Hey I'm in a deep 12 team dynasty, TD's 6 1 Point per 25 passing and -2 INT's and it's a PPR league.I may be able to aquire 1.2 and Big Ben for 1.9 and Peyton Manning. Other QB's include Leinart and Stanton etc. My QB's now are Peyton and Rivers, so Rivers and Big Ben may be suitable next year.My WR's are AJ, Fitz, Evans, Cotchery, Holmes, S. Rice, then a bunch of other guys. Would you make this trade or stay put?

This is a tough one. I would lean toward staying put at this time ... at least until the season is over and we know more about which players are coming out.

Jeff,

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to help me with my rosters. I placed 1st in one league and 3rd in the other (at least recovering my buy-in), so it has been a pretty nice year. Hope yours was as good.

Merry Christmas!

Just aquired Vince Young in my dynasty, for Devard Darling (Bowe owner) and Ruvell Martin. So my QB's are now - Peyton, Rivers, Leinart, Young, Stanton - Do you see Leinart or Young ever becoming a viable fantasy backup?By aquiring Vince Young, does the Manning and 1.9 for Big Ben and 1.2 look better? I'd probably be able to get Crabtree at 1.2

I hear you. My fear is that Manning gives you stability for years. I think I would feel better if I thought more of Ben as a fantasy QB. There are several I like more. I would think it could be a great deal for you if you can turn Ben into an upside QB like Rodgers or even Palmer or Ryan

What would you offer him as a fair trade for both sides. I know I will have to give up S. Jackson in the deal. I have picks 1.04 and 1.05 in the up coming draft but we might be going to a dynasty league in 2010 so don't know if I want to trade these 2 1st round picks.

He needs a QB and it looks like you will only keep one. I would look at something like:Rivers (assuming you do not plan on keeping him), SJax, and either Addai or Brown (whichever you like least) for Peterson, and either Chester or a different RB you like. I think you would be giving more than what fair is, but it usually takes more to give up an injury-plagued RV for the top one. If you think it is too much, try without the QBs.

Tampa has best matchup of the defensesI like Thomas Jones ... i would like Choice more if MB3 is ruled out ahead of timeAt WR, I like Driver the best vs Det. For the last one, only Walter looks to have a good matchup and want to play for something/prideI would go with Romo. Warner has not been hotDaniels has been hotPrater should be kicking oftengood luck this week

Hey Jeff

With Shockey out as TE for NO against Carolina would you go with him or Daniels vs Chicago?

Also I see that Boldin Wr is most likely out vs Seattle. Who do you like better Walters vs Chicago or Breaston vs Seattle?

Also again at RB Choice vs Philly (60% rain) or T.Jones vs Miami also with rain?

Lastly they are calling for rain on Sunday at Philadelphia. Do I still stick with Romo or do I play Warner vs Seattle and risk him coming out of the game earlier at some point but hoping he puts up big numbers before he comes out?

I would prefer to sell Lewis, but the 2nd makes it a decent deal for Brown. Even though he has not been a top tier RB, Brown is still young

With Shockey out as TE for NO against Carolina would you go with him or Daniels vs Chicago? Daniels should be decent.

Also I see that Boldin Wr is most likely out vs Seattle. Who do you like better Walters vs Chicago or Breaston vs Seattle? I like Walter. The Bear DBs have not been good. Also, who knows how long the Cardinal starters will play

Also again at RB Choice vs Philly (60% rain) or T.Jones vs Miami also with rain? This is a tough one. I think I would go with Choice is Barber is out, and Jones if MB3 plays.

Lastly they are calling for rain on Sunday at Philadelphia. Do I still stick with Romo or do I play Warner vs Seattle and risk him coming out of the game earlier at some point but hoping he puts up big numbers before he comes out? I would play Romo. Warner is very risky, imo

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Westy, Slaton,Turner,Jones-Drew..........need 3



Westbrook, Turner, and MJD look to be the best. Slaton faces a tough Bear rush defense

Calvin, Wayne,Bryant........need 2

Calvin and Bryant should play the whole game, not Wayne .. plus the Colts face Tenn

Carlson or Z. Miller



This is very close. Both have been hot. I think I would go with Carlson since Miller has had trouble finding the endzone

Thanks...........

