Pick up Brandon Jackson ? WHIR

Postby Thor » Tue Sep 14, 2010 1:02 pm

1 PPR

Now that he is number #1 RB in GB's high powered offense, do I pick up Brandon Jackson?
I can only carry 4 RBs on my roster

I have
Peterson
Greene
Best
Bradshaw

It would be hard to drop any of them for him. After the LT2 Show last night, I'm really down on Green's future this season, but how can I drop him?

That's a toughy...

Only guy I definately wouldn't cut is AP.

IMO it's a gamble anyway you cut it - all 3 guys could potentially be top 10 RB...

Greene didn't do himself any favors last night, but I don't think you can drop him.

Bradshaw seems to be the guy in NY, and he's absolutely tough as nails.

Best is a rookie, and the Lions are awful, Stafford's injury isn't gonna help.

I hate to say it, but of the 3, Best maybe?

Very tough call.

Yeah, I agree. While it'd be better if your league rules didn't make you drop a RB, given that you do, Best is the weakest option here.

Thanks for your help on mine.

I wouldn't drop any of those guys. Jackson had the chance in the past to show what we can do as a starter, and wasn't very impressive. Yes, this is a high-powered offense, but I personally don't think he's worth it, given how deep you are at RB.

Best didn't have a great day running the ball, but he got 2 TDs, and it's too early to give up on Green. Those guys just have way too much value right now to simply waive. If you're set on getting Jackson, I would recommend you try to trade one of those others for a WR first, to open a spot on your roster for another RB. Is there anyone in your league in need of a RB?

Good luck with it.

Not sure if I would drop any for Jackson...maybe Bradshaw? Is there any way that you could trade away a RB for another position, then pick up Jackson? Thanks for helping on mine.

take a risk, live a little and drop Greene for Jackson. After Greene's performance hes going to be splitting the backfield 50/50 with Tomlinson for at least the enxt few weeks, whereas Jackson is going to be the feature back for the forseeable future, seeing 3 down action. Make the drop and dont look back.

Help on mine?
