I would drop Bulger if you can get Favre cheaper.
good luckpuddy said:Ok, week one lost Brady& Burleson
on both teams...good news is that I won in both leagues anyway
TEAM 1
QB
Delhomme @CHI
Pennington @ ARI
Cassel @ NYJ
I would take the chance on Cassel. The other two have very tough matchups
RB (2)
M Turner @TB
R Bush @ WASH
L Johnson v OAK
Chris Johnson @ CIN
Bush and Chris Johnson. If you get a flex, Turner is very good option.
WR (3)
TO v PHI
Jennings @ DET
Cotchery v NE
E Royal v SD
I would sit Royal until you see what he does with marshall back. Also, SD is tough on WRs.
DEF
Dallas v PHI ( Is Dallas going to be better this week or do I drop the Jets now and check the WW for the weeK?)
Jets v NE
I would look to drop Jets for a great matchup. Both defenses play great offense. Find a sof matchup.
KICKER ? (Please forgive me)
Phil Dawson do I stay with him or grab up Gould / Kasay / Lindel or Prater? Drop Dawson for Gould
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEAM 2
QB
Warner @ MIA
Anderson v PITT
Warner
RB (1) *** Also need 1 Flex in the RB/WR slot (Leaning towards a RB)
LT v OAK
Barber v PHI
R Bush @ WASH
T Jones v NE
I would start LT, MB3, and Bush ... what a good group of RBs you have.
I can drop Heath Miller, Keep Fasano and grab another RB---or drop Miller for another QB like Kitna?
Available are:
Kevin Smith v GB
Chris Perry @ TENN
Slaton v BAL
J Stewart v CHI
Ray Rice v HOU
drop Miller for Stewart. He could be huge later on.
WR (3)
R Wayne @ MIN
DeSean Jackson@DAL
Ocho Cinco v TEN (Is he going to bounce back or do i start scanning the WW?)
S Holmes @ CLE
Crayton v PHI
wayne is easy choice. I think you have to start Holmes, too. The last one comes down to Crayton vs Chad. With such a good team, I might risk it and go with Chad for one more week.

Thanks again for you time Jeff and for checking out both of my teams. As always I look forward to your thoughts and advice!
Patten ... he is their top WR now
Henderson is the posterboy for hit or miss. I expect patten and lance moore to be the top two wrs.
I made a preliminary offer of DeAngelo Williams+LenDale White+3rd Round Pick(2009) with the intent to bump that up to Williams/White/2nd Round or Williams/1st Round, but my offer was flatly refused and the Johnson owner sounds unlikely to deal him for anything in my price range. I wish I had drafted Johnson (I took Ronnie Brown in Rd 8 of inaugural 8-keeper draft and Johnson was stolen in round 9) or traded for him before the season, but I'm not sure my decisions were bad at the time. His week one role surprised me--I expected him to start off slow while LenDale White slowly lost carries over the season.

Sounds like a chance worth taking considering I was fortunate enough to win with Brady only scoring 10 pts for my team
RB (2)
M Turner @TB
R Bush @ WASH
L Johnson v OAK
Chris Johnson @ CIN
Bush and Chris Johnson. If you get a flex, Turner is very good option.
No Flex in this league so you still like Turner on the bench this week?
WR (3)

Okay here are my DEFENSE Options--
PHI @ DAL or DAL v PHI
KC v OAK
DEN v SD
CIN v TEN
SF @ SEA
Maybe somebody will drop a second D and I can send you an update - I know I didn't give you much to work with here

With Colston injury , I dropped Miller for Meachem (not to start yet but to have)
What I need from you here is who to start in my Flex RB/WR slot in this league from the RB's isted above
Would you go TJones or one of the WR's Listed below?

keep perry but this will be one more tough week for him. the schedule does get easier soon
You probably have to start Romo, even though Philly upgraded their DBs. Signing Samuel will help the Eagles DBs. I think Eagles will contain Romo, but he will still get yards and outproduce Ryan easily
it is a long season. the tide will turn a few times. just bide your time and he will get cheaper.

this is a tough one. Even Larry Johnson could have a huge game. Bush is the only one I think is for certain. For the last spot, it would be Johnson or Johnson. The more I think about it, LJ should have a big game. This might be his last chance to shine.

KC does not have a good defense, but if you pick them up, you are choosing to play OAK. I would wait and hope for a defense to be dropped.

Thanks again for you time Jeff and for checking out both of my teams. As always I look forward to your thoughts and advice!
two questions:redraft or keeper/dynasty?scoring?
Since you can keep indefinitely, I would keep SJax. He is still only 25. If you make this trade, I would want Wayne way more than Smith.
I like the Cassel and Warner bids look right, but I would prefer Collins for 1$ than Edwards. You have a very good team so you should not have to sweat this waiver bid too much.Drinkin Buddy said:
I would ride Jacobs for now. For the WR, Driver vs Royal is a tough one. I think I would go with Driver. This is one that could go either way.In the 2nd team, Graham is a no brainer. He should play well against teh Falcons. Even Kevin Smith had a good game vs Atlanta in week one.Hi Jeff! Thanks for the suggestions last week, eked out a 3 point victory!Couple of questions for a couple of teams:Team 1:Jacobs (@STL) or Graham (vs. ATL) as my RB2?Both are good matchups, and Gruden promised to give Graham more carries.and Driver (@DET), AGonzalez (@MIN), or Eddie Royal (vs. SD) for WR2?All three are going against some suspect pass Ds. Which do you think has more upside?Team 2ick 2: Graham (vs. ATL), McFadden (@KC), Felix Jones (vs. PHI), DeAngelo Williams (vs. CHI).Graham is a no-brainer, but the other three are all in committees and except for McFadden, going against some pretty stout Ds.Thanks in advance!
Sorry to be a bother again, but it's a pick 2 for the second team. I'm high on Graham but stuck on who the RB2 should be. My RBs were pathetic in this league because autodraft decided to go WR-WR-QB on me.I would ride Jacobs for now. For the WR, Driver vs Royal is a tough one. I think I would go with Driver.

you are no bother, sorry I missed it. I think you go with McFadden if healthy. If not, go with Williams.Sorry to be a bother again, but it's a pick 2 for the second team.

