[Jeff Tefertiller]

I'm in a TD-only league (8-teamer) where I have #1 waiver priority.Lost Grant, but I do have a million RBs. (ADP, MJD, MB III, S JAX, DeAngelo) The thing is, I can start all 3 flexes as RB (thus 4 RBs can play!)I basically go 1 WR all year and have Nicks and DeSean to usually pick from - I also have S Moss and V Davis.At QB, I have the 3-headed monster of Ryan, Palmer, and Favre.I trust that even with Kuhn in a vulture role that B Jax is the no-brainer here?Do I bother roster Kuhn at the expense of say, Santana Moss?I did get a trade offer where I was offered Boldin for Nicks and the #1 (presumably B Jax). I said a flat no.Anyhow, is there any reason to go anywhere but B Jax with this one?-QG

I, too, would keep Nicks and avoid Boldin. Pick up Jackson to, if nothing else, keep him away from your opponents. I would run strong RBs if you can.

Hi Jeff – received a trade offer, and would like your thoughts.Offer: I give LT and McCluster. He gives Donald Brown, Mike Sims-Walker, and Jeff Reed.12-team NON-PPR redraft league. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 WR/RB Flex, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. 16 player roster. Passing TDs = 4 pts, all others 6 pts. 1 pt for 10 yards rushing and receiving, 25 yards passing.My Team:QB: Eli, Ben RB: Gore, Bradshaw, R Bush, M Bush, LT WR: Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Chad Ochocinco, Mason, McClusterTE: Keller, Hernandez DEF: Mia K: RackersHis Team:QB: Brady, Vince YoungRB: Ryan Mathews, Pierre Thomas, Forte, Donald Brown, Choice WR: Mike Wallace, Mike Sims-Walker, Knox, Mike Williams (Sea)TE: Gonzalez DEF: Dallas, SD K: Akers, ReedRB: For me, LT looked pretty good last week. On his team, Forte went absolutely nuts, Pierre also had a good week, and D Brown did nothing behind Addai.WR: My McCluster had a pretty exciting MNF, but he’s not gonna play much with Calvin, Brandon, and Ochocinco on my team, since I can only start 3 WR (using one for my RB/WR flex). McCluster was one of my “swing for the fences” guys, so I’d swap him out for value…His MSW was held without a catch by Denver, so had a very poor first week. I’d like to upgrade at RB and TE, but don’t think D Brown is it, and he only has Gonzo at TE so probably won’t budge there. Do either Pierre or Forte have enough potential based on one week to try to swap for one of them? Maybe counter with something like his Knox and Forte (that’s a lot of Bears!), for LT and McCluster? That doesn't seem like much improvement, kinda just swapping out comparable pieces?Or maybe his Forte for McCluster and Mason, since his WRs are pretty weak? Does any counter offer jump out at you?

I would hold tight since MSW would not start for you and there is no RB upgrade

Wow, he was high on WW, so just added Brandon Jackson and Toby Gerhart for Choice and SD. With his strength at RB now (Mathews, Pierre, Forte, Jackson, DBrown, and Gerhart), it sure seems like a deal is there. If Mathews is the real deal, what do you think of an offer of my LT and Chad, for his Mathews and MSW? Or maybe just Chad for Mathews?

 

[hhncartjock]

Hi Jeff. Got couple week 2 WDIS ?s for ya. Your week 1 suggestion of Jerome Harrison over Welker and Gaffney didn't turn out how I hoped it would but I still won the week by a large margin. (103.90-54.30...thanks to arian foster, chris johnson and miles austin)

QB...kolb...vick...alex smith

I'm hoping vick gets the start vs detroit. Don't think smith vs new orleans is a good matchup

FLEX...welker...LT...gaffney...j harrison

After Greenes performance last week I like LT this week. I could see 100+ comined rushing/receiving yards, 4 catches and 1 td.

Jets defense worries me. not sure if patriots will move the ball like they did last week. 6-8 catches 70 yards no TDs

Gaffney and Harrison..I doubt ill start either one unless you can convince me otherwise

I assume id be an idiot to not start chris johnson..arian foster..calvin johnson..miles austin..jerimichael finley.

