Hi Jeff, Got a trade offer and would appreciate your thoughts. Offer is his Moreno, Crabtree, Washington for my Best and Morris.I have lots of “middling” RBs, need WRs, and he’s kind of the opposite, lots of WRs and needs RBs Thoughts? Thanks Jeff!This is a 12-team PPR redraft league. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 WR/RB/TE Flex, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. 20 player roster. Pass TDs = 4 pts, all others 6. 1 for 10 yards rushing or receiving, 25 yards passing.My Team: QB: Romo, Dalton, RB: MJD, Tolbert, McGahee, Best, Morris, Jacquiz, Felix, Delone, Marcel Reece, Kevin Smith WR: Roddy, Pettis, Damian Williams, Lance Moore TE: Pettigrew, Watson DEF: Ravens K: KasayHis Team: QB: Rivers, FitzpatrickRB: McCoy, McFadden, Moreno WR: AJ Green, Julio Jones, Crabtree, Nate Washington, Torrey Smith, David Nelson, Decker, Malcom Floyd, Jon Baldwin, SantanaTE: Gresham, Cook DEF: Texans, Pats, K: Akers

I would only do it if you can get Santana and Decker instead of washington and crabtree ... and moreno is worthless even if willis got hurt

Thanks Jeff. Yes, I too like Decker now, Moss whenever he returns, and have no use for Moreno. I’d hate to give up both Best and Morris for Decker and Moss though…1. Does a counter of his Decker and Moss for Best OR Morris and one of Carter, Reece, or Smith sound about right?I just received an offer from a different owner - his Mario Manningham for one of my RBs. His RBs are Helu, LT, M Bush, Hunter, Addai, Ridley, and Ware, so he's got some need at RB. His WRs are Jennings, S Johnson, Mario, and Andre, along with Braylon, Roy Williams, K Walter, and H Ward. I asked about including Andre, assuming he'll be back week 12, but he said he's prefers to keep him. So Mario may be the best I can do here. I'd prefer to keep MJD, McGahee, and Tolbert (with Mathews' inability to stay healthy). Best and Felix seem to be eternally broken, MoMo is ok, but just barely (I grabbed Kevin Smith just in case), Delone fumbles, and M Reece is a distant third when DMC returns. So I guess my offer ought to be Best or Jones, with MoMo in there if he wants production now rather than waiting til those two return. 2. What do you think about his Manningham for my Best OR Morris?3. Ideally he'd trade me Steve Johnson and Manningham for my Best and Morris, or maybe Best and Jones…maybe? Do you like going this way?4. For overall WR "desirability", do you agree with S Johnson, Manningham, Decker, and then Moss?Thanks again Jeff.

 

[RAZRr1275]

What do you think about this?

10 team - No PPR - Return yards count

At rb2 do you think I should go helu or brandon jacobs?

Also at wr (pick 2 since nicks and julio jones may be out) - josh Cribbs, jonathan Baldwin, or Santonio Holmes?

If possible rank the wrs in order so that in the scenario that only one is out I'll put one at flex.

I like getting decker and moss and worry best is lost for the year, giving both is not a concern for me since momo is rarely startable

2. What do you think about his Manningham for my Best OR Morris? Dont really like MM now that he is nicked up and Nicks is back

3. Ideally he'd trade me Steve Johnson and Manningham for my Best and Morris, or maybe Best and Jones…maybe? Do you like going this way? I would definitely give MoMo for Stevie ... like Johnson a lot - best deal of the group

4. For overall WR "desirability", do you agree with S Johnson, Manningham, Decker, and then Moss? would move Manningham to last of the group.

Thanks again Jeff.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

What do you think about this?

10 team - No PPR - Return yards count

At rb2 do you think I should go helu or brandon jacobs? Jacobs with Bradshaw out unless you expect Helu to suddenly become a big returner

Also at wr (pick 2 since nicks and julio jones may be out) - josh Cribbs, jonathan Baldwin, or Santonio Holmes? Julio is playing. Would start Holmes at other spot. Jones, Holmes, Cribbs, Baldwin ... assuming Nicks is out or limited and Jones plays as expected

If possible rank the wrs in order so that in the scenario that only one is out I'll put one at flex.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

heading to bed. good luck everyone. be back on monday

 

[Rodeojones]

Jeff,

Looking for your overall thoughts on Demarco Murray in ppr dynasty. I noticed your dynasty rankings has him #20 as of 11/11 behind guys like Shonn Greene and Kendall Hunter.

