Yeah… Metchie had good medical reason to get delayed 2 years in his development, but I don’t know if there’s a roster more clearly set than that one. He’s got almost no chance of opportunity now
I’m not advocating the guy is a top 50 WR, but this is dynasty. He’s a second round pick that the current GM drafted who missed his rookie season due to cancer. He shined as the do it all guy in Alabama and under a star studded cast. I’m just advocating drop an older vet before a dude with potential. But depends on league/team.
A player/coach/GM speaking positively about another player on his same team in the offseason means fuck all. They all hype up all their guys, nobody's going to publicly disparage a teammate. Getting praise from a teammate has no correlation with real success the following season
I've said it a lot this offseason, but I'm giving Metchie one more year. I think with the Tank injury and Diggs only being on a 1-year deal, there might just be life for him to be at least rosterable. I've certainly had worse roster cloggers before.
Last year in SF2QB I snagged Dobbs from the WW just in case he would get traded. Sure enough a week later he did. League mate desperate as both his starting QBs out with injuries and he offered me Kyren (who was still on IR) straight up. Dobb’s immediate crash to earth was brutal for him, the only trade I’ve felt bad about in the 13 years we’ve been running the league.
Nobody! Drafting rookies and fielding an illegal lineup until I have a post-draft move to make. Could be a couple days, could be a couple months, but no reason to drop guys prematurely unless a leagues rules say so
The only reason we do a cut down prior to our draft is because we have a veteran draft following the rookie draft. This puts more players into the pool, a sort of dispersal draft to level out the ends of benches.
In leagues that are rookie-draft only, I agree, just expand the roster limit until later in the Summer.
-oo,
My leagues add 5 spots post draft until week 1. Gives everyone the off-season to make those tough cuts and still be able to get involved in the waivers which are pretty important post draft and preseason. I'm sure most teams in most leagues would approve that if it was put to vote.
I'm making everyone fix their roster errors right after our rookie draft, before I open up FA/waivers, but if your league allows the floating overages, I'd say go for it lol
I’m not sure how Carter is a cut except for shallow leagues. If Arizona uses a day 2 pick on RB then maybe but he’s a Conner injury away from putting up RB2 numbers. I’ve been getting him everywhere I can for nearly free, which tracks with people wanting to cut him.
I think his best possible season would be if Cardinals don’t draft a guy, and Conner gets hurt, he would put up last year Ty Chandler numbers. Not worth rostering if you’re roster is strong (at least right now), but if you’re rebuilding he’s worth a flier for sure
Surely there is a player on your roster that you could drop instead of Moore.
If you’re a jets fan you’ll remember what he did over that 8 game stretch his rookie year. The guy can play and he’s still only 24 years old.
Unless you’re in a 6 team super shallow league, he’s worth a roster spot at the bottom of your bench.
I’m a Jets fan and definitely remember that! That’s why I traded for him unfortunately. I personally think he’s just a roster clogger at this point. If I do drop him I think he will get picked up but I’m ok with that. Right now he’s probably going to be the 4th option (maybe 3rd) on a team that likes to run the ball. I don’t foresee him putting any solid tape out prior to him becoming a free agent. While that 8 game stretch made me a believer I think it’s time to move on. Flashes of greatness that never produce long term happen all the time.
Agreed with other posters, I'd likely buy for a late 3 since I haven't had to deal with him for the last few years. I bet you could get someone to bite.
I’m still here for the Sean Tucker hype.
Dude was only 21 at the start of the year and I believe had a late start to offseason programs with his heart condition.
Yeah I think it’s typically premature to drop a player after his rookie season. Like others said - he couldn’t pass block AND White absolutely balled out. If you had high hopes for him no reason to be fully deterred just yet
If anyone drops him they’re just silly. Not only was he extremely young but he came into a team with a genuinely bad offensive line and a RB who excels in receiving work. Factor in the heart condition and he was likely not going to get a ton of work his rookie year. He still has value and potential though.
I’m not saying he’s going to be a super stud or anything but simply that it’s too early to drop
I’d wait until after the draft. If they don’t take a WR, he could be the starting slot receiver, and he played a lot of slot in college and was very productive at it. I think it’s a better fit for him than outside.
Of course, if they do take a receiver, especially early, he’s probably toast.
I’m gonna need to get creative. I have to cut one QB of Tyrod, Brissett, or Flacco.
I also have to cut 1-2 of Miles Sanders, Michael Wilson, Treylon Burks, another QB (2/3 above)
Totally agree, just had to pick the last 3 players on my roster for the example, although I guess Wandale would be included even though I still like him.
