So I'm 0-1 and scored the 2nd lowest total points in my league and ended up with the #2 waiver spot so I won't be getting Ward...woot. 12 team league that starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, RB/WR, TE, K, D with standard scoring (but bonuses added for yardage and .33 PPR)My team:Roethlisberger, Ben PITYoung, Vince TEN QBBenson, Cedric CHI RBChatman, Jesse MIA RBGreen, Ahman HOU RBMorris, Sammy NEP RBParker, Willie PIT RBPeterson, Adrian CHI RBBruce, Isaac STL WRGalloway, Joey TBB WRHolmes, Santonio PIT WRMoss, Santana WAS WRPorter, Jerry OAK WRGates, Antonio SDC TEKaeding, Nate SDC PKPanthers, Carolina CAR DefRaiders, Oakland OAK DefI've targeted the following players on waiverserrick Ward NYG RBMichael Pittman TB RBRoddey White ATL WRDennis Northcutt JAC WRAntwaan Randle El WAS WREric Johnson NO TEBobby Engram SEA WRNate Burleson SEA WRWhat should be my order of preference and who should I drop for which players?

The only guys I like (read startable) are:WardPittmanand maybe:engram or northcutt but neither are better than what you have. You have a good team, but I think you will have tough decisions each week on who to start. I would drop the Raiders defense since the Panthers' look for real. The only other two players I would ask if available are Ron Dayne and Kenton Keith.

That's what I was thinking as well although Eric Johnson has some use with Gates bye but that is a ways off.Ron Dayne was taken in the draft, and I've given some serious thought to Kenton Keith as well.

I would place Keith 2nd or 3rd, depending on whether you think you will need to start Pittman during Caddy's absence or you want to take a shot at a home run (Keith). But, Ward is first either way, imo

 

[puddy]

Okay-So you think I should keep R Brown over Kevin Curtis???

I am torn, I know Westbrook is still the main receiver....but Curtis did get a lot more looks than Brown.

I won but it was too damn close...

My QB's are Leinart & Rivers.

I went with Leinart who sucked 14/102 1 TD & 2 INTS

Rivers wasn't any better 22/190 1INT & 1 FUM (LT threw the TD)

My only options on the wire are....

-Trent Green v DAL

-Jeff Garcia v NO

THOUGHTS????

Should I stick it out with Leinart v SEA or Rivers @ NE????

I am in a very bad place -

Stay put at QB and go with Leinart this week. Sea pass def is not great. On the Philly wrs, is there someone other than Brown to drop for Curtis? Congrats on the win, btw

 

[puddy]

My other receivers are

REGGIE WAYNE

WES WELKER

PATRICK CRAYTON

CALVIN JOHNSON

VINCENT JACKSON

REGGIE BROWN

My RB's are

SJAX-T HENRY-B JACKSON- J NORWOOD-M LYNCH

I'm carrying only 1 TE, DEF, & K, plus my 2 QB's.

I don't really want to drop a guy from another team for 2 Eagle receivers. That sounds to risky

But, I am open to you thoughts and opinions. They have served me well.

First of all, you have a good team, congrats. I think I would hold tight another week. The bright side is you have Wayne and four good young WRs. The trick will be who to start each week. If Calvin keeps this up, he will become a must start, too. You are in good shape.

 

[puddy]

Okay Jeff,

Here are my questions for both teams this week. Both offer PPR, YAC and bonuses for Special Team Yards

TEAM 1

QB (Need 1)

Matt Leinart v Sea or Phillip Rivers @ NE (Nervous about these 2 options)

RB (Need 2)

Reggie Bush @ TB

L Maroney v SD

Brandon Jackson @ NYG

DeAngelo Williams v HOU

WR (Need 3)

Reggie Wayne @ TEN

T.J. Houshmandzadeh @Cle

Bernard Berrian v KC

Patrick Crayton @ MIA

TE (Need 1)

Gonzo @ CHI (Should be automatic start but QB issues)

Heath Miller v BUF

DEF (Need 1)

Dallas @ MIA

Green Bay @ NYG (I like this option)

-------------------------------------

TEAM 2

RB (2)

SJax v SF

Travis Henry v OAK

Brandon Jackson @ NYG

Marshawn Lynch @ PIT

J Norwood @ JAC

WR (3)

Reggie Wayne @ TE

Patrick Crayton @ MIA

Calvin Johnson v MIN

Vincent Jackson @ NE

Reggie Brown v WAS

I need 1 of my leftover RB's or WR's to fill my Flex spot for my team 2 roster.

Thanks again for all the help!

The owner had Maroney and was concerned, deservedly so, with the RBBC that happened there. Braylon isn't #1 WR obviously, but he is an upgrade over Bruce. Plus he won't be playing the Steelers every week and his numbers could also possibly increase when Quinn is named the starter.That makes my WR group:S Moss, J Galloway, S Holmes, B EdwardsI'll try playing match up with these guys for a couple of weeks and if things don't work I will probably try to make another trade to get a bonified #1.

