Here's my roster:
QB: Rodgers, Newton
RB: Bush, Martin, Bradshaw, Stewart
WR: Green, Wayne, Hartline, Givens
TE: Graham, Keller
K: Suisham
D/ST: Vikings

I just picked up Stewart off of the WW. I had Brown earlier in the year as my handcuff. Is it worthwhile to pick him back up and drop Stewart since Bradshaw might be out?

There are reports that the Panthers are going to go to a more ground based approach on offense, but they're playing the Bears this week. Tough call. Even though Bradshaw isn't practicing, indications are he will play sunday. Personally, I'd hold Stewart this week and see if the Panthers make good on their intent to be more run focused. Even if he's not productive, if Stewart gets 15-20 carries/touches this week, then his upside going forward will be worth keeping him on the roster. If he doesn't get the touches, then I'd drop him for Brown. I hate chronically injured players. If I owned Bradshaw, I would have sold him after the last time he blew up. Just a continual headache. Hope this helps.

I have Bradshaw and I picked up Brown. I think he's a good handcuff to own. The Panthers RB situation is a nightmare and I have stayed far away from that mess. You have Bush (I assume that's Reggie?) and Martin to fall back on as well, so I would definitely do it.

That's what I was thinking too. I tried to sell Bradshaw, but the best offer I got for him was for Felix Jones.