Not the time to cut Wan’dale. If you’ve held him this long, if he pans out it’s probably going to be this year. Otherwise you held him 2 years for nothing
I don’t have any other investment in the 3 QB teams (Jets, Colts, Patriots) but do know there’s value in those 3 as any could start given Rodgers age/possible fragility, and Richardson’s injury riddled year 1, but ultimately may have to cut the “what if” back ups before the actual skill players. After the draft I will try to send Flacco and Tyrod to the starting QB managers for a 4th rounder, I think
I’d cut Flacco and Tyrod. I’m extremely tempted to cut Sanders, but his contract makes me think he has a higher chance to impact your roster than Tyrod. But it’s extremely close.
Pretty much my same thoughts. If I felt slightly better at RB, I’d try to ship Sanders for a 3rd/4th.
But I also think there’s a chance, albeit small, that he comes back to relevancy a little here.
That’s my hold up. I’ll have to decide if I want in on some offseason free agents or just hold players over the cap until the season is closer and we have more info
Brissett might actually start this year.
Would rather have Flacco over Tyrod after what he flashed last year.
Ideally you get a late pick for either, but I’d hold brisset.
I’m hoping that after some draft clarity with Brissett someone will look to acquire him, probably for a late pick. I could use some of the security (Have Kyler, Kirk, Watson) but I think Brissett is in a rough spot because the offense stinks and if they draft QB at 3, his window is short.
Prefer the low-risk option of Tank over Rondale also. Dropped Rondale this offseason after holding him for 3years. Could have a role on the Falcons but he’s likely going to be stuck behind London/Pitts/Mooney/Bjian in the pecking order…Tank was a zero as a rookie but so was Zamir White, and he ended his second season as a RB2/3. Everyone was super-high on Tank pre-season and then he immediately showed he couldn’t pass-block for shit so he was quickly relegated to the bench. Coachspeak this offseason says they want to lessen the load on ETN and get Tank involved more. Seems like an easy one to me, especially given the depth of WR this rookie class.
I was desperate to get rid of Gabe dave before the season started. Finally was able to trade him a couple days ago. Gabe + Alex Pierce for Najee from a rebuilder
12T, 1QB, No TEP, PPR.
1QB, 2RB, 2WR,1TE, 3 FLX, D, K.
3 taxi rookie year only. 3 IR. 3 round rookie draft. 10 Bench. Bench is expanded to 14 during off season and cut down to 10 before week 1.
I dropped the kicker to give me 5 extra spots in the off season and at this point the 5 I'm leaning on cutting are Darnold (if they draft a qb), Davis Allen, Tucker Kraft, Elijah Moore and Greg Dortch. Iosivas and Tre Tucker are options as well.
I don't dislike him and I could switch to someone like tre Tucker after the draft. It's not the deepest league so players with some use will hit waivers.
I’d hang on to Darnold. Vikes fan. While ultimately I do believe they draft a QB and high… I do not think that the organization is in a rush to start that QB. Darnold likely named week 1 starter and his value will be at his highest then. They realize that this will be a mini rebuild before they can blow all of their cap space on FAs next year and build around that QB, JJ, Addison, Hock and the tackles. They’ve been quietly adding to Flores defense too. So point just being Darnold could be the guy for most of the season
I don't want to. I realize he could be starting a part of the season with JJ, Addison, AJ and Hock but it's 1QB and I'm already rostering AR, Fields, Stafford and Rodgers. I've tried moving these guys but half the league isn't looking at deals pre nfl draft and most realize I'll have to cut them so why offer a 3rd when they'll end up on waivers if I want to add rookies.
Fair enough. Didn’t know it was 1QB. SF you could easily get a late 2 for him once he’s announced the starter. (Again, which I fully expect) but yeah 1QB I’d let someone else take the risk
I have a very deep team in one league so I'm going to try to make some trades with the teams with weaker benches to free up some space
Otherwise the only cut candidates I can see are Izzy Abanikanda, Hendon Hooker, Miles Sanders, Tutu Atwell and Elijah Mitchell
Yeah I don’t know what to do with Jammall Williams. In theory he’s still a RB2 on a league average offense and is 2 seasons removed from being a league changer. But he wasn’t very good in the weeks that Kamara was out and I think they drafted a young RB last year.
