At this point, is CJ Spiller even worth a roster spot?

I've been holding on to him all season with the same mindset...this is the week he explodes and returns to form. I don't necessarily need to keep him on my roster because I have Charles, Gore and Murray right now. I just wanted to keep him in case one of my other three got injured.

I am currently winning my division with an 8-0 record; however, week 9 is bye heavy for my roster. I'm actually contemplating dropping Spiller so I can pick up the TE from Houston, solely because J.Thomas isn't playing this week. Am I being greedy to try and win this week or a hould I just concede week 9 and roll with my roster as is?

I probably wouldn't drop him for a bye week TE. But i don't think you should expect anything from him until after his bye week 12. He's a stash for playoff bound teams, which you are.

Is anyone else on your roster worth dropping or is Spiller the only one?

The Psych Ward

Pryor, Terrelle OAK QB
Stafford, Matthew DET QB
Charles, Jamaal KCC RB (Q)
Gore, Frank SFO RB
Murray, DeMarco DAL RB (P)
Spiller, C.J. BUF RB (Q)
Allen, Keenan SDC WR (R)
Brown, Antonio PIT WR
Garcon, Pierre WAS WR (Q)
Jeffery, Alshon CHI WR
Thomas, Demaryius DEN WR
Thomas, Julius DEN TE (Q)
Vinatieri, Adam IND PK
Chiefs, Kansas City KCC Def


Pryor is my QB for this week only...after which I'll drop him.

I really don't want to bust my team up at all, especially for a bye week TE. Spiller hasn't contributed at all, while the majority of my team has been really consistent all year.

Trade Alshon for a mediocre te.

If you're 8-0, ride out the 0 from TE spot.

I know Spiller has sucked, but he may have value ROS over a spot TE that at best gives you 9-0 and at worst you go 8-1.

Trade deadline in this league was last week.

That was my first thought...

Another thing that I'm uncertain of is how the league will handle my lineup if I turn one in without a TE. I don't know if it will just show up as a TE short or if it will throw last weeks lineup in because the one without a TE isn't a legal roster.

You can't insert a bye week player?

I don't think so...I think I'll take my chances. Gotta look at the big picture. I can afford a loss.

I have Fred Jackson, but someone just dropped spiller. I can't help but think their roles will be reversed if they just let spiller heal considering Jackson has a knee one tackle away from ending his season.

That's another reason I've kept him this long...Jackson's health could catapult Spiller, once his own health is better.

I'm trying to buy him for Mike James right now... dunno if I'll be successful... (I actually traded him away for Trent a couple weeks ago and then he got repackaged in another deal)

I'll feel good if I can get him on the cheap
