3 potential FA pickups...are any worth it? WHIR!!!

Postby LaRock » Tue Sep 22, 2009 9:32 pm

12 team league, standard scoring, 0.5 PPR, 4 pts per 100 yds rushing.

VERY strict roster rules. We MUST have 2 QBs, 3 RBs, 4 WRs, 2 TEs, 2 D/STs, 2 Ks. Starters in bold.

QB: Schaub, Garrard

RB: Forte, McFadden, Benson

WR: Megatron, White, Royal, Harvin

TE: Gates, Shiancoe

D/ST: MIA, ATL

K: Vinatieri, Carney
--------------------------------------------

OK, there are 3 FAs who have been pretty solid the past 2 weeks, and I'm wondering if I should target one, two, or all 3. Keep in mind if I add one, I MUST drop a player in that same position due to our roster rules.

McGahee
Manningham
S Smith (NYG)

I like what McGahee is doing, and he has a great matchup this week. My concern is his health and his tendency to fade as the season goes on. But he sure looks good so far.

Manningham is the deep-threat weapon in New York. Looks like he's gonna stick around.

Smith is the possession guy, but with 0.5 PPR that might be enough to elevate him over Manningham.

I'm not happy with Royal so far, and although Benson has done well I'm still a bit shaky on him. He is the only guy in Cincy though, so he has that over McGahee.

So--should I try to grab one or more of these guys? If so, who do I drop to get them?

Thanks, and leave a link so I can return the favor!

Get Smith............very good wr, manningham will be covered to make sure he can't make any big plays from here on out.

This question is harder then it looks.....

I really like Manningham and S.Smith from here on out. The only problem with grabbing either one is that Harvin is going to be a great threat all year so you can't drop him and Royal.....hahahahahaha.....don't get me started on Royal!!!! I have him as well and had started him 2 weeks in a row thus starting the season 0-2 and he was a big part of that upset (see roster in Sig).....the only problem is the word is to have some patience with Royal. Most people are giving up on Royal right now and in a week or 2 he will bust out and all the people who dropped him will be sorry!

so......entirely up to you my friend! I would either stay put or drop Royal and grab S.Smith or Manningham (in that order)

Good Luck!!!

Sucks but you gotta hang tough. Unless you really think Royal is done (I don't, he's the kind of guy Orton is going to start leaning on) you have the best roster right now.
