I replaced Adrian Peterson with Larry Donnell this morning. I`m pretty weak on RB`s though because Peterson was supposed to carry my team. I have Trent Richardson, Zac Stacy and LeGarrette Blount.

RB: Le'veon Bell, Matt Forte, C.J. Spiller, Ben Tate
WR: Jordy Nelson, Andre Johnson, A.J. Green, Michael Crabtree
TE: Julius Thomas, Antonio Gates
D/ST: Chiefs, Seahawks
K: Nick Novak, Dan Bailey

first week was clear win against a weak opponent ... second week was pretty ugly, but still managed a win thanks to Jordy Nelson.

Clearly the other guys had no idea lol. That is one stacked roster. Oh, you dont need backups at D/K. Drop Chiefs and Bailey. Pick up more depth at Rec/RB

Ya, that pretty ugly RB situation you got now. Check to see West, Davis or Brown are still available.

None of those options are available.

Jeremy Hill from Cinci is available though. Might be a decent option for replacing either Blount or Stacy.

Got proposed this trade in my league.

I give up:
Big Ben (QB)
D. Thomas (WR)
A. Morris (RB)

I get:
T. Brady (QB)
M. Wheaton (WR)
R. Cooper (WR)

My other QB is J. McCown and I have Blake Bortles on the bench. My RBs if I give up A. Morris is still pretty good: A. Bradshaw, C. Ivory, K. Davis, R. Jennings. My WRs so far are M. Wallace and Kelvin Benjamin.

I really need a QB, but I have doubts on Brady's effectiveness.

My gut tells me to nix the trade. What do you guys think?

Doesn't Big ben get better fantasy points than Brady in the past couple years? I had Brady last year and he was an extreme failure. I'd reject that trade for sure. You'll get way more points out of DT and AM, especially with RG3 out of the mix.

Cooper is a big play guy. He's either 10-20pts or like 2.

[Hockeyguy15]

Ben vs Brady is a wash, and then you give up the best WR in the package and a solid RB for two 2/3 WR? Easy decline for that.

Apparently none of your friends watch football or you're doing a pick 'em where you can all pick the same players.

Your gut is right .... That trade sucks!

Thanks guys, I nixed the trade.

Rashad Jennings VS Bobby Rainey VS Chris Ivory for my flex spot?

I think Jennings is the best running back but has the ugliest matchup.

probably go Rainey > Jennings > Ivory

Yea, I have Jennings slotted in there right now, but I am leaning towards changing to Rainey, I have 20 minutes or so to decide, haha.

Edit - Going with Rainey

forgot about the part where the bucs will need the ball for rainey to run it

I just new he was going to fumble right there.

Looking like an awful swap right now.

[DropIt]

well.....

pretty happy i picked up and started the ATL defense today

[DOOM]

Ugh, doubt Rainey sees the ball anymore tonight, gonna be a negative fantasy point night.

Just got to hope that Steven Jackson doesn't put a ton of points so my matchup remains close.

[DOOM]

****

[DOOM]

At least Rainey ended up getting me up to 6.50 points, Only down 4.9 points. He looked solid when he hung onto the ball.

Thanks to Julio tonight and the possibility of Charles drawing back in on Sunday, this week is (finally) looking like it could be a good one.
