Ok...this week both of my teams will go down to the wire. Its possible to win but it will be close.

Thanks to the crappy play of Rivers, Anderson and Leinart, I have to make a move as quick as possible for a new QB option for next week and so on....

The WW QB talent is thin to say the least.

Here we go...

Griese @ GB 34-286-2-3

Harrington v TEN 23-223-2

Trent Edwards v DAL 22-234-1-1

Warner @ STL 12-132-1

CPep on a Bye 5-75-2 (Ran for 3 TDs)--He could be valuable when he gets back wk 6

WEEK 4 RESULTS

Anderson 10-204-1-1

Rivers 21-211-0-2 (Pathetic, if I lose it is due to his performance)

Leinart 7-93-0

I receive 1 PPR so Griese, Harrington and Edwards at least would have earned me 20 plus points on receptions alone.

Due to mu RB issues, I grabbed Buckhalter earlier and he helped me out tonight. No doubt Westy will be back soon so I need to pick up another RB to replace him. I had to drop DeAngelo Williams to get him.



Should I grab DeAngelo back up or go after...

Justin Fargas (Bye Week 5)

Earnest Graham (Caddy is OUT-Pittman is OLD-right?--He is available as well)

Derrick Ward or Brandon Jacobs



I can drop Heath Miller for another WR

Here are my options...

Michael Jenkins (ATL)

Andre Davis (HOU)

or I can just stay pat w/ Wayne-Housh-Berrian and Crayton. I don't want to grab somebody that may not do anything again....

My REAL BIG issue is QB then RB...WR's look solid.

I didn't go with Crayton today b/c of the pinky, looks like it has healed

I hope you did well today!

I benched Crayton at the last moment but still have a good chance.On the RBs, Graham is the only one that is a great pickup. Ward looks great, but Jacobs is back. Fargas will split time in week six with Dominic Rhodes, who will be back. I would not mess with the WRs. Now, on to the QBs ....

I would avoid Warner until you whether he or Leinart will get all of the playing time. I am not comfortable with Culpepper yet when I see how poor he was throwing the ball. Yes, he scored fantasy points but I do not think you can rely on three rushing TDs every game. Also, Kiffin said he has not decided between McCown and Culpepper and to make matters worse ... they say JaMarcus is practicing well and not far away. This could be a muddy situation.

I think I would pick up Griese at least for one game. I am forced into playing Joey every game in one league and do not like the matchup against the Titans. The Titans are good on defense and had a good game against Peyton Manning.

 

[puddy]

Ok..I am going to dump Rivers for Griese. I want to hang on to Anderson, they have a tough match up this week v NE but he has outplayed Rivers and Leinart.

What do you think about Trent Edwards? Better than Anderson?

I agree with you on Graham. I think he and Pitman will split carries but he will get the goal line call.

My question is about who to drop to grab him.

I have

Reggie Bush

Maroney

Kevin Jones---Getting more carries each week

Buckhalter---Looked pretty good, the obvious filler for Westy. Westy's injury still a concern

Kenny Watson---Rudi is out until???

Who would you hang on to? Is Graham a better option than the guys I listed above?

Still don't know if Maroney is gong to play tonight....if he doesn't - easy choice WATSON.

If he does play - go with Watson or Maroney?

THanks--Good Luck to both of us tonight!

On Graham vs Pittman, that is a tough one to call. I would wait until after tonight and see if any news is said during the game about Rudi. Rudi and Westy both are on bye next week so it might be a coin flip which to drop. But, Buckhalter looked very good last night. Keep Anderson over Edwards. He plays the Cowboys this week, then has a bye week and losman is to be back in week 7. I like Griese for one or two games. But, never know how long he can hold onto the job if the Bears keep losing. On tonight, I would lean towards Watson only because I do not have a feel for how much time (if he plays) Maroney will get. I am starting Watson over Maroney in a PPR league tonight were I just need a solid game.

 

[rascal]

Jeff,

I'm 2-2 in a 12 team league that starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, RB/WR, TE, K, D. Traditional FBG scoring but .33 PPR.

