Thanks for the input Jeff. NE sounds good, but I'll also monitor Cleveland RB landmine and consider Jax instead. It gets better...Kasay is on a bye week 11 and now Lindell is out, so I need a PK too. My options...Novak SD vs DenvNugent Cinc @ BaltBarth TB @ TennScobee Jax @ CleDawson Cle vs JaxMare Carolina @ DetHauschka Seattle vs WashFeely Ariz @ SFConsidering Novak but interested in your thought...thanks again! 4ize

Jeff,
PPR
Bennet......Waldman says he should average 5-7 catches a game going forward. I'm trying to pu ford, but for this team (if) I knew a guy made those catches every week......it would be great in ppr. I just need steady production from one or two more guys and am outscoring my competition most weeks. Guessing your not wild about any bears wr's.

Hey Jeff,
For the league and team in my signature.
I am wondering if it is time to dump Vernon Davis? If so, I would probably pick up a RB. I have a low waiver priority this week, so it may not be possible but Helu and Jacobs are both still available. Is Helu a reliable start from here on out? With Bradshaw injured, should I be taking Jacobs as good insurance? Tate is out there too, but not sure I can trust him either.
I don't usually like carrying two D/ST, but I am liking how I can swap them over the next number of weeks for some pretty favorable looking matchups. Is this ill-advised?
Anything else I should be looking at addressing on my team? I know I will have to pick up a kicker for Kasey's Week 11 bye, but other than that, just trying to prep for the stretch run and playoffs. Thanks for your help!

definitely dump VD for Jacobs. I would say Helu in PPR but not in non-ppr. I also like Tate, but hard to rely on him as second fiddle to foster

Ok.....not sure about anyone else as far as a deep sleeper wr in redraft. Hoping to get ford back.

Jeff-
I posted in your thread last week about the same topic; thank you for the advice last week. An update:
My Team:
QB (start 1): C.Newton, E.Manning
RB (start 2): R.Rice, M.Forte, S.Jax, D.Murray, J.Stewart
WR (start 2): B.Marshall, S.Holmes, A.Brown
TE (start 1): V.Davis, F.Davis
FLEX (start 1): RB, WR, or TE
DEF (start 1): Matchups (currently Houston)
His Team:
QB: T.Romo
RB: A. Bradshaw, D. Thomas, J. Best, Maurice Morris, B. Tate, D.Ware
WR: Megatron, L. Fitzgerald, Julio Jones
TE: B. Celek, G. Olsen
Def: San Francisco
no PPR, 12 team redraft league, 10 yds rush/rec = 1 pt, 25 yds pass = 1 pt, all TDs = 6 pts, standard Yahoo Def scoring (including standard Yahoo points for pts allowed, no returns points)
Chain of offers last week:
Offered to me: my D.Murray & Houston for his D.Thomas & SF (I rejected)
Offered from me: my S.Jax + B.Marshall + V.Davis for his Mega + Celek + B.Tate (he rejected)
Offered from me: my D.Murray + S.Holmes + Houston for his D.Thomas + LFitz + SF (he rejected)
Offered from me: my D.Murray + S.Jax + S.Homes + Houston for his Mega + D.Thomas + B.Tate + SF (he rejected)
Offered to me: my R.Rice + S.Jax for his Mega + D.Thomas (I rejected)
First offer this week:
Offered to me: my M.Forte + S.Jax for his Mega + D.Thomas (I rejected)
What potentially acceptable counteroffer to net Mega (or LFitz) that would benefit me the most should I make? Or does this appear to be a lost cause based on his latest two offers?
Here are a few I thought of below, but feel free to ignore if you see something else that makes sense:
1. M.Forte + HOU for Mega + SF
2. M.Forte + S.Holmes + V.Davis for Mega + LFitz + G.Olsen
3. M.Forte + SJax + S.Holmes + HOU for Mega + LFitz + D.Thomas + SF
4. M.Forte + D.Murray + S.Holmes + HOU for Mega + LFitz + D.Thomas + SF
5. SJax + D.Murray + S.Holmes for Mega + D.Thomas + B.Tate
6. SJax + HOU for LFitz + SF

Hi Jeff. Need some help again.
NonPPR - Starting -> QB/RB/WR/TE/FLEX/FLEX/PK + IDPs
My Roster is:
QB -> Brees (1Y Contract) / Newton (3Y)
RB -> Rice (2Y) / McCoy (3Y) / Addai (1Y)
WR -> Wallace (2Y) / Lloyd (2Y) / Manningham (3Y) / Collie (2Y)
TE -> Graham (3Y) / Finley (1Y)
PK -> Hanson (1Y) / Carpenter (1Y)
I've got an offer on the Table:
GIVE - Brees (His Contract is expiring, but since he is RFA, i will get two 1st Rounder if i decide not to keep him)
GET - Vincent Jackson (2 Years Contract) + Matt Schaub (1Y)
Vincent Jackson is going to start for me as Flex instead of a combination of Lloyd/Manningham/Finley. But is this upgrade really worth a very good QB insurance + TWO 1st Rounders?