I love Westbrook, but he will be 30 this year. I do not think it is worth giving up Jennings. I love Witten, but think Roy Williams is a fraud. He cannot be relied upon as a fantasy starter ... which is what you would be buying.On the QBs, I think it is very close. The one thing Cutler has is two top notch receivers. I would see who they bring in as coach before trading him away. I think Rivers' great season was partly due to the LT injury and less reliance on the run game.

On your keepers, I think I would prefer to keep another QB (just to trade) or Cotch over Lewis. I just am not a fan of his future.

Hi Wannabee,

Well the updated salary cap values for my league came out and I'm in a tight spot. I have to cut my salary down to $90. Here is my roster:

Drew Brees $18

Maurice Jones-Drew $28

Marshawn Lynch $19

Darren McFadden $11

Jonathan Stewart $8

Calvin Johnson $21

Larry Fitzgerald $21

Lee Evans $7

Antonio Gates $8

Titans D $2

Rookies are typically $2 for the first year, but that shouldn't factor until next season with my college guys.

One thing I'm considering is making a move for Matt Ryan $7 and the #1 overall for Brees.

I need help though so any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

The $11 you save for Brees would not help much. I think might keep Brees, but definitely MJD, Calvin, Fitz. Adding the Tenn def makes it an even $90. The good part is that there will be some good players tossed back in and will be much cheaper this time around. With this core, you would not have to add much in the draft.On the trade for Brees, it would actually be Stewart, Ryan and the pick for Brees, if I read it right ... since you could now keep Stewart. How much would that 1.01 cost in terms of cap?

I forgot to mention that we start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs and 1 Flex (RB or WR)I like my roster of Brees $18, MJD $28, Calvin Johnson $21, Larry Fitzgerald $21, and the Titans D $2. That would be $90. I'd hate to part with Lynch but Brees probably makes more sense because he's a top QB and still young. Thought the trade for Matt Ryan might make more sense... with the 1.01 I could draft Shonn Greene or Michael Crabtree (or any other rookie WR) who are available. So it would really be Stewart, Ryan and stud rookie for Brees. Maybe I'm still better with Brees though?All rookies are $2 their first year in the league. Then they adjust to whatever their current market value would be (as set by sportsline).

The trade is tempting. One thing to sway you toward the trade would be if you thought that there would be other decent QB options available in the draft just because they were too expensive. Since you have such a good team, I would be hesitant to rely solely on Ryan. I like him better as a QB2 at this time.

Since you have such a good team, I would be hesitant to rely solely on Ryan. I like him better as a QB2 at this time.

There would be good QBs available in the draft, but probably not top ones. More like Rodgers, Delhomme, Favre, etc. Basically, I think I'm still better off with keeping Brees because a top QB can make your team a playoff contender even with nothing else. With Brees, I'd be in any game, then add in MJD, RB2, CJ and Fitz and my team should be competitive with ANY team in my league. I think giving up Brees for Ryan is enticing, but my be pennywise and pound foolish. Or whatever that expression is. Another alternative that would allow me to keep Brees is to keep Lynch instead of Fitz or CJ. RBs are favored in our scoring system, so that might make more sense. With that in mind, what about keeping Marshawn Lynch $19 instead of Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald. Maybe I should go with keeping Brees, MJD, Lynch, and Calvin Johnson. Though with the flex position, we can start 4 WRs. This is complicated, but my thought is that our initial idea of keeping the 2 top WRs over Lynch who is a tier 2 RB makes more sense.

I think giving up Brees for Ryan is enticing, but my be pennywise and pound foolish. Or whatever that expression is. Another alternative that would allow me to keep Brees is to keep Lynch instead of Fitz or CJ. RBs are favored in our scoring system, so that might make more sense. With that in mind, what about keeping Marshawn Lynch $19 instead of Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald. Maybe I should go with keeping Brees, MJD, Lynch, and Calvin Johnson. Though with the flex position, we can start 4 WRs. This is complicated, but my thought is that our initial idea of keeping the 2 top WRs over Lynch who is a tier 2 RB makes more sense.