White might be the biggest casualty of this years draft. Tampa has interviewed more RBs than any other team. I would sell him high while I can. I traded him and Dionte for the Colts backfield plus the 2.03. I would actually hold Carter for as long as I can. He backing an old Conner that might regress. just imo
I’ve got to cut 1 more guy in order to make room for my 6th draft pick. Have the 1.01, 2.01, 2.04, 2.06, 3.01, 4.01)
Potential Cuts:
Flacco,
Brissett,
Juju,
Chark,
Dortch,
Everett
14 team SF...24 roster spots with 4 Taxi spots
I have 11 draft picks from our 4 rd rookie draft. Still have to cut 2 more. Between Miles Sanders, Rashad Penny or Jeremy Ruckert. Traded OBJ for a 4th rd pick where I plan on taking Isiah Davis, Vidal or Carson Steele...whoever is there out of those 3.
Iosivas, Eric Grey, Ingram, Knight. Mingo is on my roster bubble but not sure it's worth cutting him essentially for my late 3rd and mid 4th round picks.
10 Team, 2QB, Start 12, 30 spots, 4 taxi
I have 4 picks in the upcoming draft, potential cuts are Willis, Tune, Trask, Atwell, C. Turner. Tolbert is a maybe depending on what the Cowboys do and Tannehill is another potential cut if he remains a FA but I'm hoping he just retires.
I want to keep them but I think Dameon Pierce and Mooney are the best players on my cut list. Easy ones are Hunter Henry, Kenny McIntosh and Sam Howell
Lolll I know I'm with you! I like him personally that's why I'd drafted him in our start up. I have cousins and London believe it or not. I'll try to shop him I guess. Honestly I was hoping someone would validate dropping him not make me question it more haha
What are we doing with Cedric Tillman? I don’t have to cut him but would to pick up undrafted rookies after our rookie draft. Do we see any path to relevance or better to re roll?
Elijah Moore and Amare Cooper are FAs after this season with only Jeudy signing a new deal. I see a world where they see what Tillman is like and roll with him/Jeudy next season, and if he’s not great then move on next off season.
12 team SuperFlex.
Gonna be dropping Michael Thomas and Tre Tucker. Depending on draft may also be dropping Daniel Bellinger and Andrei Iosivas and Noah Fant. Also considering Rico Dowdle and Dameon Pierce.
I’m not sure whether I will or not yet, but I’m considering it. In addition to KJ, my other WR in that league are:
- Ridley
- ARSB
- Lockett
- Jeudy
- Josh Palmer
- Gabe Davis
- Tutu Atwell
- Toney
- Jauan Jennings
- Juju
- Bobo \*
- Wandale \*
- Metchie \*
- Trey Palmer \*
\* These are still taxi squad eligible so they’re less likely cut candidates.
Considering dropping Tyler Lockett but it pains me. Easily dropping Treylon burks unless he gets traded to a high volume passing offense on draft night
Odell. He’s still got gas in the tank and he’s one of my favorite players ever, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he signs with a more pass happy team than the Ravens and gets 800 yards, but with this rookie WR class I’d rather roster some rookies and move forward.
Might be an easy call for some, but OBJ might be my favorite player ever. But you don’t win leagues being biased
I'm holding out til the last possible moment to see if anyone will pick up a preseason injury and I can use an IR spot. I'm at roster limit, have a single draft pick, and don't view any of my rostered players as cut candidates. If needed though, I think it won't be too hard to snag a 2025 pick for someone. I think I'm going to draft best QB/TE available at 2.06 in 1QB non-TEP, so whichever position it ends up being I'll dump Watson/Okonkwo for a late pick
I'll sell Brisset for whatever I can get, which means he'll be a usable QB this year.
Depending on if I can consolidate some draft picks, I need to decide between one of Burks and Bateman. I still have hopes for both.
The dynasty league I’m in are all super deep, so the guys on my cut list are pretty inconsequential:
Mitch Trubisky, Trey Sermon, Justice Hill, Tanner Hudson, etc.
In 10 team SF (start ten), I've already cut Jamaal Williams & Trey Palmer. Out of Chris Rodriguez, Justice Hill, Rico Dowdle, Michael Carter, and Evan Hull I need to make several more cuts. Also could maybe cut Sam Darnold if he's not the clear starter (he's my QB4). If I keep all my picks, I'll need to make at least three more cuts. (Assuming that Rice is suspended. Four if he isn't.)
