League Expanding - Need to cut players

Postby wizo1fan » Sun Jun 24, 2012 7:57 pm

Hello everyone -

Okay, here is a scenario I have not seen before.
Currently in a 10 team dynasty league - rostering 25 players per franchise - NO PPR - 6 points all TDs - Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, K, D
We are adding 2 teams this summer and the process is requiring each existing franchise to cut down their rosters to 15 players which must consist of at least 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Team Defense and 1 kicker. The other 6 players can be whatever position I want. Following the draft, we will build our rosters back up to 24. Should be a fun experiment (in my opinion). I have picks 1.4 and 1.10 in the rookie/free-agent draft coming up too.

Who do you keep here? I have bolded my initial thoughts on whom to keep.

QB: Stafford and Dalton

RB: Foster, CJ2K, Lynch, Hunter, Delone Carter, Hightower, Karim, McKnight, Bernard Scott, Pierre Thomas, Ware

WR: Roddy White, Steve Smith (CAR), Lloyd, Santana Moss, Decker, Greg Little, Doug Baldwin, Ochocinco

TE: Fred Davis, Daniels

Kicker and D

Thanks everyone.
Dynasty League - 12th Year - 2007, 2010 & 2011 Champion

Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D

QB - Carr, Mariota & Chad Kelly
RB - Cook, Mixon, Lamar Miller, Sony Michel, Marshawn Lynch, Doug Martin, Nyheim Hines
WR - Keenan Allen, Cooks, Sutton, Hogan, Shepard, Boyd, Lockett, Doctson, Wims
TE - Kittle, Jonnu Smith, Clay, Goedert

Looks pretty close. Only thoughts I have would be nitpicking -- perhaps Pierre Thomas over Kendall Hunter, but I see why you'd prefer Hunter, and I might keep Baldwin over Moss because of your depth at the position. I doubt you'll ever play Moss, so I'd roll with the younger player.

Yes, you have several older receivers in Smith, Moss, Lloyd and White. I agree that keeping Baldwin might help balance the age of the team. I like Hunter's potential better personally than Thomas. Besides, I'm guessing you draft a RB with the 1.4? I like the selections though.

"I might keep Baldwin over Moss because of your depth at the position."

Yep. Everything else looks good.

I'd go Pierre Thomas over Moss.

Baldwin has potential and yes he is young. Also dont sleep on Hightower i know everyone is fixed on Helu and his "RB to own in Washington" but as of right now Hightower is starting. And i would take that over a RBBC situation for a back up like Thomas in a passing offense with Ingram and Sproles ahead of him.
