Okay-I will continue to hang on to my Denver RB duo.

The Steelers will get the nod again-They are at home!

I can't lie, I am a bit nervous about starting Griese and Berrian. I have to remember that they are playing Oakland this week.

I was planning on giving Crayton the number 3 spot-I thought that the Giants would be all over TO and Witten and Crayton would benefit most.

Other than that I agree with all of your selections!

I faced Brady in one league this past Sunday and WON! I am facing the team with Brady in my other league this week-GREAT NEWS-Patriots Bye Week!

You ROCK Jeff!

 

[JPeso]

That is a tough one, but I would do it. You upgrade both positions. Alge is out for a couple mroe weeks. I am not a Clemens believer as of yet. At lest Kitna should not cost you games. But, I do expect Bulger to bounce back for the remainder of the year. Kitna still would give you another option. You cannot really rely on Campbell.

Thanks Jeff. I think I am overvaluing Clemens. I also like Scheffler long-term, as he and Cutler seem to have great chemistry.

I like Sceffler, too. I just do not know if he will ever be a top ten TE. That is about where Miller is now. On Clemens, he did not look good last week. I do not think anyone that saw him thought he could be a star. If you Like Sceffler and Clemens, I wonder if you could get Kitna straight up for a 2nd. That would be about the right price.

Jeff, I got to 7-2 and still in first place. Thanks again!!

Are any of the Texan rb's worth having. I have Echemandu, but Dayne's on the wire.

Peterson and Lewis carried me this week, and I have Jackson, Benson, and Bennett as well. Benson's matchup is tempting this week.

I wonder about Dallas packing it in later on(resting guys). Our playoffs are weeks 15 and 16. Witten is the only tight end I'm carrying at the present time.

Do you still like Schaub,Garrard for backup qb's over guys like Losman, Clemons and Bollinger ugh..

Another team: Priest, MJD,Edge,.....Johnson likely Out? Also M. Smith on wire.

Anderson owner is 1st in his division and 2nd overall. I think Hasselbeck and Seattle will be more of a throwing team with Alexander becoming a shell of who he used to be. I take it you do not think Leinart will live up to expectations?

I feel like we have seen the best Leinart can do. But, to trade him now is selling low. Leinart has been in an ideal situation with two great receivers, but still not really startable.

Leinart is a guy, imo, that has more name value than value based on his fantasy production. How is the Favre owner doing? I respect your feel for Hasselbeck and think you should go with him if you like his upside and can acquire him reasonably.

Favre owner stated he is looking to get rid of a QB, he also has Brees, Clemens, and Quinn. We have a deep roster 22 players and he is looking for a RB. My RB's are:AD

K. Jones

Benson

B. Jackson

A. Eche

A. Hall

J. Wright

What RB would you look to offer or would a 2nd or 3rd round pick be worth it?

So, the other owner has three young QBs and Favre. He will want to dump the old man. I would offer Brandon Jackson for him. He is not worth any of your top three rbs. You could also offer him Leinart for Favre.

You would really give up Jackson for Favre?? I paid way too much in our auction to get Jackson so maybe I'm holding out more faith than I should in him still being the guy in GB. Do you feel strong about Halls chances in Denver like some of the other FBG's top brass? Since he is already deep at QB and has not started Favre once, would Hall or Wright with a 2nd or 3rd be an option?

Offer Wright and a 3rd and see where it goes. If you like Jackson, then offer a 3rd and one of the other two. Favre only helps for this year, so the hard part is not overpaying. Favre is playing great though. I am not a lover of Hall. I think he is just average compared to most around here. I am not a Selvin-lover either. With either Denver RB, it is only for this season. They will address RB in offseason.

Thanks for your help but could not get anyone to bite yet.Offers:

Leinart & J. Wright for Favre & A. Peterson (Chi) - no go, thought it might work as he has not played Favre once and he has J. Lewis and I have Benson

Leinart & Warner for Anderson- no go He countered to include me giving up Winslow for Shockey, I can not do that.

Griese and a 2nd round pick for Hasselbeck- no go he countered for me to give up Shaub, S. Rice and a 3rd round for Hasselbeck, no way I could do that, I think Shaub is close to Hasselbeck in value.

For 2008 and beyond would you rather have Warner & Leinart or Anderson, he is considering that trade?

I would drop Bennett for Dayne to get the pair of Texan RBs because I am not sold on Ahman. Having the pair helps. How many RBs do you start?I would not worry about Dallas sitting players unless the Packers lose a couple. Your backup QBs are much better than those you mentioned. I would try to get Priest in every league you can. LJ looks to be out for the season.

