dbforbes Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 As we are ending Week 4, I feel there there are certain players I have held onto for seemingly way too long in the hope that they will pan out. However, I am always concerned about dropping players a week too early (my biggest error like that was dropping Dwayne Bowe shortly before he when on a multi-week TD scoring fiesta the other year). But anyway, I think that after 4 weeks, the probationary period is over. Messers. Funchess and Ivory will be terminated at the end of the day. Regardless of whether I have waited to long or not long enough, I am sure the rest of you had similar questions. When do you decide that it is finally time to cut them?

gilthorp Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 The luck of your won/loss record certainly is a factor as to how long you wait. Roster sizes as well. Ivory is not someone I cut. Funchess is. I need to eventually determine if Taylor or Osweiller gets cut, and I'm thinking it's Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbforbes Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 I need to eventually determine if Taylor or Osweiller gets cut, and I'm thinking it's Taylor. Touch choices. I'd normally stick with Taylor, but losing Sammy is rough. While Brock has all the weapons an NFL QB should need, he's just not very good. Best of luck!

Well said, and for me its - which QB stays on my roster with Wentz, Eli or Cousins (leaning Cousins) - do I hold on to Ameer Abdullah longer (keeper/dynasty and I kept him from last year) - probably not Bye weeks starting and injuries will cause people to turn over the bottom of their roster more to deal with things, so lots of guys are getting cut (then picked up by somebody else), saw that in my league with Peterson and Julius Thomas.

Montana is da Man Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I obviously waited too long on Forsett, but he's a goner this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butkus Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 My roster is littered with guys to cut including Funchess, Rawls, and JGordon among others. Tough year started with a bad draft... ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReturnToSender Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I assume Rawls is cut worthy, or does anyone think otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotSoIgnorant Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I don't know if I'm quite ready to cut, but since I'm trying to keep just one QB on my roster I'm starting to think about cutting J.Winston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 When I played in a lot of leagues, and even today when it's limited - I've never really been a cut bait guy on RB's - only because there's really nothing great to replace. If you're cutting a guy who you thought was a RB3, but he's really a RB5, then just make him your RB5. Eventually, RB's will get dinged and those situations change quickly. WR's are a different story all together. If they aren't seeing the targets and it's obvious they aren't part of a plan with targets, then you need to watch a little tape, do some stat digging, and see just how badly they are out of sync with the QB. That won't change in season. Someone mentioned Tate - he's not on the same page as Stafford. Floyd is just dropping balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Tempted to cut Rawls but still have a revolving door of a roster spot where nobody has really stuck so still holding him. Even if just as a handcuff for CMike in case he gets injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleshot Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I find it hard to cut any RBs unless they're injured for a long time themselves because there is so much turnover due to injury at the position. If they're healthy, sooner or later they're going to be relevant, even if only for 2-3 weeks (Rawls comes to mind). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funchess is. I need to eventually determine if Taylor or Osweiller gets cut, and I'm thinking it's Taylor. I agree on the W/L record. I didn't know what to do with John Brown and then he shows up with this HUGE game. So now I'm confused on what to do with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def. Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Except any Dolphins running back, they are not worth the headache. Fixed. Dumped Cook in in every league I had him already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
