Pick up Jesse Holley/Anthony Armstrong?

[joncarlos]

This could turn out to be an ugly situation for my team.

12-team, 1 PPR, start 2 RB, 3 WR, no Flex

QB: Brees, Freeman
RB: Chris Johnson, Gore, Tolbert, Spiller (BUF), Delone Carter (Indy)
WR: Dez, Steve Smith (CAR), Manningham, Branch, David Nelson (BUF), Davone Bess (MIA)

Manningham got a concussion last week and I don't think he's going to play. Dez hasn't practiced all week and while I think the Cowboys might force him to go at less than 100%, I'm not sure.

The problem is that Dez is playing on Monday night, so if I start him and he's out, I can only replace him with someone else playing Monday night. Both Holley and Armstrong are on the FA list. I won't be able to pick them up Monday, I'd have to do it before games start on Sunday.

I am not in love with Delone Carter so he's probably the guy I'd drop, but that would leave me a little short on RB depth for a week until Dez gets things sorted out.

Or I could just start Smith/Branch/Nelson and sit Dez preemptively. And/or I could just drop Carter to pick up Javon Ringer as a Johnson handcuff.

Armstrong can't catch a cold

Agreed... as for Holley, sun shine's on a dog's @ss... it was very sunny last week

I don't think there's a chance Manningham plays, hasn't practiced yet... not a good sign.

Smith and Branch are great starts this week. I wouldn't sweat the third spot nearly so much. I happen to love Carter and yes, you need to keep that depth. If it's PPR I would start Bess, non-PPR I'd start Nelson. And don't beat yourself up if Dez plays, that's the problem with MNF... I had to sit Nicks last week for the same reason.

I wouldn't drop Carter for either of those two.

Agree. Just start Smith/Branch/Nelson and wait for Dez to get well. You have good options at WR
