Rookie Draft Complete - Final Cuts

Postby Eli4Prez » Sat Aug 07, 2021 6:48 pm

Rookie draft was just completed I currently have 29 players on my roster and need to get down to 25 the Monday prior to the opening game. I will still attempt to package some assets into trading for a higher tiered loan later but if I can’t my cut list right now is:

A. Mattison
A. Trautman
Z. Ertz
R. Penny

I own Carson to Penny is a tough cut, what does the group say in there another player to take his place?

I think those are your for sure cuts, but take 10 cents on the dollar to trade them if possible.

Your cuts look good to me. If you want to gamble on Trautman with his value raising, you could always swap him for Engram as a keeper/cut.

With Russel and Kyler already on the roster in 1QB format, I'd consider keeping Trautman over Zach Wilson. Then you can cut Engram and keep Penny as a handcuff.

No issues with your cuts but wouldn’t think twice about cutting Zach Wilson either. I’m not high on him and in 1 QB he’s never gonna play for you barring injury. I’d offer him up for trade. Somebody might can use him but he’s useless to you.

Do you have to carry a kicker and defense? If not, I’d cut them and wait until week 1 to pick up starters—if you have injuries before then, IR spots take care of your cuts; if not, you’re no worse off than you are now.

I'd cut Engram rather than Trautman

Trautman is unknown enough to still ascend to a TE that matters in fantasy and makes a difference. Engram is proven garbage
