Brandon Jacobs is available in my league. Should I drop someone for him now? (ESPN league)

Here's my bench:
DeAngelo Williams, Car RB
Isaac Bruce, StL WR
Warrick Dunn, Atl RB
Matt Leinart, Ari QB
Jerry Porter, Oak WR
Brandon Marshall, Den WR
Dominic Rhodes*, Oak RB O

My starting QB is Peyton, so giving up Leinart wouldn't really hurt me. (Schaub and some others are available on the wire if I need one.) Rhodes is suspended for 2 more weeks, but then could challenge for the starting Raider job. He might be the best move though. Will Jacobs be the starter when he comes back?

Others avalable:
Antwaan Randle El, Was WR
Shaun McDonald, Det WR
Greg Jennings, GB WR
Mike Bell, Den RB
Chris Henry, Ten RB
Deshawn Wynn

Drop Dominic Rhodes for Jacobs. Jordan is playing well.

[Evolve]

Do you guys feel the Dominic Rhodes will be of value when he comes back or no? I currently have him and i am reluctant to let him go because of the possiblity of him doing well after i drop him.

[Spellmen]

No, I do not see Rhodes being of any value. If anything, he will split time with Jordan, so Rhodes will be in the same situation he was last year, except on a worse offense. Jordan is playing very very well, and is not going anywhere while still healthy

[Austiger]

Okay I'm an idiot. Brandon Jacobs is not available. So...

Should I drop Dominic Rhodes for a kicker or defense or just hang on to him? (ESPN standard scoring)

I currently have Jags D/ST @ Denver and Shayne Graham (Cin) @ Seattle starting.

Available:
Pittsburgh vs. SF
Chiefs vs. MIN
Raiders vs. CLE
Jets vs. MIA
Browns @ Oak

Jeff Reed Pit vs. SF
Mare NO vs. TEN
Akers Phil vs. DET

EDIT- I see the Jags have a bye next week, so I should go ahead and make a move anyway. Should I drop Rhodes for Pittsburgh D and hang on to the Jags?

Collusion went through my mind also. But the only guy who's been picked up so far is Colston. And the guy who picked up Colston does not like the guy who dropped him (it's a league with a bunch of former co-workers and those two never got along.)

FTR: Here are this guys moves, in chronological order:

Draft: Picked up 1 QB, 8 RB, 3 WR, 2 TE, 1 K, 1 Def
so he has too many RBs and not enough WRs.
9/12:
Dropped: Jamal Lewis (RB)
Fred Taylor (RB)
LJ Smith (TE)
Deion Branch (WR)
DJ Hackett (WR)

9/13:
Picked up:
Jake Delhomme (he only drafted 1 QB)
Chris Brown (RB)
Texans Defense
Randle El (WR)

Dropped:
Deuce McAllister (RB)
Lendale White (RB)

Add:
Shaun McDonald (WR)
Justin Peelle (TE)
Sam Hurd (WR)

Dropped:
Marques Colston (WR)

Add:
John Broussard (WR)

9/18:
Drop:
John Broussard

You could say that he's getting rid of his excess RBs and getting more WRs. Except he didn't. He's ended up dropping each of the 3 WRs he drafted and now still has only 3 WRs, only each of them is worse than the worst WR he drafted.

The RBs is slightly better. He got rid of 4 of them and added 1, but you could somehow make an argument that the 1 he added is sort of equivalent to one of the RBs he drafted, and he needed depth at other positions.

His pickup of Peele is also inexcusable. He's the 63rd ranked TE in the league. Only 13 TEs are even taken in this league. Why reach for such a poor player?

10 man draft, 1/2 pt / rec, no penatly for ints, rest is mostly standard yahoo...

Current team:
qb: B. Favre, V. Young
rb: B. Westbrook, J. Addai, T. Henry (played when matchup is favorable), C. Brown
wr: S. Smith, R. Moss, Larry Fitzgerald, M. Booker, W. Welker, M. Furrey
te: V. Davis
K: J. Reed

Proposed trade:
I gain:
Steven Jackson
D. McNabb

I lose:
Brian Westbrook
Larry Fitzgerald

Im all over this obviously (have too many wrs anyways and an elite QB is really all I lack) but am confused by why Jackson and McNabb have been doing bad, I havent seen a Rams game yet, and saw a bit of PHI vs WAS game.

Are they just having bad games or what?

Never carry 2 DEF or 2 Kicker unless you absolutely have to. I would drop Jacksonville for Pitt anyways if they are available. Then drop Rhodes for a Wynn or Chris Brown or someone.

10 man league and you have Addai, Westbrook, Henry, Smith, Moss, and Fitz? Nice league.

Ya, free $$$

[MinRaise]

I have an interesting decision. I have Gore, Edge, Cadillac, D. Foster, and C. Brown at RB, excellent depth for a 12 team league. I can start 2 on a weekly basis plus 1 flex, but the scoring system makes WRs a viable flex option.

Should I trade Chris Brown for DeAngelo Williams so I own both Carolina backs? I personally believe Brown has more value right now, but since I don't need him most weeks, it may be better to get Williams and hope he or Foster emerges and becomes top dog. Should I pull the trigger on this deal?
