Any of the Detroit guys have any feel for Brian Branch (questionable) playing this Sunday? No practice on Friday. I am debating if I need to pick up a replacement tonight. So much for the Detroit insiders... :tumbleweed:

It is still early (we are only in week 6)... but I am beginning to think that Schwesinger is a solid, cerebral NFL LB. But maybe a better real life player than in IDP. And not the difference maker I had hoped for. In recent years I have learned to temper my expectations for rookie LB's (looking...

Agreed... Devin White.

I generally advocate you start your studs (Roquan). But if you can only start one, I would lean Schwesinger over Roquan ever so slightly this week. Wouldn't blame you for sticking with Roquan, but that is my lean. As good as Roquan is, I've not found him to be matchup proof. I have a similar...

On cue... hard to make tackles when there is little opportunity.

Man, needless IR speculation does zero good for anyone without solid information backing it up. Now for all we know, the Packers could still be practicing some gamesmanship here... Kraft may not play a full complement of snaps, could be a decoy, whatever. But the needless speculation of how...

Because if a team invests a 3rd round pick in a player, they aren't releasing him after his second career game. Even with a major gaffe like this one. If you ran a team that way, you'd be the worst team in the league in a hurry. The player/contract is an asset... until it is not. I can assure...

I had both Branch and James rostered last year. Big fan of both (as well as Hamilton). Traded James for Edgerrin Cooper in the offseason. Noticed some decline in James production for the first time last season. As physical as that guy plays, figure his body has a lot of miles on it for his age...

Let's hope he meant bounce back week... Otherwise :confused:

Leaning George Pickens over... Boutte, Odunze and Pittman. Boutte is tempting with the Miami matchup, but the Giants matchup for Pickens looks equally good. Need to see more from Boutte before trusting him to start. I may regret not starting Deebo on Thursday night. But felt his FBG's rankings...

I think it will be much sooner than that... As for this week, hard to predict Judkins' usage. Not sure I'm buying the 'at least a dozen carries' assertion. That feels like a Mary Kay Cabot, Browns' mouthpiece comment to give the opponent something to think about in their game plan preparation...

Agree with the above... Derwin James is a top 5 DB. If he is available, grab him. Both of the Bucs DB's (Winfield and Smith) are good options as well. Some concerns with Winfield playing deep but he typically finds a way to be productive. And Smith looks like he could be quite the find this...

I'd say the fumble on the kick return had a good bit to do with it as well... Jets win otherwise.

Fannin went for 20% FAAB ($10 of $50) in our league. By the Engram owner... ironically. He dropped Engram for Fannin. Not saying I agree with it... I like Fannin, but have to think he had someone else he could have dropped instead of Engram.

I'll go with TreVeyon to score first. Just because he is on my team... not so much because I feel confident he'll be the guy. :popcorn:
