Drop Branch?

Eagles5485 · 09-06-2006, 04:34 PM

Anyone think he'll end up staying or is he worthless for this season?
If drop, is D. Gabriel worth it. Never seen him play, but he'll be taking Branch's place.

I got Branch and am keeping him. Not sure why I am, but I guess if he comes around late in the year he could help me in the playoff run. I guess it REALLY depends how many players on your team. If he was on my team and I had 11 starters and only 5 bench slots I would probably dump him. But we have 9 bench slots so I have room to keep him around.

I don't have him on any of my teams but in all 3 of the leagues I'm in he has been dropped.

dont drop branch!! he is bound to end the holdout one way or another well before week 10. he just filed a grievenace with the nfl against the pats for not honoring the apparent mutual agreement between him and pats that if he found a team that the pats would trade him. he will be on the move soon. its just too early to just let him go, unless you are banking on him to be your #2 WR, then you gotta find something.

It's a tough choice. There's no way he's winning his grievance. Word is he plans on holding out til week 10, but who knows? It's tough to see him coming back to the Pats, but they didn't even bother to counter any trade offers.

Don't drop him, but I would be hard-pressed to play him the first week.

Dynasty Champ · 09-06-2006, 09:34 PM

I have to agree...Definitely don't drop Branch...Be Patient, He'll work something out.

Be Patient.

you absolutely cant play him unless 0 pts in that spot sounds good to you. gotta wait at least 3-4 weeks into the season in my opinion.
