yeah those were my thoughts as well...he didn't go for it, and replied with a Marshall for Bryant and McCoy for Spiller...nevahappen

 

[SVT]

had a guy propose this trade to me.

He sends: Victor Cruz & Bilial Powell

I send: Larry Fitzgerald & Doug Martin


I'm hesitant to send over my #1 pick in doug martin for a committee back in Powell. But I do like Cruz for Fitz.

hmm, any thoughts?

Powell is in less of a committee now than he was last weekend with Goodson done for the year now. Only other one left is Ivory and we know he cannot stay on the field.

Sure Cruz is an improvement but Martin is one of the few volume backs left in the league and he is top 10 in rushing yards with a bye week already. A volume back is so hard to get and I don't see that changing this year with their QB situation.

Gronk was cleared by ALL doctors to play.....I have Jordan Cameron as well....do I start Gronk if he plays?

I think if one is looking for a TE that Jordan Reed from redskins is a decent play. He's not graham, Davis, or Gonzales but looked good last week. I got Gonzales and hoping with jones and White out that he's gonna see a lot of action

Two weeks ago I would have said no. Cameron has cooled quite a bit since the QB went down for the year so I probably would now. The only TE that someone who drafted Gronk might have wound up with that I would be starting over him would be Julius Thomas.

My TEs have only be getting a few points each week so I don't have the problem of deciding if he goes in my lineup.

On a side note. Doesn't it suck that Fantasy Football is illegal in Louisiana because the legislature refused to reclassify it as gaming?

Well, you learn something new everyday. Did not know that.

I was really pissed when I went to join a big money online fantasy football sight years ago and saw that I couldn't because I lived in Louisiana.

the latest on Gronk isn't very reassuring....I'm starting Cameron for now until something more definite is released on Gronk.

We will know for sure in 10 minutes. I am looking for him to play but with all the hype he will probably be a bust.

 

[SVT]

said he will play, so I'm starting him....could regret it, but the upside is high.

If Jacobs doesn't play tomorrow night I'll be proper F&(k€D cuz my starters aren't doing squat. Swear it's roller coaster every week with ones who are usually pretty consistent fantasy players

How screwed am I if I picked up Mike James and I don't even own Doug Martin?

I'm HOPING I get James Wednesday off waivers

I'm surprisingly sitting at 4-2 (managing my wife's team from work). We are 11 points ahead this week with our opponent having Brandon Jacobs left to play. He is listed as Questionable but unlikely to play. So we're hoping to be 5-2 after tonight. We are seriously hurting at RB but been lucky so far. Really waiting for Harvin and Crabtree to get back. Drew Brees, Vernon Davis and Frank Gore have really been outstanding! Had a couple offers for Harvin already but I have too many Niners on my team I need him for the bye week.

Here is our team:

Joe Flacco-QB
Gio Bernard-RB
Frank Gore-RB
Steve Smith-WR
Anquan Boldin-WR
Vernon Davis-TE
Dallas Clark-Flex(Added him after trading Tony Gonzo for Gio B.)
Titans-Def
Phil Dawson-K

Drew Brees-QB (Bye Week)
Marlon Brown-WR
Micheal Crabtree-WR
Broncos-Def
Percy Harvin-WR
Brandon Bolden-RB
Kenyon Barner-RB

 

[SVT]

3-5 now lol

Who should my FLEX be: Ashlon Jeffery or Giovanni Bernard?
