Wow, Mike Sims-Walker broke some itinerary rule of the team's. What a crappy reason to not play a game, especially when they lost so terribly without him.


whomever decided that needs to be fired and beaten, that screwed me, along with the jags general crappy play.

Or maybe he should just abide by the rules? Hard to pass judgement without knowing what rule he broke, but we have to assume it was no small feat.

Thomas and ... um... Denver? I think you may potentially get more points with Denver playing SD (more picks), but both matchups are going to be fairly high scoring affairs.

Edit: And Feely. Hell, if the Jets done score at least 5 times between FG's and touchdowns against the Bills, then they don't deserve to be 3-2.

Terrible week (1-2). Had D Jackson in two leagues. Thanks for nothing D.

And why the hell did I have to pick Witten? What a worthless pick. Glad I stayed away from Romo though.

However Homo's next game will be a bust. You watch - every other game this season for him has been a crap game.

Damn jets D cost me my 5-0 record =(

How's this for epic (epically stupid):

I just offered up Tony Gonzalez and Steven Jackson for Ronnie Brown and the Bengals Defense.

Epic stupid, or epic genius, you decide! (Btw: I'm 1-4 in this league, so really, what do I have to lose? My name isn't Dick Juaron! I'm willing to take risks!!!)

 

[BALIstik916]

I have been really struggling with this decision and any input would be great.

I have been offered the following:
I send: Wes Welker
I receive: Antonio Bryant, Jonathan Stewart, Broncos Defense

What do you guys think, should I pull the trigger on this?

Do you "need" a defense or backup running back? You'd be losing a top PPR and potential scoring/red zone receiver for a decent defense (arguably the position with the least points potential overall), a backup running back worth no more than a matchup-based FLEX spot, and a WR that has earned less fantasy points ALL SEASON than the one you're considering trading earned in the LAST WEEK.

Welker is finally healthy, and pretty much proved it last week. He's Brady's go-to guy for both short yardage and red zone plays, and he's amazing YAC with as evident last week the ability to score.

Of course take my comments with a grain of salt, because, after all, I am trading Tony Gonzalez and Steven Jackson for Ronnie Brown and Cincy D. <-- Convinced I don't have a clue as to what I'm doing.

Not sure why Hero likes this trade other than to maybe preserve his record since Clark is on a by this week. I think it's good for you since none of your RBs have been preforming too good and there are some decent TE FAs available.

That's pretty much my thoughts on it. Next week, Baltimore is on a bye week, so I get a top notch D sitting in reserve (better than pretty much any of the junk on FA in terms of D) to play in in Baltimore's place. In fact, I like Cincy's schedule a bit more than Baltimore's from here on, and Cincy is playing with some passion this year.

There was one other major reason I offered this trade too, I would have issues at RB with my week bye weeks down the line, with very little on waivers available. This move will preserve the big Week 9 bye week at RB and let me start two good backs, barring any unforeseen injury issues later.

No kidding. There is no one avaialble on waivers at RB. I'm pretty thin and haven't found any better options than what I have. I should take the time to look into trading one or more of my WRs (5 of the top 15) but I am too lazy to look at other teams to see who needs to upgrade at WR.

I'm in the position that I don't know what to do at WR right now. I have Cotchery on the bench, since he's injured. It makes me wonder since Braylon is now with the Jets what that does to Cotchery's value, especially after Braylon's "debut" performance. Do I hold onto Cotchery or do I got for one of the hot rookies right now?

I will say this - I'm getting rid of Mason. Period. Sure, WR's have some good games and some bad games, but I can't figure out what Baltimore is doing in terms of their passing game. I don't think they can figure it out too.

Then, what about Fred Jackson? Has he truly lost the starting job? Is he worth holding onto? Hell, do you want to trade him for a WR?

This week sucks.

PPR League.. Drew Brees vs. the Giants or Matt Ryan vs. the Bears?

I'm leaning toward Ryan because of the matchup

I don't think you can go wrong either way. Brees should have a fairly active day, as the Giants actually have a pretty good run defense. Ryan will likely end up having to join in a shooting match with Cutler.

If I were to be forced to pick, I'd lean towards Brees for a bigger game just based on the defensive matchup. Unless the Giants running game works and they hold time of possession, either game can/will end up in a shootout.

Long and the short of it - flip a coin. You probably can't go wrong either way.

 

[VoteQuimby]

16 team league. I'm #1 on the wire. I'm trying to decide if I should drop Josh Morgan or Andre Caldwell to grab Donnie Avery? I have Jennings and Boldin as my starting WRs and both are past their bye weeks. I'm really just interested in keeping my options open for my flex spot, which includes Morgan, Caldwell, and McCoy.

Avery, while getting better... well, it's the Rams. That's all that really needs to be said. It's what, week 6 and the Rams have scored I think 2 TD's total? I'm sure there's better pickups to be had.

im not in a PPR league i could really use a defense (i have san diego's defense rite now) but the thing i need bad is a 2nd rb

Regardless of PPR, Welker is the better WR. I wouldn't take that trade specifically for Stewart as a viable RB2. I'd consider packaging Welker for an actual timeshare back like Marshawn Lynch (first name that popped into my head) or an lower end starter like Slaton.

Without seeing the rest of your roster though, it's hard to make a suggestion like this (particularly the rest of your WRs). What about 2nd tier RBs on the waiver list? Sammy Morris maybe? Jamal Lewis has been popping on and off waivers in a lot of leagues lately. Either of them are worth dumping a bench warmer for than losing Welker for Stewart imho. As far as defenses go, just play the waiver matchup game. Find whoever is playing the weakest team available on waivers that week, and pull the trigger. Basically, any team that draws KC, TB, the Rams, Buffalo or Cleveland should score you points that week.

 

[Ns1]

Sims Walker, Roddy white, and Greg Jennings. Pick one

White. Though your WR core is pretty damn nice. Jennings has been iffy, wonder if the injury to his wrist is something more than Rodgers not getting enough time to throw.

Amazingly, I actually like this trade. Williams will be healthy next week, and because of the magnitude of his contract will pretty much be guaranteed to be the #1 receiver whether Austin takes over the #2 spot or not. And you get a top RB for... well, pretty much nothing. If you're hurting at RB, I'd say it's a pretty good deal.
