I came into MNF with a 25 point lead and Murray to play. My opponent has Romo, Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman. Both of those assholes score defensive goddamned touchdowns and Murray is doing nothing. I'm down 9 now.

RB J Charles, D McFadden(bye), R Mathews, C Spiller, F Jackson, P Hillis
TE T Gonzalez
D/ST Texans
K D Akers

1. Should I use my #2 waiver on Jackie Battle and start both him and Mathews vs a terrible Saints defense?
2. Should I keep my waiver position and start one of Fred Jackson or CJ Spiller vs the 49ers?
3. Keep my waiver position and try for what ever is left over after claims?

I would have a hard time trusting Mathews and Battle. San Diego has shown they can put up some absolute stinkers. I'd go Cruz / Smith / Colston / Charles / Mathews / Spiller (hoping for a big play.)

Maybe consider adding a TE with a nice matchup?

Holy **** that TD pass from Cutler just put me up by 4 and my opponent has Murray!

1. Cardinals are at home, they will win
2. S-Jax is a washed up RB behind a terrible O-Line vs a great run defense

[Bert Macklin]

Needed Marshall to not score 21.9 looks line he's scoring 19. 80. Yeye!

[Bert Macklin]

I'm 3-1!










And 2-2.......

[Hines]

So I just traded DJax and CJ Spiller for Run DMC and Ryan Williams. I had WR depth outta the ass and needed a sure fire number 1 RB with myself having only Martin, Alfred, and Mendenhall to count on. Fair deal?

It's a good deal if the Cardinals don't throw the ball 85 times a game.

Should I sell high on Hartline? Or ride him?

As long as he stays healthy and Tannehill does as well, with so many targets, he's going to get his. But it depends on how high you can sell him.

In other news, I lost by less than a point in one league thanks to Romo's inspiring performance.

[Bert Macklin]

So I'm thin at RB and a buddy just proposed Bradshaw and Rudolph (still have Pitta) for Vernon Davis and McCluster.

Good trade?

[BaLLiN]

Julio Jones had 1 catch, my players combined for 5 fumbles, I sat Marques Colston, Gostkowski missed 2 fg's, and i lost by .19 with demarco murray still playing.....

...**** fantasy football

[DiG]

Keeper league .5 PPR

RBS:
Matt Forte RD2
Stevan Ridley RD4
Ryan Matthews RD6
Mikel Leshoure RD11

Which do I try to trade? Looking to upgrade at WR with Nicks injury. Might target Roddy or AJ Green.

[tjsunstein]

Lost thanks to Dez and Marshall combining for 38.5 last night. Awesome. Possible 3-1 and being in 3rd drops to 2-2 and being in 7th. Only 4/19 make the playoffs in my money league.

[Bert Macklin]

Vernon Davis and CJ Spiller for Richardson and Owen Daniels.

Thoughts?

1. Cardinals are not at home. They will still likely win, but it certainly isn't a given.
2. Obviously Steven Jackson is a shadow of his former self but his still has some left in the tank. He certainly has a tough matchup but I don't think 70 total yards and a TD is unrealistic, which would be good production from a flex play.

Told you not to overthink it. Fantasy football is simple, you play your studs.

[Hines]

I need a flex.

Mendenhall vs Philly
Lance Moore vs SD

1 point PPR.

Who would you trust more Ridley or Bradshaw?

Spiller will be a headache b/c Fred works too hard to just go away. I like snagging McFadden and Williams in that deal, especially if you won't miss DeSean.

It definitely depends what you can get, but he should certainly be shopped after a huge game.

You're getting Bradshaw? Bradshaw and Rudolph is definitely the better side of the deal. Davis should be more consistent but Rudolph is quickly looking like the #2 pass catcher and top redzone target for Minny.

Ridley has the most obvious value right now. I'd say he's your best bet to secure a top WR option. Forte & Mathews have injury and competition concerns and LeShoure is a definite keeper in that group, plus he has one great week and one bad week so his value isn't as high as it should be (when considering people's perceptions, anyway.)

If you're getting Richardson and Daniels, do it. Spiller looks awesome but is still looking banged up and Fred won't go away. Richardson is changing my opinion quickly. I still think he'll have down weeks but there's just no arguing the value of a guy who is getting the entire workload.

Moore. There's no way to gauge what kind of workload Mendy will have and the Oline is still not doing much for any RB.

Ridley. It's close, but Brown looks better than Bradshaw and NE seems to be content playing power run to set up play action.

[ryno626]

I have a log jam at WR this week. D Bowe vs SD, B Lloyd vs DEN, E Decker vs NE, M Wallace vs PHI and Antonio Brown vs PHI. I maybe able to snag J Jones off waivers if my claim goes through and I have Rodgers as my QB.

Non PPR, 2 WR spots and flex so best combo of the 3 would be greatly appreciated. I'm leaning towards Wallace, Bowe and Lloyd but between the five of them they are projected to score the same amount of points.

I haven't had any luck moving any of the guys for RB because that's my weakness.

[Bert Macklin]

Did Ridley Fleener and Kolb for Davis McCluster and Choice
