I'd pick him up. He'll eat up Cruz's minutes once he starts again. That person will likely regret that move. Who's on your bench?

this is a tough one. i guess your rosters are really small meaning a guy like manngingham getting dropped isn't too shocking. with that said, i still like him. the question is is he worth more than anybody else on your roster.
on a roster this small, i probably wouldn't have 2 TE's. i realize you need somebody to perform in gates' absence, which makes this part difficult.
i wouldn't drop any of your wides over manningham. i guess the only people i could legitimately see dropping for him would be hass, helu or jacobs. however, in a league with depth as shallow as this, i doubt you can afford to drop any of them for the future.
so to answer you question, if it were me, i guess i'd prob stand pat. as much as it pains me to say it, you'd be either sacrificing your teams future or killing yourself by not starting a TE for possibly the next week or 2.
Yeah, I need Davis til Gates is healthy again *pray*. Was thinking of dropping Helu and nabbing him, but I think Helu will keep earning more and more carries and could be a nice trade bait or #2 RB if SJax keeps getting hurt. Hass has actually been starting for me til Big Ben gets his stuff together. The WW is slim, benches are short and I hate passing on a WR like Manningham.
I drink because of the 1998 NFC championship game.
12 team big $$$ non PPR league - QB RB RB WR WR TE D K

Same thing happened in one of my leagues . . . I am dropping Marshawn Lynch to snag him (I already have Peterson, Mendy, Wells, FJones and Starks, so Lynch will never sniff daylight on my roster)
Anyways, I would move on him. If he picks back up into last year's form he's going to have some real value either to your lineup or as trade bait.
