Cutler easily

[saintsfan912]

Is Kenny Britt startable yet or should I wait to see what he does?

[fenikz]

Somehow got CJ Spiller with the #2 waiver unf unf :D

Olgetree went #1

[cmarq83]

In the span of a week I traded Donald Brown for Frank Gore, and then Frank Gore for Trent Richardson. Seriously cannot believe that happened.

Chris Johnson
Torrey Smith
Titus Young

for

Julio Jones
CJ Spiller

Am i crazy? Will this actually work?

And it seems like he always hits on every player, while all my players bust big time.

I hear you. Except my problems have pretty consistently been hitting on players who blow up out the gate and fade away when it matters.

The days of winning b/c you're an FF addict are gone. Everyone can pick up a few cheat sheets, rankings and ADPs from the web and put together a decent team. Luck has always been a factor but it's not very easy to dominate stictly b/c we have issues. lol

If I can't steal Julio from this one guy, I might do it. Or try and get it to DHB and D. Brown

it's turned straight doug martin for wayne. hmm

Interesting. Who do you have as your WRs? QB?

Would you guys do...

Chris Johnson and Torrey Smith for Steven Jackson and Wes Welker?

As down as I am on CJ, I'm not sure I'd do this one. You'd give up all big play potential and get back a pair of consistent but unspectacular options. If your roster has a good amount of high upside guys then it's worth considering. I really have no idea what to make of Welker.

NOTE: NOT ACTUAL NEWS - in the team forum JVig speculated that the Welker news and handling is a bit reminiscent of Moss. Welker being traded would be crazy, but we know BB would do it.

Cutler. Prime time games are must starts.

Not yet. The news is 'snap count' and he hasn't been practicing much so there's a good chance he'll be rusty and have no real rapport w/Locker.

That's a nice string to land a good buy low candidate. Gotta love the irony involved in turning an 7th into a 4th and then a 2nd. To be honest, though, I like Gore better.

You are crazy. That will not actually work.

I think the value overall is good but nobody is going to part with Julio right now unless it's a blockbuster. CJs value is too low for that to work. Can't hurt to try, though.

Even if his other Receivers are Calvin, Larry and Garcon? and his RBs are Reggie Bush, CJ Spiller, Donald Brown, Mikel Leshoure.

He can afford to lose Julio. His RBs are weak, and he loves Chris. At least he did last year. He loves RBs that are names. Like, last year I got Aaron Hernandez, DeMarco Murray (he knew nothing about him, it was before his 1st start vs stl) and a 3rd tier WR from him for Peyton Hillis.

if im the 2nd team i turn it down in a second, but go for it

[holt_bruce81]

Sent, Ill let you guys know lol

I was talking about trading CJ sunday night, and we were about to do Spiller and Garcon for CJ. And he was pretty excited about that, so he just may do it.

Julio has a full blown Hype Train. Garcon doesn't even have a hype matchbox car.

[fenikz]

who you got?

[FlyingElvis]

Pretty even matchup. I'd give the edge, based on the flex play, to the team with Spiller.

I do too for the short term, but it's a dynasty PPR league, so Richardson has way more value than Gore.

[Bert Macklin]

I'm really thin at RB. Like so thin i'm ashamed to even name them. Anyway my receivers are below. Would a fair trade be Willis McGahee for Dwayne Bowe?

Andre Johnson
Stephen Hill
Dwayne Bowe
Justin Blackmon
Malcolm Floyd
Donald Jones

[fenikz]

id tried to sell high on Stephen Hill 1st

[Bert Macklin]

He already told me Bowe was the only one he wants.

Oh dear god . . . what Dyansty newb did you just rape?

McGahee / Donald Brown, sure. You'd be selling low on Bowe, though. Shop the wire darling that is Stephen Hill and see what you can get. Or shop Andre and try to get a nice combo back giving you a decent WR and decent RB. Bradshaw / Lloyd type deal.

If all else fails, add Dwyer for the week to give Bowe a chance to beef up his value.

As always - look over rosters and see who needs WR and has RB depth to trade.

[FlyingElvis]

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.)

[Bert Macklin]

So one guy literally has at RB I **** you not Foster and Ingram and MJD in the flex. And at WR... Greg Jennings and Devery Henderson...

So I'm proposing MJD and McCluster (on his bench) for Bowe and Ronnie Brown.

That fair?

[fenikz]

not in the least but if he is dumb enough

[Bert Macklin]

He has Devery Henderson starting...and Anquan Boldin on the bench, and Ingram starting and McCluster on the bench. He just might be. But we have to discuss trades as a "league" and they have to be approved which I hate.

[Bert Macklin]

So now I'm thinking Andre for MJD and McCluster. Better? Fairer?
