Ok....

Team is

Rivers (I know)

B. Jacobs
Marion Barber
W. McGahee
Chester Taylor
D Rhodes
D. Foster

R. Curry
B Edwards
Greg Jennings
Reggie Wayne
Colston

Jason Witten

Shayne Graham

Packers D
Cowboys D

I need to drop somebody for a QB (and unfort it will prob Damon Huard

). The top players to drop would be either Foster, D. Rhodes, or Taylor. I need the depth at WR because of bye weeks and the fact that other teams will need WR's soon. Deangelo Williams was just dropped so that makes Foster less valuable in my opinion. Rhodes and Taylor both could prosper because of who is ahead of them and injuries. What do you all think? Any help is appreciated.

Rhodes. With all probability, he will be there if/when you need him later on in the season. I don't see him being a real high fantasy comodity right now.

i would drop a defense first, my next one would be rhodes and then maybe taylor. taylor is backing up peterson right now but peterson could hit the rookie wall or is injury prone anywyas. rhodes even if jordan were to go down would still be splitting carries. i say defense first because i only carry one defense and 1 kicker at all times. it opens up a roster spot for a skill player. just drop the d or kicker during the bye week and you can usually pick it back up afterwards.

Thats generally what I do but there are few defenses in our league but they tend to get picked up by the end of the year. I don't think my waiver spot would allow me to pick the Packers back up before somebody else could pick them up. I think I am dropping Rhodes at this point.

IMHO, i would probably go with Rhodes or a Defense if your team only starts one defense everyweek.

I agree with everyone here. But I'd drop Rhodes 1st like they said earlier that he's not a hot fantasy need right now. Then I'd go with a one of D's then I'd settle for Foster.

I just dropped Foster in my league a couple of days ago and nobody as of yet picked him up. So that shows me where his value stands right now, even though he gets all the carries but it equates to no production.

i would drop Rhodes or the coboys D, they aren't that good this year and the packers D is much better and has already had their bye. but, it's nice to have to D's to choose to see has a weaker offense to go against, but drop Rhodes
