Was offered McFadden/romo for Reggie bush/joique bell

Current qb is luck.. Ppr league.

[Neuqua]

What's Bolden's potential in NE?

I had to drop Vareen earlier in the year and I have no depth at RB outside my starters (Forte/Richardson, McFadden at flex usually.)

The only RB I have on my bench is Hillman, who pretty much is just a lottery ticket at this point. Oh, it's a .5/PPR league.

Can Bolden do what Vareen was expected to do over the next few weeks? Is he worth a roster spot for bye weeks? There's not many RB's out there in waivers.

[Ronnie Dobbs3]

Who the hell knows.

Seriously. Bolden could get 1200 all purpose yards the rest of the season, or 150. RB situation in NE impossible to predict.

I'd keep Bush/Bell. Romo is better than you can get on waivers, but not by much. And McFadden is at a sell-high point, IMO.

[Coffee Warlord]

Deciding between Reggie Bush & Joique Bell this week is gonna be rough.

Anquan Bolding vs Marques Colston? Not so much this week. Can't trust Kaepernick right now, despite the easier matchup.

[Lathum]

Aaron Rodgers is my starting QB, on a bye this week. Go with

Schaub at home vs Seattle
Gino@ Tenn
Alex Smith home vs Giants
Palmer @ Tampa
Henne home vs Indy

[Julio Riddols]

Alex Smith easily.

[markprior22]

Flex in standard ESPN league (no ppr)

-Joique Bell vs Isaiah Pead (with Bush coming back...don't know what to think about Bell's opportunities.

M Bennett vs Vernon Davis at TE-Looks like I'm going to have to go with Bennett due to VD's questionable status. I won't be around a computer for about 3 hrs prior to game tonight so I can't wait until last minute.

[QuikSand]

Bell, Bennett, Boom

[Sublime 2]

Flex in a .5 PPR

TY Hilton vs. Jax
Ryan Broyles vs. Chi
Fred Jackson vs. Bal

[Qwikshot]

Keeper League Trade:

Le'Veon Bell, Eddie Lacy and 2nd round 2015 pick for Brady and Ridley and 5th round 2015 pick

Last place team has Luck and Foster

I have Kaep, Reggie Bush, Alfred Morris, and David Wilson along with Julio Jones and Cobb at the WR/WR slots (Kembrell Thompkins is covering for Cobb this bye week).

What say you?

Holy Moly, we have nearly the same team...I, too, have Bush, Wilson, Julio and Cobb. I have DJax as my 3rd WR, Miller is my 3rd RB and have both Romo and Brady at QB...and I'm 0-3 in that league. Stupid RBs.

[vex]

Who should I play at WR this week (pick 3):

Brandon Marshall vs NO
Stevie Johnson @Cle
Andre Johnson @SF
Dwayne Bowe @Ten
Justin Blackmon @StL

Thanks!

[rowech]

Really torn on whether to start Kaepernick versus Houston or Bradford verus Jacksonville.

[sooner333]

With Calvin Johnson out, I am in a tough spot. McGahee already played on Thursday, so he's not a FLEX option. I am looking at starting Amendola and Edelman (go Pats) at WR. Then either Tavon Austin or Jason Snelling at FLEX. PPR league with 1 pt. per 15 yards REC and 10 yards rushing.

I'd go with Bradford just because the Jags are terrible. But, it's hard to do that after last week. Also, I'm an OU guy so a little biased.

With Calvin Johnson scratched, I went with Bradford for the chance at putting up bigger numbers. I don't think I'll win anyway. Fifth week in a row I have not been able to field what was to be my starting lineup.

[cmp]

Drop Coby Fleener for Garrett Graham?

[Qwikshot]

I guess Julio Jones is probably done for the year...the vultures are circling...someone just tried to pawn Steve Smith and Monte Ball for Le'Veon Bell and he wanted my 3rd rounder next season...

[cmp]

Non PPR league, we start:
1 QB
2 RB
1 RB/WR
3 WR

My team has

QB: Ryan, Newton
RB: Morris, Spiller, Lacy, Mathews,
WR: Nelson, Garcon, Colston, Nicks, Decker, Blackmon, K. Allen, Harvin

I was just offered Moreno and Ball for Nelson. Do I take it?

[INDalltheway]

Trade offer I am really struggling with. PPR league.

I'd get --
Wes Welker
CJ Spiller
Jimmy Graham

I'd give up --
Jordy Nelson
Jamal Charles

My team currently has
RB - Arian Foster, Jamal Charles, Lamar Miller, Steven Ridley
WR - Jordy Nelson, Golden Tate, Amendola, Aaron Dobson, Mike Williams
TE - Greg Olson

The upgrade at TE would be pretty significant. Welker and Nelson are pretty similar. Charles is definitely the best RB going right now, and Spiller would be a risk. What does FOFC think?

[Travis]

Assuming there is no keeper aspect to this league, if you like Spiller at all I think you make the deal. Graham is a huge upgrade at TE and it sounds like his injury isn't anything serious. Spiller *should* put up better numbers as he goes, but even if he doesn't, the improvement at TE is negating the drop off at RB while Welker/Nelson have been a wash thus far.

Really this seems to boil down to Charles for Spiller/Graham. You've got some nice upside depth at RB to hopefully make moving Charles not hurt you much there. I'd vote for making the deal.

[britrock88]

I say do it.

[britrock88]

Also, an anecdote so you all can make fun of me: in the FOFC ESPN league, I have Foster and Sproles as my week-to-week RBs, with nothing good in the way of backups. With Sproles on a bye, my choice for my RB2 this week came down to Andre Ellington and Mike Tolbert. I chose... poorly.

[INDalltheway]

Should Welker having an upcoming bye while Jordy has already had his bye slow me down? I am kind of hung up on that.

