Obviously handcuffs if they're good and IMO:

LaGarrette Blount
Dan Herron
Jonas Gray (?)

Players to probably give up on:

Charles Sims

Anybody else?

I'm thinking about finally cutting ties with Montee Ball....for Herron.

ETA: Agree with picking up quality handcuffs and Blount.

I can't really see Ball walking into a good situation. DEN would probably go into a committee to preserve everyone, wouldn't they?

If you're having QB trouble Mettenberger has a great playoff schedule. Next 4 games are Hou, NYG, NYJ & JAX(week 16)

My weakest position by far is TE so I'm thinking of stashing Jordan Cameron and dropping Sims for Jordan Reed. My only TE is Kyle Rudolph.

Now is also around the time that you consider adding a second defense after looking at playoff matchups.

Paging tzimme4
(The opposite of whatever he says.)


For real though... I snagged Herron. Played well on hi 12 carries. Also, looking at Moncrief. Trying to avoid NE RBs but I might have to bite in Blount.

Mett has looked pretty good the past two games, but I'm not entirely sure I trust him 100% since he's a rookie. Three of those matchups look SUPER nice though (JAX, NYJ, HOU). I'll actually be playing the HOU DEF against TEN next week.

I have Rivers and Sanchez and neither looked very good this week. Thinking about picking him up to just hold on to him if i need him.

The options on the wire have dwindled. Right now I will focus on handcuffs.
My only RBs are Lynch and Forte. One of them goes down, I'm screwed. But at this point the only way those two are sitting is if they are getting injured.
I targeted my DEF and kicker after looking at playoff schedules, so I will riding with the Ravens D and J. Tucker.

Yep. I have buffalo and KC because of their schedules, but I'm debating on whether or not to pick up the rams rather than KC. They are playing great and have a favorable ROS too.

Romo (easy schedule and just out up a 30 spot in my league)

Mett (again, easy schedule)

Latavius

Jarvis

Charles Johnson

Rams D/ST if you're feeling froggy

He can't be much worse than my current starter (Kaep).

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not Gyno...

Yeah I have 3 defenses already Eagles, Steelers, Houston. Eagles and Houston for their schedules and high upside in the TO/ST categories. Steelers for maybe being solid with Polamalu back.

Obviously sarcastic. Not sure Mett is a top 25 QB.