Jeff,
Here's a quick WDIS. Need one of these three in non PPR league.
Finley vs Minn
MoMorris @ Chi
Ogbannaya vs StL
To my surprise, in my (fairly typical) scoring system, FBGs has Obgy ranked quite a bit higher than the other two. I was ready to write him off completely after the last few weeks of garbage he provided, and was leaning toward Finley due to MoMo's matchup vs the Bears. Interested in hearing which way you'd go with this choice.
Thanks!

Jeff,
I hear Clayton is playing sunday. Is he worth a flyer(hoping can be ready in a few weeks to be decent
Hankerson?? or to early on him
Thoughts....
Also....would you offer Ingram for Andre J. ? Our trade deadline is in about a week. Doubt the guy would budge, but maybe.

12 team, .5 PPR, 6 points per passing TD, redraft league
1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 2 Flex, 1 K, 1 D
I'm looking for ways to improve my roster for a championship run. Currently I'm in 1st place so I afford to take some loses in return for a better fantasy schedule (14-16). 6 teams make the playoffs so the first and second seeds get week 14 byes.
QB: Tim Tebow, Ben Roethlisberger
WR: Mike Wallace, Larry Fitzgerald, Percy Harvin, Laurent Robinson
RB: Ray Rice, Fred Jackson, Darren Sproles, James Starks, Mark Ingram
TE: Scott Chandler, Jermaine Gresham
Kicker: Jason Hanson, Alex Henery (Fill in for Hanson this week if he sits)
D: Detroit Lions
Are there any consistent players with good fantasy schedules that you recommend targeting?

I think I would go with SJax and Marshall or Holmes for Calvin and a RB like Thomas, Best, Bradshaw ... but would accept Tate if it ended up as a dealbreaker
Jeff Tefertiller
Footballguy
I like VJax more than most but there is no way I would do this ... The WR upgrade is small compared to the QBs. Schaub is average in comparison to Brees
Jeff Tefertiller
Footballguy
since the scoring rewards TDs it is difficult for me to imagine banking on Ogbannaya scoring. I think I would go with Morris. McCoy ran ok last week against the Bears.

Ingram for AJ easily. Upgrade starters when healthyI still like Hankerson. Clayton will need a few weeks to get back up to speed

I think I would look to upgrade TE, moving Ingram (assuming redraft league) to do so. I would offer Chandler and Ingram for both NE TEs, Finley, or maybe Fred Davis (but would ask for a lesser RB back in addition to FD)

prefer hankerson to clayton until santana is back

The latest:I made 5 simultaneous offers yesterday (including the one you suggested), and the one he latched onto was
.Murray + S.Holmes + HOU for LFitz + D.Thomas + SFHe counteroffered.Murray + S.Holmes for LFitz + D.Thomas orD.Murray for LFitz Should I accept either of those trades, say take my initial offer (with the defenses) or leave it, counteroffer something else in the Murray-Fitz realm, or be done with the whole thing?

I would keep Lewis. You can drop Scott for Clayton. Not really a Collie fan for this season. The Indy offense is QB-driven

Thrilled to get Hankerson and Clayton (sort of shocked).....figure if just one of them could produce(team is already pretty darn good at 8-1)Thanks!
Thanks Jeff1. I was able to make a trade sending my back up QB Cutler (I still have Stafford) for WR Earl Bennett. So out of Brown, Washington, Nicks, Bennett and Olsen which 4 would you start this week in my PPR league?2. I also have 1 spot free on my bench. Who would you pick up between Bess and Hankerson? Or would you drop Tammy and pick up both?Thanks again.. Cheers
Jeff Tefertiller
Footballguy
Bennett, Nicks if he plays, Washington, Olsen ... Like Hankerson much more than Bess for rest of season
So Jeff you would sit Antonio Brown @ Cin? He is rated pretty high on this site? BTW the team I am facing this week in head to head has RB Bush and he is killing me as he has already over 30 pts. tonight ahhh

Since you are down big, go with brown over olsen for hopes of a big game
