I need to drop one of these guys in my 12 team ppr league to get a QB for the bye week

Martellus Bennett, Dominick Hixon, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Ben Tate

I am thinking Bennett, he has had 2 pretty unproductive games in a row. MJD is on a bye week so I will be starting Ellis in his place (not very happy bout that). I might drop Hixon as well and pick up one of the Oakland wide receivers on the WW.

Hell I might even drop Ben Tate as well for some running back on the WW

You can prob drop Andre Brown, its pretty clear that the Giants are sticking with Bradshaw for the time being.

just proposed a trade and it got accepted:

traded:
hakeem nicks, jimmy graham

for:
rashard mendenhall, kyle randolph, eric decker

the way i see it, the giants have a harder schedule than the broncos... nicks will be wr2 to cruz... decker is wr2 to thomas. points should be around the same in the end for both. i need another rb and mendenhall should be good enough to get more points for my team. graham is doing alright, but so is rudolph and i've got owen daniel on waiver wire.

all in all, i think it was a good trade.

my running backs, now, are alfred morris, lesean mccoy, rashard mendenhall (and he's got a sweetheart schedule ahead of him).

the other guy has arian foster, darren mcfadden, and adrian peterson. wasn't about to give him mccoy.

14 TEAM non-ppr

I would give up Vick, Benjarvis, Fitz for RGIII, Beanie Wells and Kenny Britt..

Thoughts? My other RB's are Mikel Leshoure, Doug Martin and CJ2K.
Other WR's are Colston and Garcon.

I have the number 2 WW pickup this week and would be able to get either Hartline, or one of the gb running backs, or the arizona one

 

[VoteQuimby]

Was just offered Demaryius Thomas for Willis McGahee.

I'm really thin at WR and Maclin has been a letdown since WK2. However I'm not really keen on this trade because I think that I'll just be replacing points at RB with points at WR. BJGE & Brown haven't really been that great and would take over my RB2 & Flex spot.

My RBs are Lynch, McGahee, BJGE, Donald Brown
MY WRs are Harvin, Maclin, Hixon, Titus Young

Ok, NO

Beanie Wells and Kenny Britt? I can't think of 2 players with a worse injury history. And RGIII is elite but he just got his bell rung against Atlanta, I'd be weary of that.

Larry Fitzgerald is going up against the Bills this week. You don't want to miss out on that. But do something about Vick, he is terrible this year. Hell, start Kolb for this week.

Thanks...last week i offered him the same trade and he declined. I'm hurting bad for a QB.
But i'm sick of Benjarvis. I figured I could drop beanie and pick up hartline.

You are pretty thin at both positions, is this standard scoring or ppr?

There ought to be at least a decent QB on waivers unless people are hoarding them. Kolb, Ponder, Smith, even Ryan Tannehill could be a decent fill-in. Maybe Dalton or Flacco although they're probably gone by now.

QBs are deep this year and it's more important to have good WRs and RBs, which are more volatile and hard to come by.

Do NOT go after Beanie Wells (injured and out until November, and not a very good option even when healthy) or Kenny Britt (injured, on a bad team). Or any other Arizona RB for that matter. Their o-line stinks. The largest number of points any Arizona RB has scored this year is 9.5, they've only scored 1 rushing touchdown, and both Ryan Williams and Beanie Wells are sitting at under 3 yards per carry. If you want some added depth at RB, get Alex Green (Packers) since Cedric Benson is going to be out for a while and GB's been running the ball a lot more this year.

BenJarvus had a terrible week but keep in mind his next matchup is very favorable.

But I agree, he has been sliding downhill. If he can't get me decent numbers this week it may be time for dumpsville.

 

[MetalMat]

I need to pick up a bye week QB off the WW. I have the 10th spot this week, I don't expect a whole lot of QB pickups in the league this week but I would not be surprised is Ponder gets picked up but someone.

Christian Ponder @ Washington
Carson Palmer @ Atlanta
Sam Bradford @ Miami
Brandon Weeden vs. Cincinnati
Mark Sanchez vs. Indianapolis
Russell Wilson vs. New England
Josh Freeman vs. KC
Ryan Tannehill vs. St. Louis

Im thinking Ponder. If I can't get him then maybe Wilson or Palmer

 

[SunnyD]

I think Ponder or Wheeden with Freemen a close #2 given the matchup.

 

[dbk]

Bradshaw vs Niners or Leshoure vs Eagles?

I have Bradshaw in my flex spot right now but considering starting Leshoure vs Eagles over him.

 

[IAteYourMother]

Bradshaw vs Niners or Leshoure vs Eagles?

I have Bradshaw in my flex spot right now but considering starting Leshoure vs Eagles over him.

I would rather start Leshoure. SF defense gives nothing to RBs

 

[SunnyD]

Wife's QB (Brees) in on bye this week. Her backup on roster is Romo (vs. Baltimore). Pretty sure you know what my question is here. Romo or waiver wire?

you've gotta go with josh freeman.

who do you have in the waiver wire?

 

[eits]

the vikings aren't gonna go with a deep ball against the skins... they'll rely on peterson. don't go with ponder. either weeden or freeman. i say freeman.

 

[VoteQuimby]

12 team .5 ppr.

 

[SunnyD]

Does it matter?

It's an 8-man, so there should be a few. I know Schaub is out there. Top 5 on waivers in our league is:

Fitzpatrick
Alex Smith
Schaub
Ponder
Kolb

the vikings aren't gonna go with a deep ball against the skins... they'll rely on peterson. don't go with ponder. either weeden or freeman. i say freeman.

Doesn't really matter if he goes deep or not, Harvin is blowing it up with YAC. That's where Ponder is getting his numbers from. Freeman has a choice matchup, but honestly he's been ridiculously lackluster this season.

you've gotta stop posting here

What are you talking about? The Redskins' pass defense is atrocious and Josh Freeman is very mediocre.

Two words: Percy Harvin.

 

[AMDZen]

Is Antonio Gates ever gonna get right? What is his deal? I was thinking of trading for him but this person wants too much even though he sucks

 

[MetalMat]

After the pain and grief that Josh Freeman brought me last season I would rather avoid him at all costs

 

[MetalMat]

He is looking bad. After watching some Chargers games he is looking like a shadow of his former self. I will start him one more time in my 10 teamer before its dumpsville for him.
