satelliteoflovegm Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) Here's the deal... 3-2 Me 5-0 him I need to start 2 RB's Marshawn Lynch on a bye Kevin Jones on a bye Steven Jackson hurt Jamal Lewis hurt Michael Pittman hurt I need to start 2 WR's Lee Evans on a bye Andre Johnson hurt Kevin Curtis healthy Wes Welker healthy I have no wiggle room at QB, kicker, te, or defense. So I waived Welker and Pittman for Kenny Watson and Jason Wright but in order to have a second starter at WR I would need to waive Lynch, Jones, Evans, Steve Jackson or Jamal Lewis. Now Evans is awful but I really don't want to waive him for Michael Jenkins, James Jones, or Wes Welker who I just cut...get 2 points out of them and have Evans find his groove next week on someone else's team. I feel it is my teams best interest to not cut any players and start Curtis and Andre Johnson knowing he won't play. It sucks for those teams chasing 5-0 guy but I want to take my chances that 30 yards out of some scrub WR won't matter in my game. I am the commish and I obviously want to win but there is a bigger picture here. Any thoughts? If Jamal Lewis plays I could cut Jason Wright sunday morning and grab someone at wr, but you know Lewis gives it a go and leaves the game early, Wright goes off and the guy I sign gets 2 points.

Avernus Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 can you post who you have available to start now with their matchups?...the new players being scattered in the paragraph makes me have to think more than I want to or need to... after doing so, I'll be more than happy to try and help you out...

satelliteoflovegm Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) Actually I am curious why this was moved...it isn't a wdis post. I will start: Carson Palmer @ Chiefs Jason Wright @ Dolphins Kenny Watson @ Chiefs Andre Johnson @ probably won't play. Kevin Curtis @ Jets Greg Olsen @ Vikings Phil Dawson @ Dolphins Jags @ Texans The question was...is it ok, stragety wise, for the medium term future of my team, to start Andre Johnson who isn't going to play because I don't want to cut anybody for one week of crappy bye week filler. The list of players was to point out how injured and bye week riddled my team was. If I cut Lee Evans he will be signed by some team in my league and I lose his potential for the year just to fill a one week issue or am I obligated to field a full strength team at any cost. I don't think I am. Thanks Edited October 12, 2007 by satelliteoflovegm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'd let go of Watson as Rudi appears back.... I wouldn't start or let AJ go because he'll likely be back next week and Evans can still turn it around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
