Nice team.

Only advice is to watch for news about Gronk on Sunday. There's a good chance he plays, and if he is playing I would roll with him versus Bennett.

Thanks. Yeah, I REALLY wanna start Gronk, but damn if the Pats don't wait till the last minute to say if someone will play or not. Very frustrating. I understand why they do it though

I don't know if I should risk not starting Kaep for Pryor in the event Pryor doesn't get cleared to play.. baah.

Yes, and pick up Bolden. Especially since you have Ridley.

I'd be tempted to pick up Broyles as well if you had any junk players to toss into the waiver wire. Some of the other players are more tempting for PPR, like Woodhead.

Actually, I'd consider dropping Nate Washington for Broyles, but not necessarily for this week. You don't want to be carrying two Tennessee receivers, anyway, if you can help it.

Broyles might be a great pick up this week. I'd drop Ingram.

Thanks! Picked up Bolden as Flex. Keeping Ridley as starter also. Also thanks for the tip on Broyles. Trying to decide who to drop - Kendall Wright or Nate Washington. I'm getting opposite suggestions from numberfire and fantasypros. FP is favoring Wright over Washington 63 to 37, whereas NF is favoring the other way

can't give up on kaep yet, especially not in that spot

I know, which is what sucks. But he's had some terrible games against STL last year (albiet the first game was coming in for Alex when he got concussed) and no WRs to throw to. If Vernon isn't playing, I'd be tempted..

I have Wright for PPR, since he's a consistent middle-of-the-field receiver now that Britt has basically sabotaged his own career with the Titans. You can get lucky with Washington from time to time, he's really been a big pickup recommendation only because of last week. I guess there's more upside with him right now, but Wright is much safer in my opinion for those bye-week fill-ins.

I have Leonard Hankerson stashed away, too, but that's more long term.

Should I drop Mark Ingram? My team isn't all that good. Need some help deciding whether I should drop Ingram for someone else on this list. Non

Mark Ingram sucks and should be dropped in all leagues. You could pick pretty much anyone from that list and it would be an upgrade.

How's this line up look to you guys? Any tweaking advice appreciated. I'd love to throw Gronk in the mix, but he's likely to be a gametime decision for the late Sunday game, and Bennett plays at 1 :(

It boggles my mind that so many people carry backup Qbs when they really don't need to (unless you are forced to by league rules).

Anyways you are fine, if you are nervous about Reggie Bush you go slide DJax in there.

Pick 2:

Larry Fitzgerald
Anquan Boldin
Pierre Garcon
Josh Gordon
Danny Amendola

Leaning towards Boldin and Garcon right now.

Is this a PPR league?

I would say Richardson and Foster at RB. Then Bernard or Thompkins depending on scoring...for flex

Not a PPR league, standard scoring.

You'd really start Foster vs Seattle? #1 defense?

Forced to by league rules I'm afraid. I'd much rather use that slot for something else.

D Jax let me down last week, and probably won't fare too well at Denver against the Bronco's D, right?

Thoughts on B Powell at flex?

I think it's between fitz, garcon and Gordon

fitz is the best of the group, but he'll be playing against revis. tough decision.

Mike Williams is said to be 50/50 this week against the Cardinals. Should I just start Roddy White over him? I don't have any other options

Just looked at my league transactions and the best player in the league traded DeSean Jackson to a first-time player for Danny Amendola. Is this trade lopsided? Apparently there is no protest process.

That seems a little skewed. I can't get Shady's owner in my league to take any offers I've made for him, and I know I'd be laughed at if I offered only Amendola. Do the two people trading know each other?

Also, you (and everyone else in your league) doesn't get to vote on trades???

Yeah, my other TE besides Gronk is Finley who has a bye week. If Gronk doesn't play I'll just have to be without a TE this week. There's no one on waivers thats worth me dropping someone in my league.

Finally got sick of Greg Jennings and picked up Dobson to replace his ass. Screw that guy and the non-QBs throwing to him. With both of my great receivers on byes, I'm going to have to start Stephen Hill and Dobson. Scary times we live in!

I'd rather have Stephen Hill than Jennings on my roster anyway.

And hey, what about Marlon Brown? He has a good matchup, sneaky play. Davone Bess is like 1% owned and probably isn't worth crap outside of PPR, but his value could increase if the Browns trade Greg Little.

I guess not. Yeah, everyone except me knows everyone else. It's my dad's work league and I'm also playing with them. The guy who set up the league who is 3-0 and has won every game by large margins executed the trade with one of his coworkers who probably got roped into playing. I've never played in a league where trade voting wasn't the norm.
