beinginitself wrote:In a bit of a dilemma and it seems to me the only answer is letting go of Cobb in a 12 team, 5 keeper league - with the hope of drafting him next year.

My relevant team:

QB: Rodgers
WR: Julio Jones
WR: Cobb
WR: Llyod
RB: Peterson
RB: McFadden
TE: A. Gates/K. Rudolph
RB/WR: C. Spiller.

Seems I HAVE to keep (1) Rodgers; (2) Peterson; (3) Julio; (4) McFadden; and (5) Spiller. Spiller especiialuy in lieu of McFadden's injuries. Kind of hurts. But this is the right decision, correct?

I'd maybe not be angsted and be more inclined to keep Cobb had I not made a deal for McFadden a few months back. A game or two before he broke out, I traded Martin and Torrey Smith for McFadden and Lloyd; with the eye of keeping McFadden (of course, pre injury 80). Somewhat mad at self but somewhat not -- this week, in the playoffs, definitely not mad at myself.
Honestly, I would probably keep Rodgers, AP, Spiller, Julio and Cobb. I know you invested in DMC, but Cobb is the real deal and DMC is just always hurt.

I will never draft or trade for DMC again, Cobb is the man and will continue next year when Jennings leaves town

In a 5 keeper league I also have a lot of the same players you have. I also traded for McFadden but am picking
Cobb over McFadden to keep.

I agree with everyone else.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/i ... n-mcfadden

I know some people think that proneness to injury is something we make up, but I seriously think DMC could have brittle bone disease or something.

Cobb is on the way up, McFadden is...well, McFadden. Almost like a RB version of Kenny Britt. Flashes of brilliance, but just hasn't been able to get it done and there is nothing that suggests he ever really will.
Currently in 3 dynasty leagues. Have the IDP itch.

Going into this season:

My RB1 was McFadden, my RB2 was Murray.
My QB1 was Vick, my QB2 was Cutler.

As you can see I had to dramatically overhaul my lineup because of three brittle players.

QB1: Wilson, QB2: Kaep, RB1: Alf, RB2: Murray
WR1: Cobb, WR2: Crabtree

I just had to get rid of Run DMc.
12 Team, PPR, Start: 2 QB's, 2 RB's, 2WR, 1 FLEX, 1K, 1 TE. Keep 6.
QBs: Wilson, Kaepernick, Schaub, Logan Thomas
RB: Bell, Vereen, Sankey, Greene, FJax
WR: Floyd, Cobb, Cooks, Hopkins, Jennings, Baldwin
TE: Reed, Walker
K: Crosby, Suisham

15 Team, Non-PPR, redraft, Start: 2QBs, 2RBs, 3 WRs, 1 K, 1 D.
QB: Wilson, Ryan
RB: Joique Bell, Ellington
WR: White, Floyd, A. Johnson
TE: H. Miller
K: Gould DEF: NE Pats

12 Team, $500 Cap/Auction/Dynasty League, PPR, 2 QB's, 2 RB's, 3WR, 2 FLEX, 1K, 1 TE.
QB: Brady ($92), Manziel ($16), Fitzpatrick ($10), Hoyer ($7), Savage ($2)
RB: Spiller ($85), Lynch ($60), Woodhead ($16), SJax ($19), Cunningham ($1), McKinnon ($1), CJ Anderson ($1)
WR: Garcon ($35), Hopkins ($19), Thompkins ($7), J. Hunter ($4), BMarsh ($65), Tate ($8), Marlon Brown ($1)
