I had a guy propose that I give him Marshawn Lynch and get Fred Jackson and Ray Rice in return.

But...but...that's two for one!!! You'd be crazy not to! haha I hate people that lowball like that. Guy hit me up for Graham and Megatron in trade for AP. That's a LITTLE more realistic than the offer you just got, but still, told him to pound sand.

Anyone catch what they said about Dez Bryant (injury status/update) on NFL Insiders just now? I had to actually put work before that segment for a minute. I really wanted to hear what they said though.

Last I heard is it's still a back problem but he really wants to play. Proceed with caution because even if he does play he could tweak it and be out.

I'm pretty screwed if he doesn't play all game, since my only other option is Percy Harvin. I'm starting Megatron too, but I benched Garcon last night

I'm 7-2, but I REALLY need to win this game. My opponent this week beat me week 2, so a win against her now takes me from 2nd to 1st.

I've held onto Harvin for a few weeks now, so I'd hate to have to drop him to grab a FA WR to play instead of Dez, but I do not want to lose this week of all weeks.

Julius Thomas will be a game time decision. Anyone waiting needs to pick up a backup TE if you don't have one. Also keep in mind that its a later game, may need to pick up Tim Wright or Charles Clay.

Pick three: Keenan Allen vs Broncos, TY Hilton vs. Rams, Antonio Brown vs Bills, Larry Fitzgerald vs Texans.

I think Allen and HIlton are probably must starts. I am having a tough time deciding between Brown and Fitz. Love the match-up for Brown, but Fitz seems to be 100% healthy for the first time this year and he is by far their best option. All four of them are at home too! :hmm:

i just got offered lynch for matt ryan. accept or not to accept?

Wait, someone offered to GIVE you Lynch and all you have to give up is Ryan? Take that instantly. Ryan is mediocre this year with all his receivers hurt.

I agree... that's a very tough one! The Bills' secondary is so bad though, I think I would go with him. Texans defense actually looked good in the first half last week, could give Palmer some problems.

More news - Arian Foster might need back surgery, which would end his season. It's not known for sure yet. All we know right now is that he's been ruled out for week 10, but I'm really worried with the number of lingering injuries he's had.

If someone dropped Tate in your league, pick him up, he's going to start again.

And if you really want to speculate, pick up Dennis Johnson. Ben Tate is playing through four broken ribs right now and may not last another game. If he goes down as well, Dennis Johnson immediately becomes the hottest waiver pickup. Don't do anything drastic, but if you have a backup QB or TE or a 5th WR you don't need, Dennis Johnson is a guy to look at.

Yeah, I had Brown sitting in there, but Fitz was crying out from the bench!

I think you're right though.

With Arian Foster out/possibly hitting IR and Ben Tate's cracked ribs, seriously thinking about picking Dennis Johnson up as a stash. Here are his college highlights:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_m3wX02KmQ

5-7 193, not blazing speed but around 4.5. After AZ this week, Houston has a soft Run D schedule of OAK (graded 19th), JAX (30th), and NE (18th) to round out the regular season. Definitely a Woodhead/Sproles type of player who can burst quickly through space and catch the ball.

Thanks, I picked up Dennis Johnson in a couple leagues (dropped Boykin in one and Locker in another). I am considering dropping Percy Harvin in another league to pick him up, I'm pretty good a WR in that league (VJax, Gordon, Allen, Garcon) and could really use a solid RB going forward.

The Bills' secondary isn't horrible, in fact they grade out at #10 so highly underrated. They stopped Jamaal Charles and McCluster when it counted (ok McCluster did drop the big pass), only Bowe had his way. Also going un-noticed is that they can shut down the run and I consider them a top 10 Run D squad. I think many people are going to be shocked at how many points their DST puts up against Pitt this week. While Antonio Brown has a slightly favorable matchup, it doesn't mean anything when Buffalo's above average pass rush gets to Ben who notoriously holds the ball too long on busted plays.

Keenan Allen and TY Hilton are high grade WR2's (roto even calls them WR1's) in their matchups this week, you'd be nuts not to start either.

Edit: "You" meaning KeithTalent!

From Houston OC Dennison after their game:
“I thought he did a really, really good job,” offensive coordinator Rick Dennison said. “Obviously we have great experience with him through OTAs and in the summer. He’s got a good burst and he looks fresh. We’ll just keep rotating him in. He gave us some good things. He’s a tough little kid. He’ll go up there and block you in pass pro and do everything that we need him to do. I really thought he did a good job, it’s just making sure he’s up to speed on everything.”

Judging from his highlights, it looks like he enjoys contact and hitting people which means he could be brought in for Pass Blocking in passing down situations. Ben Tate grades out negatively in PBing at -1.4. It seems to be a good fit for Johnson if Arian Foster is gone.

I'll go ahead and drop Harvin for him. Besides even when Harvin comes back I will have to drop one of my wide receivers to even use him due to 4 WR Roster Max

Yeah I dropped Lance Moore from Flex this week for him. My team in that league is pretty desperate for a passing down RB and maybe Dennis Johnson is the answer, I missed out on Woodhead on Waivers. One other thing to note is that Houston is a pretty good Run Blocking team, they are tenth (were higher earlier in the year) right behind MN and Denver. With the threat of Keenum's "Romo-like" scrambling ability and the threat of his deep ball to keep defenses honest in the box, we could have a winner here. Just don't expect anything against Arizona this week!

Actually I just picked up Ben Tate. I moved Shane Vereen to my IR slot. Depending on how Tate looks this weekend I will make a decision to drop Tate for Johnson next week.

Man if Dennis Johnson & Darren Sproles can go off this weekend I'll need to start moving some running backs in my 10 team ppr. I'm knee deep in them (Lynch, Lacy, Stacy, Sproles, Johnson) and we can only start two.

A sneaky WR that people might want to play in deeper leagues this week is Chris Givens. Out of all the receivers Clemens has targeted him the most and he is the best receiver on the team. Plus Indy is ranked 23rd against opposing wideouts. Don't expect fireworks but I would not be surprised if he had something like 4 catches for 50 yards and a TD.

Ehhh Vontae Davis, i.e. top 5 cover corner. Unless you think he'll be shadowing someone else on StL.