Sorry you are having some tough luck. Griese does get a good machup this week. On Anderson vs Leinart/Warner, I would probably lean toward the AZ QBs, but I know I could not rely on them to start every game in 2008 so you are not losing anything. With Anderson, you take a chance to win this year. Every owner wants to be in position to win. That is all you can ask for, and it is not an expensive price.

Sorry, when I reply I cannot see signatures. For me, even with a good matchup for Benson, it would be very difficult to sit either SJackson or Peterson. Those two give you a great chance to win every game.

Hey Jeff-

Do you like Kolby Smith or Priest Holmes better than Travis Henry?

Henry has legal issues, but its his health that has made a negative impact on his numbers.

I have Selvin Young and I believe or want to believe that he will take over due to both of Henry's current problems.

I have read that LJ has a broken foot. I just don't want to waste a slot that could produce-even on my bench.

I haven't started Henry in weeks and Denver looks bad.

Anyway-just wanted to know what you thought.

I'll be back with a WR question to bounce off you!

Thanks

Pick up Priest. Even though he has not looked good, I feel like Kolby is a bum.

Hi Jeff, I was offerred W.Parker for Derek Anderson in a redraft league. I am in the thick of the group but by no means a lock for the playoffs. I have Romo, Anderson and Warner for QBs and McGahee, T.Jones and Kev.Jones for RBs. I have Chad Johnson, Andre Johnson, Andre Davis, Lee Evans, Santana Moss, Winslow(no te), and Chris Henry for WRs. we start 1Qb 1RB 3WR and 1FLEX-rb/wr/te. I was thinking take the trade even though Anderson has a better schedule than Romo week 14-16. Then try to trade a RB for B.Ewards, Moss, Harrison, Wayne for the like. The Parker owner has TJHoush, should I counter for him instead?

Thanks

I like it for you because you are trading away depth players that will always be fantasy backups for two chances (Stanton and Rice) at finding a star. I like both of these youngsters. In two weeks Reggie Williams and Stokely should be afterthoughts with Javon coming back and Reggie Williams realizing he is ... Reggie Williams. On the Jags, Mike Walker is the guy I like (cheap) long term.

One quick follow-up question Jeff. The trade deadline ends this weekend, and no starting QBs are available on the waiver wire. should I be worried about what happens if Roeth gets hurt during the stretch of the season? Before I had Clemens, now I have Warner + Leftwich...

I do not think you should be worried. If so, look at dropping JT O for either Rattay or Btach to make sure you have a starter. I am not a huge Clemens fan as you can probably tell. Leftwich should be back by week 12 and Warner gets to play the NFC West teams a lot from here on out.

Thanks

Hey Dave,I would do that deal in a heartbeat. Romo will be fine. Also, no one knows when the Browns will insert Quinn into the lineup.

Jeff

Thanks Jeff, it is a done deal. Here is part B. Chad Johnson, should I keep him or try to get someone like Moss, Wayne, T.O., Edwards, Buress, Harrison. Cant get Housh. I offerred T.Jones and Chad for Wayne but was turned down. I was thinking of upping that offer to Kev.Jones and Chad for Wayne. I dont think I can trade Chad straight up for any of those. What about McGahee or Kev or Parker and Chad for Moss? What kind of package would you put together or should I sit tight? my rbs are now Parker, Mcgahee, KevJones and T.Jones. we start a max of 2 rbs and 3-4 wrs.

I would hang onto Chad Johnson for now. He will be a top five receiver again when healthy. No way would I give a good back and Chad for an equal receiver. There are many that like Chad more than I do, but his value should be above some of those guys listed (plax, harrison, braylon, and maybe TO). Johnson is still young and is a good dynasty receiver. I hate to say it, but you probably have to sit tight for now. Going forward, AJ should be back next week. With AJ, Evans and Chad, you will be set on receivers.

 

[bighead2000]

Jeff,

Start 1qb,2rb,3wr.......

Do you have any idea on D. Branch and his return?

Would you trade Schaub/Stokley for Eli Maning. We have a guy in our redraft league who has manning as a backup, and Walker 's out. He might bite, since his Wr's look pretty weak.

My current Qb's are Kitna,Schaub,Garrard.

I have Wayne,Plax,Holmes,Branch,Henry, Stokley,............I don't think Stokley see's my lineup again this year.

THis would free up a roster spot.

Another team: PIck two: Edge,Priest,MJd

Would you bench S. Smith for any of these: chambers, hackett,calvin Johnson

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Jeff,

Start 1qb,2rb,3wr.......

