It was an auction league with a $200 budget. This was their draft. I can't tell if this strategy is genius or completely retarded, but this person currently sits in first place with the next closest person >100 points away:
1 Peyton Manning, Den QB $40
6 Marshawn Lynch, Sea RB $48
11 Vincent Jackson, TB WR $31
16 Jordy Nelson, GB WR $34
29 Julius Thomas, Den TE $31
60 Shonn Greene, Ten RB $1
94 Carson Palmer*, Ari QB $2
101 Broncos D/ST D/ST $2
108 Blair Walsh, Min K $1
132 Willis McGahee, Cle RB $1
138 Mark Ingram, NO RB $4
174 Andre Williams, NYG RB $1
181 Knile Davis, KC RB $1
186 Tavon Austin, StL WR $1
191 Alex Smith, KC QB $1
192 Ahmad Bradshaw, Ind RB $1
Ahh the "studs n scrubs" auction strategy. Risky strategy, but the strategy is definitely closer to genius than retarded...as the above indicates.

Yeah it was my first year in an auction league so I'm not use to draft strategy. Although I got great value and depth at every position, I still lost almost all my starters to injury, and this guy goes an entire season with his top 5 picks being in perfect shape. Yay fantasy.
I currently have Hoyer and Flacco as my QBs. Flacco is on bye this week.
Avaialble on waivers are RG3 and Drew Stanton
What to do. What ... to ... do.
Right now I have waiver 1 in for Stanton to replace Hoyer and if Stanton is taken in front of me on waivers, I get RG3 in place of Hoyer. I currently am holding onto Flacco. I think I am playing it correctly.
Thoughts.
Managed to get two deals done at the deadline. My roster before the trades:
QB - Jay Cutler
WR - Emmanuel Sanders
WR - Denard Robinson
RB - LeSean McCoy
RB - Justin Forsett
TE - Julius Thomas
W/R/T - Odell Beckham Jr.
Q/W/R/T - Ryan Tannehill
Bench - Reggie Wayne
Bench - Steve Smith Sr.
Bench - Martavis Bryant
Bench - Montee Ball
Bench - Cordarelle Patterson
Bench - Ryan Mallett
I managed these trades.
Emmanuel Sanders for Matt Forte
LeSean McCoy and Martavis Bryant for Demarco Murray and Alshon Jeffery
So that changes my lineup to:
QB - Jay Cutler
WR - Odell Beckham Jr.
WR - Denard Robinson
RB - Matt Forte
RB - Demarco Murray
TE - Julius Thomas
W/R/T - Justin Forsett
Q/W/R/T - Ryan Tannehill
Bench - Montee Ball
Bench - Steve Smith Sr.
Bench - Alshon Jeffery
Bench - Reggie Wayne
Bench - Cordarelle Patterson
Bench - Ryan Mallett
I think these moves really help me going into the playoffs, and give me better depth at RB.
Anyways, question - do I drop the #3 kicker in the league (Dan Bailey) during his bye or do I drop someone like Cordarelle Patterson? I think dropping a high scoring kicker might be a bad idea that bites me in the ass if someone picks him up.
Denard is an RB...
The Shady/Bryant trade was straight up larceny - both players are better than what you sent. I know it's a 2 QB league but I'd drop Mallet (who sucks) in favor of a decent backup TE if one is on the wire.
Personally I would have kept Sanders since your remaining WR corps wouldn't frighten me if I were playing you, but understand why you did it. I don't think CPatt helps you and would drop him, but see what's on the WW to replace him after the bye - no way I'd drop Bailey.

Should I start Pierre Garcon or Mike Wallace for Week 11?
Garcon has a higher over/under by 3~ points and a much weaker defense. He faces a pitiful secondary (Banks/Verner/Johnson) most likely matched up against the burnable Banks. The only concern is that the Skins blow them out and then kill clock.Should I start Pierre Garcon or Mike Wallace for Week 11?
