I have no idea what the point of contention is either.

Rivers was unrosterable in a standard league coming into this year. The Rivers owner could have literally any QB1 along with him. A backup QB is worth virtually nothing and despite sucking thus far Bowe still has value because he isnt dead or injured.

^^ If I needed an RB, I'd bid $20-30 for Bell. You don't

I know right now I'm ok on RB, but I worry about Bush and Moreno holding up all year. I'm not sure anyone as good as Bell will be available when they go down.

10/1/2013 2:12:56 PM

just traded Julius Thomas and Schaub and a 9th round pick for Alex Smith and Garrett Graham and a 8th round pick.

QB was killing me and I had Thomas AND Gonzalez at TE

10/1/2013 3:17:53 PM

Rolling everyone in my 12-team PPR league I won last year. This team is pretty stacked, except for maybe QB:

QB: RG3, Eli, Glennon (just for fun!)
RB: Forte, Bush, Murray, Powell
WR: Torrey, Colston, Nicks, Shorts, Edelman, Hopkins
TE: Cameron
K: Dawson
DEF: Titans

Who should I roll with as a FA DEF this week (Panthers, Falcons, Browns, Rams, someone else?)

Who should I possibly pick up as a FA QB (dropping Glennon for Pryor, Hoyer, Smith, Flacco, someone else?)

10/1/2013 3:27:20 PM

Rams

APJ

Anyone Playing Jacksonville

10/1/2013 3:35:05 PM

^^ glad you are winning that but I wouldnt call that team stacked by any means... middle of the road even in our 14 team league.

Who was your second pick after Forte? Bush? Murray?

10/1/2013 3:40:22 PM

Yeah, those were my top 3 picks

10/1/2013 3:42:46 PM

Sitting at 2-2 (2nd in Division) in my 12 team standard league. There are 3 Divisions, and the playoffs have 4 teams ( 3 division winners and team with most points). Division play starts this week, and I was offered Ray Rice for Trent Richardson by a team in my division.

My other RBs are:
Doug Martin
Steven Ridley
Danny Woodhead
Trent Richardson

His RBs are:
Forte
Green Ellis
Pierce
Rice
Ryan Matthews

I took a look at each players schedule for divisional weeks, and it looks like this:

Ray Rice - Week 5 @ Dolphins, Week 6 vs Packers, Week 7 @ Steelers, Week 12 vs Jets, Week 13 vs. Steelers, and Week 14 vs. Vikings

Trent Richardson - Week 5 vs. Seahawks, Week 6 @ Chargers, Week 7 vs. Broncos, Week 12 @ Cardinals, Week 13 vs. Titans, and Week 14 @ Bengals.

Am I dumb for considering this trade?

10/1/2013 4:59:36 PM

I GET
Bowe and Ray Rice

I GIVE
Megatron

im thinking no.

beginning of the season i might have done it...anyone else agree?

10/1/2013 7:13:03 PM

^^That's a tough call, but given your other RBs, I would probably hold on to Richardson. Rice just hasn't done much this year so far. At the same time, if the Ravens could get it together he could blow up down the stretch. Keeping what you have would be the safer play, but Rice may payoff big time if you took a gamble.

^What are your other RBs and WRs?

10/1/2013 7:48:53 PM

WRs
Megatron
Amendola
Royal
Shorts
Blackmon
Tate

RBs
Bush
Mathews
Sproles
Bryce Brown

10/1/2013 8:17:22 PM

I'd probably say no to that trade.

10/1/2013 8:36:44 PM

I agree, you could use some RB help but not at the expense of Johnson.

10/1/2013 9:09:01 PM

0.5 PPR:
Lamar Miller vs BAL
or
Danny Woodhead @ OAK

10/2/2013 8:18:36 AM

^ I'd go Woodhead.



Trade Offer:
I give Mike Wallace & Bryce Brown
I get Roddy White

Other owner has Shady McCoy. Am I overspending? I have Cruz, Stevie Johnson and Chris Givens, so I'm looking for another potential stud at WR. Wallace and Tannehill look terrible together.

10/2/2013 9:12:24 AM

experts are all over woodhead right now

10/2/2013 9:12:32 AM

in a work league with stupid scoring - no PPR, no point per carry, nothing at all related to QB accuracy, return TDs, but not return yards (what?) - I just traded Steven Jackson, Doug Martin and AJ Green for McCoy, Murray, and Bowe.

10/2/2013 1:45:51 PM

Quote :

"Trade Offer: I give Mike Wallace & Bryce Brown I get Roddy White"

if it was me, I'd try to get just a little more. I value white and Wallace basically the same.

would you rather have k. thompkins or j. gordon on your roster? I currently have thompkins, but gordon is available (for some unknown reason).

