In the CP league I might have went overboard with the RBs

I have Tate , Michael Turner, and Isaac Redman.. On the bench ... My starters are Ahmed Bradshaw and Frand Gore.

When i look at that small stable of workhorses I thought crap I must have some crappy WR's but my WR lineup is Julio Jones, Greg Jennings, and Andre Johnson w/ Justin Blackmon who I think is going to have a huge year on the bench.

This is a 10 team league so I didnt think I'd be so stacked. However I am apparently a great drafter , if anyone needs help or advice just send 5 dollars to NickerJ's paypal account along with your question = )

Anyone else pick up Ogletree after the two TD performance against the Giants on Wednesday? I'm in a 16 team league where we were really scraping the bottom of the talent barrel and he was gone before halftime!

or
Michael Turner

I would definitely go with Turner. Richardson is going to be babied for the first few games of the season coming off surgery and is listed as questionable. He will be seeing limited carries for the first few games of the season at least until he is back to 100%.

Not sure whether to start Brandon Jackson, Jonathon Dwyer or Adrian Peterson in my flex this morning.

Peterson is hurt and the other two will be picking up carries for their injured counterpart.

I think Dwyer will get the majority of touches. I don't think Jackson is very good. I honestly think Dwyer is going to have the Steelers RB position on lock by the time Mendenhall comes back.

Yeah, but Dwyer is the only one 100% right now. Mendenhall is obviously recovering, although close to returning and Redman has an ankle injury he is trying to work through.

After some morning TV, I understand that Peterson will be getting 10-15 touches, Jackson will be getting 3rd down touches and Dwyer will be splitting first team touches, whatever that means.

Im starting to lead towards the injured Peterson if he will be getting that many carries

I'm loaded with Saints, so it wasn't a stellar day for me. Thankfully, Adrian Peterson came through. I still have a chance this week.

I forgot how much it sucks to have guys from teams you don't like.

Hard to cheer for Steve Smith to have a big day when it is Newton throwing him the ball.

I started Gerhart (3.1pts) and Reggie Bush (14.5pts) and sat Stevan Ridely ( 23.2pts) and Adrian Peterson (19.2pts).

I am up 126.2 to 73.00. I still have Steve Smith and Jordy Nelson playing now anf Ed Dickson and Cincy Kicker to play. Opponent has Rodgers playing and A.J Green, BenJarvus Green, Cincy TE and Steelers Def to play so I could be in some trouble. This is a weird league. I had Stafford playing and he had a horrible day but he still had 49.3 pts. I had Houston's def who put up 41pts. ( 3 INt, 1 fum recovery, 3 sacks , below 250 yds allowed. )

Not black QBs but more the style. I hate Tebow as well. Not a fan of the all run terrible pass/reading defenses QB.

I guess black QBs fit the mold more often than Whites.

So you'd be a fan of a QB who runs alot while being equally effective at the passing game?

Like Mike Vick in his prime?

It appears I will survive my debacle of playing David Wilson. Happy to see Peterson do well. If he's healthy my team can be a real beast.

Well despite my genius move of playing AP last minute, I fall victim to the mouth breathing idiot in Matt Ryan. Crushed me for 32 points this week and im now dependant on RunDMC to post 30 points for me tomorrow night