Here is my team and their point totals to date:

Hasselbeck, Matt SEA QB 59

Roethlisberger, Ben PIT QB 58

Benson, Cedric CHI RB 32

Green, Ahman HOU RB (Q *) 24

Jones, Thomas NYJ RB (P *) 31

Parker, Willie PIT RB 54

Peterson, Adrian CHI RB (P *) 8

Edwards, Braylon CLE WR 65

Galloway, Joey TBB WR (*) 42

Holmes, Santonio PIT WR 52

Moss, Santana WAS WR 22

White, Roddy ATL WR 42

Gates, Antonio SDC TE 75

Folk, Nick DAL PK 35

Reed, Jeff PIT PK 40

Texans, Houston HOU Def 49

Titans, Tennessee TEN Def 39

My QB combo and defense combo are decent enough, especially when you analyze their schedule during the year. My WR's have dramatically improved after I traded for Braylon Edwards earlier in the year (before he went off). I traded for Thomas Jones two weeks ago thinking he should turn things around with his schedule. Obviously that didn't happen, and with Green being hurt and Benson sucking it my RB's are absolutely killing me. There is very little help available on waivers (Graham and Pittman are available but I'm too high on the waiver list).

What do you suggest I do? Should I package Benson and Green for a better RB (like what), or should I package Benson with one of my WR's for a better RB (like what)?

 

[puddy]

Okay...

Better long term option

Kevin Jones

or

Earnest Graham

Both are in RBBC, Jones/Bell & Graham/Pittman

or watch tonight's game - check out Watson (How long Rudi may be out)

and also check for info on Westy who should be able to return full steam week 6.

If Rudi and Westy are both able to return 100% week 6 - Do I keep Jones and dump either

Watson or Buckhalter?

I would see if you can package Benson and Holmes for Rudi Johnson. If not, think about Steven Jackson, even if you had to give up Benson and Thomas Jones. Both are buy low situations. If you get a nibble on either, I would try to see if the other owner will toss in the back (Watson or Leonard), if available.

I would keep KJones. In another week or two, he should be the full time starter. He offers more than Graham in my eyes. I owuld look to drop Buckhalter or Watson. The one thing we know for certain about these four rbs is that KJ is the only one that has a proven track record for producing great fantasy numbers.

Williams for Culter and A. Boldin. Would you do this trade or should I just stay with who I have.Thanks for your help.

I know you are suffering at QB, but McNabb has had one good game .. and it was against the Lions. I might look for a guy like Favre or Eli. But, I would try to keep your WRs in tact. that are studs.

Now he is coming back with Bowe and Culter for McNabb. Do you like this better then the other trade I would not be able to keep Bowe anyways but I might keep Culter or should I counter with Leinart instead of Culter. The team with Eli has no other QB's and the team that has Favre has Brees so I don't think he would trade Favre with how Brees is playing.

 

[bighead2000]

I spoke with you earlier in the year. Hope you are doing well.

I have running back concerns on my first place team. 10 team league, no ppr, Start 1qb,2rb,3wr's,te,k,def.

He countered with Culter & Bowe for Hasselbeck but then I would have to pickup another QB since Leinart bye is week 8 also. So would you do this trade and if you did who would you pickup as a FA QB for week 8 bye, some FA QB's Huard, Griese, Holcomb or McCown that is all that is out there. Or I have been offered Garrard for Cotchery then I would have Garrard for week 8 but I don't really like this trade.

[puddy]

Okay....I am now 3 and 1 in both leagues-not a bad start! Thank you for all of the great advice so far.

Since both Westy and Rudi have off next week. I want to dump one of them to grab up either

Brian Leonard who did nothing this week

Earnest Graham & Michael Pittman

Justin Fargas

Derrick Ward

Leon Washington

or I can dump Bucky or Watson for a WR

Andre Davis

Brandon Jones

or I can dump one of them for a 3rd QB

I have Anderson & Griese

on the WW are...

Cutler

Huard

Trent Edwards

Warner

Or I can just sit and do nothing.

Just thinking out loud and you my friend are a great sounding board!

Thanks again

I would keep and start Griese. I would also not consider dropping one of your two stud RBs. If anything, I would drop Buckhalter for Ward or one of the Tampa RBs.

 

[puddy]

Ok.....Bucky is gone and Graham is on my roster.

Now, I still have Kenny Watson should I hang on to him?

My other RB's are

Bush

Maroney

Graham

KJones

I was thinking about dropping Watson for Warner? He faces STL this week.

Cutler is also available but he was pathetic this past week, he faces SD this week.

Okay-Thanks again Jeff!

I will be back in the Superdome on Sunday hoping and praying that my offensive line gives Brees a chance to throw the ball. Not that it is our only problem...

 

[toppshelff]

Jeff, you guys have been invaluable during the off-season and in-season.

My 14 team, 0.5 PPR, start 2 RB, 2WR, 1 flex, 6 points for all TDS. Keep 4 league:

Get LJ/Garrard give Portis/Kitna/2008 2nd (after 4 keepers x 14 teams)

My backup QB is Roethlisberger. My RBs are LT, Gore, Portis, Norwood, Turner, Watson.

