I would not consider dropping any player with exception of Ben. Even then, I would only pick up either BJohnson or Baskett. But, in all likelihood, neither will start a game for you. You have a very good team. If you want to take a chance on upside, pick up Baskett since Stallworth is doubtful this week. I suspect he might be out for a while. I am leary of BJohnson since he failed to produce last year while starting during Boldin's injury.
I think I stand pat, as tough as that might be. I would not give up your WRs in a PPR league. If you want to make an offer, I would suggest something like Maroney and Favre for Grossman and Tatum. I am assuming you start only one QB each week. if you start two, then you might have to part with a WR. But, your WRs will carry you late in the season.
UPDATE :I have 2 offers on the table:#1I get Bulger & MBell I give WDunn and either Favre or Carr#2I get PManning, BJacobs & JHorn I give Favre, Dunn and BoldinABryant and LEvans are the best wrs on the ww.Do you think getting Manning over Bulger is worth the downgrade at wr from Boldin? Which trade would you take?Thanks in advance!!
Ok, I traded away LT for Gore, K Jones, and R. Brown....New team is QB- Hass, Roeth, SmithRB- Gore, Jones, Dillon, Lewis, GreenWR- Harrison, R Brown, Berrian, R Moss, Branch, CotcheryI loved my team at the beginning of the year, but now its looking rather bleek
...suggestions on where I should go from here?Gore has a rough 4 weeks ahead, but after that he should be great...Roeth has done nothing...Smith over Roeth this week even though he's at SD and Ill be playing Gore as well???My first year in a FFL = 
I would site Gore only because of PPR. I see a huge week for Brown looking at how the Jets gave up huge points to the Jag RBs.
I would pass because I do not like giving White, much less AND Lewis, for Taylor in a TD heavy league. I do not think Taylor is a real strong play in your league. I do like the Jax schedule, but not at that price. I think I would prefer offering Lewis and Dillon for Taylor and a decent RB. I like White more for late in the season when the Titans are out of the race.
I do like option one a ton. I think Favre and Carr are very close to Bulger this year and Dunn is a decent option. And, for option two, I do not think you can afford the downgrade at wr. In most leagues, Carr has outscored Peyton and Favre has about the same production. But, in the end, I like option one better than two. If you do that deal, check the schedule to see which, GB or Hou, matches up best with St Louis'. I am not so sure that Peyton will outproduce Bulger, Carr, Favre by the difference of downgrade from Boldin to Horn. This is why I am against option two.
You still have a good team. I would start:Hass and Smith (only because Ben has yet to throw a TD and I would want to see it first)Gore and Jones (Dillon is on bye, Lewis is an option, Green is on bye)Reg Brown, Berrian, Cotchery (Harrison on bye, Moss has tough matchup, Branch is an option)Ok, I traded away LT for Gore, K Jones, and R.

I like Evans and Roy for sure. Good thing this game is in the dome and not in Buffalo. I read where Roy practiced on Friday and should play.Now, for the last spot. I think I would go with Mason. I am afraid of what the Bear defense will do to Leinart and company. And, I think McNair/Mason will bounce back this week.
Hey, sorry. I am not around on Sunday mornings.
Ok. I read the deal:Turner, leon and 1st (from a 2-4 team) for Bush.
I do not know if I have helped much. I would not pick up the AZ defense. I would still keep Watson, but probably look at rb or wr waiver options, just for the upside.I do not know what you have available, but I see the last spot on the roster as a high reward guy that can change every week if needed. Just a spot to take a chance with little cost.But, with Stover's bye this week, do you have another kicker? I, personally, like Scobee as a sleeper kicker for the rest of the year. Stover started off hot, but has had three straight poor games.Wannabee I've got a WW question for you.I picked up A Smith (TE) as suggested and he came through for me. I also have Ben Watson...Today I am torn....do I drop Watson and grab the Cards Defense? I already have the Broncos, but I thought it might be smater to have 2 options at Defense than at TE.What do you guys think?How about my SAINTS!!!!
