Have two possible trades in the works with someone who needs a RB week 7. What do you think of them? League is non-ppr.

I give DeAngelo Williams and Antonio Gates, receive Maurice Jones-Drew
I give DeAngelo Williams, Heath Miller and TJ Housh, receive Maurice Jones-Drew and Dwayne Bowe

I think either trade you're losing more than you gain. Are you trying to be charitable?

No, I just feel like MJD is a better long term RB. No charity here, this is a $$$ league. My team is 4-1, so I'm thinking about trades that benefit me down the stretch.

See if your trading partner would swing D-Will + Miller for MJD. I wouldn't part with Antonio Gates on a pass-first team, and I'm not sold on Miller's long term viability - though the way the Steelers are playing right now, he sure does look good.

My TE is on a bye this week (Dallas Clark).

I have Dustin Keller on my team, but he is terrible. Some other options are Sean Ryan and Mercedes Lewis. Who would you pick?

Keller may have a decent day today - though the Jets will likely give their RB's a workout and a half today against Buffalo.

Mercedes Lewis would be my call.

 

[newb111]

Two perfectly good D/ST choices, but I'd like to see what you think

GB vs Det
or
NYJ vs Buf

 

[chin311]

I say McNabb. They've shown that they're more than happy to screw weak teams in the air, humiliatingly. Rodgers is still "slightly" questionable in terms of performance due to O-Line being weak.

Brees. The Steelers will be pushing the run game against the Browns weak defense this week to give Ben a break.

 

[SunnyD]

Holy crap! I'm no longer winless in one of my leagues?!?! Currently score is 123.36 to 83.62, opponent has played all starting games, and I still have Denver DST to play tonight! What's more is my bench combined for 66.72 points (1 person on bye).

There is a distinct, though slim possibility that I might go 4-0 this week across all my leagues. It all comes down to how well/bad Denver's defense does against me in another league. How exciting!

In other news: I suck at picking bye week QB's apparently. Hasselbeck scored me 0 points this week in one league, as Gerrard screwed me over last week. Thankfully all of my QB bye weeks are over with. And what the hell is up with the Eagles this week?

 

[Ns1]

Sigh, another 0-3 week and another starting RB going out (sammy morris)

Across 3 teams, that's my 5th RB to get hurt.

 

[dougp]

I did good this week, so far it's 122-62 and he has two players in tonight's game - doubt they'll help.

QB Tom Brady 39.20
WR Mario Manningham 11.00
WR Steve Smith (NYG) 4.40
RB Fred Jackson 5.20
RB Matt Forte 4.00
TE Owen Daniels 19.80
W/R Mike Sims-Walker 12.00
K John Carney 6.00
DEF Green Bay 21.00

I don't like playing both NYG receivers, but my other RB and WR were on bye. Only bad thing is I never know who's actually going to be good that week since they both seem to flip-flop. Hell, Smith missed two easy TDs last night, so who knows. Next week will be Crabtree in one of their spots and Ronnie Brown back in Jackson's slot.

 

[joesmoke]

ugh... my teams chances of getting to 2-4 rest upon Denvers D +10.5 v Phil Rivers

 

[vi edit]

Woo. Unless Rivers goes absolutely apeshit and Brandon Marshall does nothing for me tonight I'll be 5-1 going into week 7.

Yay!

 

[JS80]

I still have Rivers and Chargers DST...how are my chances?

29 points, I doubt any of it comes from the DST. Hope Rivers blows out the Broncos...

I wouldn't say they are great. It's possible, but doubtful. You should be starting Manningham instead of Hous, he's sucked this year.

Yea...i'm hoping 10 pts DST (about avg pts in my league for DST) and 20 pts from rivers.

I guess i'll start manningham over housh permanently going fwd.

 

[Crono]

Would you make this trade?

Trading away:
Matt Forte and Mike Wallace
for
Leon Washington and Ahmad Bradshaw

I'm really stuck on this one.

Washington had one good game last week. Bradshaw is solid. Forte is lackluster, and Wallace is a 3rd/flex play on a good day. If you need RB's, it's pretty good.

GAH!!!! It turns out that DST scoring in this league includes return teams, whereas the other leagues those points go to the offensive player! I got shafted! So I went 3-1 this week any way. My previously winless team had the blowout of the week though.

[endervalentine]

Need some help with the upcoming week -

Need 2, Thomas Jones has a good matchup against Oak, I like Choice but unfortunately he's splitting carries and Westbrook still isn't 100%.
Thomas Jones @ Oak
Tashard Choice @ Atl
Brian Westbrook @ Was
Jamal Lewis @ GB

Need to pick one, Cotchery has been doing okay recently, but he's questionable the next best person is Ginn Should I just risk it with Cotchery?
Jerricho Cotchery @ Oak
Ted Ginn Jr. @ NO

 

[krunchykrome]

My biggest dillema all year is who to start at my flex-

Hightower or M Lynch?

I've been going to hightower, but isn't lynch due for a breakout game anyday now?

 

[dougp]

I hope Lynch chokes a big one and Jackson goes back to getting most of the carries. Buffalo has gone downhill since Lynch returned.
