foster had that much potentional, but he is going to rot on my bench all season if Foster has to, I am still shocked he wasnt named the starter this year.

I still can't conceive how Davis ever got the chance to start again. Not only did it screw things up for me because I drafted Foster in the fifth round of my draft, but it was stupid for Carolina. Davis old. You have to go with the young running back. Teams all over the league are didn't it. The Rams are even sitting Marshall Faulk (a sure HOFer for S. Jackson). That's the way of the NFL. You hate to say it. But the reality is: At 30, most backs are beating to you know what and are done as starters. It's well past time for Carolina to get the memo and give Foster got his shot.
