I'm about to trade Matt Cassel and Carlos Rogers for a 2013 fifth round pick and Devin McCourty. I have no idea if this is a good deal or not... My starting QB is Schaub, and I don't know which QB I can pick up right now..

holt_bruce81 · 09-04-2012, 06:27 AM

After week 2, who would you rather have....

Jonathan Dwyer, Alex Green, Kevin Smith, Evan Royster, or Ronnie Brown? (I have Ryan Mathews)

Or not any? (probably be my 5th back behind CJ, Trent, Mathews and Ryan Williams) I think the Packers are high on Alex Green so I kinda want to snag him up and stash him away. Might even do that after week 1.

fenikz · 09-04-2012, 06:31 AM

I was pretty high on Alex Green a few weeks ago but I think it's gonna be all Benson. Smith or Royster for me, Smith isn't good but anyone in that backfield can get injured at any moment and he becomes the go to guy(like now). Royster is more talented but it is just such a headache using Shanahan RBs

SuperPacker · 09-04-2012, 06:34 AM

Green is gonna get some carries, but he's going to be limited. He's the 3rd down back so in ppr leagues, he's probably worth a tiny bit more, but I still can't see him averaging more than 4 point a game at the most.

A Perfect Score · 09-04-2012, 07:14 AM

I'd go with Royster. He'll get touches in Washington, especially around the goal line. He's a big back who fits Shanahan's scheme well...Beyond that, its a crapshoot looking at that RB situation, but for the moment, I think you've gotta go with the starter.

Alright Gents could use some assistance.

QB (Pick One)
- Shaub vs Miami
- Cutler vs Indy

WR (Pick Three)
- L. Fitzgerald at Seattle
- Welker at Tennessee
- V. Jackson vs Carolina
- B. Lloyd at Tennessee

Schaub
Fitz
Welker
Jackson

Brady supposedly hasn't built a chemistry with Lloyd yet.

Agree with the receivers, but I'd go Cutler.

I don't trust Vincent Jackson in Tampa Bay. Indianapolis is more potent on offense than Miami, leaving Cutler to throw more than Schaub.

I need a flex opinion.

Mark Ingram
Ryan Williams
Stevan Ridley
Brandon Lloyd
Mike Williams Tampa
Ed Dickson

Have Colston and Torrey Smith starting at WR, Charles and Reggie Bush starting at HB. Gronk is my TE.

Ridley or Lloyd are the only two guys I would legitimately play this week (Ryan Williams will be a great option in a couple weeks, I think, but not yet).

I would personally go Lloyd here, though.

saintsfan912 · 09-04-2012, 10:09 AM

That's who I have penciled in, just wanted some assurance. I love Williams in 4 weeks when he takes Beanie's job, if he can stay healthy.

saintsfan912 · 09-04-2012, 11:18 AM

If it wasn't a 4:45 draft I'd be in. I'm still at work at that time.

So if you keep Cruz who you got in the 8 round, you will lose 7th round pick or you keep your 2nd rounder you lose 1st round pick.

Why so complicated? Why not just lose the pick in the round you selected your keeper?

brat316 · 09-04-2012, 12:16 PM

i'm just being difficult hahah.

Keeps things interesting, I guess.

Rob S · 09-04-2012, 01:53 PM

My draft is at 4 est today and I have the first pick. As of now I am going with foster. Anyone care to make a compelling argument to try and make me change my mind?

AHungryWalrus · 09-04-2012, 02:00 PM

How many teams in the league? 10 or less, you gotta take Arian regardless. 12 or more I will pitch you a QB argument. But 10 or less you can get Arian and Cam or Stafford, so... Gotta do that.

Yeah, it's 10. I doubt I will pick Cam though.....I don't trust him enough to warrant spending a pick in round 2/3 as opposed to grabbing Peyton or Rivers or Romo in 6/7.

Or the underappreciated Eli in the 4/5...

SuperPacker · 09-04-2012, 02:13 PM

Ryan or Cutler for me.

rocky94 · 09-04-2012, 02:28 PM

Question about a trade. I picked Shonne Greene in the 6th round and not crazy about him. I have an offer for Dez Bryant. Should I make the deal? Here is my team.

QB Stafford,RGIII
WR C.Johnson,J. Nelson,A. Brown,N. Washington,B. Quick
RB D. Sproles,S. Greene, P. Hillis, T. Gerhardt,I. Pead,R. Turbin
TE F. Davis,J. Gresham
K Bironas
DEF Texans

I wouldn't do it. It'd make your RBs too weak. You are pretty strong at WR right now. Maybe after how you see how Hillis is used.

I'd go the other way with it and offer a Greene/Brown or Greene/Nelson combo for a better #2 RB. WRs look good.
