SpinalTapp Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Who would you rather have as your flex player? Suggs or Staley and why? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Honestly I don't think I'd trade for either. Both have a bad trace record as far as the ability to play 16 games goes and neither is the undisputed #1 on their teams. Bettis gets the goal-line duty in Pittsburg and the Browns brought in Droughns for a reason and now that there is no pressure on William Green he'll probably do something. Get Barlow instead. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTapp Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 I should have mentioned that I am in a 12 owner keeper league and have no RBs (well, I do have W.Green and O.Smith). In our league we can keep four players that were drafted AFTER the first three rounds. My best four keepers today are: J.Walker P.Burress T.Heap Ravens DST Suggs and Staley are NOT going to be kept by their owners. As a result, they will go back into the draft pool. I am propsing to give one of these owners a 8th or 9th round pick (which really is equivalent to an 11th or 12th round pick in a redraft league) to acquire one of them. This way, they get a late round pick and I would get either Suggs or Staley. As a result, I would have to cut P.Burress to get down to four allowable keepers. As bad as Suggs and Staley might be...I would rather have one of them than Plax. So...do you agree that Suggs and Staley are better than Plax? If so, which would you rather have Suggs or Staley?

LegFuJohnson Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 At least Staley is the starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Staley over Plax and Suggs, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haskel Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I'd go with Staley. Staley did average 101 yds rushing per game over the first 7 games last season before his injury. I think he could have been much more effective after his return but he was utilized only sparingly (went from 20-25 carries per game to 10-12 carries per game). Besides, I'd be really surprised if Bettis repeated his goalline grabbing performance from last year. Regardless...I don't see Suggs being able to do the same in CLE.

JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Staley. : 1. He is a starter, and IMO Bettis will see a greatly reduced role this year 2. Again, IMO, I think that Droughns will be the starter Sept 11th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Staley over Plax and Suggs, I guess. 897646[/snapback] Agreed. Plus, it will cost you less to handcuff Bettis to Staley than it would to handcuff Droughns to Suggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
