3WZ Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Injury aside, IMO Maroney has been less than stellar all season. With Brady pretty much throwing every down in the red zone, and Faulk getting more touches, does Maroney hold any value the rest of the season. He has nice matchups against the Jets and Dolphins in weeks 15 and 16. Is he worth owning or should he be waiver wire fodder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I think he has some value between weeks 11-15 and then they'll start easing up again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebdog Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 i don't see how you can have much faith in what he might do the rest of the way. he may have a couple good games but you'll never have the confidence to start him before it happens. for a keeper league i think you hold him if you can. his value is extremely low. things change in a hurry from year to year. NE won't be this pass-happy next year. and i gotta believe Maroney will be out to prove himself by next year.....he'll have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfin2000 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) I'm haven't been a Maroney fan for over a year now. I drafted him last season as a rookie in a keeper league, and the minute he had a decent showing this preseason (Week 3), I traded him. I've seen nothing to convince me that I made a mistake even though the guy I got in return (Rudi) has been just as unproductive this season. I put him in same class as Cedric Benson. He has the talent, but he doesn't have the intangibles that translate into success on the field. People accuse Benson of being "soft", and I see some of that in Maroney as well.

I wouldn't call him soft....but he doesn't run with the power you would expect. And of course, he appears to be injury-prone.

Belushi Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I'd rather have Kevin Faulk at this point. Gets carries, receptions, and some goal-line work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Trick Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 What makes you believe that? I totally disagree. If Moss is gone, I could see where it would drop quite a bit. Also its hard to imagine that the pace continues from here the way it's been all the way through next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
