    Default Shattenkirk Dropped

    Is he worth the add or will his +/- be detrimental even if he starts scoring?

    I have the #1 waiver and I'd drop Niskanen.

    Eh...honestly in a 20 team league I'm not sure Shattenkirk is good enough to burn the #1 waiver priority. It's still early and someone better might hit the wire unexpectedly.

    Just read the ramblings and I'm just gonna do it!
    In my 11 year career I don't think I've seen a name/player as big as this dropped.

    I would actually think that in a 20 team league it?s not often a name like Shattenkirk hits the wire. Considering the rest of your D I think I?d make this move.

    This. I think Shattenkirk is risky, but the reward could be very nice.
    I own the player and I'm certainly standing pat.
    He's the most talented dman in NY and at some point he'll get out of his funk.

    I'd drop Niskanen for Shatty pretty quick.

    It's a 20 team league, so that's a very good gamble. Honestly, I'd try and ignore +/- when planning, as it's really hard to plan for well. Sometimes teams that we know will stink, don't, and vice versa - look at Vegas last year.

    I own Shattenkirk in a 14 team league and I'm holding onto him for now. It is extremely early and he has received the message after being a healthy scratch. He should bounce back in some capacity and be fantasy relevant again, especially in 20 team league. Go for it.

    I would pick up Shattenkirk. They paying too much money to sit him, owner just panicked. Other thought is he gets moved at deadline for someone looking for PP Qb.

    He has to be better than anything else in the world (and probably better than some guys riser players) in a 20 man pool. Having said that, I have the#1 waiver spot in a 13 man league and I'm torn on when to use it too so I get the hesitation
