Will Brandon Boldin do anymore this week than he did last week? I've claimed him off of waivers but not sure if he'll actually do anything. I also claimed Hartline off of waivers and dropped Lafell (Lafell has done absolutely nothing for me...).

Tate won't win anyone a game (barring injury to Foster, obviously) whereas Maclin could easily tear **** up and post 20+ to win a game for someone. The question is whether or not you take the risk that Maclin beats you in a head-to-head or you take the risk that not carrying your handcuff comes back to bite you in your arse.

You do want to embarass your new work mates, right?

Tate vs Maclin is so tough as a Foster owner. Obviously if I didn't own Foster, it's Maclin. Ugh.

But, to your last question, absolutely. I'm paired with the head of my department, so winning would be glorious.

I feel like Boldin will probably be, at best, really hit or miss for the remainder of the year.

I get:

Jason Witten
Ryan Williams

I give up:

Jimmy Graham

I also have Aaron Hernandez and NEED another starting caliber RB on my roster. My current back ups are Pierre Thomas, Tashard Choice, Isaac Redman, David Wilson with starters as Sproles and BGE. Needless to say, I need help.

Mufasa · 10-02-2012, 05:12 PM

2 from Eric Decker, Torrey Smith, Antonio Brown, and Brian Hartline

That strikes me as a pretty bad return for Graham.

What about for AP?

fenikz · 10-02-2012, 05:59 PM

I would much prefer AD to Ru and Witten but probably still selling yourself short

Should I use my #2 waiver on Brian Hartline - Non PPR

derza222 · 10-02-2012, 06:09 PM

Standard league, 14 teams, standard scoring. We start QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, K, D/ST. Right now I have:

QB: RGIII, Palmer
RB: DMC, Sproles, McGahee, Morris, Powell
WR: Julio, Nicks, Stevie, Kendall Wright, Binns
TE: Marty B

With Nicks hurt my WR group is thin, so I was looking to move one of my RB's for a WR while he's out and possibly a TE upgrade. Buddy of mine just offered me Graham and Maclin for DMC and Marty B. Do I take it? Kind of a sell low on McFadden, but I think I have enough RB depth to make it through the year, Maclin would be a nice third starting WR while Nicks has injury issues, and Graham is a huge upgrade (especially from a consistency perspective) at TE. Plus McFadden's struggles with the new scheme and the Raiders not running a ton kind of have me concerned anyway.

scottyboy · 10-02-2012, 06:17 PM

i need a RB this week, do I give up Rudolph, who won't see time, for Jacquizz? .5 ppr

Bert Macklin · 10-02-2012, 06:38 PM

Bennett or Greshem? Can I count on Bennett laying another egg?

SubNoize · 10-02-2012, 06:47 PM

should i trade shady mccoy for trent richardson and eric decker?

I like Hartline, but with that team idk. You're loaded and will pretty much never start Hartline. You may want to keep the waiver priority and screw over someone closer to playoff time.

Value wise I'm okay with that. I don't really see as big of a need for you at TE as you think though. Martellus should be fine, especially in a 14 teamer.

I have no idea what the rest of your roset looks like, so I can't comment. Rudolph will be alright, but who is your #1 TE? If he's good, just cut Rudolph bc who gives a ****? You probably shouldn't have more than 1 TE anyway.

I say Bennett. I'm not really worried at all to be honest.

Scoring? Current roster? It's tough to give trade advice when you have no background whatsoever. In general though, I feel like Shady could get you more especially when you factor in the depth at WR this year....it's not like Decker is exceptional.

With the way the iggles are playing I'd be tempted

I mean you have Vick vulturing TD's from McCoy too.

its standard scoring and Mccoy is the only RB i have really. i have Tate and Pierre Thomas as my only other RBs. WRs are Harvin, Boldin and now Andre Roberts.

Well, if its a standard 10 or 12 teamer, I'm guessing you are loaded at WR then? If so, you will want to try to get a 2:1 from someone with a good stable of RB. Tate/PT at RB2 is awful.

niel89 · 10-02-2012, 07:00 PM

With Jennings down and DHB out also I'm trying to find a 3rd WR for a week or two? Its a 10 team league starting 3 WR so there aren't many WRs left. Here are the top options that are available:

Jeremy Kerley (NYJ - WR)
Andrew Hawkins (Cin - WR)
Donald Jones (Buf - WR)
Cecil Shorts (Jac - WR)
Brandon Gibson (StL - WR)
Nate Burleson (Det - WR)
Golden Tate (Sea - WR)
Stephen Hill (NYJ - WR)
Brandon LaFell (Car - WR)
Donnie Avery (Ind - WR)
Davone Bess (Mia - WR)
Leonard Hankerson (Was - WR)
Jacoby Jones (Bal - WR)

Some garbage players below that also. I might take Jacoby Jones because I like the Ravens. I also think Hill might be a decent option if he is healthy with Holmes out for the count. Thoughts?

yeah it's not my team, I'm asking for my buddy who is last in my league. He's doing terrible and I don't want to trade any of my RBs (Gore, Charles, Morris, Forte) so I'm trying to help him swing a good trade off of somebody else.

scottyboy · 10-02-2012, 07:28 PM

i'm got graham and gronk and leshoure and martin have the same bye and I need one

Yeah I agree, I think the value is definitely solid. Bennett isn't bad, but I'm thinking he's going to regress over the course of the season whereas Graham is solid on a week to week basis and an elite TE. If McFadden's going to give me middling production anyway and it gets me another WR I'm happy with it. May try to get Steve Smith instead of Maclin though.

Bert Macklin · 10-02-2012, 08:01 PM

If I get Hixon in both my league do I start him over Hartline?

Malaka · 10-02-2012, 08:26 PM

Should I do Fred Jackson for DeMarco Murray?

I receive Murray.

I say No. Murray is not consistent and it looks like Fred is going to get most of the reps.
