    LOL, I too have him in my $$ league... we have no waiver wire just FA pool that opens at 8am every Tuesday. Barnridge is already in my lineup.

    At least you don't have to worry about Cameron since he's on bye.

    12 team standard league ESPN

    I would give up Joseph Randle
    I would receive Drew Brees

    My current QBs: E. Manning
    My current RBs: Charles, Forte, Ivory, Randle, Yeldon, Hillman
    My current WRs: Maclin, Hilton, Wallace, Harvin
    My current TEs: Ertz, Miller
    My current K is McManus
    My current DEF is Green Bay

    I'd like to pull the trigger but here is what is keeping me from saying yes:

    I feel my weakest points are WR and TE which I don't improve on in this trade.

    Also, Brees and Manning both have the same bye weeks.

    Randle was and is in a RBBC situation but he looks to be even more valuable now as Dunbar is perhaps lost for the season so he could be seeing those passing plays more now.

    Any thoughts?

    I'm not so sure that Drew Brees is going to be much better than Manning.

    You have great RB depth and weak at WR and TE, so trading an RB for an upgrade is a good decision, but I wouldn't do it for an upgrade at QB. The difference is marginal and you could stream QBs if you had to. Outside of Rodgers and Brady there is not that much difference between everyone else. I'd look elsewhere and go for a WR or TE.

    I have those two in my leagues as well and I'm going with Gates. Most of the experts seem to like Eifert but with San Diego having some injury problems at WR I see Gates and Keenan Allen getting most of the action.

    Trying to improve on this:

    Manning
    Anderson
    Jeremy Hill
    Moncrief
    Hankerson
    J. Brown
    S. Johnson
    M. Bennett
    Eagles
    Hauschka

    Bench
    ---------
    Morris
    Reggie Bush
    Powell
    Devante Adams
    Hillman
    Kendall Wright


    Do you guys think its safe to say drop Devante Adams, Reggie Bush, J. Brown? I'd like to replace the Eagles defense by streaming maybe the Giants or Tampa D. Pick up Tavon Austin and Hurns.

    Im also going to play Hillman over CJ Anderson from here on out

    Does anyone here think Victor Cruz is worthy of a spot?

    No, not this season. His injury usually takes 2 years to fully heal. I think if/when he gets back he'll be ineffective.

    Barnidge over Gates? No way. With Rivers having the relationship he does with Gates and being on a better offense (with a much better QB) you need to choose Gates 100% of the time.

    Odds of Karlos Williams being out this week?

    CJ Anderson and DeSean Jackson for Arian Foster a fair deal? Foster is going nowhere in FF this year IMO but I want him just so I can continue watching the train wreck that is the Houston Texans.

    Just traded Foster and Landry for Luck, not too sure how I feel about it yet.

    Current line-up (PPR)

    Luck
    Forte/Gore/Gurley
    Julio/Maclin/
    Olsen
    McManus
    Denver/St. Louis

    Got Dez waiting on my bench as well

    Ok so this is my big money league and I'm curious on others thoughts.

    I have the NYJ defense and they are on there bye week. I do not have a backup defense and I'm contemplating not picking one up off the waiver and instead just going this one week without a defense.

    My worst player is probably Jordan reed, but I don't want to drop him in case gates ends up being washed up.

    I'm currently 4-0 so I'm thinking I can risk this potential loss in order to keep my depth in tact for later in the season.

    Thoughts? Well rep. TIA

    I have Jordan Reed and I plan on dropping him. He's dealing with multiple injuries and one of them is a concussion, which he has a history of. I don't think we will see him until a couple of weeks later. Do you have another TE to roll with?

    Im scared of your rb depth. I have Gurley also and while last week was nice he's still a huge question mark. The others have lacked so far this year.

    But if luck turns it around and becomes elite like he should you have a great qb, wr core. But what if foster becomes his elite self?

    Personally I don't like it and wouldn't have done it.

    I have gates coming of suspension and plan on playing him.

    I decided to go and drop reed NYG defense.

    Also: must spread rep.

    With Gates, think you'll be fine. Drop Reed and pick up the D/ST that's playing the Jags or Bucs.
    ---------------
    I got:

    Wilson
    CJA/K.Williams/Yeldon/Woodhead/Ivory/M.Jones
    Hopkins/K.Allen/K.Wright/D.Jackson
    Gronkowski
    Hauschka
    Denver

    Feel like I'm collecting deadweights at RB right now with Hillman coming in off the waivers for Reed. Trying hard to get Foster right now but haven't heard anything yet. Any suggestions on what to do with my roster?

    BREAKING NEWS: Karlos Williams (BUF) is diagnosed with concussion

    Gurley is in Waivers

    I initially planned to drop Lamar Miller (MIA - bye week) for Gurley...
    but now I'm thinking of dropping Karlos instead for Gurley.

    Which one to drop?
