Too many RBs... which one should I trade/drop?

Postby H00KemH02NS » Tue Sep 01, 2009 7:28 pm

Okay, I had the good fortune of scooping up two sleeper RBs off the WW but now I think I need to make some room on the bench. I like 5 RBs, and feel like 7 is too many, but I don't know who to get rid of.

1. Gore
2. Jacobs
3. Coffee (Handcuff)
4. Bradshaw (Handcuff)
5. Felix Jones
6. McCoy
7. James Davis

One thought was to do nothing and let the season play out to about week 3- and trade one for a serviceable WR. Another was to wait until the Barber or Westbrook owner came crawling after an injury, thereby increasing their value on a trade and getting a good WR. Any other thoughts? If it helps, here's the rest of my roster:

QB: Ryan, Hasselbeck
WR: Smith, Owens, Royal
RB: Gore, Jacobs, McCoy, Jones, Coffee, Bradshaw, Davis
TE: Witten
D: PHI
K: Kaeding

If you start 2 WR's then I would wait it out and see who does what or wait until the Westy/MBIII owner come begging or wait until someone needs any type of RB bad and trade one to them. You have 3 great WR's so if you start 2 then you will have the 1 backup for now which is ok. I just think if you tried trading one now you might not get anything for them of value.

Also, keep an eye on the situation in Cle. If J.Lewis get's cut then Davis will start and should be solid. If this happens then either keep him if you can use him or trade him to someone who seriously needs help at RB and upgrade somewhere else.

Nice team BTW......

Good Luck and good Job!