10/2/2013 4:08:20 PM

thompkins.

hoyer is going to flop at some point

10/2/2013 4:14:43 PM

It will be interesting to see this week (or whenever they are both back) how much Amendola and Gronk will cut into targets for Thomkins. I would think that Eldeman would be the one that would see his role reduced the most since, particuarly when Amendola returns.

10/2/2013 4:50:48 PM

^^ depends on the timetable for Gronk and Amendola returning.

When they come back Edelman and Thompkins resort to the least important options on that team.

10/2/2013 4:50:56 PM

Bye weeks leave me short at WR this week.
TY Hilton vs SEA
Or
Robert Woods vs CLE

0.5 PPR. I know Hilton seems like the obvious choice, but he's going against that SEA D.

10/2/2013 4:52:12 PM

Probably a toss-up, but Woods role in the passin game has been increasing in almost every game. Of course, I'm a bit biased as a Bills fan, but I think he could have a big night against the Browns.

^^Nice.

[Edited on October 2, 2013 at 5:03 PM. Reason : .]

10/2/2013 5:03:08 PM

I'm on the Robert Woods bandwagon. Picked him up in 2 of my 3 leagues. He's firmly taken the WR2 position away from TJ Graham and might even be the Bills' WR1 if Stevie lays another egg or two


having that said, should I start Greg Olson @ ARI or Robert Woods @ CLE in my flex spot? 0.5ppr

[Edited on October 2, 2013 at 5:31 PM. Reason : ,]

10/2/2013 5:28:59 PM

I'd go Woods, higher ceiling IMO

I need an upgrade at WR and have plenty of RB depth in my league. I offered a guy Doug Martin for Demaryius Thomas straight up, he countered adding James Jones to it...I won't necessarily need Jones after the trade, but I feel like I'm giving up a little too much...what say you?

10/2/2013 8:26:34 PM

yards are nice, but TDs win championships. Doug is on pace for 4 this season. Demaryius on pace for 16

take that for whatever it's worth

10/2/2013 8:46:54 PM

I give spiller and jordy Nelson. I get lessen mccoy. I have Steve Smith, Julio Jones, bowe, and stuck with Chris Johnson, eddy lacy. Running back position is killing me

10/2/2013 9:19:26 PM

as soon as my eyes stop bleeding, I'll comment about your RB situation

10/2/2013 9:55:38 PM

He said he would take Chris Johnson instead of cj spiller but it seems like a wash.

10/2/2013 10:04:44 PM

If you can give Spiller or Chris Johnson in a trade and get McCoy, give him Chris Johnson. I repeat. Give him Chris Johnson. In fact giving Johnson and Nelson for McCoy is robbery in almost any league. You should do it before he wises up.

10/2/2013 10:25:25 PM

here's my dilemma.

I've been offered a trade that I plan to accept. I am being given a choice between Demaryius Thomas or AJ Green in the trade...the other owner is willing to part with either of them and has left it up to me. I like Thomas better. But, that would give me Calvin Johnson, D Thomas, Antonio Brown and Cecil Shorts as my main WRs (start 3 WRs...Shorts would be my #4 guy). But in that scenario I'd have Johnson, Thomas, Shorts all on bye in week 9. Would I be better off asking for Green instead? That way my byes would be more evenly spread...am I over thinking this? It's 0.5 PPR btw. Or do you guys prefer Green over Thomas regardless of bye weeks?

10/2/2013 10:55:27 PM

I love the fact that AJ Green is averaging ~13 targets per game. I don't love that he's only catching 51% of the passes thrown his way. He's the most frustrating player on my team. You've got to start him because he's bound to get you a few 20+ point weeks, but you have to live with the fact that there will be weeks he'll get you 7-10 points

Next four weeks for Green: Aqib Talib, Leodis McKelvin, Chris Houston, Antonio Cromartie

[Edited on October 2, 2013 at 11:20 PM. Reason : d]

10/2/2013 11:09:01 PM

^^In terms of Thomas vs. Green week to week it's going to be a toss up in terms of potential points based purely on them alone. However, I'm always going to value a #1 WR with P. Manning as his QB over a #1 WR with Dalton. So if it was me, I would rather have Thomas, and I would figure something out for week 9. Plus, who knows what's going to happen with Shorts when Blackmon comes back so you may be able to drop him ahead of time for one replacement.

10/2/2013 11:31:28 PM

^that was my thinking as well. I was just looking for someone to kinda reinforce my thought process. Thanks

10/2/2013 11:38:42 PM

Can't believe I'm asking.

Romo vs Denver

Or

Pryor vs San Diego

ESPN suggests Pryor, but Romo is the safe pick




I would go for Thomas, take a loss in the bye and hope for the best in the playoffs. But then again, Thomas is more likely to be sitting in the later weeks than Green.

