Lamar miller, j bell or David Wilson for my flex.... In a ppr. Bell has been getting a few catches his way. Miller seems to get more snaps. Wilson... I haven't watched the game but giants are horrible.

Miller. Wilson will probably get a lot more touches this week but that o-line is like a revolving turnstile so who the hell knows. Eagles' D is projected to have a better than average week so I wouldn't roll that die. J Bell is on hold until Bush gets hurt again.

Eagles D is projected that way, not because they are good, but because they are playing the Giants. Hopefully things are starting to change for Wilson but I wouldn't play him until things do change. Giants have a very easy run schedule the rest of the way, so there is still hope. Surely they need to change something and start running the ball, but it hasn't happened yet and won't happen if they keep falling behind quickly

I'd play lamar miller out of the group, the dude can play. But again, another team stubbornly set on playing an inferior guy, daniel thomas.

Am I crazy for considering to cut Kaepernick? My other QB is Luck, but I do not like his matchup this week against Seattle. I could get Bradford against Jacksonville, or Cutler against NO.

I am probably going to get it raw this weekend anyway. Going up against a team with Rivers, McCoy, Lynch, and D Thomas without Peterson.

Also considering proposing a trade, Luck for Brady.

no one with a brain would trade brady for luck, but try it.

can't cut kaep yet, do you have anyone else to drop, bradford against jax is a great matchup, though I'm still not sure you can start him over the other two guys.

I think he is frustrated with Brady. He started Dalton over him last week. I proposed Luck + Bennett for Brady + V Davis. My TE1 is Graham, so I'm not too worried over giving up Bennett.

So one of the new girls in our league dropped Steven Jackson last night before the waiver wire went through. She's the same one who dropped Olsen prior to the wire the other week. We're not sure wtf she's thinking. We've told her (me and my gf) that she doesn't have to do that, but we've decided to not help her anymore if that's what she's gonna keep doing. Her husband plays, it's his first year too, and he picked up the whole concept of FFB fairly quickly. He can educate her from here on out.

So I looked over the league's rosters again, and think I found a trade that works better for both teams, and has a better chance at happening. Luck + Amendola for Stafford. He has Drew Brees as his starter, but is pretty thin at WR. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that other guy was probably not going to give up Brady.

EDIT: Amendola at WR is just the first offer. I could replace him with a higher ranked WR, such as Boldin or Josh Gordon if declined. The guy has 2 studs at WR (Welker and Julio Jones), but not much else.

Okay, really need some help here...kinda torn on what to do.

I'll have Moreno tonight after my trade clears, so my RB's are:

Gore
Murray
Bush
Moreno

I can claim Steven Jackson off waivers tonight, and there's a pretty good chance I'll get him.

Question: Is Jackson worth grabbing? I know there's a lot of hype around him, but is it warranted? Atlanta has other "decent" RB's, so do you think Jackson still gets most of the work? And who would you drop for him? I'm thinking Moreno.

Screw Kaepernick, I picked up Bradford and am starting him. Bradford has scored 20%+ more points already and Kaep is facing a defense that shut down Russel Wilson for 3 quarters. Bradford is going to dominate Jax. Especially after Jax just gave away their above average and arguably franchise Left Tackle Eugene Monroe.

Monroe, if he can find his form from 2011 and 2012, would represent a substantial upgrade over McKinnie. Pro Football Focus graded Monroe as the NFL's 10th-best left tackle in 2012 and 15th best tackle overall. He was beaten for just five sacks and allowed 34 pressures overall. McKinnie was on pace to allow 52 pressures overall this season.

But just as important, at least considering how the first four games have gone for the Ravens rushing offense, Monroe is a willing and capable run blocker. He has received positive run blocking grades from Pro Football Focus in his previous four seasons while helping to pave the way for Pro Bowl running back Maurice Jones-Drew.

McKinnie has not been a consistent performer in the running game during his three seasons with the Ravens, usually doing just enough to get in the way. He is by no means the sole reason that the Ravens are averaging just 2.6 yards per carry this season, but only Oher has been graded worse as a run blocker by Pro Football Focus.

