I agree, but have to start 2. The league is only 8 people, so to make it harder, its:

2 qb

3 rb
2 te
1 flex

Is Gresham or Olson enough of an upgrade over Keller to sacrifice Cobb's upside on my bench?

new lineup:
QB - Matt Schaub

WR - Brandon Marshall
WR - Percy Harvin
TE - Vernon Davis
OP - Torrey Smith

Love it. I'd take the downgrade at TE all day for All Day.

Tough call. Smith is the better option but faces a much tougher opponent. Pretty similar chances for the big play bonus, but I'd go with the #1 guy and hope that Eagles/Ravens game is a high scoring affair. I also think Cincy has one of the better CB units in the league and that was a big factor in Pitta's big game and Torrey's lesser role.

I'm not a big fan of making trades for TEs this early in the season. If guys like Pitta / Dickson / Celek are on the wire they are likely to be useful players and negate the lost value of sending Cobb for Gresham / Olsen, who I see as similar values. Obviously, if you have to drop Cobb to add one of them then you may as well trade for the TE of your choice. If you have some other fodder you can drop, I'd rather have Cobb + WW TE than Olsen or Gresham and no Cobb.

Somewhat difficult choice between Bowe and Austin thanks to the abysmal performance by the Bills D last week. Still, becasue Bowe hasn't proven he is the top target for the Chiefs, Austin is the better play.

FlyingElvis · 09-13-2012, 11:36 AM

Pick one for my WR3 spot in a bonus point league:

+5 bonus for 100 yards receiving.
+5 bonus for 6 or more receptions.
+5 bonus for each TD of 40 yards or more.

Desean Jackson vs. Baltimore
Dewayne Bowe @ Buffalo
Alshon Jeffery @ Green Bay (note: I will be starting Marshall.)

Reposting this b/c all you a-holes ignored me.

saintsfan912 · 09-13-2012, 11:58 AM

Gotta be Bowe. Jackson has a bad matchup and don't trust Jeffrey yet to start.

slightlyaraiderfan · 09-13-2012, 12:03 PM

Forte tonight vs the Pack or wait for Ridley vs Cards, i hate having players on thurs nights

saintsfan912 · 09-13-2012, 12:06 PM

Thinking about trading Megatron, this is my current lineup.

Qb. Ryan/Flacco
HB. Reggie/Ingram/Jennings/Mendenhall/Redman
WR. Megatron/Jordy/Boldin/Titus/Lafell
TE. Gronk/Fleener

The guy that wants him has

HB. McCoy/SJax/Doug Martin/Tate
WR. Harvin/Roddy/Maclin/Cobb/DHB/mike Williams Tampa/Ogletree

What kind of offer should I think about? Martin and Maclin?

Oh and no PPR

Amateur opinion, but I would go with Bowe. Marshall could put up bonus numbers, but I don't think Jeffery will, not yet. I guess it depends on how much you trust Mike Vick versus that Ravens defense, but I can't see Jackson going off in that game. Bowe's situation isn't ideal either, but he is going up against Buffalo's D.

The Dynasty · 09-13-2012, 12:15 PM

Need some help with this trade offer.

Alfred Morris
Kenny Britt

for

Brandon Lloyd

I have Brandon Lloyd and this is a non ppr league. My running backs are currently Peterson, Green-Ellis, Ingram, and Redman. So I need RB but Idk if i should trust Morris. My WRs are Roddy White, Antonio Brown, Brandon Llyod, Titus Young, and Ogletree.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Also its a 3 WR, 2 RB, TE, 2 W/R/T league

I'd do it. Britt will be a fine replacement for Lloyd, except for this week, since they're not playing him heavy right away. And Morris might not be the starter by the end of the season, but he's their top back now, so just ride it until it lasts.

Who else do you have that prevents you from starting both?

A combination of Jackson/Martin + Maclin/Harvin would be nice. Either RB is a vast improvement and either WR is a nice replacement. Roddy wouldn't be bad, either. Have you considered shopping Flacco?

Crazy high risk / reward deal. *IF* Morris sticks as the #1 RB in Washington and *IF* Britt gets back to pre knee injury form you would reap great rewards from this trade. I think you have the depth to get away with it. Ingram could still be a nice asset down the stretch.

Bowe was my pick, too. Hopefully he steps it up and/or Britt returns to form. Marshall / Wayne and a whole slew of potential at WR3 w/Desean, Dwayne, Alshon and Kenny.

Thanks!

FlyingElvis · 09-13-2012, 12:44 PM

A guy in one of my leagues has a roster that includes Bowe, M.Bush, Weeden and Best (not sure why.)

I emailed him to suggest he change his team name but he didn't.

Best Weeden Bush under Dwayne Bowe.

Bert Macklin · 09-13-2012, 01:00 PM

Rashad Jennings or Ronnie Brown.......?

Brown. Jennings might not even play, and MJD is going to be the lead back anyway.

Thanks!

Judging by his first game, I think with more experience towards the end of the season Alshon will be a real value.

Brown I guess. Jennings is probably droppable unless you have MJD.

Definitely Brown. Jennings is out 2 weeks, though I guess it's technically unofficial still.

Gotcha. Sitting Forte is a bad idea against a bad D. Sitting Ridley seems like a bad idea with the Cards coming East for a 1pm start. Of course, sitting Charles after the Bills made Shonn Greene look like a viable NFL RB is a mistake, too. When that's the case, you go with your studs. Forte & Charles. You drafted them early for a reason.

I agree. It's a keeper league, too. Not sure he supplants my current keeper crop of McFadden / Gronkowski / Newton, but he looks like a very promising asset.

Both might be, tbh. Brinkley might be the better SD RB to own until Mathews returns.

Bert Macklin · 09-13-2012, 01:47 PM

In my other league.

Matt Ryan vs Denver

Or

Matt Schaub vs Jax?
