Judging by their schedules and production so far I would drop Sidney Rice if I wanted Britt instead.

Thanks for the reply.  Would you do it? 

Also, thoughts on the line up?  My receivers… well… I wonder if a coin flip would do it this week!

Last week I dropped Brandon Marshall for Burleson and then this week dropped him for Britt. Just stashing Britt in case one of my WR gets dinged up. Britt has some nice playoff matchups and before the hamstring injury he was on a tear. He scored in 5 straight games and had a huge game with Collins at QB.

By the looks of things in Minn their new coach is going to feature the run game and play solid D. Favre is having a very disappointing year and that effects all the receivers. IMO Rice is expendable.

Yeah CJ is a start, but beyond that you have to go with your gut any sleepers on your WW with better matchups.

BTW…....MSW has been ruled out and Steve Smith NY is doubtful and usure when he comes back how much he will be limited.

Heres who I like out of the WW in this order:
Meachem
Ford
Mason
Alexander ( wouild like him more if he played more snaps…...too risky for me)
Hester

Seriously MSW’s out?  Argh… Thanks for the suggestions.  At this point I’m considering dropping both MSW and Rice.

One more thing Percy harvin having migraines again and is a game time decision (pretty sure he plays) if not Rice gets a bump in rankings. ( I still wouldn’t trust him at this point)

Well… I am trying not to enganger playoffs by just picking up one week plays.  I’m questioning my chances of winning regardless this week (sad, yeah).

I just noticed the following on the waiver - would you drop MSW or Rice for any of the following?

Britt
Addai
Hightowner
Ivory
Torain
Morris

Yea MSW is out this week and I have Mike Thomas who now becomes more playable for me in my flex spot over Denario Alexander even though Alexander plays Arizona so im still not sure on that one.  What do you think Black Bird?  Thomas has trouble on the road and Alexander is suppsed to have a good game and I have to win and im playing #1 this week.

I dropped Burleson for Kenny Britt too.  I would agree with Black Bird on this.  Dont know about dropping MSW unless your picking up someone elite.

Britt, Torrain and Addai are players that may help in the next few weeks. They are all nursing injuries, but due back soon.
Britt looks closest to being fully healthy and again has a nice matchups for the playoffs.

Ivory will play this week and should see the goal to go carries along with 8-10 more carries the downside for later is that its crowded in NO backfield
Hightower and Morris are not worth a roster spot in my book.

Once again I agree!  Spot on!  Grab Britt for Rice and if you really want to drop MSW then get Addai but I just dont know about dropping MSW.

thanks! I checked it last night (and this morning?) and it hadn’t yet said anything about MSW.  He’s so ridiculously reliable (lol).
