I'd rather have Richardson than any of the WR's you have on your team. I'm not knocking your WR's in anyway, I just think that Richardson is that good and you have an abundance of WR depth making one of them expendable.

It would definitely make me want to do the trade even more but everyone here already knows how I feel about the deal, hahaha.

Who do you guys like for a flex spot between these 2 (PPR league):

Alex Green @ Rams
Denarius Moore vs. Jags

I'm leaning towards Green just because I prefer RB's in flex spots, but Moore's at home & he had a great game last week.

EDIT: And if you prefer Green, then who would you prefer in WR2 spot (we can only start 2): Moore or Steve Smith (CAR) vs. Cowboys? I hate only being able to start 2 WR's, such a juggling exhibition every week, especially in a 10 team league with sooo many options available at the position.

I'd probably start Green at flex, and Smith at WR since it is a PPR league and Carolina will be throwing a lot.

With Jamal Charles on his bye week I need to start one of these two, Mikel Leshoure at Chicago or BenJarvus Green-Ellis vs. Pittsburgh. Not great options since Pittsburgh and Chicago both have top 5 rushing defenses statistic wise.

Or should I go pick up Jonathan Dwyer who is starting against Cincinnati as Rashard Mendenhall and Issac Redman are both ruled out as he is getting the start. Only reason I brought up Jonathan Dwyer is Cincinnati has been atrocious at stopping the run. As crazy as it might sound I'm leaning towards Mikel Leshoure against Chicago. Thoughts?

[jeep991]

Who should I start, Andre Johnson against the Ravens or Kenny Britt against Buffalo? The Ravens are missing some guys due to injuries but the Bills defense has been terrible.

EDIT: I'm leaning towards Britt as Johnson hasn't done much this season and Britt is finally getting healthy.

Trade:
Adrian Peterson
Andrew Hawkins

For:
Roddy White
Kendall Hunter

I have Peterson, McFadden and Martin at RB already and both DMC and Mart have played their bye weeks, while Peterson's is still coming. Also Peterson's upcoming schedule looks nasty (ARZ, TB, SEA, CHIx2, GBx2, HOU, STL upcoming).

On the other hand, Roddy is currently playing his bye week and has a much nicer upcoming schedule (NOx2, TBx2, DET, CAR).

Thoughts?

Who do you have at WR? What's the league format? 2 WR 2 RB 1 WR/RB?

I would probably go for it then. The Falcons don't face very many tough pass Ds for the rest of the season and you need help at WR.

[Sainters7]

For anyone struggling this year, I'll give you a piece of advice. I don't care how bad the team they're playing is, if a QB or starting RB of a team playing the Saints that week is an FA, TAKE HIM. You'll feel like you have Aaron Rodgers for the week.

[Machiavelli]

Dang, who would have thought Fitzpatrick would greatly outplay Eli this week?

Same could be said for anyone facing the Titans.

Chris Johnson won me my game this week despite Dez Bryant and Trent Richardson trying their best to lose me the game. Also a huge 75 point win in the CP B league over FurnaceFace

[Hustle]

Need some advice from CP! I put up 123 points this week but the guy i was up against put up 127.4 (Vincent Jackson and Drew Brees are evil). Luckily I can pickup a WR tonight to start and make up the 4.4 points for the W. My choices are:

Burleson or T. Young against the Bears defense
Bennett or Hester against the Lions defense.

Haven't had a chance to watch much of the NFC North this year so I'm not too informed about how either team has played this year (although I do know that the Bears have a great run defense). Gut feel tells me that Detroit will throw a bunch and that Burleson might get a heavier number of looks due to the coverage on Megatron.

Thoughts??

I'd go with Hester , my guess is the Lions will double up on Marshell so Cutler will try and hit Hester deep a couple times.

[Hockeyguy15]

The only time Burleson has gotten less than 4.4 points this year was against the 49'ers, my pick would be him.

Agreed, Burleson is far from flashy but he's consistently ok. He should put up 4.4 points easily.

[rubecube]

This would be a great night for the Lions' D to meltdown for me. I need a huge night from Marshall.

[DropIt]

Burleson is my pick too. Hester is a #3 option to Burleson's 2. Also it doesn't matter how many people are on Marshall Cutler will throw him the ball or check down to Davis or forte. Lions will be throwing a tonne and you can bet Johnson, a notorious bears killer will be attracting safety help all day

[the-rasta-masta]

What is everybody's take on Randall Cobb vs. Jeremy Kerley? I picked both of them up on the waiver wire a few weeks ago in anticipation of my receivers upcoming bye weeks, and now that my regular receivers are back for the rest of the season next week (Calvin Johnson and Brandon Marshall, and also have Demaryius Thomas in my flex position), I don't need Kerley or Cobb anymore so I am looking to trade one of them. This is a 5 player keeper league though, what kind of potential does Cobb have?
