Football: Add/Drop suggestions

First of all, I'm in an 8-team PPR league and this is what my team currently looks like for week 5:

RB	Kevin Smith (Det - RB)	RBW/RBN	Pit	Sun 10:00 am	45%	0	0	0	234	3	16	101	0	0	0	1	65.50

BN	Michael Turner (Atl - RB)	RBW/RBN	@SF	Sun 1:05 pm	43%	0	0	0	226	2	1	5	0	0	0	2	32.10
BN	Jerricho Cotchery (NYJ - WR)	WRW/RBN	@Mia	Mon 5:30 pm	78%	0	0	0	0	0	23	356	1	0	0	0	64.60
BN	Owen Daniels (Hou - TE)	TEBN	@Ari	Sun 1:15 pm	79%	0	0	0	0	0	17	202	2	0	0	0	49.20
BN	Jonathan Stewart (Car - RB)	RBW/RBN	Was	Sun 10:00 am	9%	0	0	0	99	0	7	63	0	0	0	0	23.20
BN	Mario Manningham (NYG - WR)	WRW/RBN	Oak	Sun

Jerome Harrison is on the wire and I'm thinking of picking him up. Who should I drop for him? I'm a little tired of waiting for Jonathan Stewart to get back to full form, but I'm afraid of dropping him if he blows up. Manningham wasn't too hot in his last game, but he was targeted 8 times. I have a feeling I might end up sticking to what I have, but I'd like to hear some suggestions. Feel free to discuss your own players here.

Take a flier

It’s not a bad idea taking a shot on Harrison. He’s got a real favorable matchup this week again against a Bills team that has been abysmal against the run, and his running style fits the Browns offense better. In fact, I think he’s just the better back at this point. After drafting James Davis, I picked him up in one league but didn’t start him already, but I may this week.

Stewart

I’m not so sure he makes an impact this year like everyone projected.. Carolina’s defense is struggling mightily, and that means bad things for the offense. Delhomme is forced to throw more, and that means more of an emphasis on putting the ball in the air and not running the ball.

I think we’re going to see a similar Ray Rice/Willis McGahee split with Harrison and Jamal Lewis in Cleveland. Lewis will be the goal-line back, but Harrison will get a majority of the carries.

Thanks

It was either Stewart or Manningham, and I have more faith in Mario.

Be careful with your expectations for Manningham going forward.

He dropped a few passes at Arrowhead this past week, and they’re going to try and work Hakeem Nicks more into the offense, which means less targets. We’ll see how the situation shakes out.

How do you feel about Mohamed Massaquoi?

I’m thinking of picking him up for Manningham, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was inconsistent as well. Also, I dropped Stewart for Harrison and I’m feeling pretty good about my team right now. Manningham is the only player I have my doubts about.