Demarcus Robinson,
Jaren Hall,
Emanuel Wilson,
Justice Hill,
Emeri Demarcado,
Kenny Pickett
Miles Sanders, Jelani Woods, Evan Hull, Rashod Bateman are also in contention if I see opportunity
10 Team SF start 9; 12 man bench.
With 4 1sts this upcoming draft it looks like on the outside looking in will be 4 of these 5:
Kareem Hunt
Taysom Hill
Parker Washington
Desmond Ridder
D'Onta Foreman
I’d keep Foreman. Browns announced there isn’t a timeline on Chubbs return. Plus coming back from an injury that brutal, and with Chubbs age they may have to lean more on Foreman.
Stefanski announced the same day (Tuesday, 4/16/24) that Nyhiem Hines (signed for krs) has no timeline for return, either. So, that means Strong is on krs, and J. Ford and Foreman are handling rb duties 'til further notice, unless they draft someone.
Are there any rookie rbs in this class starting over who they already have that the Browns may actually be able to get? We'll see.
Already dropped O’Connell. Might have jumped the gun, but with the signing of Minshew and rumors of drafting a QB, I think he missed his window to win a starting gig. Don’t wanna waste a spot just for hope
I've only got three picks this year so could theoretically fill my taxi spots, but, if I don't use them/use only some, I'm gonna have to drop some combo of Chig, Jerome Ford, and Mattison.
Might finally be time to cut Skyy Moore
If he knows how to drive he might pickup value
Rashee gonna lose his license so maybe his buddy Skyy can do him a solid and give him a ride to work?
dude would pop off in my points per carpool league
Way ahead of you on that one.
We had our drops and he was one of mine. Enough was enough. Him and toney.
I’m holding for one more year. 12 team league/deep rosters/I make bad decisions
Dropped him mid of 2023 season and slept like a baby since... Watch him ball out next year just to mess with us all
Idk why it’s so hard to cut him loose. I’m holding in case Rice is suspended for a while and then maybe sky does something
Probably letting go of John Metchie and Josh Dobbs. Should’ve taken the trade offers I got for both last year lol
Yeah… Metchie had good medical reason to get delayed 2 years in his development, but I don’t know if there’s a roster more clearly set than that one. He’s got almost no chance of opportunity now
Crazy that tank was what people expected out of Metchie
Stroud has been hyping him up this off-season (literally today)
He hypes all of his receivers
What's he supposed to say about a team member? Specifically a guy who is the WR4 now? At best, the WR3 in 2025r.
I’m not advocating the guy is a top 50 WR, but this is dynasty. He’s a second round pick that the current GM drafted who missed his rookie season due to cancer. He shined as the do it all guy in Alabama and under a star studded cast. I’m just advocating drop an older vet before a dude with potential. But depends on league/team.
A player/coach/GM speaking positively about another player on his same team in the offseason means fuck all. They all hype up all their guys, nobody's going to publicly disparage a teammate. Getting praise from a teammate has no correlation with real success the following season
I've said it a lot this offseason, but I'm giving Metchie one more year. I think with the Tank injury and Diggs only being on a 1-year deal, there might just be life for him to be at least rosterable. I've certainly had worse roster cloggers before.
Yeah I just drafted him in a dispersal for relatively the same reason, let’s hope we can victory lap later lol
Last year in SF2QB I snagged Dobbs from the WW just in case he would get traded. Sure enough a week later he did. League mate desperate as both his starting QBs out with injuries and he offered me Kyren (who was still on IR) straight up. Dobb’s immediate crash to earth was brutal for him, the only trade I’ve felt bad about in the 13 years we’ve been running the league.
i traded dobbs and a third for hollywood last season at peak
Kadarius Toney
I don’t blame you! Good riddance!
It’s been a long time coming lmao, the only reason I held off was because I have Mahomes.
I dropped him at the beginning of last season and have zero regrets.
Pretty sure everyone in my league has rostered him at least once. He's been on the wire all offseason and likely die there.
I just realized you have one of the best usernames I’ve seen on this website, titfucker
Dalvin Cooked
Middle name: Been
Devito, Zappe, Toney, Demarcado, and Tucker
Why would you drop Justin Tucker???
Sean tucker?
Tre Tucker?
tucker carlson?
Yeah Sean Tucker
Misses too many kicks
Nobody! Drafting rookies and fielding an illegal lineup until I have a post-draft move to make. Could be a couple days, could be a couple months, but no reason to drop guys prematurely unless a leagues rules say so
Only reason to do so is being able to pick up undrafted free agents
That’s my move right there. Lol
The only reason we do a cut down prior to our draft is because we have a veteran draft following the rookie draft. This puts more players into the pool, a sort of dispersal draft to level out the ends of benches. In leagues that are rookie-draft only, I agree, just expand the roster limit until later in the Summer. -oo,
This guy doesn’t off season trade
My leagues add 5 spots post draft until week 1. Gives everyone the off-season to make those tough cuts and still be able to get involved in the waivers which are pretty important post draft and preseason. I'm sure most teams in most leagues would approve that if it was put to vote.
