it'd say so. Daniles was a beast last 3 games of the season looking like he is finally pasted his ACL injury. Gronk is gonna get some TDs but lose a lot of yards to Hernandez. Helu sucks.

C.J. Spiller vs. KC
Deji Karim vs. TEN
Kendall Hunter vs. SEA

Going with Chris Johnson and Hightower for sure. Jones plays a top notch D in the Jets so might go 3 WRs.

WR
Roddy White vs. CHI
Larry Fitzgerald vs. CAR
Dez Bryant vs. NYJ
Steve Johnson vs. KC
Nate Burleson vs. TB
Emmanuel Sanders vs. BAL

White & Fitz for sure. Dez plays a top notch D. So Steve or Burleson? Stafford has really been throwing to Burleson this preseason but Steve is the #1 guy.

Not the biggest BGE fan(or any NE RB for that matter) and he is a pretty significant downgrade from what Hillis did last year but generally you can pick up contributors at RB on the waivers throughout the year.

Overall I wouldn't say either side of that is a winner or loser just depends on the team

Here's my team (starters: QB QB WR WR WR RB RB W/R TE) (12 person league)

QB: Brees, Cutler
RB: CJ2K, Hillis, Ingram, Woodhead, Ben Tate, Jason Snelling
WR: Marshall, Ochocinco, Ward, Driver, Greg Little
TE: Hernandez, Gresham

Obviously, an upgrade at QB is only a luxury: I just really want Matt Ryan. My WRs and TEs are really terrible though. I was thinking of trading Hillis for Nicks, straight up. Hillis dominated last year, but I have a hard time seeing him repeat. As for Nicks, he is entering his 3rd year with an above average QB, which could possibly mean even bigger numbers than the ones he has put up. I might try to dish Marshall for an upgrade at TE too.

What do you guys think of Hillis for Nicks?

[AHungryWalrus]

I would keep Hillis. I would rather have a WR hole than a RB hole.

I'm thinking of givin up Roddy White and Felix Jones for Ray Rice and Maclin... who's with me in thinking it's a good deal?

Do it. There is no way Roddy White posts the same numbers with a healthy Douglas and JJ11: I see a drop off to 70-80 catches, 1100 yards and 10 TDs. Maclin is entering the magical 3rd year for receivers and is a more complete WR than Jackson - if MV7 is going to progress as a QB, he will look to Maclin often.

Idk, I generally start my studs and I think you have 3 with White, Fitzy, and Dez. Jets are a great defense, but I think you give players like Dez the benefit of the doubt. Also, I would trade one of my WR for RB help. White, Fitz, and Dez are nice have, but it isn't necessary to have all of them especially if it is a 2 WR league.

I think I rank the RB: Marshawn, Ingram, Spiller. Lets wait to see Spiller do something before starting him and the Saints RB situation isn't full determined plus a horrible matchup. Marshawn is gonna get the carries and the 49ers aren't good.

Start Gronk over Gresham.

IDK Revis is gonna be on Dez. So to me its Jones vs Jets run D, Burleson vs TB or Steve vs KC.

Yea had pick 2 went CJ, then White and Fitz 2&3 since all the RBs we liked were gone. R4 went F.Jones, R5 took Dez no RB was worth the pick. 6th was Hightower, 7th was Steve BPA and again no RBs were worth the pick, R8 we went with Jimmy Graham. R9 Stafford. We were going to go Starks at 8/9 but thought he could get him in R10, he went one pick before us in R10. We are hoping Gore or MJD goes down so then Karim or Hunter become decent RB2.

We might be able to trade for Starks as they guy wants a WR for him so we might trade Steve/Burleson + O.Daniles for Starks + Kendrick/Hernandez.

Thoughts on that trade? Rather give Burleson but he'd prob. want Steve. So I'd prob. not do it.

I would put Roddy and Fitz on the trading block for a RB1. Maybe somebody bites with Mcfadden or someone of that ilk. If not, Dez and Hightower could net you something decent like S Jax.

