Avery a Free Agent? Who to drop?

Postby pappymojo » Fri Sep 11, 2009 11:22 am

I'm in a 12 team, non-PPR, non-keeper league that charges money for free agency transactions. Donnie Avery was just dropped in the league. Is he a must pick up? and if so, who do I drop for him?

My team:

QB Peyton Manning
RB Ladanian Tomlinson
RB Kevin Smith
RB/WR Fred Jackson
WR Greg Jennings
WR Dwayne Bowe
TE Owen Daniels
K Nick Folk
Def Titans

Bench:
Marshawn Lynch
Knowshon Moreno
Jonathan Stewart
Antonio Bryant
Donald Driver
Kyle Orton

I do have an Injured Reserve spot but it looks like every one will play this weekend (except Lynch).

The one that jumps out at me is Donald Driver. And yes, I think Avery is a must pick-up in this situation. He is Bulger's #1 target and a definite deep threat with wheels. Driver is an average Joe, reliable mediocrity kind of guy. WR is a thin position and if you can upgrade you have to do it.
QB: E. Manning, Bradford
RB: Peterson, Best, Tolbert, Starks, Torain
WR: Wallace, Welker,Colston. P. Parker, Floyd
TE: Hernandez, Davis

Yes. Pick him up and drop Driver. Avery is an upgrade over Driver. Thanks for helping me.

Can't believe no one has asked this question yet... How much money does it cost to pick him up?
If it's more money to get him than to feed your wife and kids for a night don't do it. FEED YOUR FAMILY!!!!
You should be ashamed of yourself. You need a heavy mushroom trip and a quiet room so you can figure out your priorities.

I think you would be safe picking him up and starting him over Bowe really. I like the idea of dropping Driver, he should be good this year, but he is going to be buried in your lineup

I actually would not pick up Avery as I think the #2 option on GB is much better than the #1 on the Rams. The only player worth owning on STL is SJAX

Thanks for your help on mine.

Id drop Orton. He's nothing more than a bye-wk fill in and you can pick up a guy when you need to. I'd keep Driver.
