Ray,
Do you think it is time to let go of players like Kevin Smith and Heyward-Bay to look for better options on the bench in a 10 team league? Smith seems to very low on the depth chart in Detroit now that Leshore is back and Heyward-Bay due to his injury issues. Considering dropping one of these guys for a back up TE like Rudolph or Bennett.
Thanks,
Jon

Jonathan – In a 10 tm lg, it’s fine to look to improve. I don’t now what your roster looks like, but given that I had Rudolph ranked #10 at the tight end position before the season started, pretty clear I don’t believe he should be on the wire.

Ray, terrible situation to be in, but I need to pick 2 of CJ0K, A. Brown and A. Bradshaw. 12 team non-PPR that is 20 yds/pt. Given the value of TD’s, is it crazy to start both NYG backs over CJ? Tenn ought to have open tryouts for O-line…

Dave – I instituted a new rule… if people don’t say please or thank you, I’m not going to answer their question.

Ray, Thanks for calling me out on my manners. I have 5 teenage children and you would think badgering them constantly to hve manner, you would think I would. TAKE #2: Ray, I’m in a terrible situation. I need to pick 2 of CJ0K, A. Brown and A. Bradshaw. 12 team non-PPR that is 20 yds/pt. Given the value of TD’s, is it crazy to start both NYG backs over CJ? Could you please offer some advice? I would greatly appreciate it. By the way, Tenn ought to have open tryouts for O-line… Signed, WORN DOWN BY 5 TEENAGERS!!

Dave – You got it my man.
For this week I’d go CJ2K and Brown. I can’t start both NY backs, and my reading of the tea leaves has me tilting toward Brown this weekend.
