Grant Down. Options on the WW or Trade (WHIR)

Postby combat Johnny » Mon Sep 13, 2010 10:56 pm

PPR League
QB- T. Brady
WR- Randy Moss
WR- Steve Smith
WR- Mike Sims-Walker
RB- Ryan Grant
RB- Ahmad Bradshaw
TE- Tony Gonzalez
K- Lawrence Tynes
DEF- Baltimore
Bench: QB- Matt Ryan, WR- Donald Driver, WR- Austin Collie, WR- Mike Wallace, RB- CJ Spiller, RB- Fred Taylor

So with Grant down I need to replace him. I was thinking of dropping Taylor and checking out the WW. There's a couple of options there; I can pick up Grant's backup, Brandon Jackson vs BUF, or Darren McFadden vs STL. Both are pretty good matchups. There is one guy who is looking for a QB badly. I was thinking of maybe trading him Matt Ryan for Matt Forte? Dunno if he'd go for it, but I figure its worth a shot. What do you guys think? Any help would be appreciated, WHIR, Thanks.

Definitely drop Taylor for B. Jackson.
You can consider dropping Spiller for McFadden in PPR leagues IMO. Spiller's week 1 stats does not bode well for his fantasy outlook as long as Buffalo are carrying 3 backs and running a committee.

For now definitely drop Fred Taylor for either Brandon Jackson or Darren McFadden. The packers should be able to run all over Buffalo's defense, and McFadden is solid in PPR. I would personally probably go for McFadden, it doesn't sound like Grant should be out for too terribly long. I would even send that Ryan for Forte trade, if he does it solid, if not your team is still strong.

I am having injury problems too, any help would be appreciated.http://www.fantasyfootballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=473414

I agree with the above posts, absolutely drop fred taylor for bjackson or run dmc. either are a huge upgrade and can fill in nicely in your lineup right now, hope the grant injury isn't so serious!!

Well he rejected my trade lol, but I'm definitely going to drop Taylor for Jackson now, and maybe even see if I can nab McFadden as well. Thanks for the help guys! Hopefully Grant comes back soon :(
