Foster on IR


I have the two Detroit backs, I'm up in the air with them.

On the wire,

Sankey

Reggie Bush
Tre Mason
Shane Vereen

Do I Drop any for what's available or just keep what I have?

Thanks BH

I'd drop one of the Detroit backs for Doug Martin. Which one is a tossup.

I would drop Foster honestly, pick up Martin. Leave the Detroit situation alone and see how it shakes out.

Reports have Foster coming back week 4 possible and he's a top 5 rb when he comes back. I probably would stay put at least until we get a little closer to week 1 but I wouldn't drop Abdullah if you do decide to drop someone. Too much upside.

I have Foster on the IR spot which doesn't count to your bench depth.

we have 2 rb on the line up
and 2 RB on the bench, which you can use one for the flex position.

So my problem is the two Detroit runners.

Martin's available and he was huge a couple of years ago not so much recently

Best bet for me I guess is to drop Detroit Bell, PU Dough Martin and if Martin fails, I can drop him and pick up bell again,(maybe).

Well thanks all, at least I have more ideas I can ponder on what to do.

I honestly think you're fine. Just play Joique and Forsett and in a couple of weeks you have Le'veon

You guys are crazy to drop foster. Looks like a week 4 is possible. Altho this guy held on to Josh Gordon all year last year so I could be completely wrong. I am smarter than Sac tho if you need a tie breaker.

It's possible Foster comes back in four weeks. It's also possible that it's nine weeks. It's also possible that it's 4 weeks and then he suffers a season ending torn labia two weeks later. It's risky to waste a roster spot on such an unknown.

You could be right, but I don't like the odds of him coming back early AND staying healthy.

I get both sides of it. Depends on your roster is constructed is too. Some teams are set up better to do it better than others.

In other news, with both Yeldon and Ameer on my team I'm actually super excited to watch the Lions/Jags game.

Never thought I'd say that.

That's my opinion also. Detroit isn't going to run and you know it.

A big reason they didn't run it last year was injuries. They are going to be better at doing that this season.. and even if they throw a majority of the time, Bell is still a nice option to score inside the 5.
