Somehow I went 3-0 in the AT leagues. No idea how, particularly with that goose egg from Pitta in the one league.

It's all downhill from here!

Yet another trade offer review... got offered Michael Crabtree and Alfred Morris for Percy Harvin. My Team:
QB: Drew Brees
RB: Trent Richardson, Marshawn Lynch, McFadden (BYE), Andrew Brown
WR: Percy Harvin, Stevie Johnson, Ramses Barden, Miles Austin (BYE), Santonio (Drop him like it's hot) Holmes

This is a bye week for a couple of my guys obviously and Morris and Crabtree may help plug up holes in my RB and WR depth chart. On the other hand, i'm giving up Harvin and i'm worried about Crabtree's scoring consistency. ::EDIT:: Probably not the best trade offer but i'm worried about my RB core in case they underperform :;cough::McFadden::cough::

 

[slayer202]

I wouldn't even consider it for a second if it's ppr. If not, I still don't think it's worth it

 

[SunnyD]

You have absolutely no need for a RB2.5 with your RB depth and Crabtree is... well, any receiver not named Vernon Davis on the 49ers is not a consistent threat like Harvin is.

Drop Holmes and pick up Hartline if he's available and call it a day.

Don't worry about underperforming RB's on your roster. You have 3 feature backs (RB1's), and the only way they underperform is if they have a bad day which happens. You can't do anything about dumb luck.

My friends talked me into a league this year. Sitting at 3-1 and going up against the person that is 4-0. My WR problem this week:

Jennings and Nicks are injured

Megatron and Austin are on bye.

I have to find some help. I do have five starting RBs though, so I may try to trade one.
Peterson
McCoy
Gore
Morris
Williams (AZ)

I picked up Brown (Giants back up) last week, may drop him for a WR fill in. I have Eli starting and Schaub on my bench, so I can get rid of one of them possibly.

This is an eight team league.

Yeah I immediately declined the offer after I posted. For some reason I thought crabtree was doing a lot better than he actually was. Hartline isn't available. The best I can do now is drop Holmes for either Scott Chandler (since Celek hasn't been doing too hot) or for Andre Roberts to reinforce my WR depth.

 

[spidey07]

Put 15 on waiver for WR Hartline. The upside is just too good with miami rookie QB.

Hartline will be the hot pickup this week. In the ATOT auction league I will be looking to trade one of my wide recievers, have 5.

 

[Crono]

A lot of interesting players after this week in my league (PPR) on the waiver wire.

 

[Aharami]

I have Holmes. Holmes is out for multiple weeks. All the good WRs are taken. I dunno who to pick up. These are the Flex positions available. Thoughts?

and this is my team. Im actually thinking about not dropping Holmes since there arent any good WR's left, and dropping Hankerson or Pierre Thomas. Crazy talk?

 

[Crono]

I have Holmes. Holmes is out for multiple weeks. All the good WRs are taken. I dunno who to pick up. These are the WRs available. Thoughts?

Davone Bess. 86 yds receiving week 3, and 123 yards on Sunday. Hartline put up more yards and might be Tannehill's preferred option, but Bess is a good WR. He's never been consistent, but might be worth gambling on from time to time.

 

[MetalMat]

That is slim pickens on the waiver wire. Besides the first two you can't really trust anyone else, and even the first two are iffy. Some sleepers may be Randall Cobb, Davon Bess and Andrew Hawkins. Devery Henderson may have some future value if the Saints receivers keep dropping passes but that's a super sleeper.

Almost worth it just to hang on to Santonio Holmes just to see how bad his injury is.

 

[Aharami]

yea I plan on holding onto Holmes. I was thinking about picking up hartline last Thurs. But didnt pull the trigger and someone else got him

If I pick up Bess or Hawkins, who do I drop?

 

[MetalMat]

Shonn Greene, he has shown nothing so far this year.

And I would hold up on the Hartline love even though he will be picked up by everyone and his momma this week. It's not like defenses did not notice what he did in week 4.

 

[Aharami]

i dunno what the hell Greene is doing. You'd think he'd put up more of an effort during his contract year

 

[MetalMat]

I think it is just the Jets offense as a whole. It also looks like they are planning on mixing in Bilal Powell.

And the Saints run offense is terrible right now, Pierre Thomas is getting close to dumpsville.

 

[Aharami]

Agree on Thomas. But need to keep a backup RB for week 6/7 bye weeks for my starters

 

[MetalMat]

Saints have a bye week 6 fyi

 

[Aharami]

sorry, meant 7/8 BYE weeks when McGahee and Green-Ellis will be gone

 

[Aharami]

im thinking I wanna keep Greene around. It is his contract year after all...so maybe he will try and make something happen. Also with no good RB's left, maybe I should keep backups in case my starters get injured.

Thinking about dropping Jared Cook for Davone Bess. I dont really need two backup TEs and I can play RB/WR/TE in my flex position

 

[eits]

so, here is the dilemma... i don't know if i should accept this trade.

now, it's a trade for graham for mendenhall and rudolph

here is who i have:

qb: eli
rb: mccoy
rb: morris
wr: steve smith
wr: fitz
wr: malcolm floyd
te: heath miller
r/w/t: jimmy graham

b: rivers
b: andre brown
b: tashard choice <--- waiting to be dropped for kevin kolb off waivers... fingers crossed.
b: jacquizz rodgers
b: andrew hawkins
b: nicks

k: tynes <--- waiting to drop for zeurlein off waivers... fingers crossed.

def: arizona

 

[boomer6447]

would you drop any of these for hartline?? 14 team, non ppr
Chris Johnson
Benjarvis
Doug Martin
Mikel Leshoure
Larry Fitzgerald
Marcus Colston
Pierre Garcon

I can't justify dropping any of those.....but maybe i'm missing something..

thoughts?

Thats fine, looking at your running backs you might be in some doodoo. BenJarvus is not exactly lighting up the scoreboard either, I have him in a couple leagues as my backup on bye weeks and he keeps looking worse and worse each game.

Looking at how slim pickens your wr wavier was I doubt there are any running backs right now as well so keeping those 2 as backups may be wise.

 

[shocksyde]

Jackie Battle or Brandon Bolden as a bye week fill-in?
