I'm not sure what to tell him on this one. Thomas Jones, Rudi Johnson, Fred Taylor, and Derrick Mason are available on waivers. I'm pretty sure Thomas Jones has the most value out of all of those, but I'm still not sure who he should drop, or if he should drop anyone at all. Is Mason more valuable than Ginn? Oh, not PPR and not dynasty.

Here's his team (10 man):

QB Jay Cutler
QB Donovan McNabb
QB Jason Campbell
RB Joseph Addai
RB Brandon Jacobs
RB Edgerrin James
RB Selvin Young
WR Reggie Wayne
WR Chad Johnson
WR Greg Jennings
WR Ted Ginn Jr.
TE Jeremy Shockey
TE Benjamin Watson
K Mason Crosby
DST Pittsburgh

How man WR QB RB do they need to start? I'd say drop Ginn and pick up Jones. I would also consider dropping a qb or TE to pick up Rudi.

Mason is a good receiver...just not for fantasy. If it was PPR it would be a different story because he gets a lot of catches, but he doesn't get many TD's out of it and not too many yards. 3 QB's seems unnecessary unless the league requires you to start two of them. Fred Taylor had a good season last year and if he stays healthy will most likely put up the best numbers out of those other running backs. Rudi Johnson should have a good year as well. I'd say it's a toss up between those two

Is this a Yahoo league? That's the only way I can see getting that team in a 10-man draft and having Thomas and Rudi still sitting there on waivers.

Pick up Thomas, dropping either Ginn or Watson. If it's a 2RB league, maybe drop Edge instead. He may even want to look into trading McNabb if he can get good value, especially if Campbell looks hot in the regular season.

Honestly though, he could make no moves at all and have a pretty good shot at the championship.

drop ginn........

[stoshuaj]

join a league that is either large enough or has sense enough to not have any of those players available as F/As

No they were all drafted, but people dropped them to waivers for other people. More suprising.

The league is QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, TE, K, DEF league. That's why I'm not sure about dropping the only WR he has on his bench. I don't know much about Miami, so I don't know if Ginn will outperform Mason.

He's thinking about dropping Campbell for Jones, but he wants to take Johnson as well from the other teams. That might not be necessary though.

first thing i thought as well. edge is going to lose goalline carries to hightower, who zona sees as a mb3 type of runner.

also, taylor is a good option, he gives maybe 5 tds, but always puts up around 1000 yards. so he is consistent.

and id drop ginn for mason. he is the only receiving option on the ravens. ginn is still unproven, plus when brown was healthy, he got a lot of targets as a receiver.

My first thought is how much do I have to pay to get into a league where Rudi and T Jones make it past the fifth round, let alone free to pick up.

No way this is a 10 team league, more like 4 or 5.

I would drop Campbell, James and Young and pick up Jones, Rudi and Mason.

To your friend:

Drop Jennings or Selvin Young.
