I have

Stafford and Newton at QB
RB: McFadden,Jackie Battle, Murray,Matthews, and Bradshaw
WR: Roddy,Mike Williams(TB),Colston, Calvin,
TE:Gates and Fred Davis

Scoring regular.

[fenikz]

i wouldnt do it, assuming your in the playoff hunt DMC, Murray & Mathews/Bradshaw should be fine. WR is certainly weaker than that if anything i'd try to move Newton/Stafford or Gates/Davis for a WR

God damn Vincent Jackson

I concur. Move your bench depth rather than the stud starter, if possible.

Alright guys, I was offered the 49ers defense and Mark Ingram for Legaratte Blount.

Yay or Nay?

My RBs would be Steven Jackson, DeMarco Murray, Jonathan Stewart, Mark Ingram and James Starks......So it could get Iffy if Felix comes back and starts taking away carries from Murray. My receivers are Julio, Green and Maclin......Bennett and Mark Clayton, starting Julio in the flex so just 2 RBs start for me.

I'd probably still hold onto the Falcons and Cowboys defense because down the stretch the matchups would work out perfectly for me...

Week 11: 49ers vs Seattle
Week 12: Cowboys vs Miami
Week 13: 49ers vs St. Louis or Dallas vs Arizona
Week 14: 49ers vs Arizona
Week 15: Falcons vs Jaguars (playoffs)
Week 16: 49ers vs Seattle (playoffs)

I know I'm a nerd and think way to into it lol

[ImBrotherCain]

I wouldn't... I don't think carrying 3 defenses is ever the way to go. You could probably sell really high on Murray and Julio right now and upgrade your RBs or WR (Preferably WR).

So you're going to hang onto to the Falcons for one game? The 49ers get the Steelers that week, and fantasy defenses average 5.3 Points Per Game against the Steelers compared to the 5.7 the Jags average. You're going to hang onto the Falcons for that .4 point difference?

Make the trade because it's a huge steal for you (Blount is very average) and gives you a Top 5 Fantasy Defense and a RB who can score every week (when healthy) and drop the Falcons. If anything, you could even drop Dallas after their Week 13 match-up and pick-up the Falcons for that Week 15 match-up.

If you were the nerd you claim you are, you would've thought more in-depth about it like I did ;)

[FlyingElvis]

These guys are spot on. Plus, Blount has some really nice matchups down the stretch and Ingram doesn't. I'd try to package Blount & JJ for an upgrade. Murray looks like a lock to keep the job, but I wouldn't be opposed to shopping him.

[diabsoule]

Would do ya'll think about this trade:

Ryan Mathews
Kevin Walter

for

LaGarrette Blount
Marshawn Lynch

[ImBrotherCain]

Thats a tough one. You have no RB depth to speak of... I would say you have to.

Also Nelson Cruz. Do you mean Victor?

[Stash]

Beanie Wells vs PHI

or

Mendenhall vs CIN

Standard Yahoo league.

[ImBrotherCain]

Beanie... Philly has looked better over the past few weeks but CIN has one of the best run stopping defenses this season.

Also if Beanie comes back and performs close to what hes done all season he will give you points.

I'd roll the dice with Beanie. Cincy is a top 5 run D and Mendy has been awful.

No, you need Calvin. Murray, McFadden and Bradshaw will be very good.

Roddy sucks this year, as does Mike Williams and Colston is injury-prone. If you trade Calvin, you're taking a MUCH bigger risk.

[fenikz]

thinking of picking up michael jenkins incase nicks doesnt play, who would you drop, b jacobs, m ingram, j battle

or do you think nicks is going to be fine

[Raiderz4Life]

Idk who to start Big Ben or Tom Brady...leaning towards Big Ben since he plays Cinci.

[bantx]

start ben or staffy?

[ImBrotherCain]

I say Stafford

[Complex]

Start Newton or Stafford?

[fenikz]

Stafford, Newton hurt I guess, prob plays but Stewart gets the goal line carries

or do you think nicks is going to be fine

[Complex]

I would drop Ingram,Jacobs is going to start this week and maybe next week and Battle gets the majority of carries in KC. Its hard to trust a Saints RB.
