That's a little rough. IMHO, you could cut Ginn, Clay and Bradford lose.. depending on what options are out there.
You could toss Spiller and Bowe on the trade block. Both had respectable games this week, might be able to find decent value.
The only players I wouldn't deal, baring some sort of blockbuster steal for you would be Ryan and Dez.
Obviously you're biggest weakness is RB..so target the teams heavy in RB and light at WR.

Sadly there really isn't too much out there.

Fred Jackson
Jason Snelling
James Starks
Austin Pettis
Santonio Holmes
Mendanhall

Are these waiver guys? I would think Jackson and Snelling are worth a shot. At least Dez did well for ya today.

Just picked up Snelling as a FA.. Jackson I would have to go through waivers

Danny Woodhead is also on the waiver wire

 

[redseat]

Nothing will help now since I am 99.9999999% sure who I have left playing will not get me to 1-3 and I will go 0-4 after this week

Woodhead had a damn good game today. He seems to be fitting into the Chargers passing game plan quite nicely. Of course, he's killing Mathews.

Yes that he is. So Should I try to get Woodhead as well? Keep Matthews... Could be a good punch

I'll let the more qualified guys answer that...but as a Mathews owner, i'm getting a little fed up with him, myself. He just doesn't look like he fits in their type of offense.

I would say trade Mathews, but you won't get sqwat for him. As for the FA pickups. .both Woodhead and Jackson mean two slots filed by one team's RB's.. with rare exception never a great plan. .. if you do pick them up.. baring injury, there aren't options to chose from...you're going to start Mathews and spiller, right?..Jackson and Woodhead are just occupying space.
At 0-3, soon to be 0-4..You can't afford handcuff insurance, you need as many playable options as possible and play the match ups as best you can.
Grab Snelling I guess, should get a decent week or two out of him before SJAX returns. If you do go after Jackson or Woodhead..be very aggressive trying to deal Spiller or Mathews, give yourself some choices.

 

[TREFF]

Even Mendenhall would be a better option than one of your starters backups. Even though the backups might outscore the starters, they'll likely be doing it on your bench. There at least is a chance that Mendy's match up on any given week might give you a viable alternative.

Did pick up Snelling but is it really worth wasting a potential waiver option on Jackson and or Woodhead? I mean I know my RB crew isn't anything special but I could get more value out of a WR, no?

 

[TREFF]

It's possible. . but with Dez, D. Bowe, Edelman, Ja. Jones, and Mike Williams, whoever you get will be nothing but potential bye week fill ins, your starting WR's will always be someone from that group.

And its not like these guys suck either. I just don't get why I can't win!

 

[TREFF]

My guess is that the strongest aspect of your team, the WR's, are historically also the most inconsistent. .thus the age old theory that you Draft 2 RB's in your first 3 picks. In general, they are more consistent scorers, even though guys like Dez can have bigger weeks from time to time. Your guys aren't having their big weeks at the same time, and you don't have the consistent RB's to balance those bad weeks out in the standings.

 

[Chef99]

Huh. To Mathews' credit, he did score me 10 points, the most he's scored so far this year. Unfortunately, it was on my bench.

 

[redseat]

Well I am done for this week... Up 10.14 points but he has Jimmy Graham left to go tonight. Do I finally get into the "W" column?