Do you have any idea on D. Branch and his return?

No matter what you read, I would expect Branch back in week 12, not sooner. When it is a foot injury, hard to come back from. Your WRs are good enough without him for a while.

I have Wayne,Plax,Holmes,Branch,Henry, Stokley,............I don't think Stokley see's my lineup again this year.

THis would free up a roster spot.

I like it. Schaub was playing well with AJ and AJ should be back soon. Not a huge deal either way, but you know Eli needs to lead the Giants into the playoffs. He has a huge monkey on his back and will be playing hard the rest of the way.

Another team: PIck two: Edge,Priest,MJd Edge and Priest, even though I am a huge MJD fan. I want to see him get good carries first.Would you bench S. Smith for any of these: chambers, hackett,calvin Johnson

As long as Vinny starts, start Smith.

Jeff,

I've got a trade I'm highly considering. I need to decide soon. Typical performance scoring measures (nothing unusual) - 1/10 rush/rec; 6/TD

I've been offered Laurence Maroney and Dwayne Bowe for Steve Smith and Donald Lee.

My current roster:

Matt Hasselbeck

Jay Cutler

Larry Johnson (out for season?)

Clinton Portis

Brandon Jacobs

Kevin Jones

LaDell Betts

Steve Smith

Braylon Edwards

Larry Fitzgerald

Santonio Holmes

Brandon Marshall

Jason Witten

Donald Lee

Rob Bironas

Dallas Cowboys

NY Giants

I'm worried about losing Larry Johnson. I was planning on dropping Donald Lee at some point anyway. Smith is probably going to sit on my bench after not having much faith in the QBs in Carolina. Is Maroney not enough for Smith? What do you think?

THANKS!

I expect Smith to play better, but without Jake Delhomme, Smith will not put up consistently great numbers. Vinny will help, but not like with Jake. I would do the deal if you only start three receivers. Starting Fitz, Edwards and Holmes is good enough. I would like it if you can get Bowe and Maroney for Smith and Lee. I am unsure on Maroney's prospects, but it is a good gamble in a redraft league.

Hello!

I am looking to add some RB depth in a 12 Team Non PPR Performance League. This league allows you to start up to 5 WR's if you choose to.

I am really trying to leave my starters in place so the caliber of player I can get is limited.

Current Roster

QB - Kitna, Huard, Losman

RB - LJ, Benson, Norwood, K. Faulk, S. Young, Kolby Smith, Adrian Peterson (Chicago)

WR - R. Moss, Roy Williams, L. Evans, S. Holmes, DJ Hacket

TE- Scheffler, Heap

PK - Folk

DST - Packers

Team is 8-4 (Double Headers). This is the last week for trading.

I am considering trading S. Young and DJ Hackett for Jess Chatman. Thoughts?

Thanks!

 

[dmac37]

Jeff,

For 2008 and beyond would you rather have Leinart or Clemmens. I'm thinking Clemmens could develop into a top QB with the weapons the Jets have, Brad Smith looks like he has a future.

I'm thinking of trading Leinart for Clemmens and throwing in J. Wright if I have to, what do you think?

We start 2 RBs and 2WRs with 1 flex RB/WRI'm considering a counter offer of Steve Smith, Santonio Holmes, and Clinton Portis for Adrian Peterson and Deion Branch.

then I would do that deal mentioned above. Even though I am a HUGE Peterson fane, I do not think I would make that move you are thinking about. There is a strong possibility Peterson does not make it through the season.

I will start by saying (as you know) I do not think Leinart can be a top 12 QB in coming years. Who knows about Clemens. Atleast it is a gamble to take. I would think you can make that trade straight up. Throwing in Wright is no big deal if that is what it takes. This looks like a low risk deal for you.

I like that deal for you. The Denver running game was hurt with the loss of Nalen for the season. If you make the move, consider picking up either Gado or Patrick Cobbs off of the waiver. I do not know which will be Chatman's backup. Chatman has looked decent.

Jeff,

One more, I can see J. Lewis being done or out of commission for much of this year and not with Clevland 2008. Who is a better option between Wright and Harrison for the rest of this year and can either be the guy in 2008 and beyond. I think with the Clev. offense clicking, a starting RB could do something on this team.

Hey,Harrison has played much better than Wright this year. He is quicker and more explosive. The issue is his lack of size. For this year, I would say it is close. Wright would get the carries if Lewis was out, but Harrison would see time as well. As for 2008, I expect the Browns to draft or sign a young back. The way the offense is built (other than the OLine), it is young (excluding Lewis). A young back drafted or signed would continue the building process. So, I do not think the 2008 starter is with the team if Lewis is gone. He could re-sign. I doubt there is much interest in him in the marketplace. His yards per carry average is not good.

