Fantasy Football Trash Talk? Mike Tolbert and Other Players You Need To Dump

Each week in fantasy there are always the mainstay articles that deal with Start-Sit questions and injury updates like this one here.

But we don’t normally come across articles that directly deal with taking to trash out.

This week, I want to take a short look at which players have been garnering the most questions in regard to what to do with them, in an effort to clear the air.

Let’s take a look.

WR, Mike Sims-Walker, Jaguars

I feel like a boss about to fire someone, but it is officially safe to get rid of Sims-Walker if you haven’t already. The problem is there are too many issue mounting up, and not enough reasons to suggest otherwise.

The O-line can’t block, the QBs, David Garrard (concussion) and Trent Edwards (thumb), are dealing with some injuries, the ground game has been lack luster and Sims-Walker has been good for maybe four catches a game, and I don’t see anything changing for the better.

RB, Mike Tolbert, Chargers

 This is one guy who has really gained a lot of attention in the past couple of weeks, but his roll in San Diego will significantly drop as the weeks go by, making him dead weight on your roster.

Tolbert is still considered the goal-line back in San Diego, but with all of the other scoring options in a pass-first offense, I believe Tolbert’s fantasy value will plummet in the next two weeks.

WR, Jason Avant, Eagles

 Avant may not yet be a hot topic in fantasy, but his value just took a significant increase with DeSean Jackson’s injury. Don’t think the Eagles can rely on Jeremy Maclin and Brent Celek alone, this is a team that needs two WRs on the field at all times, and Jason Avant knows the system well.

There are report, now, that Jackson may miss a couple of weeks instead of just one making Avant’s short term value noteworthy. I would take a chance on him if you are in need of a WR.
