Aromashodu @ Dallas or Mark Clayton @ Oakland PPR league

I also have the option of playing both, and sitting Ronnie Brown who's going against Minny's run d.


Also completely different league but: Favre vs Miami, Vick @ Detroit or McNabb vs Houston?

 

[NAHSTE]

I picked up Clayton and am starting him. It's clear Bradford loves going to him. He had 20 targets in week 1 and caught 11.

I'd play him and Brown.

And McNabb v. Houston, didn't Manning drop 450 in the air on them? Second choice is Vick vs. Detroit, I have a feeling he's gonna play well again.

 

[Cody]

Brady
Clayton.

So I'm thinking about the following

A.Peterson - Vs - Mia
F. Gore - Vs - NO
A.Foster - Vs - WAS


but was wondering about D.McFadden - Vs - STL since it's a good matchup and he had a decent game last week.

I just traded Joseph Addai & Michael Bush for Cadillac Williams & Sidney Rice. Good deal?

I don't think so. Cadillac is a starter and gets workhorse carries but he doesn't do much with them. And he's bound to get hurt. Like this weekend vs. Pittsburgh.

Sidney Rice is out until at least week 7 and probably won't even be 100% until week 9 or 10.

I think Addai is one of the more underrated backs. He gets carries when the Colts are ahead and he gets catches out of the backfield and a decent amount of touches otherwise.

Bush is about useless right now, though, so you don't lose much moving him.

 

[Sigona]

$10 money league auction draft. 16 teams. I left after I got my core. Ended up terrible...

QB-Peyton Manning
RB-CJ Spiller
RB-Frank Gore
WR-Johnny Knox
WR-Donald Driver
TE-Zach Miller
Q/R/W/T-Alex Smith
BN-Kenny Britt
BN-Correll Buckhalter
BN-Devin Hester
BN-Marshawn Lynch

K-Mason Crosby

DEF-Jets

For those of you who doubted this team, it's 2-0 :smug:

 

[ralaw]

I got a trade offer:

I'd trade
Peyton Manning
Johnathan Stewart

for

Joe Flacco
DeAngelo Williams
Mike Sims-Walker

I should add that if I were to make this trade Orton would be my starter at QB.

Bush is about useless right now, though, so you don't lose much moving him.

The way I see it: Joseph Addai and Cadillac Williams almost even out. I'll give a slight edge to Addai but Williams still gets his carries (this is a non-PPR league).

At the same time I gave Michael Bush who is only going to get a few touches a game with McFadden playing so well. I don't think Bush will ever produce enough to start on my fantasy team and I got a potentially #1 WR in Sidney Rice once he comes back from hip surgery. I don't care that he's out 9 weeks since I'm probably going to make the playoffs anyway. All I care about is that he produces Week 14, 15, and 16 and with the receivers Favre has at the moment I think he will be in great position to help me those weeks... I think I got the better end of this deal even though Addai > Williams but Rice > Bush

How many points for passing TDs?

Either way, I wouldn't do that trade. Peyton Manning is a sure fire stud week in and week out. He is going to win you games by himself when one of your WRs or HBs shits the bed.

Williams and Sims-Walker are both starters but they are not Manning. And I have no confidence in Orton or Flacco right now.

Personally, I only trade superstars for superstars. DeAngelo, Sims-Walker, and Flacco are all starters, but they don't look like superstars right now. Also don't like trading Stewart for DeAngelo, Stewart starts off slow and then usually gets going about midway through the season.

Why take the risk, unless you need to?

 

[ralaw]

Thanks, I was sort of leaning that way, but wanted to see what others thought. Your point about Stewart if right on. Its funny that you mention Manning carrying my team, because the only reason I'm 2-0 is because of him. Manning is like a machine.

 

[Colonel Angus]

I got a trade offer: Eli Manning for Hakeem Nicks. I'd be getting Eli.

The only reason I'm considering this is because I've got 10 total points from my QB through 2 weeks (fuckin Favre) and Hakeem Nicks is one of many good WR's I have (Jennings, Colston, and Dez). Dez hasn't done anything yet but I think he will come on eventually.