[Edited on October 3, 2013 at 9:50 AM. Reason : Gag]

10/3/2013 9:48:24 AM

1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Matt Ryan
3. Ray Rice
4. Eddie Lacy
5. Joique Bell
6. Andre Ellington
7. Jonathan Franklin
8. Mike Wallace
9. Dwayne Bowe
10. Mike Williams
11. Anquan Bolden
12. Darrius Heyward-Bey
13. Charles Clay
14. Coby Fleener
15. Greg "Legatron" Zuerlein
16. Broncos Def


I'm 3-1 leading my division. My plan was to trade Matt Ryan after week four, but everyone wants Rodgers. I just got purposed Rodgers for Luck and Lamar Miller.

Looking at my Running Back situation. Would you take this Trade?

10/3/2013 10:11:18 AM

No chance in hell. Rodgers is a top 2 QB. Luck is okay and miller doesn't improve your RB position at all.


That trade could fly with Ryan



[Edited on October 3, 2013 at 10:17 AM. Reason : A big COULD. Still hard to pull]

10/3/2013 10:15:11 AM

He's also got Lynch and Bush. I really want Lynch.


I do think Miller is going to get better as the year goes on and I'm not saying that because I'm a Dolphins fan.

[Edited on October 3, 2013 at 10:36 AM. Reason : Hdbsgs]

10/3/2013 10:34:25 AM

In general, if there's a trade of two nickels for a dime, whoever got the dime won the trade. I wouldn't care at all about Luck, you're not going to use him. So basically you're trading Rodgers for Lamar Miller. That's a big no. I would trade Rodgers for Lynch or Ryan for Bush.

My question. Do you think Ben Tate is worth holding onto at this point? I'm thinking about dropping him to get Justin Blackmon.

10/3/2013 11:12:38 AM

Matt Ryan has a bye week six. Colts play San Diego week six and their secondary sucks. There are no free agent QBs in my league.



One thing you gotta worry about with Blackmon is Cecil Shorts.

10/3/2013 11:25:51 AM

^Na, the one thing you have to worry about with Blackmon is Gabbert. Think Shorts looks go down with Blackmon coming back and taking the #1 WR spot again.

10/3/2013 11:32:03 AM

That's right Gabbert is back

10/3/2013 11:37:21 AM

there are 3 things you should worry about with blackmon

1) cecil shorts is the best WR on the jaguars
2) gabbert/henne/whoever else decides to throw the ball
3) he'll probably end up getting suspended again

that said, tate is really only gonna have value from here on out in really deep leagues or if foster gets hurt. it looks like foster has finally played his way into shape, so i doubt tate gets more than 10 or so carries/game from here on out (unless they're up big).

so do it.

10/3/2013 11:53:27 AM

Possible trade offer combinations.

I give up Chris Johnson and Gronk for:

any of these three people - Witten, R. Mathews, S. Smith, MJD, CJ Spiller, S. Johnson

My WRs - Fitz, Wayne, Blackmon, D. Hopkins, D. Jackson
MY RBs - C. Johnson, Forte, D. Richardson
My other TE is C. Clay

Thoughts?

[Edited on October 3, 2013 at 11:56 AM. Reason : .]

10/3/2013 11:56:22 AM

If you could get Spiller for Johnson I would say do it. Johnson may be the feature back and get a greater proportion of the carries compaired to Spiller, but Buffalo's offensive is much more potent than the TEN so there is more potential there. As far as Gronk goes, the argument could be made that Witten is more valuable, but I don't think there's a huge difference, however we haven't seen Gronk play this year so we'll see if expectations based off his past production come true.

So the only possible trade combination I would consider would be for Spiller and Witten, depending on how much you value Witten.

[Edited on October 3, 2013 at 12:25 PM. Reason : .]

10/3/2013 12:21:43 PM

I get three people for Gronk and Johnson. I didn't really clarify that, sorry.

10/3/2013 12:28:40 PM

My mistake. In that case, I don't think either of the available WRs would help you all that much, but I would favor Johnson over Smith, so I would try to add some depth at RB and would probably go with Mathews given that he plays on a better offensive and has a more favorable upcoming schedule than MJD.

10/3/2013 3:08:15 PM

yeah i would prob go witten, spiller & mathews.

10/3/2013 4:07:00 PM

If McFadden doesn't play Sunday, which RB do you like the most:

R. Jennings vs. SD
or
R. Mathews @ OAK

I was originally conisdering Daryl Richardson but it sounds like there's going to be a big timeshare among the STL RBs this week with him not at 100%.

10/3/2013 4:22:52 PM

Mathews