Do you think he is a sell high or hold? Due to his current production, I have several owners trying to acquire him and I am struggling to gauge his value.

Thanks for your time.

 

[letnry]

Hey Jeff,

This is for the league and team in my signature.

I received an offer today of Steven Jackson and Rob Gronkowski for my Ray Rice. Fred Davis has been disappointing the last few weeks, as has WAS as a whole. Gronkowski is great, its just you never know when he'll go off. Ray Rice has been the MVP of my team so far though and my RB depth isn't that great in case SJackson comes up gimpy again.

Thoughts? He has told me he is open to other ideas, but is trying to upgrade his RB position. Is that a trade for taking or should I look to counter with something a little better, or not pursue it at all?

Here is the rest of his team:

QB: Brees

WR: Welker, Nicks, JJones, Burress, SRice, JBaldwin

RB: CJohnson, SJackson, BJGE, Ringer

TE: Gates, Gronkowski

K: Mason

D/ST: 49ers

And just for reference, some of the top TEs and RBs available right now are:

VDavis, HMiller, Chandler, Winslow, Watson, Celek, Scheffler.

Tate, Tomlinson, Hunter, DThomas, Carter, Helu.

Thanks for the help!

 

[bighead2000]

Jeff,Do you see Hillis playing again this year?Would you offer Ingram for Garcon or Burress?Thanks

Looks like I made the deal for Garcon....hopefully still good ???, and helps my wr core. Want be final for a few days, and now Hankerson out and he looked to have potential Also does Schaub going out hurt Foster much going forward

 

[Imagine]

Hi Jeff,

I have Celek (9, 9, & 7 targets in last three games for 18-207-1) in NON-PPR. With Philly struggling, it’s likely they’ll continue to toss the ball, although I’m not sure how Vick’s ribs or Vince Young will impact Celek’s numbers.

Is Dickson (9, 5, & 14! for 18-133-2) an upgrade, or after losing using that pass-first mentality against Seattle, will Baltimore go back to running the ball?

Or do Tamme (0, 7, & 8 for 8-81-0) or Pitta (8, 8, & 7 for 15-139-0) offer any better upside?

As I put this together for you, it kinda becomes clear that based on the numbers, Celek is the best option. So even though I didn’t have Celek for all those weeks, and even though Young will likely be throwing the ball in Philly, he looks like the best of the lot. Agree?

Thanks Jeff.

 

[bighead2000]

Jeff,

What do you see me needing to do going forward?

Foster out this week along with Wallace.(Can't really replace very easily)

Tamme on wire....can play in flex position

Others are: Woodhead,Scott,Jones,Ward thinking to bu Foster down the stretch? Ball(Johnson), Smith?

Getting Garcon....but lost Hankerson...... s. smith,Douglas,A. Hawkins, cotch.....

Not sure what top priority should be.

Living in OK, I saw lots of Murray and Hunter in college ... and like Hunter more. But that is more of a long-term view. Murray is looking great but I worry about his durability. I think I sell if I can use him and something else to get an elite RB/WR. At this point, his value is too high to sell for any other player than an elite one.

Since you are giving the best player in the deal (Rice), I would also try to get BJGE, too, and you throw in Battle, or another scrub. I would love the deal for you if you can get that.

I like it for you even though Garcon has not been great the past few weeks. I do not think Foster will be hurt much with Schaub out ... AJ will be back in week 12 hopefully.

I think you hold Celek for a week. Dickson has not done much this season and Tamme is off this week. In TENN, Young targeted Scaife often so you can hope he still throws to Celek. Also, the Maclin injury might help Celek get more targets

Hey Jeff,In a standard-scoring non PPR league, I start three WRs and 2 RBs with one flex.I was offered this trade:Receive Beanie Wells and Andre JohnsonGive DeMarco Murray and Percy HarvinThe rest of my WRs: Miles, VJax, Sidney Rice, Manningham, MooreMy RBs: Mathews, Ray Rice, L. McCoy, HeluIf it makes a difference, I can swap Wells out for Benson.Thanks in advance.

