Denarius Moore vs JAX [$6000]
Aaron Hernandez vs NYJ [$5800]
Garret Hartley @ TB [$5000]
Vikings Defense vs ARZ [$5000]

this is my team right now... salary cap is set at $60,000 and $5k is the minimum salary for kickers and defenses. the only position I'm iffy on is TE but if Hernandez's health keeps improving then he's probably a steal at that price.

My thought process here is that you are paying way to much for Rodgers at 1/6th your total cap. While he is a stud I don't think overpaying for what he has done so far is a smart thing and your team is suffering for it.

So depending on how much other QBs cost you can always look at other people like RGIII, Dalton hell even Fitzpatrick and Romo have great match ups this week. Doing that might free up enough cash to upgrade Moore to a guy who should get you more points. Vincent Jackson should be in store for a big game.

Felix Jones while a potential steal for the upcoming week is not a long term option and at that point you have to rework your team seeing as you probably won't find comparable production for that price.

Again this is just my thoughts and considering that you are only playing week to week it might be worth while to keep what you have but if its anything like my league players prices change week to week and if thats the case you could be in trouble long term.

Hopefully that helps man.

I would say F-Jax and Spiller.

Grizzlegom · 10-16-2012, 12:25 PM

I need a one week play at RB in a PPR league. I'm gonna put in a claim for Felix Jones but seeing as I'm 3rd on the waiver wire, I'm not guaranteed to get him. Who would you pick from these guys in the scenario I don't get Felix:

LSH @Min
Woodhead vs. Jets
Daryl Richardson vs. GB
Blount vs. NO

I like D-Rich the most, he has been eating away at Jackson's carries. Blount might be in line for a goal line TD though. But those guys are at my top.

LSH is wayyyy at the bottom I'd take Powell over him if he is still available.

hey, they say people lose when they draft based on bye weeks. Obviously you can't be perfect in fantasy football...

RufusMcDaniel · 10-16-2012, 06:22 PM

Got offered three trades from the same guy in the past hour.

First, I give up Andrew Luck and Marques Colston for Reggie Bush and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Next one, I give Vernon Davis for Randall Cobb and Martellus Bennett.

Then last, we have a megatrade. Luck, Colston, Josh Freeman, and Davis for Bush, Fitzpatrick, Cobb and Bennett.

I just don't know which one to accept, they all seem soooo beneficial for my team.

Here's my team

QB: Peyton, Luck, Freeman, Tannehill
RB: Foster, Charles, Sproles, Ballard
WR: Fitz, Colston, Mike Williams, DHB, Donald Jones
TE: Rudolph, Davis
Arizona D and Shayne Graham.

I'd go with Wright & Spiller, he looked like the much better back vs Arizona

Are you flippin serious??? F this. I'm last place 1-5 yet I'm the highest scoring team in the league and would be undefeated if each week I just got 1 more point out of someone. This sucks hard.

Wow. That some serious suck right there.

News on Lance Moore?

I'd rather have Hawkins than any of those WRs. Drop LSH to add Gordon or Cobb.

Yes. Carolina is not very good vs. the run.

Depends who you'd drop for Williams. Spiller/Williams or Spiller/Jackson. I'd hate rolling both Buffalo RBs, though.

Blount. That's too good a matchup to pass.

I'm not sure why the QB has to be in the deal. The RB/WR swap straight up seems even to me. But with Luck on you roster it doesn't matter much, either way. I expect McFadden to improve, despite some crappy Oline play. 27 touches is a ton and hard to ignore.

More info? I'm not sure why any of them would be "soooo beneficial" or why you'd be carrying 4 QBs.

If all of those TEs are on the wire there's no reason to burn the #1 on Rudolph. Get Felix and shop him or another RB plus a WR for a top RB. Dropping Tate during bye week time is fine, especially since you don't have Foster. Though it's not a bad idea to make sure the Foster owner can't immediately snap him up. Maybe target Foster. McFadden/Felix plus WR (maybe even both RBs) or whatever might work based on the Foster owner's roster. One way or the other, you have lots of capital - cash in on an elite, top 5 RB if you can.

Well, I really don't like any of the trades, the soooo beneficial was sarcasm.

As for 4 QBs, we are required to start 2 each week. Both Tannehill and Peyton are on byes this week. I'm hoping that maybe I can work a trade out with one of them in the future.

Yeah, I adjusted my lineup to this... I don't keep any player from week to week, I get to pick an entirely new team. ended up with Fitzpatrick here and I'm stacking the Bills side of this BUF/TEN game between the two worst scoring defenses in the league.

QB Ryan Fitzpatrick TEN@BUF $7,100
RB Adrian Peterson ARI@MIN $7,900
RB C.J. Spiller TEN@BUF $7,400
WR A.J. Green PIT@CIN $8,500
WR Marques Colston NO@TB $7,100
WR Dez Bryant DAL@CAR $6,700
TE Scott Chandler TEN@BUF $5,100
K Sebastian Janikowski JAC@OAK $5,200
D Minnesota Vikings ARI@MIN $5,000

Mufasa · 10-16-2012, 10:20 PM

I have Peyton on a bye. Do I start Dalton vs Pittsburgh or try to drop him for Hasselbeck vs Buffalo?

Also, great problem to have, but who should sit out of Foster, Peterson, Richardson, and Spiller?

Stash · 10-16-2012, 10:24 PM

Dez Bryant @ CAR

or

James Jones @ STL

Standard Yahoo league.

yo123 · 10-16-2012, 10:28 PM

Dez. Worse defense and more targets.

holt_bruce81 · 10-16-2012, 10:51 PM

Should I try and trade Torrey Smith? the last two weeks his catches have gone down, and he hasn't seen many targets. Would like to get a WR or RB who has already gone through a bye week to replace Torrey as my Flex player.

I would try and move him, but wait for him to a have a big game first, it will happen at some point!