I would keep those WRs over Lynch. I am not a fan of his at that price versus others that might be available.

I would keep those WRs over Lynch. I am not a fan of his at that price versus others that might be available.

Thanks Jeff. I decided to trade Lynch for the 1.1 re-stocking pick and now have BOTH the first and second picks overall in the re-stocking draft. With McCoy turning pro (announcement likely tomorrow), I can keep him at $2 for next season. This gives me a roster of:Brees $18MJD $28McCoy $2Calvin Johnson $21Larry Fitzgerald $21Then I get the first 2 picks of the re-stocking draft to fill my team with two solid players, probably another stud WR and #2 type RB. I'm very happy with my team heading into next season. I might win back-to-back championships, which has never happened in the history of our league!!

Looks very good. RB2 is your only hole and you can easily fill that in the draft.

 

[Gandalf]

Looks very good. RB2 is your only hole and you can easily fill that in the draft.

Thank you!I have $40 to fill 13 spots (we must have 10 starters and 8 reserves). How would you allocate the remaining $40? Here's my current thinking. I have the 1.01 and 1.02 picks in the re-stocking draft. This means guys like Westbrook $25, Forte $27, Addai $16 might be available. Would you step up and draft one of these guys, that would leave me with $20 for the rest of my lineup. Kickers and defenses are $1-2 and most of my bench could be filled with these types of players. So I'd have $20-ish for 12 spots which would be consistent with that. The other way I could go is to draft two $10 RBs. Darren McFadden is $11 and Jonathan Stewart is $8. Is it better to have a Westbrook type or these two? I kind of like the McFadden and Stewart duo because I might be able to keep one of them next year. As we know the top 10 RBs change quite frequently because of injury so it's nice to have depth there.I guess in terms of total roster how would you allocate dollars? I'm thinking that I'm heavy on WRs but then again, my WRs are awesome. Any additional thoughts?Best,Gandalf

I would spend more on quality players and then use the leftover for depth. There really is not too much difference between an average priced WR and a cheap one, so I would prefer an expensive (top tier) player or two then a bunch of high upside guys that you can swap out on waiver wire. I would avoid the WRs from 25-45 and take upside guys late, and cheap. Same for RBs.

10 team 8 player keeper league standard scoring with no PPR. Start 1 QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 Flex, 1 TE, 1 K

My Team Planned keepers in Bold

QB J. Culter, P. Rivers, M. Bulger

RB's S. Jackson, J. Addai, R. Brown, J. Lewis, Caddy, J. Harrison, J. Stewart

WR's R. Moss, G. Jennings, J. Cotchery, K. Curtis, B. Engram

TE's C. Cooley, O. Danials

Trade that has been offered to me.

Brian Westbrook, Roy Williams, and Jason Witten for Ronnie Brown, Greg Jennings, and either Cooley or Daniels.

What do you think of this trade for me? I don't know if I really would like to have a WR and TE from the same team.

Also would you rather have Culter or Rivers as your starting QB? I seem to be getting offers for Culter but none for Rivers and Rivers scored more points then Culter in our league.

I love Westbrook, but he will be 30 this year. I do not think it is worth giving up Jennings. I love Witten, but think Roy Williams is a fraud. He cannot be relied upon as a fantasy starter ... which is what you would be buying.On the QBs, I think it is very close. The one thing Cutler has is two top notch receivers. I would see who they bring in as coach before trading him away. I think Rivers' great season was partly due to the LT injury and less reliance on the run game.

On your keepers, I think I would prefer to keep another QB (just to trade) or Cotch over Lewis. I just am not a fan of his future.

Turned down trade but did trade Rivers for a 3rd and 6th round pick only team that needed a QB so I took what I could get for a player I would have cut anyways.Would you trade the 1.04 or 1.05 for M. Colston?

Thanks

That is a tough one. It comes down to either Lewis or Cotchery and the pick or Colston. I think I would do the 1.05 pick for Colston. I would probably include Jamal Lewis in the deal and ask for a pick later in the deal. Then, Cotchery could be kept if you make one more deal. If not, no big deal ... release Cotchery. Colston helps your WRs as a good WR3.

