Cut Bait or Just Wait

I hope you voted this week. Here are some incumbent players who might need ousting come game day. Let us help you exercise your rights.

Jermichael Finley TE, Packers:
It seems almost impossible that any healthy Packers pass catcher would be useless for fantasy, but that seems to be just the case for Finley. The athletic specimen has only one game over six points this season and six games under five. You’d have to think he’d get it going by now, but he’s even losing looks to Tom Crabtree (who?).  While you were waiting on Finley this week, Brandon Myers pulled in two touchdowns for Oakland. Unless you’re pairing him with an injury prone stud, there are better uses of your roster.

Brandon Gibson WR, Rams: Danny Amendola is coming back this week, unless something goes awry, meaning Gibson is going back to fantasy irrelevancy. Chris Givens is the other receiver worth owning on this squad.

Michael Bush RB, Bears: So much talent. So little use. As long as Matt Forte is healthy, Bush is a handcuff in the purest sense. I bet the Raiders wish he was back in Oakland right about now. Too bad he’s not. If you’re in need of wins to stay afloat, don’t hesitate to drop him for someone who can help you now.

Kendall Wright WR, Titans: With Kenny Britt easing back into the starting gig, there isn’t much room outside of him and Nate Washington for worthwhile fantasy consideration in 2012 with Matt Hasselback at quarterback. Hopefully, Jake Locker returns sooner than later and there’s more to go around. I’d hold onto the agile rookie for now.

Ronnie HIllman RB, Broncos: One week removed from an 86-yard game, Hillman plopped a stinker in week nine. He’s got a ton of potential, but the Willis McGahee show is working, so why mess with it? Hold one more week. If he can’t get something going against Carolina, he may not be of use til next year. Oh yeah, if you have him in a dynasty league you should definitely sit tight though.

Jacob Tamme TE, Broncos: Tamme just doesn’t have enough e’s and s’s in his name apparently, as Joel Dreessen gets all the good action in Denver. Tamme has one game over five points this season and isn’t improving. Heck, maybe Dreessen is available in your league. If so, pull a switcharoo.

Kyle Rudolph TE, Vikings: My, how the mighty have fallen. Rudoplh started out gangbusters this season, but has slowed to a crawl as of late. I blame most of this on the now-rattled Christian Ponder. He can’t seem to do much with the ball besides hand it of to Adrian Peterson lately. The fact that Percy Harvin may miss the game this week bodes well for Rudolph’s chances enough so that I’d hold onto him for at least one more week.

Joe Flacco QB, Ravens: It looks as if the run-dominated Ravens are back. Flacco got to call a few audibles last game, but this is Ray Rice’s team. With guys like Russell Wilson and Andrew luck heating up, it would behoove you to go with someone who gets to take some chances.
