Keep Kerley. He's the defacto number one WR for the Jets since Holmes went down.

[DropIt]

5 teams? I would probably trade Cobb for the best I could get. Cobb likely isnt worth keeping but could get you a pretty good player in return for someone hurting for a WR.
a 5 team league i would imagine that Kerley is hardly even a backup

Need Forte and Marshall to have big games tonight if I want to win this week, first Bears drive we see a 39 yard run by forte and a touchdown for Marshall. So far, so good.

[Sainters7]

Going into this game I've got a 21 point lead with 1st place on the line and all he has left is the Chicago D. So far at halftime he's already sitting on 25 points & a 4 point lead. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ***** LIONS OFFENCE!!!!

[Montana Moe]

I was leading 127 to 75 going in to tonight, Carom has Marshall and the Bears D. I'm still up by 20, but I'm sweating it.

[DropIt]

I will also win with Marshall this week

[Sylvanfan]

There was a matchup in one of my leagues where one guy was down 69-62 going into tonight's game. He still had Stafford and Jason Hanson playing tonight. 2 minutes to go, he's still down 1 point, he's going to be losing it here.

Bears Defense is an incredibly fantasy play right now.

I despise the Browns more then any other franchise now. Benching Richardson for the entire 2nd half, you're one true star, because he struggled in the 1st half. Having McFadden is equally as frustrating, his numbers are at a level beyond awful this season and he's getting the ball a ton

[Sainters7]

So thanks to that Lions TD with 30sec left, I manage to scrape out a W & take over 1st place. Man was that 3 hours of pain leading up to that point, how many times can a team get within the 10 yard line & come away with 0 pts?

I'm with you.. I beat the undefeated guy in our league with the :30 sec left TDs.

Do you get 30 points for a TD? Holy quarterback scores

I wouldnt say McFadden is getting the ball a ton. He ranks 14th in the NFL in carries. Im not sure why the Raiders throw the ball as much as they do to be honest. The second they start losing they throw the twice for every time they run. He should have more carries to be honest. I am also a frustrated McFadden owner and have watched 4 Raider games so far, they dont use him well

uhhh do you see the defensive scores?? The league commish isnt the brightest when it comes to scoring.. he just picked and chose stuff. The only reason I won is bc with the Stafford TD he also went over 250 yds. I got 6 pts for the TD and 4 bonus pts for going over 250 haha!

Haha wow on the QB & DEF scoring settings, Brees & Rodgers must've broke a hundo themselves! ...so basically everyone went QB 1st round & D's were dropping by round 2-3?

The league I just scraped out that W in has some bizarre settings too, the commish is a rook. Nothing that extreme but there's a few head scratchers.

That's the kicker... there wasnt a live draft, just stupid auto pick . I didnt even get to choose my team. All the other guys work together too so no one will trade with me either. It was really just luck of the draw.

It used to be worse. KR pts were ridiculous... one time a guy had 60 KR yds and a TD and outscored a RB with 140 yds w/ 2TD.

[Hockeyguy15]

Well that's unfortunate...I was up 10 going into yesterday, I had Forte and Calvin Johnson. He had Cutler, Marshall, and Pettegrew. Lost by 7.

Thanks for the stinker Lions.

I traded for him 2 weeks ago so had him for the last two, against Atlanta where he got the ball 27 times and yesterday I think he got 20 plus carries again. They really don't set up any screens for him and Palmer can't pick up a blitz to save his life. What a frustrating and annoying football team haha

[Bar-Down]

Just got a trade offer:

I would get:
TE Brandon Pettigrew - Lions
WR Steve Johnson - Bills

I would give up:
TE Vernon Davis - SF
WR Kevin Ogletree - Dallas

Would you guys accept it?

Ogletree sucks so I am happy to get rid of him. I just dont know if I should give up on Davis...Pettigrew isn't bad, he just fumbles alot lately...

[TitovFTW]

RIP Dwayne Bowe Fantasy trade value. Cassell would target him double digits each game. Quinn can barely throw the ball down field

No, its a 14 team league, you read my post wrong. Its a 5 player keeper league, meaning we can keep 5 of our players each year. Also, I just traded Cobb for McGahee. Really was my only RB option out there, 14 teams dilutes the RB talent available on the waiver wire.
