This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Need to trim roster by 5 players

Postby georgetown » Sat Aug 05, 2017 1:16 pm

Team 2 below.

We cut down from 28 - 25 once the regular season starts and then I want to move two more players in order to add Cam Newton and Jameis Winston's backups.

The guys I'm considering that I'd cut:
Bucky Hodges
Jay Cutler (if he ends up not signing with Miami)
Kenyan Drake
Albert Wilson
Ishmael Zamora

My question is are any of those guys worth keeping around? or should I try and do some 2-1 one trades and what type of players in return should I expect? or are any of those guys worth a draft pick?
Team 1
12 team PPR, 6pts/passing TD

I'd drop Wright, Wilson, and Quiz. I'm not a Quiz believer even though he'll get a shot at lead back duties. So maybe deal him to the Martin owner for a pick.

I agree with Wilson and Jaquizz, though I think there's a chance Wright could surprise some people on Chicago. There are enough other cut candidates on the roster that I would take a flier on him for now.

I'm in a similar situation with Wright myself. Right now, he's my last guy on the roster if cuts were to happen today. If any of my prospective cuts play their way onto the roster, Wright would be the first to go, but I'm penciling him in there for now.
Team #1 (co-owned), 1QB
QB - Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, Drew Lock
RB - Melvin Gordon, James White, JK Dobbins, Nyheim Hines
WR - AJ Brown, Dionae Johnson, AJ Green, Curtis Samuel, Brandin Cooks, Michael Pittman
TE - Austin Hooper, OJ Howard

Team #2, Superflex
QB - Desean Watson, Carson Wentz, Drew Lock
RB - Melvin Gordon, JK Dobbins, JD McKissic, Tarik Cohen
WR - DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Evans, Tyler Lockett, Sammy Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Emmanuel Sanders
TE - Junno Smith, Evan Engram

Drake should be kept for sure. Wilson is just a guy and as a Titan fan I have not been impressed with wright. I doubt he does much with Bears. He is unowned in our league with 27 roster spots.

Cuts outright:
R. Louis, I. Zamora, J. Richard, R. Gathers

Pillage FIRST! THEN burn. Doing it the other way around is pointless.