 

[Pocket Joker]

Hi WB-

Ok, so I am cutting Joe Horn (currently my #6 WR) and thinking of taking a chance on a WW flier this week in my full 12-team 18-player Dynasty league.

Who's avail:

Antwaan Randle-El (WAS #2)

Drew Carter (CAR #2)

D. Williams (BAL #3)

M. Furrey (DET #2)

J. Avant (PHI #3)

S. McDonald (DET #4)

I guess I want the guy who not only is going to surprise this year, but will also stick around.

Who do you like? This is a heavy TD league with PPR (25pts per TD, 2 pts per rec., 1 pt for every 5 yards)

Thanks!

[valhallan]

Jeff, I'm in a PPR dynasty that must start 3 WRs. My stable is somewhat shaky:

R.Williams

Ma.Clayton

Holmes

Bruce

Crayton

Dem.Williams

Jarrett

L.Robinson

Gonzalez

Only one sure starter there and a lot of prospects, imo. We also start a team defense with scoring for points allowed, sacks, turnovers, and TDs. My current defense in Jacksonville and I'm in need of a backup. It looks like I can deal Patrick Crayton for the Oakland defense. Do you like that move? I'm worried about sacrificing depth from what so far looks like a weak WR corps, but I also don't really see much long-term potential in Crayton.

Keep Crayton. For this week, I like Roy, Bruce and either Holmes or Crayton ... with the lean towards Crayton for me in PPR.

 

[valhallan]

Thanks. It's always nice to get a neutral perspective

 

[rascal]

Okay the owner of TO, Wayne, Driver, etc has expressed interest in Derrick Ward. TO and Wayne are off limits he said, but he is willing to trade Driver.

Which WR's of mine should I combine with Ward to get Driver?

This is a standard scoring league with .33 PPR.

My WR's: Galloway, Holmes, Edwards, and S Moss

[Leo2228]

In my yahoo league I have VYoung and Alex Smith these player below are on WW Is there any qb on this ww that are up grade than what I have . I thought about playing the ww on the bad week but keep V Young

I also have Mark Clayton and I saw DJAX on ww should I pick him up

WW QB

J.P. Losman

Rex Grossman

Trent Green

Jason Campbell

Jeff Garcia

David Garrard

Daunte Culpepper

 

[puddy]

I still can't believe that my #2 RB pick Maroney is someone I have to bench n favor of a Rookie in Green Bay.

I wish I could find reason to debate this choice with you, but after last week's performance I am speechless. Certainly, facing the Patriots will be a more difficult task than the JETS.

Unfortunately, this team also contains my weak QB combo go Leinart & Rivers. Rivers faces NE after his sad performance at home v the Bears. Leinart started with a INT and looked timid most of the game.

So, you advised me to go with Leinart. Again, I cannot honestly disagree with you because I am providing you with some sad, sad options.

On the WW are Grossman v KC, Garrard v ATL and Boller v NYJ. These as well are sad options. But, do you think any of them are more worthy of the starting position this week? If so, who do I drop Leinart or Rivers?

They both have better WR options. Should I just bite the bullet with Leinart this week and remain confident that Rivers will face lesser defenses as the season wears on?

You have the FINAL WORD on this subject. I am driving myself crazy!

Thanks again Jeff!

I am not a huge Smith fan, and I like only Grossman more. I would give Grossman this week. His thing is he plays great in games they should dominate. That is when he plays lights out.

Love Grossman against the Chiefs. IS there an easy drop other than at QB? The thing on Rivers is the tough schedule. I think he will have some good games, but hard to know when. Also, please keep in mind that I am the leader of the Grossman bandwagon this year and am optimistic for his fantasy chances.

 

[atcdav]

The Peyton trade didnt happen he wanted Alexander.

By the way, Nice job in the roundtable.

I am looking at a trade and wondering your thouhgt on Jamal Lewis and the lowly Browns.

12 team redraft league no ppr. we start 1Qb, 2RB, 2WR, 1RB/WR/TE-Flex, 1TE, 1PK, 1D

My team:

B Roethlisberger D Culpepper M Schaub P Rivers

D Rhodes S Alexander D Foster T Bell F Taylor

C Johnson D Williams R Wayne A Boldin

H Miller M Pollard

M Stover

D Steelers

I give Rivers and Bell and get Lewis and Hackett

My thought is I really dont need Rivers and there are QBs available on waivers still if a need arises. Bell is probably a short term play. I would like more depth at WR and Hackett is a play when healthy. Lewis is on a bad team but is the only guy, no RBBC. Hopefully Taylor and Foster perform well. Lewis may be a bust but I am not giving much. Feel free to disagree.

