Start Benson or Best at RB#2 today?

I'm still convinced the Lions are just going to throw to Johnson until he can be stopped so Best's value isn't there anymore. Is Benson going to play today and when's he going to start his suspension?

Not really, he's injured and Foster stampeded the Steelers last week. I expected the Texans to go with a running back committee but I doubt that will happen now with their injuries at RB. You can pick him up as a handcuff but don't have high expectations.

I went with Thomas Jones of KC vs. Colts poor run defense. He was about the only thing left.

I did pick up Tate, but the latest word is he'll be RB3 so I played Jones instead. My star running backs this week are Michael Bush and Thomas Jones, LOL.

And I'm kicking myself for dropping Colts Pierre Garcon in week 3. Ouch, that hurts.

I have an ~40 pt. lead with all my players done, and my opponent still has Jordy Nelson and Jay Cutler. Hopefully I should win?

I am so screwed at RB in Week 6. I'm 5-0, so instead of trading I may just take the loss.

My RBs are:
Chris Johnson (possibly injured / BYE)
Addai (possibly out / SUCKS)
McCluster (Jackie Battle put an end to the McCluster speculation / BYE)
LT (Ground n' Pound = Shonn Greene and Shonn Greene only)
Ridley (Belicheck may as well be named Shanahan)

So, without any waiver pickups, I'm starting LT and Ridley. I can see them scoring a combined 5 points for me. If I get lucky, maybe 10.

Available on waivers:
Ernest Graham (dropped him 2 weeks ago for McCluster... fantastic!)
Battle (On bye week 6, no help to me)
Bernard Scott (does ANYONE have ANY CLUE when Benson's suspension goes into effect????)

I don't think I'm gonna get Graham. I'm 9 of 12 in waiver priority. Had he not scored so many points this past weekend, maybe i'd have a chance. So, it comes down to Bernard Scott. Should I even bother? This is why I'm considering making no moves and just hoping the rest of my team (below) carries me, which they've been doing all year anyways. I feel like trading one of my 3 top-12 WRs to help fill in my RBs for one week is out of the question.

QB Brees
WR Bowe
WR Wallace
WR Stevie Johnson
TE Daniels

I needed just 1.4 more points from Megatron in my other league. All he had to do was get a 4 yard catch during the last 2-3 drives and I would have won.

Thank god for Best. I went to bed at halftime about 15 points back with Best and Knox playing, ended up winning by 11. Woke up to an email from a friend:

Subject: Jahvid Best
Body: wow



My receivers are shit though, with Andre Johnson and Kenny Britt hurt. Sidney Rice is my #1, Knox is my #2.

McCluster sucks. Waste of my #1 waiver wire pickup.

Can someone settle a debate? A friend offered me a trade in another league and is screaming at me that I declined it:
My Team
QB - Freeman
WR - Harvin; Jordy Nelson; Dez Bryant
RB - Lesean McCoy; Frank Gore
TE - Jermaine Gresham
W/R - Michael Bush
Bench
Early Doucet
Doug Baldwin
Antonio Gates
Colt McCoy

He's offering me: James Starks, Matt Hasselbeck and Lance Moore in exchange for Dez Bryant

I cancelled arguing that, while hasselbeck is a solid upgrade, the other two are not much better than the guys i have playing or on the bench points wise and the loss of Dez would actually more than compensate for the increase in points from Hasselbeck.

He called me an idiot. Am I an idiot? I just don't see that much upside to Starks I guess. He's splitting work with Grant so neither of them are breakouts.

Nice "friend" you got there. You are not an idiot.

Any thoughts on KC RB Battle? He looked pretty good against the colts, but then again most RBs do. I'm in a deep league with nothing for RBs so I'd use waiver money for him.

It's funny, because calling you an idiot for not accepting the trade implies that he is an idiot for offering it in the first place.

Ha ha yeah. He was implying that the offered trade bolsters my team overall and helps him as well (since he does have a better team than mine). I disagree on the" bolstering my team" portion of that statement.

He's just pissed b/c he thought he could sucker you into something that helps him more than it helps you. Have you counter-offered?

Just pulled off this trade in my PPR league.

Good / Bad / Awesome??

Traded: A.Foster, Maclin, Collie and TO (ha!)

Got: L.McCoy, Andre Johnson, Tomlinson and LaFell

I'm taking a huge chance that Andre is going to be ready next week and not miss any further games. I am pretty set at WR without him but my team is 2-3 and I can't afford to fall any further behind.

My lineup would look like this (non byes, no injuries)

QB: Flacco/Fitzpatrick
WR: Jennings
WR: A.Johnson
RB: McCoy
RB: Hillis
TE: Daniels
Flex: Marshall / LT

Should I make this trade (.5 PPR):

Give: McFadden, Gates (McMichael is my current TE1, will need a waiver pickup), David Nelson (my WR4)

Get: Arian Foster

Whaaaa? No way. McFadden is a beast. And tossing in an injured Gates who could be back in time for playoffs is just a terrible trade IMHO.

At first I was like :| b/c Johnson is a risk. Injuries like his can linger all season. Then I was like b/c it's a PPR league, and you have to take a chance because you're 2-3.

It's basically Foster for McCoy + Johnson. They're both absolute beasts in PPR leagues. Well done, sir. shocksyde seal of approval.

You could get a better WR in that transaction. What other WRs does the guy have?

As the trade stands... Hell no.

Just going to blow off a little steam here...

I'm in a 10-team league where you can start QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, K, DEF. Somehow I ended up with Rice, McCoy, Forte. Heck Forte was still on the board when my 3rd pick came up and I couldn't let him sit there. My team is relatively stacked across the board, especially now that Miles Austin is back.

But here's the problem. I gambled, and lost, on Josh Freeman. In retrospect taking a Rivers or someone with my 3rd pick wouldn't have put me in any better shape but it's still frustrating. There's a guy in the league who has crap for backs, Tom Brady at QB, and Big Ben/Cam Newton sitting on the bench. He won't even consider a trade for any of them. I ran the numbers and based on projections we would both net out at about +50 points for the season if he traded me Brady for McCoy. Ah well such is FF. Any of you run into this kind of issue with people who just refuse to trade?

Oh well, I'll hope that either Freeman gets out of his funk or see if I can get something out of Hasselback going forward. I'm still in a good position to be honest just because I'm stacked at every other position, just frustrated that people are out there playing FF who don't believe in trades yet stockpile players on their bench.

My RB situation has gone from "meh" to "SOUND THE ALARMS."

Which 2 for week 6? 12-team PPR league.

LT - MIA
Graham - NO
Ridley - DAL

CJ on BYE, Addai possibly injured and sucks anyways. I'm thinking LT and Graham (even if Blount starts). Donald Brown is available as a Free Agent. I don't think he's worth a grab.

I'm fine with the rest of my team, they've been carrying me all season anyways. But RB may make or break me this week.

Thanks for any advice, as always.
