where yall been? i've had him a while

Well CC, who'd you end up starting? Glad I stayed away from that little dilemma, but I seriously hope you didn't take that one newbie's advice and start Cam who he claimed would have a breakout game.

[ComicChick]

haha i actually did start cam. he gave me good numbers but i knew it wasn't going to be like his first two weeks

ryans pts total actually surprised me but he's turning the ball over way too much
big ben was on my bench too

im leading by 20 or so right now with one player left, and i'm fairly sure he has none

[Genesis 1.0]

Well I'm glad it worked out for ya, although I'm surprised Cam gave you what you needed.

EDIT: Facepalm of Doom. That was in OUR league, ugh. I just checked your lineup and Ryan AND Ben gave you 20 more points than Cam.

[ComicChick]

yeah i just saw they did too

but i got extremely lucky that i had the best lineup filled in that i could (save qb ) and got good numbers from everyone

[Anti-Moderator]

I'm thinking about trying to trade Cutler for Fitzpatrick. I play in a two QB league. Thoughts?

I actually think Fitzpatrick looks a bit more promising than Cutler right now, and the Bears' offense is a mess aside from Matt Forte.

[ComicChick]

i'd get rid of cutler as soon as i could but that prolly bias from me cuz i've never liked him

[Genesis 1.0]

Right now, it looks like a smart move to trade Fitz for Cutler, I'd take it. Especially if you're in a PPR league.

[The Apocalypse]

I was offered Dez Bryant for Blount. I'm not sure what to do. My WRs are Andre Johnsom, Fitz and right now Maclin, since Britt got hurt. I also picked up Nate Washington. For my RBs I have MJD, Ryan Matthews and Daniel Thomas, along with Blount.

[The Incredible Hulk]

Do you dare start Arian Foster this week if he's active?

You seem thinner at RB (not a believer in Matthews) than you are at WR. I wouldnt deal Blount, since you'd be effectively trading your #2 RB for a guy who's a bets your #3 WR.

Thanks for the advice guys, unfortunately the guy wants MJD and Cutler for Fitzpatrick. I can't do it

I don't know it. I have Foster on two of my four fantasy teams, and for now I'm benching him. Last week, when he started, he was a non-factor anyway. I might keep him on the bench until I'm certain that he can play close to 100%.

Btw, I offered another team in my division Tony Romo for his Beanie Wells (he has McCoy and Cassel as QB), but he never consent to the trade. Bummer.

Damn, they need to drug test that guy. It's a crackhead deal.

[Raiden]

Should I bench Vick for Schaub?

[Genesis 1.0]

That depends, are you in a PPR league?


I've got a tricky one in essence:

Benson / Boldin FOR Thomas Jones / Welker

A better RB for a crappy RB & a Better WR for what's been thus far a more average WR.

Either way, a hole is going to be either filled in or completely excavated on my roster.

Well, Jamall Charles is out for the season (I think), so Thomas Jones may actually get some time on the field. And right now Welker's stock can't be higher because Brady is having a MVP season, so I'd take Jones/Welker.

[Genesis 1.0]

Hmmm, I was thinking along those same lines but Jones creeps me out. Bastard has a terrible YPC average and even though Benson is going to be suspended at least 2 games, guy's a workhorse and will always get the bulk of the carries.

lol, I love good trades but the best ones are risky & I'd hate to splinter my RB Core. Check out the Backs & see if your evaluation remains the same:

Cedric Benson, Ahmad Bradshaw, Rashard Mendenhall, Pierre Thomas, James Starks, & Peyton Hillis

Your RB corp is pretty good, and Hillis might offset the lost production of Benson if you do the trade. However, do you need a WR badly? If your WR is rather depleted, then I think you should take a risk and make that trade.

[Genesis 1.0]

Okay, WR Core:

Anquan Boldin, Roddy White, Andre Johnson, Malcolm Floyd, Jabar Gaffney

[marvelman2006]

Rivers or Fitzpatrick

[Genesis 1.0]

Miami D vs Cincy D is what it boils down to since they're both Fantasy studs thus far, and the Bengals D is a little more suspect in my estimation. Rivers has a better body of work though, so it's difficult to say it but Fitz.

Okay, your WR corp is a little shakier than your RB, but it's not all bad. I guess you'll have to make the final call to decide whether the risk is worth the reward. I'm just saying that if Brady continues his streak, then Welker would be a great investment.
