My gut is telling me Warner. He plays good at home and Dallas has had some pretty piss poor secondary coverage giving up big plays.

You guys think Marvin Harrison will finally break out? It's either him...or Lance Moore....

I also got Eddie Royal off the wire, but if he plays, he is gonna play hurt.

 

[Garet Jax]

Someone just dropped Ahman Green and I want to get him to protect my investment in Steve Slaton.

My team is:

QB Jay Cutler
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR Marques Colston
WR Steve Breaston
RB Steve Slaton
RB Correll Buckhalter
TE Zach Miller
BN Earnest Graham
BN Calvin Johnson
BN Jamal Lewis
BN Warrick Dunn
BN Tim Hightower
BN Kevin Curtis

I don't know who to drop. I have Dunn to protect my Earnest Graham investment and I love Hightower. Colston and Curtis are just coming back from injury and will be in the swing of things in the next week or two.

Right now I'm leaning towards Breaston or Buckhalter, but I want to see how long Westbrook is out before dropping Buckhalter.

That leaves Breaston as the odd man out. I wanted to play him this week because Colston and Curtis may or may not play much. Also, Johnson is on a bad team playing a second or third string QB today. Do I wait until Tuesday to drop Breaston and pick up Ahman Green then, or do I drop Breaston now and play Johnson/Curtis hoping he sees a lot of time and gets some looks.

My oppoent needs a WR this week and we have no waiver period in our league. If I drop Breaston, he may very well pick him up and play him against me. Is it worth that risk?

Thanks.

Damn, you got Royal off the wire? Please pm me next year if you need another player.

The Colts go up against the #1 rated D against the pass this week, so starting Harrison is a risk, but I would go with him over Moore.

If I were you, I'd check and make sure Royal is playing. If he is, that's who I'd go with.

I think you would be nuts to get Green now. Why worry over something that might not happen? At the very least, I'd wait until Buckhalter became useless again.

Good question. A few reasons:

1) My league is very active on the wire because we have no waiver period. If I don't "foresee" an issue so to speak, chances are I will miss the opportunity if and when it happens.

2) There is no doubt that Slaton is the starter now, but he only recently wrestled the job from Green and he is a rookie. I would imagine he is on a short leash. One or two bad games or an injury, Green would replace him.

3) There is no doubt that if Slaton were to lose the starting role in Houston (through injury or bad appearences) that Green would be the replacement starter.

4) I just gave up a lot of fantasy points (in players) to get Colston and primarily Slaton. If he were to lose his starting role and I were not to have Green, my team would be significantly worse than before the trade. I am trying to protect my investment.

In the first quarter of his first game, I went to get him off the wire and someone had beaten me to it. He has been on that team ever since :-(

Well it's your call, but I still think you are jumping the gun. Getting Green now only helps you if Slaton gets hurt. Don't wish ill on your own players.

Getting Green doesn't help anything. Green is an injury-prone has-been. Even if he's a full-timer, he won't be valuable. Trust me.

Also, COLSTON IS OUT FOR TODAY.

If anyone was starting him, bench him. He's not playing.

Edit: Also, I just looked at your roster. You have Ernest Graham and Jamal Lewis, and Dunn and Hightower. Green is not better than any of those players. You'll never be starting Green, so unless you want him as an offensive move to prevent other teams from getting and starting him on the off chance Slaton goes down, it would be ridiculous to waste a spot on the old guy.

I had to step out for a few hours and needed to set my lineup early. This wasn't available then so I have Colston starting and Calvin Johnson sitting. :-(

 

[Ns1]

Thank you to all who said pick Breaston <3

 

[DnetMHZ]

Should I trade Thomas Jones for Jerricho Cotchery?

I was offered Isaac Bruce for Jones.. thinking of countering and asking for Cotchery instead..

thoughts?

So is anyone else drinking the Kyle Orton Koolaid? I am thinking of picking him up and dropping Kitna, prob will start him over Palmer too

I've had Orton on my bench since the beginning of the season in two of my three leagues. I'm actually starting him over Peyton in one league this week.

Well, that was a mistake.

Hahaha...Man...I feel bad for giving that advice to that person who asked whether Peyton would throw for over 300 yards and 2 TDs. I told him no....Peyton proved me wrong In my defense, he did not throw over 300 yards

Oh well...that is the nature of the game.

I actually started HArrison by mistake....I replaced him with Lance Moore, but I forgot to hit the submit button....

 

[Gibson486]

Romo is gone for a few weeks.....

 

[Garet Jax]

I have a 5 point lead against Burress tonight. Here's to hoping that NY runs all kicks and punt back for a TD so that Burress never even comes onto the field.

Just did a trade proposal in one of my leagues: Philip Rivers for Marshawn Lynch. I already have cutler on my team and have been going thru a downturn with my RB's.

You guys think he will accept? He has Matt Shaub as his only QB

Not a chance if he's smart.

Most leagues only play 1 QB. Philip Rivers is barely in the top 10 (especially with LT injured Chris Chambers out and Vincent Jackson possibly out too).

Compare that with RB where most leagues play two. Not only is Marshawn Lynch in the top 10 (especially with all the top guys not performing well), but he plays for a team whose starting QB is out indefinitely and may need to run for a stabilizing factor.

To get a mediocre RB (Steve Slaton), I needed to give up a very good fantasy QB (Warner) and a top notch WR (Randy Moss).

Barely in the top 10? I dont know what you are talking about, but for this season so far Rivers has accumulated DOUBLE the points Marshawn lynch has. Seems like a decent deal to me.

The guy has Matt Shaub as his ONLY QB.

The only reason I am trading Rivers is B/C I have Jay Cutler as well.

I dont get how this could be a bad deal for someone who has a horrible QB and no FA QB's to speak of in our league (14 man league).

EDIT: Also, I wouldn't consider Randy Moss a "top notch" receiver anymore. His performance this year has been abysmal. Looks like New England isn't going to do much of anything this year.

I'm behind by about 25 points and Burress is my only hope tonight. He needs a HUGE game.

I'm up by 79.12 and have Burress. He has Jamal Lewis.

I still hope Plax puts up huge numbers LOL.

 

[DnetMHZ]

I'm up by 32 and still have Brandon Jacobs.. Opponent just has the Cleveland QB.

 

[Garet Jax]

Hey guys. The guy who owns AP is getting a little desperate for RBs. I happen to some extra ones. Who should I offer up:

Steve Slaton
Earnest Graham
Warrick Dunn
Jamal Lewis
Correll Buckhalter

He indicated he wants 2 for 1. Is it worth offering Slaton + Lewis or Graham?

I'm pretty sure he wants two full fledged starters.

Thoughts?

 

[TallBill]

Woot, thank you sproles for scoring NADA yesterday!

Now I gotta see if Jacobs and Burress scored 23 points combined. I know its close with a td each.

 

[BALIstik916]

Who else started Braylon Edwards!!! *highfive

See....the one time we needed Eli to come through....it turns midnight and he truns into his true self. To his credit, it looked like he wanted Burress to have a big game...he just overthrew the majority of his passes to him.

I do not know what happened...but wow. He made Matt Cassel look good.
