My main league is a 5-man keeper league...

Starters are 1 QB, 2RB & 2 WR or 1RB & 3WR, plus a TE, K, and DEF

We have already dropped down to 7 and now need to drop to 5 by 2nd week of pre-season...


My current roster is..

Adrian Peterson
Steve Smith
Larry Fitzgerald
Willie Parker
Jason Witten
Carson Palmer
Chad OchoCinco


I am thinking of dropping both Palmer & Ocho, although I believe both will have strong years. TJ gone, still no TE or running game, and I think both have something to prove this season. However,I think I can draft Palmer at 8 in first round and hopefully pick up Ocho in the 4th round.

I traded a 3rd for Parker in the off-season when I thought I had a deal for Witten, but that deal fell through, so if I drop Parker, it is like I threw away a pick.

I kinda like having

Adrian Peterson
Steve Smith
Larry Fitzgerald
Willie Parker
Jason Witten

#1 RB, WR, and TE, plus Smith and Parker, but they are injury prone.

Basically, can anyone here give me a good reason not to dump the Bengals on my squad?

I'd keep Ocho, and drop Willie. Willie is vastly overrated in fantasy leagues and Pittsburgh will get Rashard Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore a lot more carries.

I would keep Ocho Cinco and drop willie parker as well. If Palmer is Healthy, Ocho Cinco should be back to normal. The Bengals really don't have a feature back so they will have a lot of passing touchdowns if the offense is improved which is good news for Ocho Cinco.

As stated above, Mendenhall is back and Mwelde Moore is there. Both of them have a lot of upside and Parker has had many injuries.

keep ocho and drop willie
