Would it be dumb to pick up Larry Johnson on waivers instead of Gates and TJ Housh?

I think one of the players in my league is quitting-within a few hours he dumped LJ, Gates, TJ Housh, and Broncos D. Althought he still has Peterson and Gore, among others. He didn't pick anyone up after dropping them.

 

I really want to pick up LJ, as my RB's are making me very angry (although they are all outperforming LJ). I think i might need depth at RB, athough i already have Marion Barber, Knowshon Moreno, Matt Forte, and Brandon Jacobs. They are all losing carries to their backup (except Matt Forte, although Wolff stole a TD away a week ago), and LJ is not losing carries to Charles.

 

I also am thinking TJ Housh over Gates, as I definately deep WR depth - I have Steve Smith (NYG), who i don't know if i would call a number 1 WR on his own team now, and i have Reggie Wayne and Marshall who are obvious studs.

 

I have some 2 for 1 trades that would leave me thin at WR (only 2 on my team after trades if they go through), so i really want TJ Housh.

 

I have Shockey who i love starting every week, and i don't think Gates would be a huge upgrade.

 

I think LJ and Housh will both get it going. Who should i go with? TJ Housh or LJ (basically down to those 2)?

I'll post a thread in my league and see what people say. I believe that should happen as well.

Any time an owner quits and dumps his roster, the commish should put those players back on the guy's roster and lock it down.

I'm commish in my league and that would happen for sure. All the players would get locked down. It's not fair otherwise.

I agree. The Commish should lock down the players. Otherwise, I'd grab Gates over LJ. LJ is a pile.
