It is done. Dropped Gordon for royal. Royal will go in for fitz or Hilton depending on reports before games.

Dammit. That was one of my premier sleeper drafts.

Oh well WR are easy to pick up. RBs not so much.

What if it doesn't?

I'm taking risks. I have to win this week. Why wouldn't you start the top ten ponit scorer after two weeks?

Every year there are guys who come out of nowhere to be a top 15 WR. I'm willing to take that risk. It happens very often. Every year.

Yup, got to ride them while they are hot. Guys like Josh Gordon are the players that sucker you in with their talent and then make you feel dumb when their qb misses them by 10 yards while they are double covered with other teams top corner draped over them. The one thing that could save Gordon is garbage time production, Carson Palmer 2012 style.

Looking back at one of my leagues I traded Steven Jackson for Lacy and Le'veon Bell. What a useless trade so far.

At 0-2 I need to ride who's hot. Hopefully my bench can carry me. I drafted huge upside.

But I need right nowside.

True. But they've got nobody to throw to and will likely be behind most of the time. He would be my WR3.

Edelman would go down when gronk is back so it's not a bad idea for me to hold onto him as well in case gronk gets hurt. It's still tom freaking brady.

I've never had such a tough decision. I'm 0-2 and a big believer in you have to take risks to be successful at fantasy. My plan was to trade edelman once gronk gets backs.

WR1 - Fitzgerald (need backup for him this week in case, right now all I have is Gordon)
WR2 - Edelman
WR3 - T.Y. Hilton

I'm weak at WR like I always am since I focus on RBs in the draft. I'm trying to balance "do what you can to win this week" vs. "set up for playoffs/depth"

In the rankings I'm looking at Hartline, Gordon, Royal are all right next to each other in the WR3 slot. Who would have the best chance of blowing up?

I wouldn't start Royal over any of those guys. Hilton can exploit a soft underbelly secondary of SF, the only concern is with his groin this week.

I'd start Royal over Hilton in PPR.
Over Edelman in standard.

1 WR and Flex of these choices? Other WR is D. Thomas. Colston is probable but most likley to be good to go.

Colston vs. ARI
James Jones vs. CIN
Bernard Pierce vs. HOU
J. Edelman vs. TB

oh yeah and David Wilson LOL. At this point all he ears is a LOL from me.

Three running backs and I can start two...but which.

Ridley NE - two straight duds for me
Mendenhall - better than Ridley but Austin for cards
Green-Ellis - no one seems high on him but still doing better than Ridley

I can also put Steve smith in the flex spot and play only one rb above and bench two. Thoughts?

I'd probably go Colton or James homes. Jones seems to be getting some big numbers recently.

Is Ray rice out? If so pierce could see a big load and lots of points.

Bush wants to play, but it looks like they've overruled him. So he's sitting out. Play Bell if ya got him. I was so hoping to play Bush, because this could be a high scoring game for the Lions. I still have Megatron in the mix though.

skins = worst rushing d in the league. Gore = stiffed in first 2 games and coaches say they're gonna focus more on the run game today.

DAMNIT