Should I do it?

Drop Watson for Buckhalter if you can. I just read some bad news on Westy. I would just play Griese over chasing one of those two guys

This is a tough one. Right now, I think it all depends on how much you like LJ and Kitna. I like LJ enough to do that deal, but I might be alone on that thought. It looks like your keepers would be: LT, Gore, LJ, and Turner even though you only start 3 RBs.

I like the talent, but the situation stinks. They have a four-headed monster and pass way more than they throw. I would look for one of the other three RBs first and maybe Grant next week. I did like how Grant was in the game at the end.

 

[puddy]

Hey Jeff...

Do you like Cutler over Anderson or Griese?

My RB's are

Bush-Maroney-KJones-Graham & K Watson until after midnight tonight when I dump him for Bucky.

Should I skip the Bucky grab for Cutler?

As always - I am a thankful NOLA girl!

Thanks again Jeff. I got Young. There may be a chance for a Benson for Mjd deal......kind of a low for low deal. Most seem to think MJd has more upside. D. Rhodes is another possiblilty for me.Also delhomme is my qb2....should he be dropped for any of these: Harrington,Huard, J. Campbell,Garcia. I have Kitna's bye is in week 6.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Hey Jeff...Do you like Cutler over Anderson or Griese?My RB's are Bush-Maroney-KJones-Graham & K Watson until after midnight tonight when I dump him for Bucky.Should I skip the Bucky grab for Cutler?As always - I am a thankful NOLA girl!

Drop Watson and Griese for Buckhalter and Cutler

Hey Jeff. I spoke with you earlier in the year. Hope you are doing well.I have running back concerns on my first place team. 10 team league, no ppr, Start 1qb,2rb,3wr's,te,k,def.S. Jackson hurt?, Caddy gone for year,Benson???, A. Peterson. Peterson has a bye this week.Rest of Team:Kitna, Delhomme,GarciaPlax,Wayne,S. Holmes, S. Moss,Welker,D. Williams, C.henry picked up for later.Folk , elam.Titans and VikesI have put a waiver in for Stecker, Young,Watson,Pittman.........I'm on the bottom of the waiver order being first place. I don't expect to get all these guys. Dropping one kicker,Williams,Henry,caddy.What's your thought here. TRade? thanks for the advice and your Footballguy Advice!!!

I think I will shoot for a waiver RB before going down the trade trail. I would look to pick up Pittman, Young, and Keith ... in that order. You should be able to get one of them. Sorry for the terrible luck at RB. The reason I am not a huge fan of Steck was his average play a couple of years back when Deuce was injured and before Bush. He still was not great. If you do not get any of these on the waiver, let me know and I will try to help with offers.

What about R. Grant down the road?

I like MJ Drew very much over Benson. He really took off last year with Garrard at QB. On the QBs, I do not have it in front of me, but the number one priority would be a good matchup in week 6 for a backup. Congrats on getting Young. He should be a decent start for at least one week.

Captain Jeff.

See rat league below.

Im trying to get Favre, he wants Willis and McNabb. I'd get a scrub like Furrey as a throw in. This is a TD heavy league, passing td's are 6. 1pt for every 40 yds and -2 for turnovers.

what do you think? to high a price. Im 2-2 and not desperate, but Im starting Garcia at QB this week and Dono looks injured and weaponless especially without Westy/LJ

I am a huge Favre fan, but this seems a little much for a TD-heavy league. Historically, Favre has not thrown a ton of touchdowns, but that was when he had a running game. Jordan's injurywould scare me away from dealing Willis.

thanks for the input. I am about done with Dono though and need to make a move at QB, this probably isnt the right move.

In TD-heavy leagues, the QBs I might look at are Hasselbeck, Roethlisber or Cutler who are all undervalued, imo. On the cheap, I like Pennington (has a couple 2 TD games), Anderson, and even Frerotte.

 

[supermark_28]

Jeff,kind of a small trade offer but wanted your opinion.

WR scoring: 1 pt per 10 yds rushing/receiving and 8 pts per td.

My current WR's: Harrison/Housh/SSmith/Bowe/Boldin/Welker/James Jones

I have been offered Branch for Boldin and I know it seems small but I'm getting worried about

Boldin's injury. Also,Harrison is hurting and Carr is killing SSmith right now.

Just wanted to get your opinion and thanks in advance!

