Do you think I'll be okay with Spiller and Best on my team. I think both of their teams have young QBs and will continue to have the ground game as their main offense.

I think having Bryant and Tate on my bench is more of a wait and see how much they contribute. But my league does give 1 point for every 10 return yards so Harvin and Tate could rack up some extra points if they have significant ST roles.
No, but i am curious to hear your thoughts on why you picked up anthony dixon as gore is the man in sf.

just a hunch. Either he could get goal line touches, or just the fact that I think he would share time with Westbrook if Gore takes a game or two off, like he has the last 3 seasons due to foot injuries.

Why take someone who MIGHT see playing time when you can get someone you know will play and get touches.

It's not like anyone else is going to pick him up and rob you of him. Barely anyone outside SF even knows who he is.

ya well most guys in my league know who he is. I guess I'm just a "I told you so kind of guy." and if I put him on waivers then there is a chance I wont get him if Gore goes down.

Or I could cut him for someone like Mark Sanchez and start a 3rd QB in my Offensive Player slot instead of a 4th RB.....

I don't know the particulars of your league so you just have to make the best decision you can on that. Honestly I almost got him myself, but that was before Westbrook came in, and there was better and more reliable talent out there.

This Dixon craze is becoming pretty annoying.

Why do you have a 3rd string RB?

Pick up Nate Davis while you're at it.

what wrong with him being my last pick? He could be my Mr. Irrelevant, but I don't trust Westbrook as a steady full game back up, and I don't trust that Gore will start all 16 games....
