chubbyparrot Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Slaton has been a huge disappointment, and it's hard after using a reasonably high draft pick on him, but the Steelers sure seemed to pick up the run game once they got Mendy's head in the game. Only thing of worry is the sharing with Parker, but Houston's situation is also maddening with whatever reason they think Chirs Brown should get the ball around the goalline. It's a tough call for me...I probably pass on it though, but as a homer you may have better insight with the Steelers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsfan11 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 i would keep slaton. I guess im just an optimist, but i dont see him finishing the season this poorly. You are basically selling slaton as low as you possibly can and buying mendenhall as expensively as you can. I would ride it out, Slaton is also a weapon in the passing game, snatching 17 catches 180yards and a touchdown already, so his receptions will also help out in a ppr league. please check out my football blog, http://imaginarygridiron.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donutrun Jellies Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Mendenhall has outscored Slaton on a avg per week basis and holds a mucccch more favorable rushing schedule the rest of the way (using the huddle strength of schedule tool to analyze weeks 1-5 and look out over weeks 6-16) ... your hesitancy has cost you the nice matchup with Cle, but there are more fruits to be enjoyed ... Can Slaton turn it around? He has the talent to, that's for sure. Any sign that he will? Not so much. Soooo, take the path that entertains you the most ... that's what it is truly about.

Grimm74 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 I can still have him in the lineup by tomorrow. Take the path that entertains you the most is a nice way of putting it and may push me over the edge to Mendenhall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
