First in points and first in points scored against. Puts me in 5th place.

 

[AstroManLuca]

So my gf and I have been talking trade. Here's what she's proposing.

Her: Giving me Calvin Johnson for Demarius Thomas

I told her the only way I'd consider trading Thomas away is if I got a RB in the trade too, so:

Her: Giving me Alfred Morris in trade for Kendall Hunter (<---told you I needed RB's). I think her plan is to see if Hunter can perform since Gore MIGHT be out. If not, she'll drop him for someone better on waiver wire, though pickins are slim.

What do you guys think of this trade?

Alfred Morris for Kendall Hunter is straight up highway robbery. Morris is an every-week starter, top 10 RB at worst, maybe closer to top 5 with all the injuries this year. Kendall Hunter is barely worth a roster spot unless you're in a very deep league.

You should feel bad for even considering this trade.

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

I cant believe some of these questions are even being asked here.

Is it cheating? Come on dude, seriously?

Is this a good trade? You're giving up a backup RB for the #3 overall RB in the league. Yeah, nice trade.

/steps off high horse

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

Also, don't trade with your girlfriend in that league. Just dont. For everyone else's sake. I feel sorry for the rest of them.

Agreed. Its just bad. One of the leagues I'm in has three brothers playing. Even on a some legit trade, people veto. Nicks for Jennings is legit to me but was declined.

 

[Aharami]

anyone worth picking up for flex this week (see screenshot)?

here's my team

 

[MetalMat]

Brandon Stokley is up against the saints, he may have a pretty good day.

 

[AMDZen]

You gotta be reachin if you're looking at Stokely. I'd start Thomas and Decker though.

Wondering if I should start Decker over Victor Cruz or Percy Harvin. Hmmm. Its tough even when you're team is as stacked as mine. Right now I'm going with Harvin and Decker due to matchups, but its hard to bench the #2 WR in the league (default scoring) in Cruz

 

[slayer202]

can't bench cruz or harvin

 

[AMDZen]

Here is my favorite fantasy team this year. 6-1 right now.

I call it the awesome ass, pwn your ass, stacked ass team from your momma's basement.

 

[AMDZen]

can't bench cruz or harvin

I am though, in favor of Decker. This week.

STACKED I AM!! YESSSS!!

thoughts on trading away bradshaw for mcgahee?

thoughts on trading away bradshaw for mcgahee?

You get McGahee? Personally I wouldn't do it.

Ronnie Hillman will slowly get more and more carries and the Broncos are a throwing team now. They throw to setup the run, the way P Manning has always done it. Giants run a bit more and have the better running o-line, where as the Broncos o-line is better for pass protection.

However, Bradshaw is the more injury prone.

Tough call. You would probably be good with either

 

[JujuFish]

Fitzgerald, VJax, Lance Moore

Which 2 of these should I start? PPR. Normally I go with Fitzgerald and Jackson, but they both have pretty tough matchups and Brees will probably have to throw a lot against Manning.

 

[AMDZen]

I would still go Fitz and VJax

Lance Moore is one of those guys that will either blow up for 100 yds and 2 TD's or get 1 catch for 12 yards and thats it. Go with your gut though

 

[Connoisseur]

Really? I mean they're both favorable matchups but Cruz is by far the better receiver. Every giants/cowboys game is a shootout.

jackson and moore (tough call on moore, though)

Going with my gut. We'll see what happens. I imagine both players will do fine. Thats what its like to have an awesome team such as mine. Doesn't matter who you play, cuz everyone on your team pwns

Bradshaw's also got a bye in Week 11, I believe, whereas McGahee has already had his. I also have Hillman, btw. I also have Fitzgerald and thought about packaging a deal with Bradshaw for Miles Austin and McGahee.. Worried about Fitz' bye but a WR bye definitely manageable compared to a bye on a RB.

 

[AMDZen]

Hillman isn't worth carrying unless its a super deep, 16 team league or something.

He will steal more and more carries, but never be a viable starter

 

[Caesar]

What do you guys think? Any changes? I picked up SD D/ST this week and will drop Kyle Rudolph when Graham is healthy

QB: Peyton Manning, Michael Vick
RB: Frank Gore, Lesean McCoy, Alfred Morris, Vick Ballard
WR: Marques Colston, Brandon Lloyd, Greg Jennings, Josh Gordon, Mario Manningham
TE: Kyle Rudolph, Jimmy Graham
K: Lawrence Tynes
D/ST: Chargers, Texans, Ravens

 

[AMDZen]

You should start Morris instead of McCoy. Eagles don't run the ball, they blow too hard and Andy Ried doesn't know how to run the ball.

In fact, everyone should trade McCoy if he ever has a really good week because it will be the only one he has, trade him while his stock is high

Also, you should start Vick over Manning.

And seriously, who carries 3 defenses, WTF?

What about your flex spot? Put Alfred Morris in there.

EDIT: And don't bench McCoy, the Falcons are a weak rush defense. I know Andy Reid has been stupid with refusing to run the ball despite having one of the best RBs in the league, but he's on the hot seat now so maybe he changes things up coming out of the bye.

Why are you carrying 3 defenses? Drop the Ravens defense.

With Peyton Manning playing great (and past the bye week) I don't see any reason to carry Michael Vick as a backup, I would try to make a trade.

No way, Victor Cruz and Percy Harvin are WR studs. Why would you even gamble with Decker?
