Trent Edwards dropped. Grab him? WHIR!

Postby coma » Sat Aug 29, 2009 11:57 am

16 teams. PPR league. Don't have a backup QB and Schaub is injury prone.. But then again it's a tough decision on who to cut. What do you guys think?

QB- Schaub (Hou - QB)
RB- Tomlinson (SD - RB)
RB- K. Smith (Det - RB)
WR- Moss (NE - WR)
WR- Ochocinco (Cin - WR)
RB/WR- R. Williams (Dal - WR)
TE- Keller (NYJ - TE)
K- Rackers (Ari - K)
DEF- New England (NE - DEF)
BN- D. Jackson (Phi - WR)
BN- McCoy (Phi - RB)
BN- Bradshaw (NYG - RB)
BN- Norwood (Atl - RB)
BN- C. Henry (Cin - WR)
BN- J. Davis (Cle - RB)

Well with Schaub being a injury risk you do need a backup and I'm assuming there isn't much else out there on the ww either. I think I would add Trent and most likely drop Norwood. I'm not sold on Edwards, and after seeing him in training camp I wasn't really impressed either. But with the talent around him he could produce some decent numbers. Good luck.

Unless you have a specific player you are comfortable cutting, I wouldn't bother. Wait until after the first week, and then go from there.

Thanks for helping with mine ;-D

I would drop Norwood for Edwards in an instant. Backup QBs are hard to come by in big leagues like the one your in. Plus, you're definitely going to need one since Schaub is not the most reliable QB health wise. And I have been targeting Edwards as my backup in a couple leagues this year. I think he has the chance to outperform his ADP by quite a bit.

Thanks for the help w/ mine. I also would drop Norwood for Edwards. I'm guessing with 16 teams almost all the starting Qbs are gone. Backup running backs with basically no chance unless an injury happens to start should be easier to come by.

pass on it.. you have too much upside on your bench. stay put for now and i think Schaub will play 16 games.

I would drop Rackers and see how things play out for the next 10 days. It would suck for some freak accident to claim Turner after you drop Norwood and another team claims him. Kickers are easier to replace in big leagues. You definitely NEED a backup QB since Shchaub has never played in over 12 games in a season.

I'd drop Norwood. I have Edwards too. I like his upside with TO and Evans (and Lynch catches a lot too ...eventually). Atlanta has THE worst RB strength of schedule in the league (#32). If you're not Turner, you're not gonna post too many good numbers this year on that team beyond some garbage points which would be tough to get without Turner in the first place.

Help on mine?
Thanks in advance...

Drop Norwood ... you have good RB protection as is, and this could be a good precautionary move.

I agree, drop Norwood for Edwards. You need a b/u QB and I really don't see Norwood doing much

thanks for the help with mine
