I think he's an awful human being, and in a league where scumbags like Greg Hardy finally got chased out I can't work out why a guy who beats children still has a job.
But since someone's probably going to come in with the "stick to sports" line... it's a crapshoot? He didn't do anything for the Saints because a one-dimensional old guy who can't catch didn't make any sense for the Saints in the first place (I'm still legit confused and disappointed that they signed him in the first place).
With the Cards he's on a team where they don't have any other viable running backs, at least until Johnson comes back (if he comes back this year) so maybe the workload is there. They're gonna be starting Drew Stanton for the forseeable future, so maybe they need to run it more... but on the flipside it's still gonna be a pass-first offense, AP still can't catch so Ellington will prob keep getting the passing down reps and he's still, y'know, old and injury prone.
In fantasy football I guess the question is if you drop him, who would you be replacing him with?

I dunno what format your league is, but I'd say you're carrying way too many backups - especially for how thin you are at receiver. Brees has already had his bye, for example. In what situation are you possibly gonna bench him in favour of Goff? And there's almost never any need to carry a backup defense, let alone a backup kicker.

I said to friends right after his good game, trade him. He has no value in the receiving department, and Arizona usually plays from behind. Also, the Cardinals schedule is pretty rough for running backs for the next month (except vs the 49ers in week 9).
Carson Palmer getting hurt was icing on the cake. Drew Stanton will most likely kill Peterson in fantasy. I told one of my brothers to trade him right after his good game. He just traded him with Sammy Watkins for Chris Thompson. That's a good trade, if Thompson doesn't get hurt. All in all, I hope Peterson proves me wrong!

I guess so - in the case of Goff, you don't need him for a bye week fill in because Brees has already had his bye. So unless there's a week on the schedule you can see where you really don't think you'd want to start Brees (and I don't see any FWIW - it's not like he's got @Jags or @Seattle on his schedule or anything), then Goff is probably just taking up room you could use elsewhere.
That said, it all depends what you can get for him / who's available. I'm guessing if you've got Kearse playing at WR then there aren't a lot of quality receivers available in your league?