You have great receivers. I see that you are in a small bind this week and I understand the move. I do like Boldin more than Branch, but Boldin will play a couple fewer games than Branch. I would probably do the deal because losing Boldin does not hurt any with the rest of your receivers.

Jeff,

Do you still think Young gets some good work for the Broncos this week?

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Jeff,Do you still think Young gets some good work for the Broncos this week?

I think the window has closed on him getting a lot of work. he will probably get similar touches as last week.

I think Rhodes will be a part of the RBBC at best as long as Jordan is healthy. I am interested to see an updated report on Jordan's back.

Jeff,

I have been offered Maroney for Travis Henry by the owner who got Young on the wire.

Should I take this? Is the recent wave of positive posts regarding Henry's ability to fight the suspension just putting off the inevitable?

Thanks in advance!

that is a tough one. With the week six bye for the Broncos, I would rather take a chance on Maroney. That is a very tricky question. Take the guaranteed production of Henry until/if he is suspended or maroney who is hurt and will split carries even then?I would try to wait until Wednesday or Thursday if possible. Maybe more will be known by then. I did read where Henry was going to take a polygraph test to prove his innocence.

Hey Jeff,

I was wondering about the NYG Def. They are still on the WW and I was thinking about picking them up. I think Houston's Def would be dropped to make room for them. Is this a good move for the rest of the season or should I hold onto Houston? Or drop someone else? My team is in my sig.

I would like to amend this comment for one week. The Giants will have a field day versus Joey, even though I like the Texans better long term

 

[bighead2000]

Hi Jeff, I look foward to your value plays every week. Cool man!!

Would you play either Wright(especially if Lewis is out) or Rhodes over Benson this week. I'm also holding Young for the time being.

My other question is about S. Moss. I have Wayne and Holmes on bye. Would you play Burleson or Northcutt over Moss. I would have to drop someone to get one of those WR's. Moss has been irritating at best so far. Players in Sig.

Thanks again for the help. I made it to 5-0 this week.

Drop Titans defense for Burleson would be my thought. And, I would drop Rhodes for Wright and possibly start Wright over Benson. I would keep an eye on the Lewis injury. But, Rhodes is not a great start now and Jordan will be back soon.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Jeff,wanted to get your opinion on a trade offer. I'm in a 8 team,2 vet keeper,1 '07 rookie setup.RB scoring: 1 pt per 10 yds rushing/receiving and 8 pts per TD.I have been offered Bush and a 3rd round veterans pick (essentially a 5th round pick in a re-draft league) for MBIII.My current RB roster (we start 3): SA/MBIII/AP/TJones/Foster/Michael Bush/Kenton KeithBush could potentially be a vet keeper for next year but I'm thinking MBIII could be as well.The Jones/Barber split is starting to make me nuts and McAllister's injury could open up the door for Bush.Thoughts? As always,any help or insight is appreciated!

the 8 points per TD and no PPR makes me lean toward barber. The Saint offense is in disarray. I think I would hold Barber since there is a good chance Julius is gone next season. This week will be a tough matchup vs NE, but the Cowboys should go to MB3 more when they start playing a bunch of division games back to back.

Watson is on the wire as well......I wonder about rudi's problems.

you have a good team, probably some bad luck. I would pass on that deal until Rudi comes back from injury. He is out for this week at least. It is a good deal for you, but Rudi would do you no good. So, I might tell the other owner you will do this deal next week.

Wright might be a better play in week 6, but Watson could start an extra game or two more than Wright. The Browns have a bye next week and Lewis is expected back in week 8.

Hi Jeff, how's the season treating you? 3-2 and 4-1 here. this is a 12 team redraft.

i have another trade for you to look at.

we start 1 qb, 2 rb, 2wr, 1flex-rb/wr/te , 1te, 1k, 1d

B Roethlisberger M Schaub

S Young D Rhodes R Johnson S Alexander F Taylor K Watson

C Johnson R Wayne A Boldin B Engram

O Daniels H Miller

D Akers

D Buccaneers D Steelers

I give Selvin Young, Wayne and Pit D for McGahee, Djax or Bruce (or hopefully better S.Moss) and GB D

I am really stuck on this. 3 should be strong RBs but WR would be very very thin. I have 3 strong wrs now if they are healthy and rbs have some potential. Pitt D has been and should be good, #1 in our league now. I am trying to shop Taylor and Rhodes but no good offers right now. MJD really hurt me last week as far as trades.

Thanks for the input

This is a close one, but I probably would side with Willis just because I expect him to get better (only one TD so far). But, I would only do the deal if you can get Santana in the deal. SMoss could start this week if need be, but Engram should play well, too.