Look forward to hearing your opinions. Thanks for the help

Hey Jeff,

In a standard scoring league, how would you rate these tight ends"

Carlson,

Gresham

Heap

Scaife

Lewis

Schefler

Also these rb's just for depth: Buckhalter,Huggins,Redman

Thanks

 

[rascal]

Need to figure out what to do with my QB spot (see team in sig).Should I drop Kolb for Vick/Young/Hasselbeck/Orton/Anderson until Big Ben gets back?Also...any thoughts on who I should drop for Brandon Jackson? Or should I not pick him up.I'd like to pick up Nate Washington or Michael Clayton but I don't see anybody on my team I should pick him up for.

I would cut Kolb for Vick and Caddy for Jackson.

Well I didn't get Jackson but I did pick up Hillis. Also got Vick.I think my season is already doomed.

Hi Jeff, I am looking for trade help. 12 team non ppr redraft league. start 1qb, 2rb,2wr,1te, 1flex.

my roster

A Rodgers D Garrard ®

A Bradshaw B Jackson J Addai B Wells L Tomlinson D Brown

H Nicks M Austin L Naanee M Thomas

49ers Bears

I am trying to trade Brandon Jackson, I have been offered Andre Johnson, Garson and Faulk for Jackson, Nicks and Naanee. It slightly improves my line up of what I had prior to Grant going down. I feel I have 5 RBs that are good for 8-10pts a week. It looks like I give Nicks and bench for AJ and bench.

I may also get an offer for Bradshaw and Jackson for Foster...may or may not get the offer

thanks for the advice

Hey Jeff, 12 team redraft

I lost Stafford and have Big Ben as my backup. How much of my $1000 should I use to acquire Vick via blind bidding. Thanks

 

[Imagine]

Hi Jeff. How much of your blind bidding money should a guy bid for someone like Brandon Jackson? I had Ryan Grant, so would really like to replace him. I've never done blind bidding before. We each have $1,000 to start the season.

It's only the first week, but if Jackson is the man in GB, how much does a guy bid? All $1,000? $850? $500? I know it depends on how bad someone else wants him, but what's a "reasonable" amount to bid on someone the first week of the year?

12 team redraft, NON-ppr, start 2 RB, 3 WR, and 1 RB/WR. 20 player roster, passing TDs 4 pts, passing yds 1 for 20, rushing yards 1 for 10, receiving yds 1 for 10. Thanks!

Jeff, Standard Scoring

I have a guy in this league who has 3 qb's......and of course we only start one. I know I have to wait for the Vick/Kolb thing to play, and of course Vick can be good if he keeps playing.

This guys Qb's are Brady,Vince,Garrard

His Rb's are: Turner Sproles Portis R. Williams, Harrison we only start 2 except for flex rb/wr

His Wr's are Smith and Driver, Berrian

My team is in sig. Do I or should I make an offer for Garrard maybe.

Or just let it ride!!

Hopefully I'll be back on track this week. Sorry for all the questions lately and Thanks!

Should I trade D-Jax ?

Randy Moss @ NYJ

Bernard Scott (just kidding)

CAR sure did give up a lot via the pass last week...Tampa should be down...#1 target...Jets are darn good against Moss.

WDIS?!

Hi Jeff

I am in a standard PPR league. My QB is Cutler who goes against Dallas this week. My QB#2 is Alex Smith.

My TE#1 is Cooley and my Te#2 is Shockey.

1. Would you trade TE Shockey for QB Vick and play him over Cutler and pick up off of waivers Fassano?

2. If so who would you drop out of the following 2 players: WR Cammarillo Min or RB Leon Washington

from Seattle?

Thanks...

What are you thoughts?

[oconsirl]

Jeff,

Need help with starters this week. We start 2 RB, 2 WR and a flex.

Points = 1/10 yds, 6 td, 1 ppr, 1/40 return

RBs: Foster, Charles, Addai, Wells, Stewart

WRs: Owens, MSW, MWallace, Breaston, Harvin

leaning towards -- RB1 Foster, RB2 Charles, WR1 Breaston, WR2 Harvin FLEX Addai

im struggling most w the WR position, think the 3 RBs are pretty set. Thoughts on who to play or is it another crapshoot week?

 

[Imagine]

Hi Jeff – took a TE late, and would like to upgrade.

12-team NON-PPR redraft league. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 WR/RB Flex, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. 16 player roster.

