Under-performing players

I'm in a 10 team h2h league and my team is as follows:

PG Chris Paul, Nor PG
SG Andre Iguodala, Phi SG, SF
SF Rudy Gay, Mem SF
PF Al Jefferson, Uta C, PF
C Chris Kaman, LAC C
G Baron Davis, LAC PG
F Nene, Den C, PF
UTIL Jason Richardson, Pho SG
UTIL Michael Beasley, Min SF, PF
UTIL Jrue Holiday, Phi PG
Bench Luol Deng, Chi SF
Bench Beno Udrih, Sac PG, SG
Bench Anderson Varejao, Cle PF, C

A couple of my players, mainly Holiday, Udrih, Nene, and Deng are underperforming. I know I shouldn't worry too much about it so soon, but there are other players available that include Al Harrington, Corey Maggette, J.R. Smith, Danilo Gallinari, Wesley Johnson, Evan Turner, and Derrick Favors. Should I be dropping anyone for any of these players (mainly looking at Gallinari, Evan Turner, and Wesley Johnson)?

What do you guys think?

I'd hold onto all 4. I have Deng and Holiday as well and been frustrated with Holiday the last couple of games. Especially after his amazing pre season. Deng's only played 1 game, so you should wait at least 3-4 games before deciding. Galinari hasn't been performing and the others on the list are bench players so it's hard to get something good consistently.

My thoughts exactly. I'm really close to dropping Udrih for Gallinari. One more game for both and I'll see.

I think long-term both Gallo and Beno will be all right. I'm thinking about dropping Dumbleavy but I figure what's the harm in holding onto him for a few more games :-/?

Waiver wire in my league is also kind of bare right now. Though there are a handful of guys I'm ready to pounce on if a few things happen.

I'm thinking about dropping Deng for Dorell Wright. He's the starting SF for GState. What do you think?

Also, should I drop Jrue Holiday or Beno Udrih for Gallinari now before someone else picks him up?

Personally, I'd pick up Gallo.

Don't drop Deng for Wright. Deng had a fantastic preseason, he's just struggled these first couple games. He'll be a much more reliable producer than Wright when all's said and done. Just comb last season's box scores for evidence.

I'd keep Holiday, but I'da BEEN dropped Udrih for Gallinari. You kidding me? Once he gets over his wrist issue he'll go back to being the guy who single-handedly wins 3's for his owners in some weeks.

um beno's been putting up top 50 numbers, and his ORANK was 170 something

i don't think that's underperforming

personally methinks that with tyreke around, beno isn't gonna do better than 15/4. i still picked him up early cause i'm punting As.

i've been troubled by nene too, but who drops a 3rd/4th rounder? :(