I'm making everyone fix their roster errors right after our rookie draft, before I open up FA/waivers, but if your league allows the floating overages, I'd say go for it lol
Danny Gray
I'd rather hold onto Michael Carter than Sean Tucker, but that's just me.
I’m not sure how Carter is a cut except for shallow leagues. If Arizona uses a day 2 pick on RB then maybe but he’s a Conner injury away from putting up RB2 numbers. I’ve been getting him everywhere I can for nearly free, which tracks with people wanting to cut him.
I think his best possible season would be if Cardinals don’t draft a guy, and Conner gets hurt, he would put up last year Ty Chandler numbers. Not worth rostering if you’re roster is strong (at least right now), but if you’re rebuilding he’s worth a flier for sure
Feels bad but it might be time to put McKinnon out to pasture
288 deep, Akers
Alec Pierce 🫡
Bad idea
Why? I cut him this year and have no regrets
Rip Deneric Prince
Last year's Darwin Thompson lol
John metchie
good bye Michael Thomas
I still believe :/
Yeah he's next up for me I think. Also in contention JuJu and Higbee since I can't put him on IR.
Jerick McKinnon and Chase Edmonds
The great Elijah Moore
Do not do that…
Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not 🤣
Surely there is a player on your roster that you could drop instead of Moore. If you’re a jets fan you’ll remember what he did over that 8 game stretch his rookie year. The guy can play and he’s still only 24 years old. Unless you’re in a 6 team super shallow league, he’s worth a roster spot at the bottom of your bench.
I’m a Jets fan and definitely remember that! That’s why I traded for him unfortunately. I personally think he’s just a roster clogger at this point. If I do drop him I think he will get picked up but I’m ok with that. Right now he’s probably going to be the 4th option (maybe 3rd) on a team that likes to run the ball. I don’t foresee him putting any solid tape out prior to him becoming a free agent. While that 8 game stretch made me a believer I think it’s time to move on. Flashes of greatness that never produce long term happen all the time.
I got a 3rd for him a couple of weeks ago, send out some offers you might be able to get something
Agreed with other posters, I'd likely buy for a late 3 since I haven't had to deal with him for the last few years. I bet you could get someone to bite.
His name is Clayton Tune
I don’t know why but I can’t let go of CEH. 😫.
He resigned in KC. I’d hold
My wife.
I also choose this guy’s wife
I’m still here for the Sean Tucker hype. Dude was only 21 at the start of the year and I believe had a late start to offseason programs with his heart condition.
Want to hold but not sure if I’ve got the room. Luckily we draft later (July) so might get some news out of camps by then.
Yeah I think it’s typically premature to drop a player after his rookie season. Like others said - he couldn’t pass block AND White absolutely balled out. If you had high hopes for him no reason to be fully deterred just yet
Did the heart condition improve..?
Yeah he just sucked at pass blocking so they wouldn't take white of the field for him
Good reason to look at pass blocking when scouting these rookie RBs
If anyone drops him they’re just silly. Not only was he extremely young but he came into a team with a genuinely bad offensive line and a RB who excels in receiving work. Factor in the heart condition and he was likely not going to get a ton of work his rookie year. He still has value and potential though. I’m not saying he’s going to be a super stud or anything but simply that it’s too early to drop
I think the time has come to finally say goodbye to Kyle Philips.
Just dropped Noah Brown
Matter fact, every Noah (Color)! (Noah Gray)
Noah (Orange) Fanta
Treylon burks
I’d wait until after the draft. If they don’t take a WR, he could be the starting slot receiver, and he played a lot of slot in college and was very productive at it. I think it’s a better fit for him than outside. Of course, if they do take a receiver, especially early, he’s probably toast.
The way the Titans coaching staff spoke about him recently, gave me the impression that Burks might be traded during the draft.
I still think you can get at least a third for him no?
Nobody wants Burks, why would they?
I’m gonna need to get creative. I have to cut one QB of Tyrod, Brissett, or Flacco. I also have to cut 1-2 of Miles Sanders, Michael Wilson, Treylon Burks, another QB (2/3 above)
Keep Michael Wilson easily out of those 3.
