pick up Cassel, Kolb, Freeman, etc? WHIR

Postby saemick » Tue Oct 19, 2010 11:07 pm

I'm not sure I trust Cutler to start this week for me, so Do I pick up any of the following:

Cassel vs. JAX
Freeman vs. STL
Kolb @ TEN
Bradford @ TB

Do I pick up any of the above QB's? If so, do I drop Dez Bryant or Steve Smith (CAR) for him?

here's my roster:

12-team, .5pt per reception
QB: Cutler, Vick
RB: Gore, Hillis, M. Bush, Fred Jackson
WR: Fitz, Jennings, S. Smith (CAR), Crabtree, M. WIlliams (TB), Dez Bryant
TE: Hernandez
K: Prater
D: NE
Scoring: 10yds rush/rec = 1pt, 25yds pass = 1pt, TD = 6pts, fumble/int. = -2pts

god i hate to say it but i think cassel might be the best qb option... i would have said Kolb but with out DJax and against tennessee I dont think he's going to be as good as the last 2 weeks (plus Im a Vick owner so I'd love to see him fail.)

help?

Well if your only looking to play the QB for JUST week 7, then I'd say Cassel. He's got a favorable matchup against a real bad Jaguars team. But I don't see Cassel being a worthy starting QB for the following weeks. If you want a guy who you can rely on every week, take the chance on Kolb. It looks like it will be about 50/50 whether or not he maintains the starting position. I really think it is up to this weeks game against the Titans to determine whether he or Vick will be the starter. I think if Reid knew, he would state it now. He is undecided, and won't decide until after the Titans game. Kolb plays good, he becomes starter. Kolb plays mediocre or bad, Vick is starter. I'd take the risk with Kolb. Because there is a chance you lock up a solid starting QB for the rest of your season. If you pick up Cassel, your back to square one after this Sundays game.

crap sorry I forgot to mention who to drop lol. Man thats actually pretty tough, I think it's still to early to give up on Steve Smith, especially considering that Moore is going to be back, and they have played well together earlier this season as well as the end of last year. I'd probably say drop Dez. Dez is full of talent but is still the 5th weapon in big D behind Austin, Roy, Witten and whatever RB is in the game. Dez is also the most likely to be available on the WW next week as well.

IF your league has an Add/Drop setting after the WW has gone through, I'd wait till Sunday morning to make the move to protect Dez, if not then just go through your average WW procedure

I'm not sure you need to do this, Cutler's playing a skins defense that gives up a lot of points to fantasy QB's and the Bears throw more then most teams.

You cannot drop any of those guys for the qb's out there at this time, you just have to suck it up for this week i think or try to make a deal to land a qb, instead of outright dropping either of thoes 2 wr's.

Here's the thing, both Vick & Cutler are on a bye next week anyway. So I'm gonna either need to grab a QB for one of these WR's now, next week, or make a trade for a QB.

Of those 3 options, which is the smartest?

Kolb is out as he's got the same bye week. I think if thats the issue, look at who's got a good matchup week 8 not this week. I think Cutler will be fine, Washington has been giving up good points to QB's this year, espeically teams that throw. Cassel has a good matchup, but sometimes you have to trust the players and not the matchups. Out of those, I think Freeman has Arizona week 8, and Stafford if he's available has Washington week 8. I think either would be a good bye week filler.
