Football question if you don’t mind. After watching Cobb and Crabtree play yesterday, I feel like they probably shouldn’t be free agents in my league.Especially when they have Smith and Rodgers throwing to them…..and Cobb scores me points in my league for TD punt returns also.I have Floyd,Britt,Julio,Fitz,Garcon,Torrey for WR.Would you drop any of them for Cobb and/or Crabtree? I have Benson,Wilson,Martin,Hillis,Wells,Richardson for RB. It looks like I will be playing 3 WR every week as crappy as my RB’s are,except Martin. Do you think Leshoure,Hunter,Dwyer,or Alfred Morris would help my RB problems? I know there’s 2 things to digest here. Hopefully you can make out my jibbish. Thanks!

In the semis this week. Points league. Last utility spot. Lawrie or Garrett jones. And I need 2 closers out of these 3. Friere, clippard, motte. Thanks

Ray
Is Alfred Morris worth my #1 waiver? I have forte,lynch,Ridley as my rb’s. With Michael much on the bench

Michael bush!

Zach – Minor/Moore. Tough to leave out Kendrick, but his skills dont match up.

Scott – All of your WRs are better than Cobb/Crabtree. You could drop Floyd and go Cobb since you get returns yards if you want.
None of the runners are an improvement either. I have no love for Benson, so if you wanted to add Morris over him fine by me.

John – I’d go Jones. Lawrie more skilled, but just back off injury and Jones has been ripping it up /308 with .943 OPS over 53 games.
NO way to know on closers. A guy could get three saves this week, then go 12 days without a chance.
Frieri has seven games, so he starts. Ditto Motte.

Sean – I see no reason why you would pass on Morris this week. However, realize he may not be starting in Week 4, so it’s certainly a risk.