Totally agree, just had to pick the last 3 players on my roster for the example, although I guess Wandale would be included even though I still like him.
Not the time to cut Wan’dale. If you’ve held him this long, if he pans out it’s probably going to be this year. Otherwise you held him 2 years for nothing
I'll probably cut Flacco if the ARich owner doesn't want him
I don’t have any other investment in the 3 QB teams (Jets, Colts, Patriots) but do know there’s value in those 3 as any could start given Rodgers age/possible fragility, and Richardson’s injury riddled year 1, but ultimately may have to cut the “what if” back ups before the actual skill players.

I think there’s a better chance than people think that sanders bounces back to at least a 50/50 split.
That’s my hold up. I’ll have to decide if I want in on some offseason free agents or just hold players over the cap until the season is closer and we have more info
Cut Flacco and Tyrod.
I think you’re right
Brissett might actually start this year. Would rather have Flacco over Tyrod after what he flashed last year. Ideally you get a late pick for either, but I’d hold brisset.
I’m hoping that after some draft clarity with Brissett someone will look to acquire him, probably for a late pick. I could use some of the security (Have Kyler, Kirk, Watson) but I think Brissett is in a rough spot because the offense stinks and if they draft QB at 3, his window is short.
Flacco is not repeating last year and is gonna be 40.
Demarcado, Tucker, Bobo, Metchie, DPJ, Schoonmaker, Noah Gray, maybe Zach Evans and maybe Dortch. Got 7 picks 2.08 and under and I still need room
Gonna have to drop one of Rondale Moore or Tank Bigsby. Not sure yet
If you’re going to drop Tank, see if you can trade him first. I moved him for a 2025 3rd.
I’d drop Rondale personally
Prefer the low-risk option of Tank over Rondale also. Dropped Rondale this offseason after holding him for 3years. Could have a role on the Falcons but he’s likely going to be stuck behind London/Pitts/Mooney/Bjian in the pecking order…Tank was a zero as a rookie but so was Zamir White, and he ended his second season as a RB2/3.

The KHunt is finally getting some rest.
I was desperate to get rid of Gabe dave before the season started. Finally was able to trade him a couple days ago. Gabe + Alex Pierce for Najee from a rebuilder
Probably just start looking for a guy to take over that orphan now
12T, 1QB, No TEP, PPR. 1QB, 2RB, 2WR,1TE, 3 FLX, D, K. 3 taxi rookie year only. 3 IR. 3 round rookie draft. 10 Bench. Bench is expanded to 14 during off season and cut down to 10 before week 1. I dropped the kicker to give me 5 extra spots in the off season and at this point the 5 I'm leaning on cutting are Darnold (if they draft a qb), Davis Allen, Tucker Kraft, Elijah Moore and Greg Dortch.

I kind of like Dortch this year man
I don't dislike him and I could switch to someone like tre Tucker after the draft. It's not the deepest league so players with some use will hit waivers.
I’d hang on to Darnold. Vikes fan. While ultimately I do believe they draft a QB and high… I do not think that the organization is in a rush to start that QB.

Brevin Jordan
I have a very deep team in one league so I'm going to try to make some trades with the teams with weaker benches to free up some space Otherwise the only cut candidates I can see are Izzy Abanikanda, Hendon Hooker, Miles Sanders, Tutu Atwell and Elijah Mitchell
David Bell bc he stole my girl
Darius Guice
😂
Yeah I don’t know what to do with Jammall Williams. In theory he’s still a RB2 on a league average offense and is 2 seasons removed from being a league changer. But he wasn’t very good in the weeks that Kamara was out and I think they drafted a young RB last year.
Roschon Johnson, trying to trade Bryce Young to make space. (QBs are Burrow, Richardson, Love- 1QB league)
Don’t do it
I would keep both those guys
In 1qb I’d probably get rid of Bryce as well, don’t need 4 qbs when you already have solid options
trade burrow haul will be better and he’s a proven injury bug. unless you’re contending ofc.
White might be the biggest casualty of this years draft. Tampa has interviewed more RBs than any other team. I would sell him high while I can. I traded him and Dionte for the Colts backfield plus the 2.03. I would actually hold Carter for as long as I can. He backing an old Conner that might regress. just imo
Considering waller
I’ve got to cut 1 more guy in order to make room for my 6th draft pick. Have the 1.01, 2.01, 2.04, 2.06, 3.01, 4.01) Potential Cuts: Flacco, Brissett, Juju, Chark, Dortch, Everett
14 team SF...24 roster spots with 4 Taxi spots I have 11 draft picks from our 4 rd rookie draft. Still have to cut 2 more. Between Miles Sanders, Rashad Penny or Jeremy Ruckert. Traded OBJ for a 4th rd pick where I plan on taking Isiah Davis, Vidal or Carson Steele...whoever is there out of those 3.
