Which RB to drop

Postby dberry120 » Tue Aug 28, 2012 12:31 pm

One of my teams this year, I ended up without a kicker and defense. I wanted to secure my other roster spots before I get these 2 spots filled. I'm either going to drop 2, or try and make a few 2-for-1 trades to upgrade and free up some spots. I'm heavy in RB's, so I thought I would consider trading them first.

My league is 12 team ppr starting
1 QB
2 WR
2 RB
1 TE
1 Flex (TE/WR)
1 K
1 Def

If I were to drop or trade, which 2 guys should go?

QB's
Philip Rivers
Ryan Fitzpatrick

RB's
DeMarco Murray
Chris Johnson
Darren Sproles
Doug Martin
Mark Ingram
Cedric Benson
Isaac Redman

WR's
Hakeem Nicks
Demaryius Thomas
Robert Meachem
Anquan Boldin
Santonio Holmes

TE
Jacob Tamme

Redman and Ingram are definitely the bottom 2 in that list, and may not even be worth owning for anyone. If you can dump both of them I'd do it.

Holmes

If you are dead set on dropping Rbs:
Benson
Ingram

I almost agree with this, but I see Benson as having more value than Redman. I'd drop Holmes before Redman.

So how I would rank them (top should go first)
Ingram
Holmes
Redman
Fitzpatrick

But I think you could be able to trade Redman, at least while he actually has some value

Thanks guys

I think I'm going to drop fitzpatrick because I can always pick him back up and there are a few other QB's of similar caliber on the WW. I want to wait on dropping a RB until after week 1 to see how they produce. Then hopefully I can find 2 that produce that I can use for trading to upgrade my flex or TE spot. I think this is the best move since Im RB heavy and their are quite a few other rosters in my league that are weak in RB's. That leaves Holmes to be the second guy I drop.

Sound good?
