What do you all think of this trade? I need a RB given that Steve Slaton's situation is week-to-week:

I trade: Brett Favre and Steve Breaston
I get: Jonathan Stewart and Nate Burleson

I already have Aaron Rodgers so Favre just sits on my bench anyway. I can't find anyone else who wants Favre and this guy is looking to score a QB after Cutler's 5-INT nightmare

It's not a terrible trade. Favre right now is playing like a top tier QB though, and to be honest he's worth more than a Johnathan Stewart at this point.

should i trade my pitts d and brett favre(backup qb, i have rodgers)

for

greg jennings and dal d?

Jennings is a waste of a WR this year. The Dallas Defense isn't all that either.

 

[NoCreativity]

id go breaston, even though hes had his off weeks.

I like Collie or Breaston here. Brees spreads the ball out too much for any of the low-end NO receivers to be worthwhile.

Thanks for the advice gentlemen. I went with Breaston and he got me 13 points. Ended up winning by 22. Would have been more if Benson didn't get hurt.

Could use some input on a trade.

Trading away:

Donovan McNabb
Robert Meachem

to get:

Darren Sproles
Mike Bell

I have Kurt Warner, so giving up McNabb isn't a huge loss to me, but my RB options right now aren't fantastic so I'm looking for some players with upside to trade for. This is a PPR league.

I suppose you could do worse. McDrabb is always a risk, but with their pass-happy offense especially with Westbrook out. But like you said, you need RB's. Bell isn't the greatest collateral for McDragg, but I doubt anyone is going to be giving up any decent RBs after all the RB injuries this past week.

I've been pretty damn happy with McNabb; at least the Phi offense is somewhat consistent

Sidney Rice and Pierre Thomas. Was there really any question?

rice has been going off, but i like breastons matchup. and steve slaton.. well... ok, i guess there wasnt much of a question. i guess his suckage hasnt completely sunk in yet. thanks SD

 

[krunchykrome]

Woohoo

I picked up Snelling, and Forsett off of the waivers

 

[joesmoke]

Thank you. Forsett was gone but Snelling was still there in my league. Dont need him, but ill be damned if someone else gets him!

 

[NoCreativity]

Thanks to the advice of joesmoke and Pollock, I need some more help

Breaston @ STL
or
Steve Smith (NYG) v ATL

I like the Breaston matchup but I'm not sure I can count on him to extend his streak.

 

[Crono]

Anyone think Kenny Britt is a viable WR3 option in a PPR league for the next couple of weeks?

I dropped Bernard Berrian to pick him up. Matchups look favorable and Justin Gage (most awesome name ever) has a broken back.

 

[BRObedoza]

I give:
Jennings & Jamaal Charles

I get:
Favre & Pierre Thomas

currently starting Carson Palmer at QB & Deangelo/Ronnie Brown(injured)/Beanie at RB

i'd be left with Ochocinco, Sims-Walker, Chambers at WR

Hmm... I'm gonna go with Breaston on this one. Smith should be a viable option, but the Giants coming off their bye after a dismal run, too much risk happening this week to start him unless you don't have better options.

When it comes to the Titans, I'd rather have Nate Washington. Vince Young loves Washington, and that's his primary target on just about all throws that don't go to Chris Johnson. Britt is an okay choice I guess, but I'd rather have Chris Chambers now that Dwayne Bowe is suspended for the next four games.

DO EEEEEEEEEEET!!!!

With Jennings sucking it up, and the Chiefs being rather unreliable, Pierre Thomas is a great stand-in for Ronnie Brown for the next couple weeks. The only potential problem I'd have is the fact that Charles has a lot of upside still, but doesn't have as easy matchups coming up as last week. Pierre Thomas is just far too much more reliable a play than Charles at this point.

I'd rather have Nate, as well, but he's already taken
Same with Chris Chambers, was looking to take him half an hour ago.

Luckily my opponent next week is a Dwayne Bowe owner :awe:

Thanks for the advice; you're our resident expert

 

[GlacierFreeze]

Aaron Rogers vs. SF
or
Carson Palmer vs Oakland

Palmer looks to be projected higher for this week, but Rogers has been consistently higher which is what is keeping me from making a decision. Thanks.

How about Lee Evans or Laveranues Coles? By the way, I'm hardly an expert. I'm 2-8 in ATOT#6, just about having given up on that league.

Britt should be an okay choice for PPR, but not nearly as nice as he was when Kerry Collins was QB. I'd rather have Roy Williams though, not that he's likely to be available.

Palmer has sweet, SWEET matchups for the next three weeks. The Bengals are on a roll. Cedric got hurt, so even if he does play they may not run him as hard. These next three weeks I think may let Palmer air it out. Rodgers is good for about 20-25 points a game in general, but one good week for the offensive line doesn't mean anything... yet.

 

[minendo]

After last weekend I was able to successfully clinch a playoff spot (only one to clinch so far). Hopefully, my team can continue to roll over the others in my league.

Evans and Coles are taken. Same for Williams.

Ouch, 2-8. I think you are in the most competitive ATOT league, lol.
I'm 5-5 and 6-4 in the two ATOT leagues I'm in.
9-1 and 5-5 in non-AT leagues. It's this PPR league that's killing me, only one I'm having trouble securing a playoff spot. Just can't seem to get above 8th out of 12.

Crabtree?

I'm in two other ATOT leagues, one of them I'm leading the division, the other making a hell of a comeback and leading in points. The other league I'm in outside of AT I think I'm 4-6 now.

Some guy drafted Crabtree and held on to him the entire time

 

[illusion88]

I have Cedric Benson on my team and it looks like he isn't going to play in week 11. On my bench I have

Jason Snelling @NYG
Beanie Wells @Stl
Michael Bush vs Cin

Right now I am leaning towards Wells. He had an incrediable game last week and has contined to show he can be better than Hightower. He will still play as backup or at best sharing RB roll with Hightower.

Snealling will start but is going against a tough Defense. I bet he will get more touches then Wells, but less yards. He might score more TDs though, thus a better Fanrasy play.

I can't see any reason to play bush over t
he other two.
What do you guys think?

 

[jinduy]

miles austin vs skins
roy williams vs skins
donnie avery vs cardinals (30th ranked pass defense)
tj housh

help me pick 3.

I'm leaning towards austin, williams, and TJ for the "safe" pick, but i'm debating starting avery over one of the cowboys because the cardinal d is a bit shaky.