The issue is that the Browns do not have a first round pick this year because of the trade with the Cowboys. So, they may have to re-sign Lewis because there will be a ton of weight placed on that 2nd rounder. Have to fill many holes. But, I see them signing a Chris Brown or Lamont Jordan-type of back.

Ok Jeff, Are you still liking Priest over MJD this weeK?

Our scoring is 6 for td's and 1pt per 15yds rec./rush in this league.no ppr.

yes. Tenn has a great rush defense and Denver stinks vs the run

 

[JPeso]

TIA Jeff,

Dynasty..team can win now..PPR league I am in 1st..

2RB, 3WR, 1Flex

GIVE: TO

GET: LJ, HWard

RB: S-Jax, Parker, Portis, MiBush

WR: Wayne, Boldin, TO, Coles, Reggie Brown

Obviously I would take a hit at my WR3 slot with no TO, and having to go with Ward, Brown, or Coles. Is it worth it to get LJ for next yr?

To be honest, I think you are getting a GREAT deal. The difference in PPR leagues is very little between TO and playing matchups with Ward and Coles. With LJ added to your RBs, you can get a great WR upgrade in the offseason. But, it will be nice having the RB depth.

 

[Sun Tzu]

Thanks in advance, Jeff. I have a PPR dynasty league trade question: I have McGahee, Edge, B. Jackson, K. Smith, Bradshaw, Pierre Thomas, and T. Hunt at RB and S. Smith, J. Walker, R. White, Moose, and Calvin at WR.

I've been offered Lee Evans and Musa Smith for Calvin Johnson. Your thoughts?

Musa really is not part of the decision, so it is Calvin versus Evans. This is very close. This is just my personal opinion, I think Calvin is worth more, but Evans offers more producivity the next two years. With your team, I might just keep Calvin because he is worth more and is still a young guy.

Hey Jeff----

My gut was right about Derek Anderson---THANK GOODNESS! Griese is out already with a shoulder injury.

I am going to drop Berrian...I don't want 2 Bears on my roster----Griese is next.

Anyway out of my options below who do you like best for the rest of the season. I will list their opponents for the next 4 weeks.

Deion Branch ----- CHI - STL - PHI - ARI

Issac Bruce ----- SF - SEA - ATL - CIN

I scooped up Bruce in my other league and he served me well today.

I plan on saying bye-bye to Griese if this injury is an issue. Matt Schaub is available --- how do like him as my backup to Anderson?

THANKS for the help!

 

[rascal]

Jeff,

I just did this trade:

I give:

J Galloway, A Green, and C Henry

I get:

MBIII, B Jackson, J Jones

That makes my roster:

QB: M Hasselbeck, B Roethlisberger

RB: W Parker, MBIII, T Jones, C Benson, E Graham, R Grant, B Jackson

WR: B Edwards, S Holmes, S Moss, R White, J Jones

TE: A Gates

K: N Folk

D: Titans

12 team redraft league that starts: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, RB/WR, TE, K, D

Scoring: 10/25 yards=1 pt, TDs=6/4 pts, 1 pt per 3 receptions

What do you think?

So now I'm a little thin at WR, but that is easier to address then RB, and I have a hord of RB depth to trade to get it.

Which RB would you trade for WR depth and who would you target? I like White, I just don't want to have to rely on him in case of injury, and I also don't like the idea of having just Holmes as my #2 as he has been nicked up lately.

love schaub with andre johnson back. on the receivers, I might keep berrian if grossman starts. He has some huge games with grossman under center. But, a healthy Branch is better. Who knows when that will be though.

I like the deal and would look to sell either Benson or Grant for a receiver. Benson produced decent fantasy points, because of the touchdown, but was largely ineffective. Grant looked great, but he is not a starter with your great RB corps. If trading either, I would look at one of the following:Andre Johnson (should be back this week)Lee EvansJavon Walkeror even Marvin harrison if you think he will be back. One other thought would be Hines Ward so you can start both Steelers if a great matchup.

 

[puddy]

Sounds like solid advice as usual.

They say Griese's shoulder injury isn't serious but he is not much better than Rex he is Good Brian & then Bad Brian.

I like Schaub to come back and get things going again if I need help for Anderson.

Here's to hoping I don't have to sit him this season!

Hope your team did well today!

I am now in 1st place in both leagues!

THANK YOU for EVERYTHING!