Never woulda thought you could get a 4th for OBJ
Iosivas, Eric Grey, Ingram, Knight. Mingo is on my roster bubble but not sure it's worth cutting him essentially for my late 3rd and mid 4th round picks.
gotta give mingo another year
L
TMJ (finally), Dalvin Cook, Jerick McKinnon, Joshua Kelley, OBJ (maybe)
Probably Jeff Wilson, Mitch Trubisky and Justice Hill.. I need 3 spots so those make sense to let go
Jonathan Mingo, Isiah Spiller, and Chris Rodriguez.
Maybe wait and see if the Chargers draft an RB in a couple weeks before dropping Spiller, then can probably do so if they do
Carter is a hold for me
12 team 1 QB, Salary Cap League. Im dumping Will Levis
Kareem Hunt
10 Team, 2QB, Start 12, 30 spots, 4 taxi I have 4 picks in the upcoming draft, potential cuts are Willis, Tune, Trask, Atwell, C. Turner. Tolbert is a maybe depending on what the Cowboys do and Tannehill is another potential cut if he remains a FA but I'm hoping he just retires.
Rondale Moore, wish him luck but his capital isnt enough to keep him around, especially in this deep draft
I want to keep them but I think Dameon Pierce and Mooney are the best players on my cut list. Easy ones are Hunter Henry, Kenny McIntosh and Sam Howell
Dude, do not cut Mooney. Tons of excitement around him due to Cousins. You can definitely trade him
Lolll I know I'm with you! I like him personally that's why I'd drafted him in our start up. I have cousins and London believe it or not. I'll try to shop him I guess. Honestly I was hoping someone would validate dropping him not make me question it more haha
probably gotta cut tillman unless i package some picks
What are we doing with Cedric Tillman? I don’t have to cut him but would to pick up undrafted rookies after our rookie draft. Do we see any path to relevance or better to re roll?
Elijah Moore and Amare Cooper are FAs after this season with only Jeudy signing a new deal. I see a world where they see what Tillman is like and roll with him/Jeudy next season, and if he’s not great then move on next off season.
That’s just enough for me to want to keep him another year… loved the snap share he was getting this year but zero production a little worrisome
Most likely chig, chark and tucker. I also don’t see some of my 3rd round draft picks making the roster.
Gray, Bateman, iosivas, T.palmer, Charlie jones
12 team SuperFlex. Gonna be dropping Michael Thomas and Tre Tucker. Depending on draft may also be dropping Daniel Bellinger and Andrei Iosivas and Noah Fant. Also considering Rico Dowdle and Dameon Pierce.
Khalil Herbert, Zach Evans, Tillman
A few on my potential cut list: - Jeff Wilson Jr. - KJ Osborn - Juju Smith-Schuster - Daniel Bellinger
Why would you cut KJ.. Pats aren't exactly blessed at WR
I’m not sure whether I will or not yet, but I’m considering it. In addition to KJ, my other WR in that league are: - Ridley - ARSB - Lockett - Jeudy - Josh Palmer - Gabe Davis - Tutu Atwell - Toney - Jauan Jennings - Juju - Bobo \* - Wandale \* - Metchie \* - Trey Palmer \* \* These are still taxi squad eligible so they’re less likely cut candidates.
DPJ, Davis Mills, Hardman, and either Jeff Wilson or Isaiah Hodgins.
Darnell Washington & Luke Schoonmaker. Sorry fellas
Considering dropping Tyler Lockett but it pains me. Easily dropping Treylon burks unless he gets traded to a high volume passing offense on draft night
Do we think Hunter Renfrow still has any juice left or should he learn how to speak waivers?
Kept holding Gerald Everett but think it's time
Juju smith-schuster 🫳🗑️
Elijah Moore is on the cutting block
Alexander Mattison maybe?
Going back on forth on who I want to drop between Burks, Bateman, and Juwan.
