Team as it sits now (2RB, 3WR, no flex, PPR):

QB Brees
RB Chris Johnson
RB Ernest Graham
WR Mike Wallace
WR Dwayne Bowe
WR James Jones
TE Owen Daniels

BE RB Addai
BE RB Tomlinson
BE WR Stevie Johnson
BE WR Demaryius Thomas
BE D/ST SF
BE TE Dickson
BE QB Cassel

Should I grab...
Donald Brown, Tashard Choice, Dexter McCluster or C.J, Spiller? If so, who should I drop?

Spiller interests me because this is a PPR league. Apparently he's going to be used as a WR in some offensive sets. He scored 8 points last week, as opposed to 3 in non-PPR leagues.

If I grab one of the above, who to drop...
Just grabbed Thomas. Figure he's a possible sleeper with Lloyd leaving. I'm not married to him though, I realize I need a RB more than a WR. There are TEs on, or right below, Dickson's level available still, so maybe I could drop him and worry about Daniels' week 11 bye later on in the year. Bail on Addai? Even though he's injured, he'll be the only feature back on my team besides Chris Johnson (once Blount comes back).

Thanks for any help, as always!

Last 2 weeks Yahoo/ESPN projections overestimated by 15-20 points and I've lost because of it. DAMNIT!

fixed

I'm playing the number 1 guy this week (highest scorer too). Do you think I have a chance?
(my rookie year, hehe)

my team: romo, jennings, bowe, AP, J. Graham, D. Baldwin

his team: M. Stafford, Megatron, M. Austin, M. Forte, O. Daniels, CJ2k

I'd say 60/40 in his favor. You never know which players are gonna blow up and which ones are gonna lay an egg, though. Good luck!

thanks, yeah I guess u never know. That's what makes this fantasy stuff so exciting. I am hooked!

I just wish I knew what I know now at my draft. I was fairly clueless

What do you guys think of this trade?

Team A gets: Dez Bryant, Brandon Lloyd, and Jermichael Finley

Team B gets: Darrius Heyward-Bey, Reggie Wayne, Denarius Moore, and Jackie Battle

Team A needs help at WR, B has no good RBs and needs any potential "starter" they can get. As far as points go, the first 3 players listed on either side are close to equal to the other 3. Jackie Battle is a throw in who has potential to produce.

I like A a lot better

Based on what has happened so far this year I guess it's pretty even.

Based on how many points I think each player will score the rest of the way, Team B is getting raped.

Should I grab Murray or Choice from Dallas? With Benson on Bye as well as Green-Ellis, my starting backs for this week are Turner and Ingram. Not too sure about Ingram which is why I think I should grab a Dallas RB.

 

[chitwood]

anyone struggling at QB about to go grab Carson Palmer?

As a Dallas fan, Murray. Choice was supposedly on the trading block, but was kept because of the injury.

Yea that's what I was thinking. I know Ingram has gotten a TD the past couple weeks, but with their curse'd 3 RB committee, I don't want to have to rely on him. St. Louis has the 30th worst rushing DEF, so you think Dallas will have a ground game this week?

I currently don't have a lot of faith in the coach, but I would expect the score to be run up and then the 'boys running it frequently.

yeah, Garret killed me at the end of the last game. I was thinking, cool Romo is score more again for me...then nothin.

I wonder how come he wasn't throwing more to Dez in the second half

 

[Caesar]

Who should I pick for my second WR spot. Already have Darrius Heyward-Bey for the first spot:

Kevin Walter @Ten
Steve Breaston @OAK
Greg Little @ Sea

Need to drop one:

Deion Branch (Bye)
Mario Manningham (Bye)
Victor Cruz (Bye)

Team B gets raped, simple as that

Agreed. More lopsided than that other trade mentioned earlier.

 

[Onita]

HOpefully this image isn't huge, if so I'll take it down. I'd like to make some trades and upgrade my team. My RB's are solid, but my QB's are weak, and past Welker my WR's are iffy. I'm Onita. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't really trade often, so I'm kinda clueless about it :\ I'm 5-1 at the moment, but my bench often scores HUGE. I'm thinking of trying to pick up either Stafford, Brees, or Rivers?


PPR

team records are as follows:

Ahfungoos - 4-2
Buttkickers - 4-2
Clearwater - 3-3
Cleveland - 2-4
D & D - 0-6
Guiness - 2-4
Jane - 4-2
Psycho - 4-2
Pig - 2-4

 

[edro]

anyone struggling at QB about to go grab Carson Palmer?

I did.

I have Eli and he is on bi this week. Carson is good and he will be playing with something to prove.
He has only had a week to learn the play book... so it could be very bad.
He is a veteran though, so he will at least give me + points.

 

[shocksyde]

Mike Wallace's hammy is apparently more of a question mark than originally thought. FANTASTIC. Just had to pick up Jacoby Jones as a "just in case." Not bad as a last-minute fill-in, I guess.

 

[dougp]

Who would you start, Carson Palmer or Colt McCoy?

 

[Aharami]

Who should I pick for my second WR spot. Already have Darrius Heyward-Bey for the first spot:

Kevin Walter @Ten
Steve Breaston @OAK
Greg Little @ Sea

im wondering the same exact thing. my current WRs are Steve Smith, Roddy White, Brandon Marshall, and Robert Meachem. Looking to drop Meachem

 

[shocksyde]

Who would you start, Carson Palmer or Colt McCoy?

As tempting as it is to start Palmer, I think you gotta go McCoy here. Both face middle-of-the-road (leaning towards bad) pass defenses. One hasn't played all year or practiced with his team.

If you had someone like John Beck, I'd start Palmer in a heartbeat.