=)

[sbh15]

depending on the seasons felix and flacco have that teams looks very good for 12 teams. i think jones is a pretty safe bet in ppr, though. your wrs are awesome for ppr

[mau5]

Any opinions on my team. It would be appreciated.

10 team standard scoring league. I had 8th pick

QB-Matt Stafford

its a points only league so it may be a nice change up from other head to head leagues

Draft day is the night before the season starts!

BUMP..still looking for players..draft is on Sep. 7 at 8:30pm MDT

[scottyboy]

just got offered this deal: I get Addai and give up Ryan Fitzpatrick.

It's a QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, TE, traditional flex (RB, WR, TE) and then a super flex (QB, RB, WR, TE).

My starting roster now is:
Bradford, Britt, VJax, Colston, Raymell baby, Blount, Jonathan Stewart, Cam Newton.

I'm just not sure if Addai over Stewart/Newton/Campbell is worth it.

I've also gotten offers for Campbell. Any suggestions?

with fitzpatrick and jason campbell on the bench

[gpngc]

Finally gave in to the devil and drafted a 10-team league. 1 PPR w/ 6 passing TDs. I talked a big game about not liking McCoy but couldn't pass on him at 8th overall with his 70+ catches potential. MJD/Gore would have been better... maybe.

QB: Tony Romo
RB: LeSean McCoy
RB: Darren McFadden
WR: Vincent Jackson
WR: Kenny Britt
TE: Jermichael Finley
W/R: Tim Hightower, Reggie Bush, Mike Sims-Walker, Mike Thomas, Lance Moore, Jacoby Ford, Nate Burleson

Not thrilled with my WRs.

[redbills]

McCoy is a beast in PPR you did the right thing taking him at 8. Nice RB depth with Tim & Bush both good PPR Rbs. WRs are good, Like Thomas in PPR, Burleson has been a fav. of Stafford this preseason, Moore is a soild WR3, not sure on Sims-Walker think Danny Amendola is the guy to have in PPR in STL. Was Danny drafted? If not he is a nice WR3 in PPR and isn't drafted a lot. Ford meh, I guess someone is gonna be good in OAK and it could be him.
Who is your back-up QB and TE?

hmmm....with the super flex you really should have gotten 2 better starting QB. Personally I think Addai sucks, so I wouldn't do it in the 2 QB format. However, Addai is deservedly waaayyy higher in rankings and you would be getting the better value.

[Caddy]

Who wins this trade. Standard scoring. .5 PPR

A trades Peyton Hillis and Marques Colston

B trades MJD and Miles Austin

It's not a keeper

[redbills]

MJD is gonna go down at some point, does Colston still have knees? Hes had like 100 knee surgeries.

So Id go with B would win that one

[M.O.T.H.]

ugh. I really wish I knew what kind of role Daniel Thomas was looking at. I'll still probably start him in that flex spot this week, but I may be tempted to put Steve Smith (CAR) in there.

Dont laugh, it's a 20 man league. :)

Thomas seemed like such a good pick, before the preseason and Sparano's man crush on Reggie Bush was revealed further.

I dont care much about projections, but ESPN has Thomas with a cool 4 points this week, opposed to 10 for Smith.

[drowe]

start 'em question...

Ahmad Bradshaw @ Redskins
Shonn Green vs Cowboys

?

[Smooth Criminal]

Trying to decide on my flex starter.

RBs: Adrian Peterson, Steven Jackson, Joseph Addai, CJ Spiller
WRs: Vincent Jackson, Brandon Marshall, Mario Manningham, Santana Moss, Jacoby Ford

Now, Peterson, Jackson, and Jackson should all start, so I'm trying to pick 2 of Marshall vs NE, Manningham vs. WAS, and Addai @ Hou.

I'm leaning Marshall and Manningham right now. Thinking Addai might get a lot of touches while Manning is out.

I'd say Bradshaw. We havn't seen what kind of workload Green is gonna have, and Rob Ryan will have that defense ready to shut down the run. Redskins defense seems weaker.
