Pick up Mendenhall off Waivers?

[1994ers]

mendenhall is surprisingly still on waivers, and i really want to pick him up. my bench is full though so ill have to give up one of my starting LB spots to get him.

 

should i do it?

 

i personally dont have alot of faith in him, but this is insane value and he might just break out this year.

 

my team in a PPR league:

QB: Donavon McNabb, Matt Hasselbeck

RB: Peterson, Kevin Smith, Derrick Ward, Beanie Wells, Darren Sproles

WR: Randy Moss, Greg Jennings, Wes Welker, Anthony Gonzalez, Devin Hester

TE: Greg Olsen

 

DB: Leodis Mckelvin, Danieal Manning

DL: Terrell Suggs, Trent Cole

LB: Barrett Ruud, Bart Scott, James Laurinitis

 

edit: in the title i meant to type "off".

not to sound like a D!ck, but i would love to see draft results, because I see no way possible to have that kind of lineup, especially ppr. but in other talk, no you have solid backs, if you want to, drop scott

I'd only be looking to add him if I owned Parker.

 

Pass.

no problem. this is a 10 team league that me and my friends play every year.

 

10 team league - 2 of the better players from last year + 1 ok new guy + 1 very bad new guy (team 1) + 1 autopicker (team 10) + me being very ready + alot of luck = very good draft.

 

id like to think it was mostly my strategy though, since ive been in dozens of mock and real drafts and have always gotten good results.

 

anyways, heres what happened in the draft:

and ill probably leave mendenhall on the wire, and pick up EJ henderson instead.

thanks. to tell you the truth i had MJD and Forte ranked ahead of Peterson, and it killed me when MJD was picked right before me.
