edge hasnt missed a game due to injury in 5 years. Holt just got bulger and steven jackson back, while harrison has a set amount of plays he is in on for the next week bc of his injury

not to mention MJD is sitting on this guy's bench


[Edited on October 24, 2007 at 5:33 PM. Reason : i want this trade because it fits my bye weeks better for the rest of my team]

10/24/2007 5:32:09 PM

not to mention that

MJD's keeper value >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Edge's keeper value

if this is in fact a keeper league.

even if just for this season, i wouldn't have taken that trade either. edge is on bye this week, MJD already had his. holt has a bye next week, harrison already had his. not to mention that holt's production has been way low this year b/c the rams suck. and the tight ends are about a push. bad trade. maybe that counter-offer was intended to make a point.

10/24/2007 5:39:46 PM

it is a keeper league, and honestly im not high on mjd at all. Personally, I dont think he is going to be a good feature back. I wouldnt even keep him in our keeper league with what i have and i wouldnt keep james either

thats why i mentioned he has mjd on his bench

this is a perfect example of why most moves in fantasy football leagues happen by Add-and-Drop and not Trades

10/24/2007 5:56:32 PM

BoobsR_gr8, you proposed a trade that didn't really help me, two past-their-prime players (holt and edge) for two potential keeper candidates (MJD and Wayne).

I could have made a counter-offer then, to show you what I think about the value of MJD for now and the future, but I figured you might get insulted, since you probably value your players more than I do. (You did draft or trade for them, after all)

You follow up with an equally bad trade (IMO), so I figured if you really want MJD, I will show you what it would cost. I wasn't expecting you to accept it unless you have an unhealthy man-crush on Jones-Drew, or something. By proposing this trade, I was hoping to keep you from wasting your time proposing offers that don't help me, saving you time to bitch about my proposal on the wolf web.

Also, MJD is just on my bench for now until I hear news about his injury. Del Rio said he is questionable and might be a game-time decision

[Edited on October 24, 2007 at 5:59 PM. Reason : why he's on my bench]

10/24/2007 5:58:30 PM

i only bitched about it here bc this is the only form of communication we have other than going back and forth on the gay yahoo league messageboard

10/24/2007 6:05:40 PM

alright well, don't be insulted...if I thought you were dumb I would have offered shayne graham for parker and chad

10/24/2007 6:07:15 PM

haha its cool.

10/24/2007 6:08:35 PM

btw people it's time to add Chris Henry the WR if you have roster space

10/24/2007 6:14:24 PM

what do you think about this trade:

i give Edgerrin James and Steven Jackson

I get Lendale White, Cedric Benson, and Terrell Owens

yea or nay?

10/24/2007 7:30:50 PM

i dont like it

10/24/2007 7:36:26 PM

i'd be all over that. jackson isn't gonna do shit, and owens by himself is better than edge

"jackson isn't gonna do shit"

disagree

10/24/2007 7:50:53 PM

Looks like Rudi Johnson and Andre Johnson are not going to play again.

Is Jamal Lewis going to play or should I pick up Jason Wright? They are playing the Rams so I want that.

I currently have the Chargers D against Houston but the Bears vs Detroit and the Eagles @ Minnesota are available. Thoughts?

[Edited on October 25, 2007 at 1:06 PM. Reason : I need help my whole team is on bye or hurt this week]

10/25/2007 12:59:53 PM

Who to start as a flex?

Kenny Watson vs. the Pittsburgh D
or
Stallworth vs the Redskin D

Thanks...

10/25/2007 3:44:35 PM

who to start between Addai, Adrian Peterson (min), Brandon Jacobs?? Peterson is almost a lock, but with Addai splitting carries and Jacobs (vs Miami w/o Zack Thomas) getting hurt every game its a toss-up.

10/25/2007 3:52:16 PM

Andre Johnson probably isn't gonna play until after their bye week but the good news is he did practice for about 20 minutes today...its a start...

^sounds like one of those good problems...all 3 RBs have good matchups...Addai will get his carries...AP is a beast...and Jacobs is solid and going against a horrible Miami run defense

[Edited on October 25, 2007 at 3:56 PM. Reason : .]

10/25/2007 3:55:37 PM

pick two:

Thomas Jones vs. Buf
Lamont Jordan @ Ten
Travis Henry vs. GB

10/25/2007 4:41:46 PM

^Jones and Henry

^^^Addai is splitting with Keith. AP all the way.

^^^^Stallworth. I have Watson but Steelers have gave up 1 rushing TD on the year.

10/25/2007 4:55:07 PM

SHould I trade Andre Johnson for Larry Fitzgerald?

10/25/2007 5:06:53 PM

pick 2:

adrian peterson
ladanian tomlinson
brandon jacobs
travis henry

bold are my current selections because it's LT, and jacobs is going against miami and peterson STILL isn't the starter despite being one of the best backs in the league.

10/25/2007 5:09:45 PM

might as well just say pick 1 and list AP, Jacobs and Henry

10/25/2007 5:18:34 PM

i need a running back BAD. any quick suggestions on any darkhorse running back selections for this week??

and yes the dolphin's backup is already off the board

10/25/2007 5:18:44 PM

^list a few of the backs that are available

10/25/2007 5:19:30 PM

Jason Wright could be a good one if Jamal Lewis doesn't play or is banged up. I have Lewis and have been watching. They play the Rams so one of them could have a big week.