In a non-PPR, I would side with the better RB - Murray - especially with Felix Jones still out

you don't think i should try to trade one of my rbs for a true WR1? or am i fine at WR

When healthy Austin and VJax are top 10 wrs (big when healthy). I was assuming Manningham or Moore would be startable as well. Your RBs are great and will help many weeks. I alwasy think WRs are easy to find in non-PPR

Hello,

I'm in a 14-team, standard scoring non-PPR, with passing TD's worth 4.... Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, D/ST, K. Lineup is below. Trade deadline is a comin and I am preparing for stretch run.

I like my team, maybe too much, I need an independent pair of eyes to assess areas of improvement/redundancy.

Given a number of season ending injuries, a dramatic weakness throughout season is RB, that I have tried to assess through WW and trades

The question is who is viable trade bait and what area would you target for stretch and playoff run.

Thanks in advance for the input.

Current Roster

QB: Romo(tasty schedule)

RB: D. murray(Felix Jones effect?), F Jones(injured, & ? of role on return) B. Tate(has been very effective last several weeks but Leinart effect?), Starks(great schedule but GB doesn't run with consistency, got him cheap for N. Washington), Battle(Doing just enough but uggh)

WR: Fitz, AJ Green(tough schedule down stretch), Roddy white(simply underperforming), Damien Williams (intriguing WW pick up 2 weeks ago...haven't had the balls to start yet)

TE: Gronk

D/ST: Green bay and Cinci

K: Kasay(on bye), Gostkowski(for week 11)

 

[oscarz]

Hey Jeff

I am in a standard PPR league.

1. Going forward with this week 11 included who would be a good upside addition to my team off of waivers from the below players:

1. Donald Jones (Buff)

2. Davone Bess (Mia)

3. Mark Clayton (Stl)

2. Also would you hold onto RB D. Williams (Carolina) or drop him and try and get Kendall Hunter off of waivers?

Thanks.....

 

[bighead2000]

Jeff,

Would you prefer Cam or Tbow the rest of the year?

HIllis,Best,Wells,Bradshaw....remainder of season?

Thanks

 

[Foureyes]

Jeff,

I could use a quick reply tonight, as I have to put in a claim for a team defense before 9AM tomorrow. We get 6 pts for defensive or special teams TD, 6 pts for shutout, 1 pt for int, fumble recovery or sack, and 2 pts for safety.

Am trying to decide between New England vs KC, and Dallas @ Washington. Whichever one I pick up, I'll probably keep them as my defense for the rest of the year. Thanks for help!

4ize

 

[Foureyes]

Another question...

Decimated by injuries to Best, Hillis, McFadden and SMoss. Have a short bench because the first three are still on my roster. Need to start four from among these, no PPR:

RBush vs Buff

SSmith @ Det

Ogbannaya vs Jax

Bowe @ NE

MoMo vs Car

Finley vs TB

or I could pick up Denarius Moore (@ Minn) as one of my starters.

Could you tell me whether or not you would drop somebody for DMoore and start him, and also which 4 you would start if I can't get Moore? Thanks again Jeff...

In a non-PPR, you are reliant on your RBs for success. I think you have to roll with Murray and play Tate in games the Texans should dominate. I would look to pick up Lance Ball with the Bronco RB injuries. I think I would look to trade Roddy, if possible, for RB help. You can play the waiver wire for WRs. Some people still like his big name

Would try to hit the home run with Hunter versus the bunt singles with DWill. At WR, Jones of that group. Who is available from WASH? I ask that with Moss and Hankerson hurt.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Jeff,Would you prefer Cam or Tbow the rest of the year?HIllis,Best,Wells,Bradshaw....remainder of season?Thanks

CAM just because of his offenseWells only because he is only healthy one of four. Each of the other three could go on IR soon

Hi Jeff, Any suggestion on WW RBs to play this week? NON-PPR.

Out of my RBs (Mendenhall, McGahee, Tolbert, Morris, Ingram, Kevin Smith), it looks like I’m down to Tolbert and Morris. Whew!

What about Lance Ball or Jeremiah Johnson from Denver this week? Any upside over my two guys? Looks like McGahee is out...

Dexter McCluster is out there, as is Joe McKnight.

Whatcha think? Go with Tolbert and Morris and hold my breath?

