Subject: Is Eddie Royal worth dropping for Chris Henry


  Posted by: Baller222 - [27282722] Wed, Aug 27, 2008, 23:32

I currently have Eddie Royal as one of my backup receivers in a keeper league that starts 3 WR's.

My Wr's are: Marques Coltston, Greg Jennings, Nate Burleson, Kevin Walter, Deshaun Jackson and Eddie Royal.


I was wondering if you think I should keep Eddie Royal as he is possibly starting in Denver and see how he does in the first few weeks, or should I drop him for Chris Henry of Cincinnati, who could be a stud starting in week 5 after his suspension?

Kick the tires with Eddie Royal and if he doesnt do anything weeks 1 and 2, drop him for Henry.

If Henry is there now chances are he'll be there in two weeks.

I mostly agree with Slizz, but even if Royal isn't completely awesome out of the gate I'd be hesitant to drop him early. Everything I've heard about Royal has been positive to include earning a starting spot. Does your keeper league give points for return yards? Just an added bonus with Royal if it does.

I agree with both posts. Royal is returning kicks and punts and starting WR for now. Henry could be more worth it, bu also remember that Utecht is the de facto 2rd WR right now and if Tj and CJ are healthy, they are going to get theirs. You can't double both.