[Suicane75]

I dropped Marvin Jones as my WR#4 this morning for Cole Beasley. So would you jump off of the closest bridge or just shoot yourself? Advice pls.

who plays 4 WRs?

[Suicane75]

Deep ass leagues.

After reading that Arizona intended to limit Ellington's touches I decided to drop him in favor of Randle of Dallas. So that didn't work out well.

[judicial clerk]

12 team almost standard scoring Yahoo league with only 3 bench positions, keepers, and no waiver wire. My team s 5-3 and te other guy is 6-2. Need trade advice:

I give up tom Brady and Marques Coston and I get Phillip Rivers and DeAngelo Williams. Rivers doesnt start for the other guy and his receivers suck. Brady and Colston both start for me but they have both been woefully underperforming. Also, Rivers could be a keeper for me next year in exchange for my tenth round draft pick.

I think I make this trade even though deangelo williams means nothing to me and will be cut if i cant tade him. Brady's tackle Vollmer jst went on IR and he has just sucked so bad. He is dragging my team down. Is there a reason nt to make this deal?

[Lathum]

I say make it unless you are really weak at receiver.

[judicial clerk]

I actually am pretty weak at wr. If I make the trade I would probably drop willams and pick up Keenan Allen and start him. I would go fom starting Brady and Colston to starting Rivers and Keenan Allen or Brian Hartline. I just feel like I need to get out from under Brady.

[britrock88]

A weird league I'm in starts only 1 RB and only lets you roster 3. I have Moreno, Bernard, and Sproles. Fred Jackson is a free agent, somehow. Should I pick him up? And at whose expense--Bernard or Sproles's?

[Ronnie Dobbs3]

PPR?

[Ronnie Dobbs3]

Well actually either way does it matter past this week? Moreno will be your starter, I'd assume, so pick which of those three you like best this week. Probably Jackson, so drop Sproles most likely.

[britrock88]

Heh. I'm already picking among Graham, Gronk, and Bennett to play at TE and FLEX each week, so Jackson would probably end up playing into the FLEX consideration. ... Did I mention this league is weird?

[MrBug708]

Scott Chandler vs the Rams
Jared Cook vs Tennessee

Both have the backup QB's starting

Also
Colts D @ Houston
NO's D @ Jets

[Coffee Warlord]

Jason Witten vs MIN or Jordan Reed vs SD? (Non PPR league)

Witten's not been getting a lot of looks lately, whereas Reed is the latest hot shit. Matchup favors Witten, however.

Minnesota is pretty pathetic at stopping tight ends, I'd go with Witten.

I'd go with Chandler. Tenn. is more likely, I think, to have scoring opportunities.

And I'd go with NOLA over the Colts. Geno Smith gives you the potential upside play of multiple turnovers. I will say, however, that the Saints really do play worse outdoors, so there's a potential downside there if the Saints offense turns it over and keeps giving the Jets a short field.

With TEs, I tend to go with long-term value over the flavor of the week. I'd pick Witten.

[lungs]

Cam Newton vs. Atlanta or Tony Romo vs. Minnesota? I struggle with this decision weekly. I do have Dez Bryant on my team so when Romo and Dez get it going it's pretty awesome.

[Julio Riddols]

I'd go with Romo over any other QB this week.

[lungs]

You can probably guess the only week I benched Romo......

[Qwikshot]

My team is 4-5 but there is a surprising amount of parity and I decided to go for it (keeper league)

QB- Luck
RB- Morris
RB- CJ (vs Jax this week)
(flex) RB- Zak Stacy
WR - Welker
WR - DJax
TE- Julius Thomas

Bench - Le'Von Bell, Kenan Allen, Foles

I've exhausted all 3 of my draft picks next year

I face the best team in the league this week but after that (if I net a win) the rest of the teams should be winnable for a playoff slot

So does anyone think I have a chance against this week's team?

Peyton
Lacy
Ellington (Cards RB)
Lynch
Dem. Thomas
Brandon Marshall
Jimmy Graham

?

[Coffee Warlord]

That's a harsh opponent.

[StLee]

Since I have no RB depth and Ridley is on bye, I'm going to play 2 WRs in my flex spots. Here are my seven WRs. Which FOUR do you play?

Larry Fitzgerald, Ariz vs Hou
Antonio Brown, Pitt vs Buff
Terrance Williams, Dall vs NO
Marvin Jones, Cin vs Balt
Denarius Moore, Oak vs NYG
Lance Moore, NO vs Dall
Hakeem Nicks, NYG vs Oak

Just to tell you what I'm thinking:
Fitzgerald - bad QB be damned
Hicks - after what Oak gave up to Philly, the Giants plan to throw all day, right?
Brown - because he is a top WR and Buff gives up a lot of yards
D. Moore - because the Giants give up a lot of points, too

Any thing you would change?

[Coffee Warlord]

Moore, Fitz, Williams (expecting a shootout there) would be three I'd go with.

[Julio Riddols]

I'd take the top 4 in order. Fitz, Brown, Williams, Jones.

[Vince, Pt. II]

So, 2 RB, 2 WR and one Flex...who do I play?

RB
Alfred Morris (vs NYG)
Maurice Jones-Drew (@ Cle)
Andre Ellington (@ Phi)
Joique Bell (vs GB)
Darren McFadden (@ Dal)

WR
Eric Decker (@ KC)
TY Hilton (vs Ten)
Roddy White (@ Buf)
DeAndre Hopkins (vs NE)
Cecil Shorts (@ Cle)

Alfred Morris seems to be the only real must-start, though Decker and Hilton are probably there too. After that, it gets dicey. I feel like Roddy White HAS to break out one of these games, but I don't know if I want to bet my playoff life on it.