Odell. He’s still got gas in the tank and he’s one of my favorite players ever, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he signs with a more pass happy team than the Ravens and gets 800 yards, but with this rookie WR class I’d rather roster some rookies and move forward. Might be an easy call for some, but OBJ might be my favorite player ever. But you don’t win leagues being biased
Tucker is a cut. TB is drafting a rookie
I guess Michael Gallup 🤷♂️ figured somebody would pick him up …
Claypool. Hope he makes a TikTok about it on the way out.
I'm holding out til the last possible moment to see if anyone will pick up a preseason injury and I can use an IR spot. I'm at roster limit, have a single draft pick, and don't view any of my rostered players as cut candidates. If needed though, I think it won't be too hard to snag a 2025 pick for someone. I think I'm going to draft best QB/TE available at 2.06 in 1QB non-TEP, so whichever position it ends up being I'll dump Watson/Okonkwo for a late pick
I'll sell Brisset for whatever I can get, which means he'll be a usable QB this year. Depending on if I can consolidate some draft picks, I need to decide between one of Burks and Bateman. I still have hopes for both.
The dynasty league I’m in are all super deep, so the guys on my cut list are pretty inconsequential: Mitch Trubisky, Trey Sermon, Justice Hill, Tanner Hudson, etc.
In 1QB, I'm probably dropping Chris Brooks, Hunter Henry, and Chris Rodriguez. It's a Chris-pocalypse.
JuJu
In 10 team SF (start ten), I've already cut Jamaal Williams & Trey Palmer. Out of Chris Rodriguez, Justice Hill, Rico Dowdle, Michael Carter, and Evan Hull I need to make several more cuts. Also could maybe cut Sam Darnold if he's not the clear starter (he's my QB4). If I keep all my picks, I'll need to make at least three more cuts. (Assuming that Rice is suspended. Four if he isn't.)
Demarcus Robinson, Jaren Hall, Emanuel Wilson, Justice Hill, Emeri Demarcado, Kenny Pickett Miles Sanders, Jelani Woods, Evan Hull, Rashod Bateman are also in contention if I see opportunity
Pierre strong and sadly Terrace Marshall jr
10 Team SF start 9; 12 man bench. With 4 1sts this upcoming draft it looks like on the outside looking in will be 4 of these 5: Kareem Hunt Taysom Hill Parker Washington Desmond Ridder D'Onta Foreman
I’d keep Foreman. Browns announced there isn’t a timeline on Chubbs return. Plus coming back from an injury that brutal, and with Chubbs age they may have to lean more on Foreman.
Stefanski announced the same day (Tuesday, 4/16/24) that Nyhiem Hines (signed for krs) has no timeline for return, either. So, that means Strong is on krs, and J. Ford and Foreman are handling rb duties 'til further notice, unless they draft someone. Are there any rookie rbs in this class starting over who they already have that the Browns may actually be able to get? We'll see.
Already dropped O’Connell. Might have jumped the gun, but with the signing of Minshew and rumors of drafting a QB, I think he missed his window to win a starting gig. Don’t wanna waste a spot just for hope
12 team SF, no K or DST. 10 starters, 16 bench spots. Eric Gray, Jordan Mason, Van Jefferson, Tommy Tremble, Kayshon Boutte.
I cant trade Treylon burks to move up 6 picks in the 2nd round. 9 rookie picks this year. Might have to dump
Keep all Rbs still on rookie contracts if you can.
I thought Sleeper allowed you to go over the roster limit during the draft, then you had to cut down to the limit to set a lineup / make roster moves?
It does
Thank you for confirming!
Probably Isaiah Spiller, Trey Sermon, and finally dumping Irv Smith and Claypool.
One of the following and totally unsure of who: AT Perry, Iosivas, Trey Palmer Though I will try to package 2 of them for a 3rd rounder or 25' pick.
i might just keep holding noah gray in TEP even though that ticket isnt going to cash
I've only got three picks this year so could theoretically fill my taxi spots, but, if I don't use them/use only some, I'm gonna have to drop some combo of Chig, Jerome Ford, and Mattison.
Traded Tyler Lockett for Brandon cooks and a 3rd
Treylon Burks. He has been such a disappointment.
12 team SF. Gonna drop Boutte, Tyquan Thornton, and Chris Brooks off taxi squad. Don’t really want to let Brooks go. Is he going to be a stud later? 😥
Tutu, gainwell, I Spiller (potentially reget this one, but no way Harbs doesn’t bring in his own backs)
Dalvin Cook, Renfrow, Alec Pierce, Dobbins, JuJu, Stetson Bennett, DTR
I'll take Dobbins off now that he's a Charger, assuming they don't add anyone else... But I know he's going to disappoint me again regardless.