Another tidit for what it is worth. I play this team week 6. Bell is on a bye, Lewis vs MIA, Big Ben on a bye so I start Schaub vs JAX, Rivers vs OAK, If Hackett is back he vs NO

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Trade help. A team is looking to trade P.Manning for best offer. Can I help him? 12 team redraft. 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1flex, 1TE, 1PK, 1Def.my team, Ben R., Rivers, Schaub, CulpepS.Alexander, T.Bell, F.Taylor, D.Foster, D.

Depending on how much you like any of these guys, you could try one of:Ben and Alexander for Peyton and Barber or Deuce (tweak as you like). Ben and Chad for Peyton and Muhsin. You would still be able to start Wayne and Bolding at WR.Ben and Rivers and Tatum for Peyton and MMorris or Faulk.

 

[Cool in the pocket]

Hey Jeff,

I'm drowning with too much choice at RB2 this week. This a PPR league (RB's too) where RB's get 1/15 rushing and 1/10 receiving plus the PPR. Here are my choices for RB@ this week:

Foster home to Houston

Taylor home to Atlanta

Jordan on the road in Denver

Julius Jones on the road in Miami

Ahman Green in Carolina

I'm leaning towards Jordan, but don't want to live off last week's stats. Denver at home with a new QB (Culp) will not = Lions at home. I like Taylor's match up and Fosters too, but they aren't involved in the passing attack as much. Green will be involved in the passing game, but Carolina will be tough and I expect that Houston will be behind early. Maybe that's good cause AG will get more passing opps? Maybe that also means that DWill will mop up again in the 4th too? Don't like JJ much this week.

What are your thoughts?

 

[rascal]

I'm trying to determine the value of Benson and Ward right now and I'm having some problems.

If I combined the two what RBs do you think I should target in a trade (.33 PPR with standard scoring).

Good news is you have good depth. The first guy I would throw out is Ahman after the way he Panthers shut down SJax last week. I am not a huge Foster fan so he is next for me. Hard to tell whether he or DWill will be the guy week to week. The next three are tough for me. I like Julius and the Cowboys but may discount because it is hard to tell whether he or MBarber will get more action. Jordan versus Taylor is tough, too. Witht he fear that I would be "chasing poins from last week", I will reluctantly say Jordan. I do think they will be down a lot in the game, but I expect Jordan to catch some passes. He is one of the few on your list that should get most of the RB touches for his team. Good luck.

I'm trying to determine the value of Benson and Ward right now and I'm having some problems.If I combined the two what RBs do you think I should target in a trade (.33 PPR with standard scoring).

I would look to the RBs in the tier of: Rudi, Willis, MJ Drew, Maroney, etc. Their is a chance you could get a guy like LJ or Travis Henry and that is where I would start. There will be many unhappy LJ owners after this week, imo.

 

[puddy]

Okay here is my complete roster...who would you drop for grossman?

Leinart

Rivers

Reggie Bush

Maroney

B Jackson

D Williams

R Wayne

TJ Housh

Berrian

Crayton

Gonzo

H Miller

Cincy

If I did drop someone for Grossman...would you seriously recommend playing Berrian as well, still?

I look forward to your feedback as usual.

I would drop the Bengal defense and pick up another defense when you need to cover Dallas' bye. And, I would love to start Grossman and Berrian. It is risky, but not a bad play in general. You could hit it big.

 

[puddy]

I have Leinart & Rivers...both SUCK

Who would you drop for Anderson...Oh My God, I actually just said that!

I should know better about 1 week wonders.....please set me straight!

I could drop Brandon Jackson for him since he sucks as well.

thanks

Hass and Jones with your team. Jones is very underrated right now after playing the Patriots and Ravens in first two games. YOu also have Ben at QB which helps. Also, imo, your team could use another starting RB. Jacobs will be back in a week or two limiting Ward. I read one report this morning that said Jacobs is not ruled out for this week.

 

[puddy]

Okay Jeff-

I need to figure out what my best option for my week 4 RB bye week replacement is...

I have DeAngelo Williams but I haven't seen anything worth while. I drafted him with confidence to be my #3.

Reggie Bush's Bye Week (4) is fast approaching.

My other RB's are:

Maroney (Hasn't shown up yet)

DeShawn Wynn

Week 4

Carolina is at Tampa Bay

Wynn is at Minnesota

Maroney gets the start at Cincy

Kevin Jones faces Chicago at home (not a great matchup)

Maroney is a given - I am lost - should I pick up Jones who should regain his role as #1 back or

will Williams take over in Carolina and get going sooner than later?

No more questions from me until Thursday. Thanks again !

jaxcarolinahoustoni think houston is overrated now because of who they have played. the panthers are a better nfl defense than fantasy. and i am hoping jax can turn it around.