Hey Puddy, I had another thought. I would pick up the AZ defense for this week only against the Raiders. The Cardnials should be ticked off after last nite and might be a great play for this week only.I do not know if I have helped much. I would not pick up the AZ defense.

I think it comes down to Washington or the Jets defense. I think I would dump the Jets defense. The AZ defense has a great matchup this week and could be huge in that scoring.
I think you have to choose one TE to drop for the AZ defense. I think it is a toss up. But, I also think Watson offers more upside. These last two weeks are probably the best two weeks a Smith owner will see.
I think it is a GREAT move to:give Willis and Masonandget Tiki and TO
I prefer keeping LJ longterm to SJax just due to TDs. But, LJ is worth more, so I would probably trade him just because he holds SO much value.In no PPR, I do not think that any of those deals are great for you. Boldin and Bush are gold in PPR, but neither score enough TDs to make it worth losing a STUD rb. I still might pursue the Smith/Holt owner about a SJax/Mason for Smith and a "decent RB worth a tad more than Mason. Or substitue LJ for Sjax for an upgrade at RB from his team.
) and S. Smith for Berrian, Branch, and A Green
I would hang tight on the QBs. You can play Hass each week, and play match ups on the other two. I think you will be fine with your RBs after this week when you have two one bye. I would not worry about your RBs right now, except for injuries. One thing I might try is Lewis and a WR (Brown) for Maroney and a WR toss in. Losing the WR would not hurt, but having both NE RBs would be great.Hey WB! Ive been doing a ton of trading recently and I wanted to get your thoughts on if I should stand pat or keep looking...my league is very passive, so its been tough for me to stand pat...here are my most recent trades:Acquired KJ, Gore, R Brown for Tomlinson- sucked but I desperately needed RB2 and WR2/3 help at the time...would probablsy take this one back if I knew I could get S. Smith (see below) so cheaplyAcquired Balt DEF for CotcheryAcquired Cotchery (
I can do this deal if I give up 1 of my 4 first round picks. It likely will be a mid to late round pick. But with the dilution from our college draft it's actually worse than that. I think I have to do this do even with Tiki retiring and TO being TO, right?
I think it all depends on the needs of the teams. But, in general, I would say Matt Jones, Glenn, Mark Clayton, and Branch. These are just generalizations but I hope this helps. I think Young is showing that he is a decent dynasty QB.
I would not do that at all. I LOVE Holt, but that is a horrible deal for you, imo. The only way I do that deal is if he would take Lewis instead of Taylor/Willis. I just do not see Holt as a huge upgrade over Walker, especially at the cost of a top 20 RB.
I would still do that deal if the pick is pick 1.06 or after (projected). That is a smoking deal for you.
Sweet. That pick is probably in the 1.08-1.10 vicinity at best. Thanks for your help. I'm going to pull the trigger right now.
I would start all but Braylon. he will get matched up on by Champ Bailey who should shut him down. On the TEs, I would go with Watson. Also, look for Smith to do better if Becht is not playing. Having the only other TE option injured helps Smith. But, I would still go with Watson for this week with the Pats coming off of bye.Hey WB....Due to bye weeks my questions are very limited this week...My LINEUP QUESTIONS are:WR (3)RWayne v WASTJ Housh v CARJWalker @ CLEBEdwards v DENTE (1)BWatson@ BUFASmith v PHII look forward to your wisdom
In a PPR, you HAVE to play Brown vs GB and Westbrook no matter who the Eagles play as long as he is healthy. In addition, I think you should go with Bell vs the Browns. Housh and Driver are the WRs I would choose. The Giants will make life difficult on MNF.I would lean toward Cincy defense.
