Steve Smith?
ReplyDeleteThank you sir. Just forgot him. I added him at #29 with Mike Wallace. He has the advantage of really being Newton's only WR weapon again, but they are playing a tough defense that gave them a massively difficult time last season.
ReplyDeleteYou're back! Wish I checked this site again and saw this yesterday before I set my lineup and played Golden Tate over Boldin...sigh
ReplyDeleteAnyway, quick question: Is Broyles worth keeping on my bench, or drop him for someone else? I know it's early but there's some talent with potential sitting in FA and we get $100 to bid on players for the season.
12-tm 0.5PPR League
Current roster:
QB: Romo
RB: Martin, Charles
WR: V Jackson, A Brown
TE: V Davis
WR/TE: Boldin
DEF: STL
K: Bailey
Bench WR: Tate, Jeffery, Broyles; RB: L Miller, Woodhead; QB: Bradford
Are any of these FA's worth putting a bid on over Broyles (or any of my bench):
Andre Roberts, Edelman, Burleson, Doug Baldwin, Jonathan Dwyer
I know it's early but there's some talent with potential sitting in FA, and we get $100 to bid on players for the season. I'm sure a few of these will be getting bids tonight (someone bought Julius Thomas for $37 already...)
Much thanks for the advice, and glad to see this site is still running!
