[TLK]

Roll with Brady tonight or go with Bradford against Atlanta?

[Coffee Warlord]

Brady.

Can't imagine trusting Bradford to put up better numbers, even when Brady has no one to throw to.

You drafted Brady to be your starting QB. Only sit him on his bye week.

[chadritt]

Ughhh, when do I bench Tom Brady for Andrew Luck?

you shouldn't have both those QBs unless you are in an 8 team league.

that being said, Id start Luck over Brady for the rest of the season or at least til Gronk is back.

[Lathum]

Stevan Ridley is killing me, 8 points through 2 games

[Coffee Warlord]

Someone kindly cut Justin Tucker earlier this week...waiver claim came through.

Thanks!

I would do it after looking at your roster. It's getting harder to trust David Wilson. Not sure which back I would take back in that trade though.

Jimmy Graham is the best player in that deal and while Thomas had a monster game it will be hard for him to do that every week with all the weapons denver has. Graham is the clear number 1 TE in the league and is basically a wide out.

While you lose a bit in Jones, I believe Desean is going to have a monster year

With the roster you have I think you can afford to make that deal.

Id try to find another WR on the waiver wire though and cut foles. You are an injury away from being in trouble there i think

That is what I was thinking, until people were saying they expect lacy to have a good week vs. washington which put that doubt in my head. Thanks brian

In my pay league, someone started Brady AND Ridley against me last night.

Thanks, Patriots!

Fuck, am I playing against you?

[Sublime 2]

Flex position in a .5 PPR league:

Daryl Richardson
Roddy White
Ben Tate
TY Hilton

[Julio Riddols]

Richardson gets my vote.

[britrock88]

Figuring out how to replace Ballard in 3 of my 4 leagues...

One league (with a low RB roster limit, and a 2 per 5 PPR score) has Ingram, Moreno, Fred Jackson, Redman, Pead, Bryce Brown, Bernard Pierce, et al. on the wire. Who's my guy?

[Coffee Warlord]

Nice.

Ahmad Bradshaw was that added piece I got in the Demarius Thomas trade.

Though Reggie Bush will still start this week for me, I dare say.

Jackson or Brown have the best chance to provide something steady week to week, IMO. Spiller has been pretty durable through his career so far, but you can't keep a back like Jackson off the field if he performs. Brown should see 5-10 touches a game by default since Philly will need to rest guys during games as they continue to run that fast paced offense.

Jackson > The Rest > Ingram

[azjoe_02]

Yahoo league, standard scoring...

Flex position with Ahmad Bradshaw or Eric Decker or Fred Jackson as my only real choices.

My quandary is that Bradshaw is facing a tough Miami defense and Decker is behind Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker. While Fred Jackson is behind Spiller...

HELP!

Fred Jackson or Bryce Brown...I'd go with Brown simply because the Eagles offense provides options for Bryce (I watched one series where McCoy was winded and needed a break).

Decker had a decent number of targets last week, he just had a rough outing. I'd expect him to bounce back while the Giants try to take away Thomas and force Denver underneath. Not only that, but Denver is probably a lock to throw 40 times a game this year, so there will be plenty of opportunities. Manning spreads that ball around pretty well.

[vex]

Who should I pick up for my TE2?


Heath Miller
Jermaine Gresham
Fred Davis
Zach Miller
Tyler Eifert
Kellen Winslow
Scott Chandler
Robert Housler
Dallas Clark
Jordan Reed
Coby Fleener

Or another sleeper.

Thanks

[Coffee Warlord]

Eifert maybe?

[Qwikshot]

I'm glad I drafted so many runningbacks but this is ridiculous

Lacy - down
Vereen - down
Wilson - mentally suspect
Reg Bush - falling apart
Le'Von Bell - well, I knew going in he'd be hurt

Only Alfred Morris seems sound (I'm sure I jinxed)

[Butter]

Marshawn Lynch pulled me through a tough matchup last night. Rather start 1-1 in my league than 0-2!

Id prob go with Heath Miller. Steelers looks terrible and are dinking and dunking. Right up Millers alley

[Honolulu_Blue]

QB question for this week:

Vick versus the Chiefs or RG3 versus the Lions.

