Would you drop Pettis to pick up Callaway?

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

Would you drop Pettis to pick up Callaway?

Postby UATahoe » Fri Aug 10, 2018 10:25 am

Understanding the risks with Callaway, would you guys drop Pettis to pick him up off waivers? Our roster is limited to 8 WR's so in order to pick him up i have to drop one.

Valdez Scantling, Keelan Cole, Taywan Taylor, and Tyrell Williams are some other WW adds that are intriguing.

I would drop Meredith before Pettis, you are pretty well set at WR, and we know what Meredith is, and Pettis and Callaway have higher ceilings.

Interesting. I am surprised most are ready to give up on a guy that quick who posted close to 1,000 yards in really his only season as a consistent player. Being the number 2 in New Orleans seems to be a really good fit that could be pretty relevant.

But i guess i see the point in thinking my depth is fine and for the end of bench guys i should take shots on potential and who could eventually be a number 1.

It's not an ideal cut, and I'm not "giving up" on him, but considering your roster and league settings that would be the guy I cut if I had to. He's a solid player, but he's never starting for you unless something really bad happens, and quite frankly he's nothing special. Pettis and/or Callaway are talented young players that could develop into starters or more likely solid trade assets for you.

Pretty much the definition of a roster clogger. Too good to cut, but not good enough to start or draw trade interest.

No way I'm cutting Pettis for Callaway. Maybe Meredith as has already been suggested.

I can definitely see the logic and i think i might actually take the chance on dropping Meredith for Callaway and the upside. Worst case, i just drop him back and pull another filler from the pile honestly.

Why is your league limited to 8 WRs per roster? Assuming 12 teams that means less than 100 WRs can be rostered - and definitely puts the hurt on rebuilding teams. Are there limits for all positions or just WR?
Please speak to clarion contrarion before considering the use of vetos..

Honestly, it was an oversight and automatic setting on ESPN limiting numbers at each position and instead of just changing and letting those who jump first have a field day, i was going to wait until waivers started in the first week of the season to do away with the limits. That way there is some order. LOL There were limits on all positions.
