Starting with an EMPTY roster spot....

[UNDEFEATED]

Im considering starting my lineup with an empty roster spot on purpose....

1 qb, 2 rb, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1D

6 Bench positions

Gonzo my TE is on BYE...this is the EMPTY SPOT...this is not an ad for TEs...i am seriously about to not pick anybody up!

My Bench looks like this....
1. Eagles(bye)) picking up AZ or JETS...
2. Joey Harrington...Pending trade...space will still be taken
3. QTIN
4. BELL...handcuff....more than likely drop him
5. Johnathan Wells....Gonna start for DDavis....
6. DDavis...why do you have to be injured this week?

If i were to drop anybody for a BYE WEEK TE. It would be Bell...or Wells(WHEN DAVIS IS ANNOUNCED STARTER...please!)

Bell....we all know about his situation....rrrgghhhhh

Would you play with an empty spot...probably not...i dont want to lose my prospects....

very competitve and smart league....$$$$

I would never start an empty spot unless it doesn't matter whether you win or lose this week (doubtful). I'd drop Philly defense if Davis is out or Wells if Davis plays. Bell is also dropable.

Defensive Scoring is VERY generous in my league....We give points for everything....sacks, ints, DTD, Fumble recovery, poinnts allowed, and yards allowed..

Eagles average 17 points a week.....pretty strong....I cant really consider this

i've done that before and gotten past it with a win. look at it this way, if you pick up a te,you probably are looking at 4 or 5 points(assuming standard scoring). you got to look at who you are playing if their lineup looks a little weak or if there are divisions and they are not in your division, take a chance and leave gonzo out there during his bye.

drop Bell for a TE, then pick him back up if you really want...I doubt anyone will pick him up, barring a Denver RB injury melee... He's #3 on the depth charts... or 4? Something like that...

You said that this was a competitive league ? Somebody will probably pick up bell just to blackmail you after qtip's coming injury. But if you drop wells, not as big a risk. i would drop wells and pick up a te IF there is someone decent available. if there is nobody good enough to warrant, then keep gonzo in and roll. Gonzo on bye is the same as dallas clark playing anyway.

D.D. practiced today so I'd go ahead and drop Wells. I'd grab the best TE available. You might get lucky and even if he scores only 1 point it's better than punting the category.

AMAZINZ & CBROWNS...I am most definitely following the WELLS and DDavis situation....until LATE into the week to make sure i dont do anything rash.....but im on the same page as you guys..

ONE POINT DOES MATTER...made a huge difference for me last week....WINNER by 1 point....

If i drop BELL considering the RB situation league wide fantasy and NFL....everybody is looking for a RB....Taking the chance to drop him and not get him back is a huge gamble considering I own GRIFFIN.....

IM sure somebody is gonna take a flier on RICKY before the end of the add/drop deadline....FOR NEXT SEASON...One Keeper League...

drop Bell - he's all hype so far.