Passing TDs = 4 pts, all others 6 pts. 1 pt for 10 yards rushing and receiving, 25 yards passing.

I have Dustin Keller, 2 - 13 – 0, 5 targets, and Aaron Hernandez, 1 - 45 – 0, 2 targets. Hernandez got that 45 yards all in one play, so the ceiling is there, but so is a very low floor!

WW options are:

• Tony Scheffler, Det, 6 - 43 - 0, 7 targets

• Greg Olsen, Chi, 4 - 37 - 0, 6 targets

• Evan Moore, Cle, 3 - 87 - 0, 5 targets (that's a lot of yards for 3 catches on 5 targets!)

• Tony Moeaki, KC, 3 - 21 - 1, 4 targets (when that leads the team in receptions and yards, it’s not a team to gamble on… )

• Fred Davis, Wash, didn’t play much at all, and it seems like Cooley’s job to lose.

Based on targets alone, I’m inclined to grab Scheffler (vs Phil) for Hernandez, but for some reason the “prognosticators” seem to like Olsen (at Dallas).

Are you hearing or seeing anything that could help me with this decision? Thanks!

 

[SelenaCat]

I'm playing in a 2QB league with standard scoring (4 PaTD, 1 receiving first down, no big-game bonuses).

The Stafford owner is looking for a replacement QB and has offered Ronnie Brown for Orton.

My team:

QB: Cutler, Orton, Garrard, Vick

RB: Moreno, C. Benson, F. Taylor, Ricky Williams, Ringer, Choice

WR: A. Johnson, R. White, Burleson, Cotchery, Moore

TE: Gates

His team:

QB: A. Smith, Delhomme, Stafford, Wallace

RB: A. Peterson, D. Williams, Brandon Jackson, R. Brown, L. Johnson, C. Williams

WR: Ochocinco, Sims-Walker, Owens, Britt, Massaquoi

TE: Gonzo

Is this a good trade for me?

Or should I counteroff with Cutler + R. Williams for D. Williams + Stafford? Alternately, I could offer Benson instead of Williams to sweeten the deal.

 

[LionsFan78]

Jeff,

12 team PPR Redraft. I didn't draft Javon Ringer after selecting Chris Johnson. Probably should have, but didn't. Would you drop any of the bolded WR's to grab him as a Chris Johnson owner? Feeling like I'm playing with fire not backing him up, or should I roll the dice?

Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, D/PK

QB - Romo, E. Manning

RB - C. Johnson, S. Jackson, A. Bradshaw, B. Jackson

WR - Sims-Walker, H. Nicks, J. Maclin, J. Gaffney, M. Williams/SEA, L. Naanee

TE - A. Gates

PK - Vinatieri

D - SD

Standard Yahoo scoring (No PPR) 10 man. Guy I'm going up against this week has

QB: Kolb and Henne

RB: Turner, Thomas Barber Forsett

WR: Roddy White

I have Mendenhall, Charles, Jackson (GB), and Tomlinson as RBs. Rodgers is my QB and I have Rothlis as a backup

Is Mendenhall+Rothlis overpaying for Turner? He's obviously stressed at QB, I'd like to take advantage of that now to try to pick up Turner. What should my initial offer be? Also, great site, I picked up a subscription a few days ago.

Edit: To clarify, I'd like to pick up Vincent Jackson off the wire and I have a pretty solid bench so I wouldn't mind giving two.

Bench is

Royal

McCluster

Tomlinson

Rothlis

Moss

Shiancoe

My team is below. Because of the very possible game time with H. Nicks, would you drop S. Moss to p/u M. Williams (Seattle or TB are available), M. Manningham, or J. Jones (HOU)? I am 1-0, but face a tough matchup this week and another next week. Do you like any of these players over S. Moss for this week? Other wise I will be going R. Moss and S. Moss with P. thomas, J. Best and M. Forte. Right now I have R. Moss, H. Nicks, P. Thomas, J. Best and S. Moss in the flex. Thanks for your help.

QB: Brees, M. Ryan

12 team PPR Redraft. I didn't draft Javon Ringer after selecting Chris Johnson. Probably should have, but didn't. Would you drop any of the bolded WR's to grab him as a Chris Johnson owner? Feeling like I'm playing with fire not backing him up, or should I roll the dice?

Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, D/PK

QB - Romo, E. Manning

RB - C. Johnson, S. Jackson, A. Bradshaw, B. Jackson

WR - Sims-Walker, H. Nicks, J. Maclin, J. Gaffney, M. Williams/SEA, L. Naanee

TE - A. Gates

PK - Vinatieri

D - SD

in a redraft, dump naanee in a heartbeat for him. and i agree about you playing with fire

Standard Yahoo scoring (No PPR) 10 man. Guy I'm going up against this week has QB: Kolb and HenneRB: Turner, Thomas Barber ForsettWR: Roddy White I have Mendenhall, Charles, Jackson (GB), and Tomlinson as RBs. Rodgers is my QB and I have Rothlis as a backupIs Mendenhall+Rothlis overpaying for Turner? He's obviously stressed at QB, I'd like to take advantage of that now to try to pick up Turner. What should my initial offer be? Also, great site, I picked up a subscription a few days ago.Edit: To clarify, I'd like to pick up Vincent Jackson off the wire and I have a pretty solid bench so I wouldn't mind giving two.Bench isRoyalMcClusterTomlinsonRothlisMossShiancoe

I love the move ...

Hi Jeff,I am in a 10 team .5 ppr league. 1 pt per 10 yd rush and pass. 6 pts.per TD including passing. Start 1 QB, 2RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR flex,1 TE, 1 DEF and 1 IDP. My team is below. Because of the very possible game time with H. Nicks, would you drop S. Moss to p/u M. Williams (Seattle or TB are available), M. Manningham, or J. Jones (HOU)? I am 1-0, but face a tough matchup this week and another next week. Do you like any of these players over S. Moss for this week? Other wise I will be going R. Moss and S. Moss with P. thomas, J. Best and M. Forte. Right now I have R. Moss, H. Nicks, P. Thomas, J. Best and S. Moss in the flex. Thanks for your help.QB: Brees, M. RyanRB: P. Thomas, J. Best, M. Forte, M. Barber, WR: R. Moss, H. Nicks, M. Wallace, J. Knox, S. MossTE: B. CelekDEF: Niners, PatriotsK: doesn’t matterIDP: J. Vilma

I would keep/start santana in what could be a shootout against hou; second choice would be manningham so you could play either one ... depends on who starts

Hey Jeff,12 team PPRstart 3 WR'sMarshallS. Smith(CAr)OchocincoSantana MossAm I overthinking starting Moss over ochocinco?

start your three studs and be happy you have santana as a backup, he is a decent spot player

Hey Jeff,

I'm getting inside my own head about my starting RB's this week. Foster or B Jackson (PPR league)? Here's my thoughts...

Ok... Foster had an outstanding week last week. I'm not forgetting that (I live in Houston. I watched the game and he looked great). But, I'm also not forgetting that they were playing the Colts, who have a pretty bad run D, and Houston's game plan against them is always to control the clock with the running game to keep the ball out of Manning's hands. Hence, Foster's 33 carry, 230+yd, 3 TD day. This week though, they play WAS who has a much better D, but much less of an offense, so they won't be looking to control the clock nearly as much. He will also still lose some 3rd down carries to Slaton, and probably even more of them this week since HOU will likely be throwing the ball a bit more. On the other hand, Brandon Jackson plays BUF, who has a horrible run D. He is a very capable RB, he looked great last week, and will not be splitting time with anyone at all. My one and only concern with Jackson is if GB gets a large lead by halftime (which they likely will), will they protect Jackson by putting in one of their scrub RB's to chew up clock? If they don't though, I think Jackson could be in for a huge day against a horrible D. But, (and there's always a but), it's tough to ignore Foster's game last week.

So, logically, am I crazy for wanting to bench Foster for Jackson this week (Gore is my other starter)?

Thanks in advance!

I feel that I dominated our auction, and also was able to grab Brandon Jackson for rather cheap on BB waivers ($70 of $130). I'm now getting antsy wanting to make a move. Who would you look to move, and where would you improve this team?

QB: Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Davis Garrard

RB: Frank Gore, Ray Rice, Brandon Jackson, Ahmad Bradshaw, Marion Barber, Fred Taylor, Willis McGahee

WR: Calvin Johnson, Chad Ochocinco, Hakeem Nicks, Mark Clayton, Louis Murphy, Jacoby Jones