Monroe has not gotten off to a good start this season, but then again, he was playing for what might be the least talented team in the NFL, one that has been outscored by 98 points in four games. He allowed one sack and 15 total pressures. Maybe a change of scenery -- and a change of quarterbacks -- will get him back on track.

Monroe should thrive in B.More, Jax is a black hole of misery. That's good news for Ray Rice owners and shitty news for MJD owners.

Per PFF: Jacksonville Jaguars: Part of Maurice Jones-Drew’s slow start to the year is his offensive line. He has an average of 0.88 yards before contact per carry which is the third-lowest in the league.

MJD owners sell now while you still can.

That's a tough call. Moreno will be extensively used in tough games for Denver (and will put up good numbers), but the problem is that their schedule is so freaking easy until week 11, and they will most likely be undefeated and willing to give Montee Ball/Hillman more playing time as a result. Weeks 11-14 will be their tough test with KC twice, New England, and Tennessee. Before week 11, really the only challenge will be this week @Dallas and then @Indy in week 7. So you'll lose production in week 6, 8, 9 (bye), and 10 which will most likely be tryouts for Hillman/Ball assuming blowouts and then get production back 11-14. Also consider that Hillman/Ball could be given the nod if they perform amazingly in crunch time, but most like not since Moreno crushes them in pass protection on Peyton's blind side (and Moreno doesn't fumble!).

Jackson won't be back until week 8 or 9, and weeks 8-11 are tough run defenses but he's still starting over Moreno regardless.

Bottom line is that you'd lose two good productive weeks from Moreno (5,7) before Jackson's full return in week 8 or 9, if you can cover that with your other running backs then go for it.

BTW how many people are in your freaking league that you have 4 stud starting RB's? wtf

Speaking of S Jackson, what do you guys think of a joique bell + mcgahee for sjax? Am I giving away too much? I won't get sjax til week 8 and if reggie bush goes down, he gets the better end of the deal. However, I have way more upside for final 6 weeks of our season in sjax and I bet his owner is getting sick of saving him a spot. 12 team league btw so RB's are very scarce, especially RB1's like sjax.

I'm thinking the same thing with bell for sjax but I'll be throwing in David Wilson. I hope both to have a strong week so I can trade easier.

It's an 8 team league, haha. I actually bucked the trend at draft and went after RB's in later rounds. EVERYONE at our draft was saying, "Derp a derp, it's the year of the RB". And even though this is only my second year, I said to myself, "That's what they said about Quarterbacks last year, and that turned out to be B.S.."

Anywho, I had to trade for Bush, and Moreno, but I drafted Gore and Murray in the 6th and 8th rounds respectively. I lost Andre Brown, and dropped MJD like a bad habit last week.

I placed 2nd in our league last year when it was a 16 team league, and to be perfectly honest with you, I liked the 16 team format better. It was more competitive.

Next year, the gf and I are gonna start our own 2 team league, so we can build monster teams and talk extra shit to one another!

Sounds like you answered your own question there. If you're thinking long term, go Jackson

Which D to start this week?

Buffalo (vs. Cleveland)
Carolina (vs. Arizona)

Both these teams seems to have scored the bulk of their points last week so I could actually pick up some other team also.

Yeah Matthews kind of sucks but he at least consistently gives some points.

The problem with Joique bell is that Bush is in so that will take a lot from him but maybe not.. cause he had a hell of a week once when Bush was out there. bah

I'll most likely stick with RM and Lacy since JB is to much of a risk.

Carolina all the way. Plus Carolina has a juicy matchup vs TB (week 7) so you could potentially keep them even in week 6 vs Minnesota if you wanted. Buffalo vs Cleveland, I'm taking Cleveland all the way FYI. With CJ Spiller who may not play and F.Jackson hurting, Cleveland should dominate dominate dominate.

The fumbles for bell are worrisome. I still like him but there's no faster way to get benched than to keep fumbling.