To be honest, you have a great team and neither trade helps you. You have three good WRs and should not need another unless you have an injury. I do not like either deal at all.hwjchim said:
I do not like it, only because the RB would not help your lineup much. The one thing is that I expect both Portis and LJ to have hue games this week, but disappoint this season. But, for the season, I do not like the deal.
I think you hold tight and pick up Collins (only if cheap) from the waiver wire. The other waiver qb to think about (and should be $1) is Brian Griese. He might start for Tampa for rest of season. Manning did not look good last week.
Start Lynch and Grant as long as Grant plays. Detroit allowed that HUGE game to Turner last week.
If Grant does not play would you go with option 2 above or option 3 above? Thanks...
If Grant does not play, I would go with BJaxoscarz said:
Buffalo defense is a better start than Minn vs Indy. Jax offense is much weaker and I would be afraid of Peyton going off. I like Walter much more than Baskett. I just never know what to expect from Hank. He is inconsistent. On the RBs, I expect Lynch to have 75-100 total yards with a 50% chance of a TD. The question is whether you thinkJohnson will get that. I think there is a good chance. Grant vs Det is a great matchup.
lj and johnson have great matchups. and i would start gore over turner
League 1:Calvin Johnson @ Packers or Dwayne Bowe @ Raiders this is close ..i think i would go with calvin since i think the lions will be down a lot early on
Honestly, I do not like Gaffney with Brady out .. also Jabar is nicked up, too. There will be better options in a week or two.oscarz said:
I like your WRs fine as long as the Hou/Bal game is not cancelled. If so, and you have to replace Walter, I think I like Devery and his matchup against the Skins. I really do not like any of the options too much, but Devery could hit the big play. On the Rbs, the bright side is you have good depth. Both teams start new QBs so we really do not know what to expect. I think Graham has the better chance of getting a TD while Johnson might have more yards. I think I would go with Johnson since he has the chance of making a huge play and getting you a win just on his own.You still have a good shot at winning it all even though it is frustrating for a few weeks. Hang in there.Cabby said:
You have some good players. The loss of Colston hurts. What I would advise would be to figure out which players you want to keep long term. I would want to keep these guys: Edwards, Trent BUF QB Garrard, David JAC QB no one will give you much for either so might as well hold. So, that leaves Jake. After a couple more strong games, there should be a few interested teams in acquiring him with the way the injuries have gone this year.Alexander, Shaun FA* RB Charles, Jamaal KCC RB ® Graham, Earnest TBB RB Hightower, Tim ARI RB ® Morris, Maurice SEA RB - Out Torain, Ryan DEN RB ® - Out Williams, Carnell TBB RB - Out Williams, Ricky MIA RB I would keep Charles, Hightower, Torain, and Caddy. All have high ceilings and could be fantasy starters in future.I would look to trade Graham (in a 14 teamer, RBs are in short supply). You should be able to get quite a bit. I would also look to trade MoMO after he comes back healthy and outplays Julius again. The other one I would look to move is Ricky. His age and injury history will not help you long term. I would cut Alexander (if he does not sign in next week or so). Breaston, Steve ARI WR Colston, Marques NOS WR - Out Driver, Donald GBP WR Henderson, Devery NOS WR Jackson, Chad FA* WR Robinson, Laurent ATL WR Thomas, Devin WAS WR ® Walker, Mike JAC WR The only one I might trade of this group is Driver. he is a free agent after this year and could be elsewhere in 09. I think you will be able to get quite a bit for him.Keep Shockey and the Dallas defense. What to look for in return? I would only want 1st round picks and young NFL players. Many times, I know the hard way, a team rebuilds and acquires 2nd round rookie picks that become marginal players. Those 2nd rounders are hard to connect on. If you cannot get 1st rounders, you might look for young players. At the WR position, I like guys like James Jones, Sidney Rice and Deion branch. All are undervalued right now. Also, in trades, I would try to get a young backup QB thrown in like Henne, Brady Quinn, Stanton or Russell. These are much better options than using a 1st on a rookie QB. The way I like to build the team is try to get a few future 1st rounders and take RBs with those picks. Take Qb and WR in 2nd. I want to have very good receivers (through the trades) with the only hole at back. Then, this is addressed through the draft. I hope all of this makes sense. Good luck. Also, if you rebuild, I would not let it be known. You will get BAD offers if so. I would just try to sell players to teams in need. Selling Jake to the team losing Brady will not be recognized as "fire sale". By the time you move Graham and Driver to contenders, it should not be difficult to find a team needing one more good player for a playoff push. You have a good nucleus with Colston and the young backs. You will be fine by next year. This is why I try to avoid having too many picks. It takes too long for THAT many rookies to be startable for fantasy. Also, teams will sell a WR like James Jones much cheaper now than next off season.