10/25/2007 5:20:09 PM

yeah St. Louis' run defense is atrocious...Lewis was limited in practice yesterday but he did practice...definitely something to keep an eye on up until gametime

10/25/2007 5:26:53 PM

haha yeah i actually have jason wright. ill watch that situation very closely

the other backs i have laurence maroney AND kevin faulk. but can't decide which one to start

i have marion barber but he's got a bye this week and it's killin me

10/25/2007 5:35:25 PM

Quote :

"the other backs i have laurence maroney AND kevin faulk. but can't decide which one to start"

Maroney...with Sammy Morris still out and Maroney back I'd go with him...plus Washington's pass defense is pretty good...Brady won't throw 6 TDs on them...but more imporantly, if healthy, Maroney will get more touches than Faulk

10/25/2007 5:53:03 PM

^^ Are Chatman, Keith, Watson, Chris Henry (Ten) available?

All four should atleast get some carries this week.

[Edited on October 25, 2007 at 5:53 PM. Reason : ^]

10/25/2007 5:53:07 PM

Never thought about benching Palmer outside of his bye week but my backup is Eli and he's going against the beat up and horrible Miami D. do I sit Palmer this week?

10/25/2007 6:28:52 PM

i say absolutely.

eli vs miami or palmer vs pittsburgh?

i know it'll feel funny but i can't imagine palmer putting up better numbers this week.

10/25/2007 6:40:50 PM

^Yes, start Eli over Carson.

QB Question:
*Garcia (vs. Jax) or T. Edwards (vs. NYJ)?
-My Thoughts: Garcia has been more consistently productive, but Edwards has a great match-up.

RB Situation:
*Portis (vs. NE) or S. Jackson (vs. Cle)?
-My Thoughts: Portis is 100%, not getting great yards but he is getting TD's. SJ is coming off an injury and might not be 100%, and even though they are playing Cleveland, that OL is terrible.

WR Situation:
*Stallworth(vs. Was) or C. Johnson (vs. Chi)
-My Thoughts: I really like CJ's match-up here, but Stallworth is almost a sure-bet to get ~50 and a TD every week.

Thoughts?

- * = current starter

10/25/2007 6:46:10 PM

i agree with everything except the RB spot...I am pretty optimistic about Steven Jackson's chances to get 100 yards and a score this week

10/25/2007 6:57:46 PM

adrian peterson or
brandon jacobs or
travis henry

10/25/2007 7:42:12 PM

I'd definitely say its between AP and Jacobs but I dunno which one yet

10/25/2007 7:43:14 PM

i made it that far too...i'm leaning jacobs this week.

10/25/2007 7:56:57 PM

How about this for a RB situation. I have Rudi and Alexander so they are out. Start 3:

Cedric Benson vs DET
Jamal Lewis @ STL
Kenny Watson vs PIT
Jesse Chatman vs NYG

Or should I pick up Chris Henry, Michael Turner, Jason Wright???

10/25/2007 8:37:59 PM

jacobs all the way


AP could get 30 points or 5. Jacobs will be an automatic 12, at least.

[Edited on October 25, 2007 at 8:41 PM. Reason : 456]

10/25/2007 8:40:40 PM

^^looks like Jamal will ball out on St. Louis this weekend...I'm playing him in both my leagues

10/26/2007 10:12:07 AM

Reggie Brown or Kenton Keith?

10/26/2007 10:23:54 AM

I gotta tough decision

In one league I have my defense, kicker and TE all on byes

(shitty planning, I know)

I wanna keep Seattle and Folk, but I dumped Crumpler since he sucks without Vick

So I need to drop someone to keep those 2 and add another defense and kicker

I'm stacked at WR and have Moss and Colston starting with Calvin Johnson, Berrian, and Bowe on the bench.

I have 2 QB's, Kitna and McNabb but would like to keep both since neither is very consistent.

Which of the WR's would you drop?

I'm leaning toward Johnson, but his potential scares me, and Berrian gets 6-80 yards almost every week.

10/26/2007 10:25:33 AM

here's the first thing you can do

drop your fucking kicker on his bye week...its a fucking kicker

also i'd be more inclined to drop berrian than calvin, although griese's play the last couple weeks makes me more hesitant to do that...i just think the bears offense is garbage without thomas jones...i mean they're what, 2-4?

[Edited on October 26, 2007 at 10:28 AM. Reason : .]

10/26/2007 10:26:43 AM

Folk gets way more chances than any of the other bums out on the wire...I'm keeping his ass

and Bernard gets the boot...Him or Calvin will probably never play anyway ahead of Moss and Colston or Moss and Bowe

10/26/2007 11:03:25 AM

Statistically speaking, there is almost no correlation between the predictions for a kicker's stats, and what their stats actually are. Drop Folk, I just did this week. Also, if you feel safe dropping Calvin Johnson over a kicker, your league is stupid.

Also: Kenton Keith or Reggie Brown?

10/26/2007 11:10:33 AM

^I'd play Keith unless its a PPR league

I'd rather get another player to play though lol

10/26/2007 11:11:49 AM

We do get PPR. It's just Brown has been such shit this year.

Im hoping Jamal will be out again this week and I can just play Wright instead, but that doesn't look likely.

10/26/2007 11:16:30 AM

I hate monday night games when i have players in them....I've got Travis and Young, but its looking like who will play is a gametime decision b/c of Travis' injury.

Also, I can't decide if I should start graham VS. a good Jax D, or try to pick up Morency from waivers and start him VS the Den D.

10/26/2007 11:24:20 AM

graham got a total of 37 looks last week out of tampa's total of 77 plays...90+ rushing yards and 90+ receiving yards...i like graham

10/26/2007 11:31:09 AM

Maurice Jones-Drew vs. TB
or
Earnest Graham vs. JAX
or
Kevin Jones vs. CHI

?

10/26/2007 12:07:21 PM

Earnest Graham

Jax's QB issues are going to cripple their offense, and Graham will have numerous chances to either run it in or by receiving.

If I had a bye week issue with my starters, Graham would certainly be the starter, especially of those three that you mentioned.
