Who should I drop/pick up from waivers now that Brandon Jacobs is injured?

Question

Here is my current roster along with their week 2 opponents.

Besides any of my starters, who do you think I should drop to pick up Brandon Jacob's back up, Derrick Ward? I am heavy on WRs so it seems logical to dump one, but I don't know who is worthless to me yet with them all nursing injuries. Since Brady doesn't miss a game (knock on wood) I could chop Cutler too. Also, if I miss Ward on the waiver wire (I have 4th waiver priority), who are some other RBs I should look at? Should I ignore R. Droughns since D. Ward seems to have the job?

STARTERS:
T. Brady QB - SD
J. Walker WR - Oak
P. Burris WR - GB
L. Tomlinson RB - @NE
B. Westbrook RB - Was
A. Crumpler TE - @ Jac
B. Jacobs RB (this is a RB/WR flex spot) - GB (INJURED)
Denver DEF - OAK
N. Keading K - @NE

BENCH
S. Moss WR Bench - @ Phi
G. Jennings WR Bench - @NYG
T. Glenn WR Bench - @Mia
V. Morency RB Bench - @NYG
J. Cutler QB Bench - OAK
New England DEF Bench - SD

Answer 1

Worthless would be Terry Glenn.

Drop him if your going to pick up anybody. Take Ward if he is there. Sometimes a guy like Brown and Jordan (preformed well in Week 1) might be there also. I would stay away from Tatum Bell just because he is going up against the best rushing DEF from a year ago.

If you can't find anybody like that, pick up Ward. He will be getting most of the carries because Reuben is the "FB". Also Ward did pretty well against the DAL DEF this past week. Don't drop Jacobs just because he got injured. He will come back and be the starter once again.

Glenn could be injured for a bit, and with Crayton and their 4th receiver...(forgot his name) Glenn seems like the most worthless one right? Since your WR are so deep, why not get rid of the guy who won't produce for along time, that isn't as valuable as a RB? Drop Glenn

Good luck!!

Answer 2

I have the same problem. My RBs are Tomlinson, Jacobs and LaMont Jordan (yes, I had the #1 pick). I also have WRs Vincent Jackson, Bernard Berrian, Matt Jones, Brandon Jacobs, and Buster Davis (I was just taking the best WRs available when it was my pick and just happened to get the entire San Diego receiving corps - I figured I'd see which ones emerge for the first few weeks and trade the dogs for someone hot on the waiver wire).

My league lets us pick up an emergency 1-week starter as an injury replacement without having to drop anyone. But after the first week, I have to make some kind of a roster move (either drop the replacement or make a trade for him). And, I'm taking Ward as the injury replacement. He looked good when he came in for Jacobs and Droughns is listed (and plays) as a fullback for Ward.

I don't want to let Jacobs go, because he'll be back in a few weeks. So, I'm going to drop one of my WRs next week to keep Ward (who it is depends on their performance next weekend). I'll then probably hang on to Ward as a handcuff for Jacobs.

Answer 3

In a 2d, do no longer even think of roughly it. Jacobs is an exact tier RB and Graham is in no way. in case you are able to drop a backup QB or something else try this, yet while no longer Jacobs is definitely worth dropping Graham
