joeyb7 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Is he not getting opportunities, not hitting his holes, or just plain playing 2nd fiddle to D. Williams? I'm looking out on the wire and see players like L. Blount that might have higher upside, but I just don't know if it's time to cut bait or what. To add to the confusion, D. Williams might be injured. Thoughts? What's his upside in a best case scenario this season? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach1310 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I'm not plugged in by any stretch.... but to me it looks like this.... He's the #2 RB on a dreadful offense, which is part of a dreadful team, with a dreadful QB...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSupe4You Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I had him handcuffed to Williams and dropped him right around the time Williams went out of the game injured (with out knowing he went out of the game.) Just couldn't stomach having them both on my roster anymore. So, now that he is off my roster and not available I am sure Williams will be out for the year and the offense will become top 10 rushing with Stewart leading the way.

MikesVikes Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Hopefully those holes that he's hitting or not hitting will be much bigger when their offensive linemen get things figured out and/or return from injuries. They need Jeff Otah back asap. Edited October 27, 2010 by MikesVikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 The fact that Matt Moore was able to throw for 300 and 2 is promising. But Stewart will really only have value if Williams gets hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I just can't cut bait with this guy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potman Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Here's the homer scoop on these clowns! DWill is the #1 and JStew is the #2 and gets all the goal line looks when they actually have one. Unfortunately with the offense being so bad combined with Otah (road grater o-lineman) being out, the running game hasn't gotten going at all this season. JStew actually sees a lot of time and they're actually almost alternating series at this point. He just isn't getting any room to run, a lot of 3 and outs when he's in there. Throw all that in with Goodson, the #3 RB actually getting some time, spells disaster for fantasy owners. DWill, when heathy is a home run threat on any play and is a weekly play. Now that he's hurt, expect Goodson, not JStew to get more action. Edited October 27, 2010 by Potman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, it seems like an injury is going to have to happen for someone to have value. Stewart had that fluky 55 yard TD catch earlier this year but not much else.

montster Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 We have a short bench in my 12-team redraft and I cut him last week because I needed the roster space. I picked up Woodhead. Stewart was grabbed immediately. I drafted him in the fifth round with Arian Foster still on the board. Just typing that makes me want to vomit.

FUBARED Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I dropped Stewy this week and picked up Blount for back to back byes. Stewy was picked up immediately and placed in a line up to cover byes. I have no regrets dropping him. Can't keep carrying a player not putting up points. And if DWill is hurt, how much value is he with Goodson back there and a horrible offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historymike Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Just typing that makes me want to vomit. Thanks for the chuckle, and I feel your draft pain, brother: I have been waiting all year for DWill to post some numbers worthy of the third-round pick I essentially wasted on him so far.

gerndtier Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I traded Marc Clayton for him around Week 3 just hoping that DWill would get hurt. Now with McCoy and Bradshaw on bye this week it looks like my prophecy might just come true. Unless DWill doesnt play however, it will be Woodhead getting the start for me and I just might have to cut him after this week if he doesnt perform.

lennykravitz2004 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Yahoo reporting Stewart getting the start Sunday. ...*sigh*... This is one of those weeks - Stewart's going up against my Rams. Danged if I do..... just hold out hope the Rams win a shootout of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyb7 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 At least I resisted the urge to drop him just for this reason. Hopefully he'll be trade bait within a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAYER Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 At least I resisted the urge to drop him just for this reason. Hopefully he'll be trade bait within a few weeks. What you mean within a few weeks, if he has a good game he will be trade bait Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 kept him in one league where I am more desperate. Dropped him in another league for Mike Hart, ooops, and now the guy I am playing picked him up and is starting him against me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddahj Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) I hope he goes off. My season hinges on this week. Edited October 31, 2010 by buddahj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I hope he sucks balls. I have Williams on my bench and JStew was dropped but he was scooped up by my opponent and is starting against me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauders11 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 120 and 2 TD's for Stewart today- BOOK IT 120, TD 109, 2TD 206, TD 126, TD That's the 4 games at the end of last season when Dwill didn't play- give him 20+ touches and Stewart doesn't disappoint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauders11 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I agree. But I'd trade him before Williams gets back. I hear ya, but with Carolina going nowhere fast and Dwill likely walking at the end of the season maybe he seizes the opportunity and they give him an extended look as the #1 back? hoping that is the case anyway.

Ursa Majoris Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 FWIW, I just put him in over Burleson, though Burleson has a good matchup. That Stewart record when he starts plus the fresh legs have got to be worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I put him in for Brown. Watch Brown go off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
