Still seething over how lousy the Chiefs defence has been I went out and got James Jones, and James Starks to go with Randall Cobb and Davante Adams whom I already had. I plan to star all 4 of them this week.

I expect Aaron Rogers will run for 4 TD's this week, and won't throw to any of those receivers, and Starks will only get 10 carries for 22 yards and a lost fumble.

My angle here is that Johnson won't be the #1 in Arizona much longer, so he would be dropped in a few weeks anyways, and Evans takes the Flex spot. Woodhead takes my RB2 as I like him in goal line opportunities. Lacy/Starks hold down the RB1.

Moncrief doesn't factor into this decision at all, and with Megatron, Sanders, Moncrief and Evans all in the lineup I think I can get over the loss of any additional points Forsett would have brought.

Lineup would look like this after:

QB: Matt Ryan
WR1: Calvin Johnson
WR2: Emmanuel Sanders
WR3: Donte Moncrief
RB1: Eddie Lacy / James Starks (depending on health)
RB2: Danny Woodhead
TE: Ladarius Green
FLEX: Mike Evans
K: Mason Crosby
DEF: Buffalo
BEN: Sam Bradford
BEN: Eddie Lacy / James Starks (depending on health)
BEN: Michael Floyd
BEN: Chris Johnson
BEN: Julius Thomas

Weak at RB but pretty good at WR I would argue.

Is this a PPR or a non-PPR? If it's a non-PPR, I'm not sure I would pull the trigger on that deal. Woodhead is a boom/bust player in a non-PPR.

Watkins not a big drop off from AJ Green? Say what now?

I'd be taking that trade in a heartbeat if it's PPR.

[shermanator]

It's a standard league, not PPR.

After a few beers, I ended up pulling the trigger on the trade anyways.

Guy I'm playing this week started both Morris and Jones last night. Lol.

B Cooks, AJ Green, Stevie Johnson, Crabtree
Vernon Davis, Jordan Reed

I have to accept right? I need another legit RB that will get most of the touches in Hyde…

Watkins is a WR3/flex play right now, that's a huge downgrade from AJG.

If you believe in Hyde this is a pretty fair deal. I believe in his talent but I'm not sold on the situation he's in just yet. I think the SF game scripts are going to be more like they were against the Steelers than against the Vikings going forward. He could be in for some long days in games where they don't control the game.

I'd shop AJG around some more and see what other RBs you can get for him.

I'd give the same advice as Mick, shop him around if you want to flip AJ for a RB. However, your WR aren't world beaters either so I feel like it's a net zero gain by accepting that trade. It's almost like AJ = Hyde and Sankey = Watkins.

Yeah I'm just worried about AJ Green this year. So far it seems Tyler Eifert has taken away all his red zone targets and he always seems to be injured at some point.

I think if Watkins and Cooks can take that next step I'll be alright at WR.

And not many teams in our 16 team league have 2 legit RB (a lot of committee backfields this year) so I think a Foster/Hyde duo could be legit for me.

Why do people not respond to trade requests? Just hit reject if you don't like it!

[devo22]

I struggle with deciding my RB and WR lineup this week.

RB - Le'veon Bell, Doug Martin, Chris Johnson
WR - Randall Cobb, Jeremy Maclin, Travis Benjamin, Markus Wheaton

already had Alfred Morris in action on Thursday and that was a bad decision. Bell is a lock obviously and Cobb as well, but other than that? I tend to go Martin and Maclin, but not sure. Thanks for any advice.

[Da_Chief]

What is this? 2RB, 3WR, 1Flex?

Morris, Bell, Cobb, Maclin, Wheaton, Martin as your flex.

If no flex, then take out Martin.

[Sylvanfan]

Ha ha I benched Randle and Keenan Allen this week. The bench point tie breaker will be mine!

[Hockey]

So with an injury to Big Ben and Mariota on a bye I need to pick up a QB.

My options are Weeden, Mallett or maybe Vick.

Who should it be?

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Vick

[Pagal4321]

Wow, some managers in our league agreed to the following trade:

Marcus Mariota, Brandon Cooks and Latavius Murray for Tom Brady, Randall Cobb and Bilal Powell.

Safe to say it got vetoed real quick.

[DropIt]

Danny Woodhead for John Brown in PPR?

Ha
I can't figure out which way you mean that it's lopsided?

[shermanator]

Looks like dropping Justin Forsett and picking up Mike Evans was a shrewd move based on the first week. Leaving Chris Johnson on the bench for Danny Woodhead was definitely not.

[Hatter]

In my money league I've now lost Dez and Ben. Forsett and Miller have been total busts. FF is a cruel mistress .

[MillerTime GFG]

Looking to pickup a better RB2/flex option, so I was proposed:
Sending Coleman, Maclin, next year's first rounder for Arian Foster.

My team:
QB: Sam Bradford, Big Ben (ugh), Manziel
RB: CJ anderson, Le'Veon, Dion Lewis, Reggie Bush, Denard Robinson, Sankey
WR: Fitz, Travis Benjamin, Crabtree, Maclin, Cole Beasley, Brandon Coleman, Aaron Dobson, Jordy Nelson, Golden Tate, Terrance Williams, Devin Funchess

PPR league, and yes, it's a deep league.

I like the trade outside of the first rounder. Want to counter with a 2nd. Hard to gauge Foster coming off his injury combined with being 29.

Thoughts?

EDIT: He just messaged me saying Coleman (Brandon) and Maclin for Foster.
