Someone got desperate, and dropped Marion Barber this week.?

They had to fill in DST position, so they dropped Barber.

I'm going to pick him up.

Should I drop Cedric Benson to pick him up, or Michael Jenkins?

If I drop Jenkins, I'd be short-handed at WR this week.

My RB's are:

Joseph Addai

Adrian Peterson (MIN--duh)

Cedric Benson

    Benson. You're already stacked at RB and there is no need to be shorthanded at WR.

    The BEST case scenario is this - drop Jenkins, pick up Barber, and try and trade Benson for an okay WR before your games start this weekend. You'd have to get that setup ASAP.

    Second best is this - you drop Jenkins, pick up Barber, and hopefully your team is good enough that you can take a 0 at your WR3 spot and still have a really good shot at winning. Then you trade Benson next week sometime.

    Third best - Drop Benson, pick up Barber, and start Jenkins. This way, you have the best chance of winning THIS week. However, you lose the value of whatever you could get for Benson.

    I guess it depends on how well you're doing - if you can afford to lose a game or not. It seems like you're a bit weak at WR, so it might be best to hold out and try to trade Benson for a good #3 WR.

    Definately drop Benson. Also try to get a better WR off waivers for Jenkins.

    If I were you, I would try to trade Benson and Jenkins for a better WR and then pick up Barber. This way, you can get better at the WR position while getting your team down to size and allowing for the pick up of Barber.

    Never play a REC down. even if Jenkins isn't playing at top form, never count anyone out. Benson, who only has 3 tds, will have some problems with the young yet aggressive GB Def. So I would go with dropping Benson, Good Luck.

    drop Jenkins. WRs like him are a dime a dozen. Benson will be useless to you, but someone (maybe the team that dropped Barber) will need a RB badly enough to give you something worthwhile for him.

    If they gonna beat the Bengals, they better run hard and only throw the ball up when needed to make a big play on either 1st or 3rd downs. But marion will be key to maintain ball control and keep the Bengal offense on the bench. If they do that Cowdung 28, Bengals 10

    depends on how many backs you play each week,

    but I would get rid of Jenkins over Benson!

    i would drop benson but i might look at the waiver wire wrs if jenkins is the best you can throw out there. maybe dwayne bowe, andre davis, nate burleson, or even dennis northcutt.

    Drop Benson, Barber is a much better back, and will get

    more receiving yds as well.(Hurry before someone in your league reads this).
