Jonathan Stewart RB-CAR- The only way Stewart takes a starting spot, is if you're a victim of bye week at the RB position. But keep in mind Stewart has split time with DeAngelo Williams and with limited work Stewart has out performed him every step of the way. He is definitely a solid start at the flex position, he has scored in back to back weeks and even if he doesn't find the end-zone his catches out the back field should give him enough production to make him a solid start at the flex position, especially in PPR leagues.

Knowshon Moreno RB-DEN- With McGahee out, Moreno is next in line to carry the rock in Denver. Even though he has proven nothing all season, this is still a run first offense. With Tebow under center there will be a lot of opportunities for Knowshon.
Jabbar Gaffney WR-WAS- Well, he is the number one WR in the nations capital. Moss is expected to miss 5-7 weeks and opposing defenses will stack the box to stop Shanahan's run heavy offense. Gaffney will be in a lot of single coverage and will have his opportunities. Worth a pick up.

Michael Crabtree WR-SF- Josh Morgan is out for the season, opposing defenses will focus on stopping Frank Gore and Vernon Davis. What other choice does Alex Smith have? Braylon Edwards?. If you still have a hole at the WR position, give Crabtree a shot.
Demaryius ThomasWR-DEN- Demaryius has a good shot at becoming the new number one WR in Denver. After one game with Tebow under center, he is headed in the right direction. For now pick him up an leave him on your bench. If he gets in sync with Tebow, the pay off could be huge.
Leave Him On The Bench...
Percy Harvin WR-MIN- Harvin is not 100% and he may sit out this weekend so the bruised ribs that have plagued him for the past 3 weeks could heal. Even if Harvin plays, it seems the young Christian Ponder is developing a repertoire with WR Michael Jenkins and TE Visanthe Shiancoe.

| His ribs need to heal. |
Peyton Hillis RB-CLE- Now read this carefully. If you have better option at your number two RB position leave Hillis on the bench. Hillis is caught in a downward spiral and until he shows he's out of this funk, he will be detrimental to your team. If his hamstring is good to go, he will still give up some carries to Montario Hardesty. If you could, leave him out of this weeks starting line up.
Eric Decker WR-DEN- Tebow needs more time to show us who his number one wide out will be. So far it looks likes Demaryius Thomas will see most of the action from Tim but nothing has been proven, so we sit and wait. Don't take the risk.
Reggie Wayne WR-IND- Without Peyton, this season has been a complete mess for Reggie and the Colts. Wayne should stay on your bench for the rest of the season. Even though many drafted Reggie fairly early, there is no reason to feel obligated here. Reggie can't do anything for you this season, even when Painter does throw for 100+ yards...Garcon is his man.

Brandon Jacobs RB-NYG- It seems like he's getting healthy and will play Sunday. Even if he does play, Bradshaw is coming off a huge week 6 and a lot of rest in a bye week. Jacobs may steal a goal line carry or two but for now he is not worth the risk.
SeeIng Reggie Wayne on the drop list is kind of crazy. Makes you think about how important Peyton is to that team. When Brady went down the Patriots made the playoffs while the Colts are in the running for luck. Do you think it shows that Peyton is better than Brady or that Belicec just a genius?
ReplyDeleteWell, just to be clear the Patriots missed the playoffs in 08 but they were 11-5, which is still a pretty good record without Tom Brady. The Steelers are 8-6 without Big Ben. I don't think it's about Peyton being better than Brady or vice versa, it's how the teams are structured. The Patriots still had a prolific offense (Randy Moss, Wes Welker) and a pretty good defense. The Steelers for example, the Defense speaks for itself, any QB that could manage a game in the NFL, will have an 8-6 record behind that defense. The Colts have always had a bend but don't break defense, and especially this season, the team was built around Peyton Manning winning shoot outs, Brady has done it for most part of the season, even though that Pats defense is getting better. I think the 62-7 beat down was more of a mental low "i don't want to be here" kind of thing. The Colts lost there fire, the Patriots of 08 had a lot of fight in them. Maybe this show's the difference between a Randy Moss caliber WR and a Reggie Wayne.
ReplyDeleteAlso, this is not necessarily the drop list, it's more the "keep him on your bench" list. Just to clarify.
ReplyDeleteI think Manning and Brady are comparable QBs, but Manning is a larger part of his team. The Patriots are a team that has system and change that system year to year based on the pieces they have. The Colts start with Peyton and work their way from their.
ReplyDeleteThe Patriots "system" is based of Tom Brady, he didn't play into it, he was the key piece in starting it, this is his system. "The Colts start with Peyton and work their way from their"...basically goes back to the original point i was making, it comes down to how the teams are structured and built.