I would definitely pick up KJones if available. I expect Maroney to bounce back. They have blown out the first two opponents and he should get more carries. If you have Wynn, deciding between he and KJ for RB2 should not be a bad situation, imo. And, no worries on the questions. That is what I am here for.

 

[puddy]

So who do I dump? DeAngelo Williams for KJones? I just want to be clear. It's a shame because there is always this promise of DeAngelo taking the number 1 slot from Foster but it has never materialized. Do you trust Martz to include the running game a bit more w/ Jones in the back and not tender foot Bell?

Glad that you also like the Wynn kid with Green Bay.

You rock! I appreciate the help.

Please keep my Saints in your prayers we need them..I will be in the Dome Monday night!

Keep DWill. Who else you have to drop? I see your Saints playing well this week.

 

[puddy]

Well, I have 3 QB's

Leinart-Rivers and Anderson.

Rivers seems to be the weakest but would or should I honestly keep Anderson? Rivers should be doing better, right?

I have 2 TE's

Gonzo & Heath Miller

I'd like to keep the 2 TE's, to drop one later for a bye week filler.

I'll wait for your thoughts...

dump anderson for KJ. This is an easy choice for me since anderson is really not startable and will be yanked for Quinn soon enough.

 

[puddy]

Okay Jeff...I want to agree with you but...

Leinart is up against the RAVENS D this week and Rivers is at Green Bay - an unexpected SOLID D!

Who would I start? Everything I read still shows Anderson v Oakland as the better option.

Basically all 3 suck!

Leinart has been a tiny bit better than Rivers but he faces the Ravens D this week and he had trouble with the 49ers.

Rivers is at Green Bay with their unexpected Defensive surge and he hasn't done anything yet with LT or Gates.

So, I grabbed up Anderson b/c I am desperate..he has Oakland

Every projection I see still shows Anderson with the best numbers.

I don't want to carry 3 QB's - I want to drop one of these guys SOON!

Here are there matchups for the next couple of weeks

Leinart - BAL-PIT-STL-CAR-WAS

Rivers - GB-KC-DEN-OAK-BYE

Anderson - OAK-BAL-MIA-BYE

Woe is me ...

Play Anderson. Next week, Rivers gets KC so you should be able to drop Anderson then. The two things I think of with Anderson and the Browns, in general, are that last week was an aberration in that the Bengal defense was terrible and the Anderson might lose his job after one bad game. Use him this week, only because of the poor matchups of the other two. Let's start the discussion on how to improve your QB situation. You can either try to trade Leinart and a player for a QB upgrade or go the waiver wire route. If the waivers, I might encourage you to keep tabs on Pennington/Clemens for the next week or so. The Jets schedule will have some good matchups. McNair/Boller is another. Every year, there are a few QBs that are injured or replaced and the replacements perform well (Bledsoe/Romo, McNabb/Garcia, etc).I would still pick up Kevin Jones even if you have to drop Heath Miller.

I seem to do a much better job evaluating someone elses trade versus my own.

So here we go. 12 team redraft start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1Flex, 1TE, 1PK, 1D. no ppr

B Roethlisberger D Culpepper M Schaub

D Rhodes S Alexander F Taylor J Lewis D Foster

D.J. Hackett Chad Johnson Dem Williams R Wayne A Boldin

H Miller

M Stover

D Steelers

D Texans

I give Boldin and Foster for Benson and Evans.

I like Boldin, but as a Benson is more valuable, right? Evans is underperforming , seems that way at the start of every year. But should come around. Is Benson a bust?

That is a great deal for you. I would take it and run. I think Benson is the most valuable player in the deal. Evans is only your WR3 so not that big of a deal. Great deal.

 

[Beef Ravioli]

I own SJax guy in my league owns LT. He has toyed with the idea of trading with me involving those two guys, but has wanted to much extra for me to pull the trigger. Could you help with a trade that would be good for me and one he would consider or tell me to stay put (0-2 record thus far).

PPR league / 6 points per td

MY Team:

QB - Schaub / McCown

RB - SJax / S Alexander / T Jones / Brian Leonard / Mo Morris

WR - Reggie Wayne / Roy Williams / Brandon Marshall / Cotchery / Mark Clayton

TE - Owen Daniels

K - Suisham

Def - Texans / Titans

His Team:

QB - Derek Anderson / Garrard / Leinart

RB - LT / MJD / Wynn

WR - Steve Smith / Welker / Randle El / Shaun McDonald

TE - V Davis / Eric Johnson

Def - Pats / 49ers

He has offered LT/Welker and Eric Johnson for Jax / Reggie / and Marshall - I said no, should I say yes?? Any other ideas or just sit with what I got and everyone will come around?

Thanks
