Please don't do that. Chris Johnson is one guy you should never bench, regardless of the matchup.

That does sound pretty thin at QB, but I'm not a big fan of Eli Manning, so I am not entirely sure I'd do that.

By the way, how the hell did you end up with Chris Johnson, Ryan Mathews AND Jamaal Charles?!

It's an 8 team league. Three of us are hardcore football guys, two guys are pretty casual, two guys are brand new, and one guy plays every year but has no idea what he's doing.

Charles was picked something like 64th overall. I have no idea how he lasted that long. I picked two RBs right off the bat (Johnson and Grant) and then filled out my WRs and starting QB and somehow he was still there.

On another note, all my waiver pick-ups went through. Got McFadden, Brandon Jackson, and Austin Collie.

It would seem that way...but Jerome Harrison killed the Chiefs for 286 yards and 3 TD's the last time he played thm. I think KC is better on D now, but 100 yards and a TD is still pretty attainable in that game. CJ2K is a stud, but Pittsburgh, seldom allows 100 yard runners, and unless he breaks off a long one. In two career games vs the Steelers he's been held to totals of 68 and 70 yards with a single TD. IMO if one guy has a gimme 16 points and the other is in tough to get me 8....I could keep Johnson playing, but than I'm sending Mendenhall to the bench...and to be frank I like him against Tennessee's line since they had trouble with McFadden last week.

So in a league with my buddies, with a flex position, I've got 3 spots open for 4 RB's. Who do you bench this week?

Frank Gore vs. NO
Ced Benson vs. Balt
Jamaal Charles @ Clv
Jerome Harrison vs. KC

I forget something. I would have second thoughts about that one because he torched the Ravens last year on the ground. He had runs of 120 and 117 last year against them.

In my one league I offered some dude Randy Moss for Phillip Rivers. This guy has Peyton Manning as his starter, and plays Nate Washington, and Mario Manningham as his starting receivers. To boot this league only awards 4 points per TD pass, 1 point for every 25 yards passing for QB's. He turned down the offer.

Just thought I would let you know.... most leagues dont have vincent jackson on any roster. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5579273

He could be back by week 5 with the vikings or rams. If you have a spot or someone you can drop to pick him up you might take a chance here.. I know I did.

I picked him up right after the draft, then replaced him with Brandon Jackson when Grant went down.

If he's still out there after this weekend, I may have to let another receiver go and take a chance.

So this guy who declined my Moss for Rivers trade eventually bit on another deal to get Thomas Jones and CJ Spiller for Rivers. The new guy didn't even hesitate to offer me that deal. But in a league where my weekly waiver claims included Steve Breaston, Eddie Royal, and Mohammad Massaquoi and the only QB option is Matt Moore...I think I'll trade for one of the top 5 QB's.

Ok I am going crazy figuring out my RB2 and WR2

Steve Jackson or Joseph Addai

Percy Harvin or Hakeem Nicks

Right now I am leaning towards Jackson and nicks

Any thoughts?

Until the Raiders run defence proves that they can stop the run, I'd be starting anyone against them, especially Stephen Jackson. I'd also go with Nicks too, seems like he's the new Plexico Burress for Eli to go to in the red zone.

Bench them both! I'd say Garrard, he's at least a serviceable NFL QB.

Yeah, Garrard. He has three decent WRs to throw to plus he can dump to Jones-Drew as needed.