Thoughts?

 

[nflman2033]

ok so after two weeks my team is completely in the shitter.. what should i do at RB.. I have

Brandon Jackson
Jonathon Stewart
Shonn Greene
Jason Snelling(picking up this week)
Marshawn Lynch (saving for trade)
Brandon Jacobs(if there was someone else worth picking I would do it, but right now next to go on my list)

who the hell you would guys start, this hot mess at RB is only compounded by the fact that Vick is QB so Brent Celek was a huge bust pick for me, and Brandon Marshall isn't doing dick.

 

[Fappin Raptor]

I'm really forcing Hightower on people in my league. I'm trying so hard to get rid of him. Just offered this trade to a guy.

T. Hightower, H. Nicks
for
J. Addai, A. Boldin

 

[Tailback U]

Should I start Matt Forte and Johnny Knox and sit Green Bay defense and pick up Redskins vs St.Louis or Giants vs Titans.

Or

Should I start Jamaal Charles, Mike Wallace?Braylon Edwards and play Green Bay defense.

I wouldn't worry about starting Green Bay defense just because you're starting Forte and Knox. Yeah, you want Forte and Knox to go off, but Green Bay could still get a couple picks, couple sacks, and possibly a TD.

I would definitely start Forte and Green Bay D. Knox or Wallace are both nice plays. Edwards is definitely a non-play considering his playing time is completely unpredictable this week.

Thoughts?

Eli is good, and this trade is pretty fair considering your current WRs, but I would think you could get an even better QB for Nicks. Look over the teams in your league and see who has 2 QBs and start offering Nicks for 1 of them. If you can't get an offer, then go with Eli, but I'd try to get a WR in return just because a 4th WR can really help you for bye weeks.

Jesus...That is as bad of a HB stable as I have ever seen. I honestly don't know what to tell you. I think I'd go with Jackson and Stewart, though.

That's not "really forcing Hightower on people," in fact, I think you're giving him a lowball offer.

Addai > Hightower

Boldin > Nicks, or at least the very same, IMO.

People aren't stupid, everyone knows Hightower's stock is high and Beanie is due back in a couple weeks. I'd either make a play for Beanie or trade Hightower for a WR straight up for somebody that needs a HB.

I was using forcing in a way that meant I've been offering him out to many people trying to get rid of him. I guess a better word would be whoring?

And as for the bolded part, the guy I'm offering to has been known to make stupid trades/draft picks. The guy picked Turner with the 5th pick in the draft after, CJ, AP, MJD, and Rice.

That's not really a bad pick at 5, but if you think he is dumb then I would definitely low ball him and tell him to counter it if he doesn't like it.

I usually send low ball offers out at first just to initiate trade talks and get people to send counters. Nothing wrong with your offer, I was just confused because it sounded like you thought you were giving the guy a great deal.

Oh I know it's not a good deal on his part. I'm just trying to ship Hightower out while he 'looks' good with the stats he has put up over the past two weeks, same with Nicks.

The guy I've been trying to get to accept my offers for Hightower has denied them all, but he's sitting pretty at HB w/ Charles, K. Faulk, & W. Parker. (joke)

 

[AnArtofWar]

What do you guys think of Aaron Hernandez and Mercedes Lewis? Might just pick them up(I don't think I'll be able to watch games this weekend) early and use them as trade bait, I think this week they will make people think they are legit...and I have a feeling Mercedes will flop after this week. Although I'll see if my team has the space to pick them up. And what do you think about Jimmy Clausen? I was able to pick him up but I am thinking of just trading him off before I believe he looks like shit against Cincy and will continue to do shit all year, although some analyst believes he is ready.

Thanks for the input man. I was thinking the same thing. I countered with a trade for Eli and Devin Hester for Nicks and Felix Jones. Hopefully this guy overestimates his value since he put up 35 through week 2. I'm kinda worried Jones could become a starter sometime this season but I'm loaded at RB - Gore, Mendenhall, LeSean McCoy and Jahvid Best.
