Who to Drop? Bush, Sproles, Smith..

Postby j1carr12 » Fri Oct 16, 2009 2:51 pm

This is a standard league.

I have to drop one of my backup RB's to make room for a WR. Reggie Bush, Darren Sproles, Kevin Smith?
I have MJD and B. Jacobs as starters.

Reggie Bush seems useless in a standard league. He has no points, but his possibility is certainly there.
Darren Sproles can, and has, put up some numbers, and I like having him as a backup because of LT's uncertainty week to week, but therein also lies the problem: LT.
Kevin Smith is an awesome back with a horrible offense. He will be targeted even more now that the passing game is questionable/null.

I feel like Bush is the best of the three to drop. Any suggestions?

Remove Smith from consideration.

Bush and Sproles are like the same guy, flip a coin - I don't see either having much value going forward unless your league awards points for return yards.

Neither guy can handle a full load, both are situational players.

Both guys will have a big game here or there when they either return a punt or kickoff for a TD or break a long catch for a TD - but good luck picking which week that will be.

IMO, Bush will see more snaps on offense than Sproles from here on out, and I like the Saints offense a lot more than SD's if that makes a difference.

Tough choice, I would keep players from the best teams. Teams that score TD's. Drop Kevin Smith.

You can't make a trade for one of these guys?