Sorry I did not get to this in time. I liked Watson coming off of bye, especially with Daniel Graham out this week. I tried to warn against Smith earlier. I just do not like the guy. Maybe it is just me.TE ChoicesBen Watson @ BUFor Alex Smith v Philly???Watson hasn't seen the endzone yet....Smith has scored a TD a week since Gradkowski started.Stick with the hot hand and start Smith orroll with Watson????THANKS
TO prob has 2-3 more years left. I think you are best off still with the trading away of Willis. I would look at trading Tiki only if I could get a RB like Norwood or DWilliams and a decent pick or college player. You still have decent RBs to make a run.Now to option 1. I would do it if I could get Portis or Bush (PPR, iirc). I think this is a no brainer. This is a cheap price for a top 5 player in dynasty. I would stay FAR away from Caddy. This would be my top option with the one above as my second best option.Gandalf said:
Helpful, as always. I've got feelers out with the Portis and Bush owners. Interestingly these owners play in the same division and are competing for a playoff spot. And they need WR help badly. I'm not going to play them off each other because I don't like doing that, but they are pretty savvy and know that I will be looking for top RBs, which they both have. This could play out nicely for me. The key is like you said, be cool. Thanks for reducing my level of desperation-it was the shock of losing this week (I was Alge Crumpler-ed today). I'll be able to keep things under control. After all, even if I keep Tiki/TO, I could make a solid run for this year. And I agree with you that TO should have 2-3 more productive years left--he's in awesome shape still physicially. Thanks for all of your help.
So far, I'm still waiting on the Portis deal. The Reggie Bush owner declined, noting "Tiki is retiring and TO is too unpredictable." Just curious, why stay FAR away from Caddy in a dynasty league? Do you think Tampa's issues are more him or do you see the problems taking years to fix? What about Julius Jones for Tiki and TO? The owner who has JJ is fighting for the wild card spot in our league he might bite.Regarding option #2. As a backup plan, which of the following do you prefer, Tiki Barber for:1. Maurice Jones-Drew and a late 1st round pick 2. Leon Washington and a late 1st round pick3. Jerius Norwood and a late 1st round pick4. Marion Barber III and mid to late 1st round pickThere's also another angle I thought of... I could trade Tiki and TO for a better WR in a dynasty format. Say someone along the lines of Torry Holt, Steve Smith, Andre Johnson? Where would this plan fall in the spectrum of choices?Thanks.
Leinart and Grossman will bounce back and be fine. I think both will definitely be startable the rest of the season.Hey WB...I am going to drop A Smith and grab another QB....I have Leinart and Grossman which equals crap!So.....on the WW are Big Ben (or do I grab Charlie Batch) is Ben going to play next week???Losman-Huard-BJohnson-Harrington.....woe is me!I was leaning towards Big Ben but now its a wait and see on his concussionThanks for listening to this sad tale of QB's
A few GREAT choices here. Personally there are some choices that jump out to me. In order, I would choose:a. Steve Smith for Tiki and TO. This would be a huge deal trading, in essence, WilLis and a late 1st for Smith. This is a HUGE deal for you if possibleb. Same goes for Holt. I like Smith a little more, but Holt is a great option.c. Norwood and the pick. Dunn will be 32 years old in January.d. MBarber and the pick. Barber is playing well and Julius is not exactly a bastian of good health.e. Drew and the pick. Many are higher on Drew than I am, but he looks to be a strong PPR option.The options c, d, and e are good options and make the trade for Tiki and TO a great one. It would mean that you basically trade Willis for TO and a young RB prospect, assuming the picks wash or close).I think any of these choices are very good and still do not inhibit your chances at the title while allowing you to build for the future.FYI, if there was an initial dynasty PPR draft today, this is the approximate pick for all of the players mentioned which will help in deciphering my stuff above:Smith 1.12Holt 2.03Willis 2.10Tiki 4.05TO 3.12Barber 6.01Norwood 6.01Drew 6.01The young RBs would all depend on personal choice, but all three have tremendous upside.Gandalf said:
