If it were me and I had to drop someone it would likely be Cutler.

QB in flex is why I prefer to hang on to Cutler. Bradford is fragile.

I really want Gates though. I could at least use him as a trade piece later on.

I didn't use my a Waiver so I have top priority and a guy just dropped him

Yea, Cutler should only play in Ryan's absence. You can always pick up a Flacco/Smith/Bridgewater/Fitzy/Geno type of guy based on matchups. I'd prefer Gates to both your TEs when he returns.

eta. Keep your roster, just realized you get to start 2 qbs. Cutler is valuable in your case

Ah, my blunder, lack of sleep.

Rudolph and Cutler (or K/DEF between weeks) would be on the bubble if it were me. Obviously (now), Rudolph is not expendable. You know what's available for QB, so if you think Cutler is also not expendable, then it's all futile.

Gates is gonna eat, I still like him this year.

Maybe. He said earlier in preseason, that he was ready to pass the torch on to Ladarius Green. He said he would still like to come in near the redzone.

I would wait until Week 3. See how Green does.

There is no waiting. 2 TE league.

I have waiver priority bc I didn't use it earlier. He won't last past whoever is next in line

How bad do you think you need him? He was suspended for using the nfl banned substances to heal his injuries faster. I don't think he will have the same impact as last season. I think nagging injuries will keep him sidelined.

You don't think a TE that had a 70 catch season in a pass first offense that has been the safety value for the same QB for the last decade is going to good this year?

Yes....run on sentence can run

Not saying that. When a star player says what he said about taking a step back and passing the torch and only wanting to play in the redzone, then I'm saying you may need to think thoroughly what you are about to do.

You will be holding his spot for 2 weeks after this week, because of his suspension. You do not know if he will be getting just goaline targets or playing most downs. I have both because I had extra room, until Dez and TY Hilton went down. I still have both for now, but I won't be able to continue to hold both much longer.

In a deep 12 man 1 keeper league. After the two Injuries to Dez and Hilton I was left scrambling for any WR with possible upside that was left. I went with my gut and got Dorsett and Beasly. Williams and Moncrief were drafted.

Romo
Mariota

D. Martin
Hyde
Ingram
Crowell

Dez
TY Hilton
V Jax

Witten

Gates and Green
B. Coleman
Funchess
P. Dorsett
C. Beasly

Gotskowski

Bills D

I'm not dropping either. Im talking about dropping Gates if push comes to shove.

I was referring to having both Gates and Green. I apparently left that out of my statement.