Vick has been excellent through the first two games and RG3 has only really gotten points during garbage time (though points is points). That said, the Chiefs seem to have a pretty stout defense, while the Lions are the Lions...

[muns]

Injuries are killing me at the RB position.

I need to pick up one so who would you go with.

Atl- Rodgers
Atl- Snelling
NJY- Powell
GB- Starks

I'd go with Vick simply because he can run and their offense is on fire right now. I can see the Skins competing with the Lions if they don't get behind and run the ball effectively in the first couple of series. Morris had 100 yards on like 12 carries last week. This can certainly go either way though. Good luck with the choice.

He left me on the worse end of a 134-133 score, grrr.

[bhlloy]

Got offered Tavon Austin for Leveon Bell in a standard scoring league. My other WR are A.Johnson, Bowe, Edelman and Shorts and my RB options are Peterson, C.Johnson and Bradshaw

Obviously I need more RB depth than I need WR depth and I'm not sure Austin is going to be anywhere near a consistent option but I also have no handle on what Bells workload is going to be when he does get back and that Steelers offense looks putrid. Thoughts?

[Qwikshot]

No, the owner backed away...he wants a lot fo DJax.

[Coffee Warlord]

Boldin vs Indy or Colston vs Arizona this week. Not sure on that one.

[Sublime 2]

Got offered DJax and Blackmon for VJax and Ben Tate.
He has Foster, and I'm a little weak at WR. Seems fairly even?

[Vince, Pt. II]

@CW: I like Boldin, if only because I think the 49ers are going to annihilate the Colts and Kaepernick only has Davis and Boldin to throw at, really.

@Sublime: Meh. You're giving up the best player in the deal in VJax, and I'm certain that DeSean isn't going to keep up this production all season (despite how much the Kelly offense seems to fit him). Blackmon is going to be nice when he gets back, especially since the Jags will be throwing a ton...but I still don't know if you even improve your team with the trade. Who will Blackmon replace in your lineup? I'm leaning no on the trade.

---

And now my question: I'm really keen on buying low on Frank Gore - he's a notoriously slow starter, and he's had a bad running situation two weeks in a row. I think he's going to be fine, and now would be a good time to strike to pick him up. The question is how much is too much to give up? I've got a team with the following RBs, and I'm thinking of offering McFadden for Gore:

Jamaal Charles
Reggie Bush
Darren McFadden
Eddie Lacy
Ryan Mathews
Joique Bell

Thoughts?

[claphamsa]

PPR league, I need a flex. Dez and Megatron are my WRs and my Rbs are Gore and Mcfadden.... but for flex my choices are, Bernard, joiqui bell, Jacquizz, steve smith, and pierre thomas.

[B & B]

Bell when they rule Bush out tomorrow morning, otherwise PT will be getting some touches for sure.

[cmp]

Pick 1 WR to keep on my roster:

Kenny Britt
Golden Tate
Kenbrell Thompkins

[Vince, Pt. II]

Britt is probably the wise choice, though I can't help but think that Thompkins has to improve. When he gets his feet under him, he may be a great WR to have, since Brady has Edelman and not much else to throw to.

Given you have insane rb depth there is no reason yiu should trade the higher upside player in McFadden for a much lower upside with gore

[rowech]

I have to start one of these RBs...

Starks vs CIN
Green-Ellis vs GB
Ivory vs BUF

I'm leaning towards Green-Ellis thinking Cincy will make a real commitment to the run to keep GB offense off the field.

[Vince, Pt. II]

I think I know this, but I really like buying Gore low right now. Unfortunately in my other leagues, Gore is on teams that have literally no other RBs, so it doesn't really work elsewhere.

[Danny]

But if he costs McFadden you aren't buying low. Run DMC should have a great season if he can stay healthy as Pryor running threat opens up stuff for him

[albionmoonlight]

I've got AP, J. Charles, Forte, and Joique Bell. My TE is Jerald Cook.

Would I be insane to offer AP straight-up for Jimmy Graham? I am considering it.

[Butter]

I benched Russell Wilson in favor of Eli Manning this week.

I am the stupidest person alive.

I don't think you're insane at all if this is a PPR league. Minnesota's situation kills Peterson's productivity. Teams might as well put all 11 in the box against the Vikings.
