Fitz has been **** in both games thus far. I also need to rep someone some serious repage for telling me to trade for Danny Amendola WINNING!.

Or would you offer CJ for Greg Jennings straight up? Dude just posted he needs a RB, after I got offered the Larry trade.

His WRs are Andre, Jennings and Dez. I could probably get one, but no RB in return.

Honestly, yes. I don't see CJ doing **** this year. He's just a guy who got paid and is complacent.

holt_bruce81 · 09-17-2012, 01:15 AM

I think I'm just going to do Larry and Leshoure for CJ. Then my WRs would be Green, Torrey, Larry, Lafell, Titus, DHB......So I might just turn around and offer Larry to thr Michael Bush owner and see if he bites.

Xonraider · 09-17-2012, 01:44 AM

I got offered Fitz for Reggie Bush straight up.. my RBs: Foster, Murray, Dwyer, Bush, Ridley... My WRs: Antonio Brown, Justin Blackmon, Steve Smith and Dwayne Bowe. Should I accept?

Hell no I wouldn't. Reggie is a legit #1 RB. Even though you need a receiver, you can do better than Larry right now.....Just my opinion.

*sigh* I made the Blackmon mistake as well.

killxswitch · 09-17-2012, 09:21 AM

**** you Belichick. I don't know why you are being an asshole to Welker by putting in Edelman but that little ***** just took out Hernandez for 6 weeks and my team is now ****ed. So thanks for screwing me over so you can prove some stupid powertrip point.

Thanks guys, +rep for helpful answers :D

Definitely prefer LeShoure and Jackson. Morris is a sell high candidate who could easily land in Shanny's doghouse. Could he be a solid start all year . . . sure, but it's just not worth the headaches. All this assumes, of course, that the Jackson owner will still part with him.

That game was insane. Williams was on my bench in the two leagues I own him, alongside Freeman in one. My choices have been pretty lousy in one league, in particular. Still, anybody who saw that game as a 75 point shootout was lying. lol

Still looking like I'll win in that league, though. With Peterson / Dwyer / LeShoure / Hunter / Blount as my RB core I'm hoping I can move one of my WRs (Amendola / Wayne / Harvin / D.Thomas) for something useful in the RB2 area.

KC looks like a hot mess. I'd be ok with it, tbh. Not great, as it's definitely a sell low on Charles. Then again, he could be looking about as valuable as CJ by next week.

None. Hill & Young might still carry some name value. Young was a high hype / high risk / high reward guy that I didn't like and he can probably be outright dropped if you can't seel him, especially if Stafford is going to continue sucking.

Hill was an add & evaluate type of guy. I'd hold him at this point, as Sanchez is looking for him and actually throwing deep.

Marshall and Torrey had tough weeks against DSTs that can ruin a fantasy week. Hopefully Cutler shuts his douchey mouth now and stops taunting decent defensive backfields, post haste.

ImBrotherCain · 09-17-2012, 10:34 AM

It was a rough week for me.

Cutler did nothing.
Charles did nothing.
SJax did almost nothing.
Fitz did nothing.
Lloyd did mediocre scoring 6 points.
VJax blew up!
Gresh did barely anything.
D.Bailey got 1 flipping point.
Houston's D did good.
-----------------------
Shaub did better than Cutler but still not much
Ryan Williams, David Wilson and Mikel LeShoure did nothing.
Welker had a decent day on my bench

Ughh 0-2... this is not a good start to the season.

Worth a shot. Larry will be frustrating, too, but will ensure you don't ever start CJ. lol

Still don't hate that trade for you. Trent and the Browns will be inconsistent all year. Obviously McCluster will be, too, but you had absolutely zero RBs worth starting. Now you have one top-flight option and a guy who will be inconsistent.

No. Seattle's DST is that good. Though both Bryant and Lloyd have nice week 3 matchups. Probably depends on how the Falcons D looks tonight.

Speaking of Seattle DST, add them, people. The news outlets are a little slow on this team and still think they are not a starting option at DST. The news outlets are wrong, imo, and Seattle DST will finish top 10 (if not top 5.)

They are a solid start regardless of opponent. Basically, they're a DST version of Stephen Jackson. A good play that will net you solid points every time.

Yes, you should absolutely add Amendola. Blackmon is not going to be consistent enough to start, but I'd like to know what other players you have as options to drop, instead.

I'm pretty high on LeShoure and have him in a few leagues. If you're getting Britt or Jeffery it's an absolute steal, imo. I doubt you're getting Jennings / AJ / Bryant straight up, anyway. I'd do the first deal before the owner wises up, especially since I'd do Fitz & LeShoure without either WR coming back.

I agree Fitz is not the greatest value in return for Bush, right now. I'd shop Bush around but wouldn't hate adding Fitz if there's no better offers. The Cardinals showed some life and things should improve for Larry.

b316 · 09-17-2012, 11:20 AM

Is it PPR? Cause Bush is doing really well in my PPR league. See if he might take Ridley, I guess. Or yeah shop him around for something better.

saintsfan912 · 09-17-2012, 11:30 AM

Ryan Williams worth keeping over Leshoure? 1 ppr

No. LeShoure has the upside at this point. Beanie needs to get hurt for Williams to play more and LSH is getting some plays, too.

Both guys could be one of 3 RBs in a RBBC, but LeShoure is the one with the biggest advantage talent-wise. The Lions didn't even want Kevin Smith until Best & LeShoure got busted.

saintsfan912 · 09-17-2012, 12:12 PM

This is one of my teams. 10 teams, 1 ppr. Leshoure and Amendola are both FAs.

QB - Rodgers, Schaub
HB - Forte, Peterson, MJD, Mendenhall
WR - Bowe, Wayne, Maclin, Britt, Titus, Cobb
TE - Vernon Davis, Cook

Should I drop anyone for either of those FAs? Thinking about dropping Titus for Leshoure.

Drop Schaub and Cook and add both.

Rodgers bye is week 10 and Davis' bye is week 9. Neither of those backup players have any value except as bye week fill ins. Add the better prospects and make trades or wire moves when necessary for bye weeks.

saintsfan912 · 09-17-2012, 12:26 PM

Good call. Schaub hasn't thrown as much so far, didn't notice that. Better off with other QBs on the wire anyways.

ImBrotherCain · 09-17-2012, 01:28 PM

Got offered Tony G and Britt for Welker...

I am torn because I am not that high on Britt this season.

b316 · 09-17-2012, 01:44 PM

Avery or Gibson? I need FA WR depth.

Britt is a total mystery. Not many plays, returning from consecutive trips to IR and knee surgeries. There's just no telling whether or not he comes back to the "old" Britt. With that said, weren't you starting Gresham?

Take the deal before Tony goes 5/60/2 tonight on the prime time stage and you lose the chance to take it tomorrow. (Though, to be fair to what I said Saturday to someone else, don't take a deal until after the week's games so you don't get burned if Tony gets broken.)

Welker should see increased work now that Hernadez is out. But it certainly appears to be a case of "preparing for life without Welker" even though he's still around. IDK . . . BB is weird and all, but I don't see him playing a lessor WR (Edelman) and hurting the team just to make a point.

That's a pretty difficult choice. Avery a weak Oline & run game so he'll see more targets. The only problem is his status as Collie's replacement. At this point, though, I'd take the chance on Avery and assume Collie's career is over shortly after his next stint on the field.