Hey Jeff, playoffs right around the corner. Up 2 games at 8-2 but I do not have the tie breakers with the 2nd/3rd places tied at 6-4. Won 5 straight so don't want to rock the boat but at the same time, playoffs will be tough, some very very good teams putting up a lot more points than I do. I have been lucky with the schedule. I am currently 4th in points. If I get knocked below 2nd place I could loss the wildcard spot

my team:

Team 1: Drafted 6th 1QB 2RB 2WR 1flex 1TE 1PK 1DEF

QB: Roethlisberger(bye), FitzPatrick;

RB: McCoy, Ray Rice, Ricky Williams, Kevin Smith, Dion Lewis;

WR: Holmes, Harvin, Julio Jones(inj), Vince Brown, Antonio Brown(bye);

TE: Graham(bye), A Hernandez; PK: Nugent; TD: Bengals,Patriots

I'm thinking about offering Ray Rice for Foster. I dont like what Baltimore has done the last 2 weeks. Foster has been huge but on a bye and now Leinart is the QB. I am taking a lot of potential points off of the board this week and I need to mention our leagues 3rd playoff spot is a wildcard award to the team with the most points after the top 2 team are seeded by record.

I dont think I can get Tate so if Foster goes down i lose. where I have Ricky Williams if Rice goes down. And this is non-ppr.

Worth the risk? I dont think I make this offer for ant RB besides Foster.

 

[oconsirl]

Hi Jeff-

12 Team Auction Keeper League

PPR, .5 PPC, 4 pass td, 6 others

Have Vick and Tebow. Looks like Vick isn't going to go and even if he did I'd hate to start him and see him get re-injured. At the same time, its a huge game for them and a big one against the Giants so he could man up and go off.

With the Thursday start I need to make an early decision. Tebow has a tough matchup as well. I'd like to keep him around for whatever reason and he is a cheap keeper option. Do I start him to be safe or wait till Sunday and drop him for one of the following if still available:

Skelton, Moore, Palmer, TJackson, Palmer, Smith, Ponder, Gabbert, Palko.

What do you think?

Thanks!

PS: I'm 9-1, division essentially locked up, other option is to eat it if I have to as it won't hurt too much. I'd still be sitting pretty for a bye with a loss. I might ende up losing anyhow with Foster, Wallace and both tight ends (Graham and Daniels) on bye. Thoughts?

 

[bighead2000]

Jeff, PPR....in sig.

Do you see me picking up any of these:

Powell,K.Smith, J.Johnson(denver

Trying to figure who to start this week for Wallace and Foster.

Picked up D. jones......was one thought.......already have little,Williams in....but need one more WR

Can play a rb or wr in flex position

Want be terrible if I lost .....but love Winning.

Thanks

 

[bighead2000]

Another league Standard scoring

Holmes or D. Nelson?

Thanks

WR2 - Santonio Holmes, Julio Jones, Earl Bennett, Mario Manningham

QB - Tim Tebow, Matt Ryan, Carson Palmer, Alex Smith

Flex - Santonio, Julio, Earl, Mario or Lance Ball

If possible can you guys rank them? I don't know which ones of some of these will be on my team since it's pending the results of waivers tomorrow.

Non PPR, 10 team league

Hello,I'm in a 14-team, standard scoring non-PPR, with passing TD's worth 4.... Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, D/ST, K. Lineup is below. Trade deadline is a comin and I am preparing for stretch run.I like my team, maybe too much, I need an independent pair of eyes to assess areas of improvement/redundancy. Given a number of season ending injuries, a dramatic weakness throughout season is RB, that I have tried to assess through WW and tradesThe question is who is viable trade bait and what area would you target for stretch and playoff run.Thanks in advance for the input.Current RosterQB: Romo(tasty schedule)RB: D. murray(Felix Jones effect?), F Jones(injured, & ? of role on return) B. Tate(has been very effective last several weeks but Leinart effect?), Starks(great schedule but GB doesn't run with consistency, got him cheap for N. Washington), Battle(Doing just enough but uggh) WR: Fitz, AJ Green(tough schedule down stretch), Roddy white(simply underperforming), Damien Williams (intriguing WW pick up 2 weeks ago...haven't had the balls to start yet)TE: GronkD/ST: Green bay and CinciK: Kasay(on bye), Gostkowski(for week 11)

In a non-PPR, you are reliant on your RBs for success. I think you have to roll with Murray and play Tate in games the Texans should dominate. I would look to pick up Lance Ball with the Bronco RB injuries. I think I would look to trade Roddy, if possible, for RB help. You can play the waiver wire for WRs. Some people still like his big name

If I can get Sproles for Roddy White...Is it worth the trade?