KJ for sure. He is somewhat proven and a free agent this spring. I think I would lean toward Hillis just because he looked so good before injury.

That was my thought until he seemed to be inactive or not playing on offense most of the 2nd half of the year for the Bears. Any insight on why he was? I know at one time they mentioned special teams but he started to contribute there.

I think the special teams was because Peterson and Wolfe are good on special teams and they were giving Forte almost all of the carries anyway. On the bright side, Jones is healthy going into free agency.

He did not go for the colston trade.Just reveived this offer J. Lewis for his 6th round pick. Would you take a 6th round pick for him, the other owner said that was the highest pick he would give for Lewis. I have been trying to get a 3rd round pick for him with no luck. I will probably cut him anyways so don't know if I should take the pick or not. We do not have to pick our keepers until Aug 1 so maybe I should just wait.

The only issue is risking it past the April draft. If the Browns do not take a RB, he could fetch more. BUt, if they draft a RB in 1st or 2nd, than his value could be zero.I would probably do the deal and not risk it. The Browns are not a good team and should struggle again in 09.

 

[BusMan]

Jeff,

Thanks for the great work in this thread and throughout everything FBG does.

I have one week to decide my three keepers in my local 12-team, roster 15, standard non-PPR scoring league. Starting lineup is QB, RB, RB/WR (flex), WR, WR, TE, DEF, K.

I get to keep three of these studs:

DeAngelo Williams

Steven Jackson

Marion Barber III

Calvin Johnson

Brandon Marshall

Steve Smith

I've done some analysis and it seems like all six of these guys would be long gone through the first three rounds of a 12-team redraft in 2009. I don't think it makes too much sense to keep all three RBs, despite the fact that they'd have the highest ADPs. Instead, I want to try to think long-term: it seems like WRs stay good longer than RBs.

I'm pretty much set on keeping Calvin Johnson. I imagine I could keep him around the next 10 years, easy.

After that it gets tougher. Do I keep DeAngelo after his explosive second half? Do I expect a bounce back, studly year from SJax? Or do I keep The Barberian despite his timeshare and self-destructive running style?

I'm a Broncos homer, so I'm tempted to keep Marshall. He has some chinks in his armor but with Cutler around he should be a WR1 for a long while yet. And then there's Steve Smith, the uber-stud. Its hard not to keep him.

Suggestions/Advice/Strategy thoughts?

With a gun to my head this second I think I'd go: DeAngelo, SJax, Calvin. Is that doable? Can I not go wrong with any three of these?

Apologies in advance for the numerous questions---basically I'm just interested in your take.

Thanks,

BusMan

That is a great team. I think I would keep Calvin and SJackson for sure. Jackson has had injuries, but is a stud. With DWill only have one great stretch, it makes me think I would rather have Barber or Marshall. Both DWill and MB3 are in committees and I would prefer Barber's proven production. But, I could see keeping Marshall instead. I would try to move at least one, maybe two of these guys for 1st or 2nd round picks if possible.

14 team Dynasty league we can start 3 RB's Scoring is standard with no PPR.

My RB's S. Jackson, LJ, C. Benson, Portis, C. Perry

His RB's D. Williams, Norwood, K. Smith, F. Jones, P. Thomas, M. Bush

Would trading Portis for K. Smith, RB Det and the 1.08 be a good trade for me. Would I be getting enough for Portis or with getting a young back be enough. This team has shown interest in Portis but have always throught he did not have enough to get him from me and he told me he would not give up higher the the 1.08 and another player for Portis.

I think any deal to get Rodgers you would have to give up McNabb and for Fitz have to give up Wayne ... just to start with. These moves would make your team younger. I do think you would have to probably give up Portis. I would say LJ, but no one seems to value him much anymore. If you do not want to give Portis, you might offer both LJ and Benson. Something along the lines of:McNabb, Portis, and Wayne forRodgers, Sproles, and FitzIf you do this deal, I would encourage you to pick Matt Flynn off of the waiver wire just in case .... Since you are a Packer fan, you know Rodgers' injury history more than I .... It will help cover not having a strong QB2.
