Drop K Orton for Josh Johnson?

Postby PCBGuy28 » Tue Sep 29, 2009 11:15 pm

I have McNabb as my starting QB. But of course he will be out until at least next week with the bye. Should I drop Orton for J. Johnson?
My leagues scoring is 25 yards = 1 pt. 6 pts per TD and 1 pt for every 10 yards rushing. -2 turnovers.

Orton has been nothing but average at best. And lucky at that. The tipped ball in week 1 for his only TD. And then a short 23 yard drive in week 3 for a TD. Now he faces a Dallas team that seems to have new life on the defensive side of the ball. JJ played college ball at a small school (not even D1) but had one of the best college careers ever from a QB. He also has had a year to sit and learn. And his running ability makes him a double threat.

So I thought it could be a good move..

Is JJ the only viable QB on the FA list?

I know you have to act early in fantasy football, but I think I'd consider JJ a "wait and see"

S Hill who could maybe be a decent pickup.
Stafford and S. Wallace are really the only options.

I know JJ is a wait and see type guy. But so far I've lost out on some great players because I waited a week too long to grab somebody. So I'm kinda eager to jump the gun on this kid

I live in Tampa and see no hope at all for this team. Although the Redskins aren't that great I don't see how JJ can make an impact yet.

Bucs had like 80 totals yards last week...

Yeah. But they also had like almost 600 passing yards in the 2 weeks prior to that. Which makes it a hard choice.