not in non-ppr

Hey Jeff, playoffs right around the corner. Up 2 games at 8-2 but I do not have the tie breakers with the 2nd/3rd places tied at 6-4. Won 5 straight so don't want to rock the boat but at the same time, playoffs will be tough, some very very good teams putting up a lot more points than I do. I have been lucky with the schedule. I am currently 4th in points. If I get knocked below 2nd place I could loss the wildcard spot

my team:

Team 1: Drafted 6th 1QB 2RB 2WR 1flex 1TE 1PK 1DEF

QB: Roethlisberger(bye), FitzPatrick;

RB: McCoy, Ray Rice, Ricky Williams, Kevin Smith, Dion Lewis;

WR: Holmes, Harvin, Julio Jones(inj), Vince Brown, Antonio Brown(bye);

TE: Graham(bye), A Hernandez; PK: Nugent; TD: Bengals,Patriots

I'm thinking about offering Ray Rice for Foster. I dont like what Baltimore has done the last 2 weeks. Foster has been huge but on a bye and now Leinart is the QB. I am taking a lot of potential points off of the board this week and I need to mention our leagues 3rd playoff spot is a wildcard award to the team with the most points after the top 2 team are seeded by record.

I dont think I can get Tate so if Foster goes down i lose. where I have Ricky Williams if Rice goes down. And this is non-ppr.

Worth the risk? I dont think I make this offer for ant RB besides Foster.

Yes, I think it is worth the risk. If you do the deal, go pick up Ward.

Hi Jeff-12 Team Auction Keeper LeaguePPR, .5 PPC, 4 pass td, 6 othersHave Vick and Tebow. Looks like Vick isn't going to go and even if he did I'd hate to start him and see him get re-injured. At the same time, its a huge game for them and a big one against the Giants so he could man up and go off.With the Thursday start I need to make an early decision. Tebow has a tough matchup as well. I'd like to keep him around for whatever reason and he is a cheap keeper option. Do I start him to be safe or wait till Sunday and drop him for one of the following if still available:Skelton, Moore, Palmer, TJackson, Palmer, Smith, Ponder, Gabbert, Palko.What do you think?Thanks!PS: I'm 9-1, division essentially locked up, other option is to eat it if I have to as it won't hurt too much. I'd still be sitting pretty for a bye with a loss. I might ende up losing anyhow with Foster, Wallace and both tight ends (Graham and Daniels) on bye. Thoughts?

I like Palmer a lot this week and would try to pick him up and keep Tebow. To me your options are to drop another player for Palmer or start Tebow. Those are the only two decent options, imo. Tebow should get you 15ish fantasy points so not too bad.

Jeff, PPR....in sig.Do you see me picking up any of theseowell,K.Smith, J.Johnson(denverTrying to figure who to start this week for Wallace and Foster.Picked up D. jones......was one thought.......already have little,Williams in....but need one more WRCan play a rb or wr in flex positionWant be terrible if I lost .....but love Winning.Thanks

Little and Damian Williams for sure. Then start DJones as WR3. I assume Harry Douglas is not available. He could have another great game this week.

Another league Standard scoringHolmes or D. Nelson?Thanks

Two great options. Keep an eye on the Stevie Johnson injury. Holmes is the better play unless Johnson is out for Buffalo, making Nelson a better option

Hey Jeff,

In a 10 team standard-scoring non PPR league, I start 2 WRs and 2 RBs with one W/R/T flex.

My Team -

QB: Tebow

RB: Murray, Ray Rice, Beanie, M. Bush, Helu, Greene, Best

WR: Colston, Megatron, Crabtree, L. Robinson

TE: Graham

After week 11 playoffs start and I will have a bye from weeks 12-13. Essentially, the only part of the schedule that matters is weeks 14-17.

Should I make this trade: VJax for Colston

Colston is definitely the more consistent option, but VJax has huge upside. The majority of my team is very consistent, and I was thinking that maybe having VJax and his inconsistency wouldn't be so bad.

Colston plays CAR, ATL, TEN, MIN in weeks 14-17

VJax plays BUF, BAL, OAK, DET in weeks 14-17.

Thanks in advance.

Colston has the much better schedule, imo, but I may lean toward VJax just for the shot at a huge game. Both are streaky.

How do you feel about Roberts....now? or is he even worth owning. After bye week....may not need all the wr's.
