    Ok so Im facing the Commish of our league this week he talks a whole lot of junk I really really want to win this week. Heres my team, how should I set my lineup? Its Non PPR

    QB Eli Manning (NYG @DAL)
    WR Antonio Brown (PIT vs WAS)
    WR DeMariyus Thomas (DEN vs NO)
    WR Brandon Gibson (STL vs NE)
    RB Darren Sproles (NO @DEN)
    RB Vick Ballard (IND @TEN)
    TE Jimmy Graham (NO @DEN)

    K David Akers

    DEF MIN @ TB


    Bench:
    WR Sidney Rice (SEA @DET)
    WR Josh Gordon (CLE @SD)
    RB Mikel LeShoure (DET vs SEA)
    RB Fred Jackson Bye
    TE Fred Davis (INJ)
    RB William Powell (AZ vs SF)


    What do you guys think? Would that be the ideal lineup that would give max points?

    I would consider Josh Gordon over Brandon Gibson for upside.

    Moss and Rudolph are your best bets here.

    Maclin or Bowe at WR this week?

    2 running backs and a flex spot

    Frank Gore, Jamaal Charles, Stevan Ridley, Alfred Morris, Alex Green, Jason Witten, Jeremy Maclin/Dwayne Bowe



    Also, I can get Greg Jennings for cheap right now. Does anyone know his timetable for return? And would you offer any of the guys I listed for Jennings? I don't really need him, I'm in 2nd place, but I thought it might be a good investment for later in the season.

    I would go with Maclin mainly because Brady Quinn is the the QB this week in a divisional game which we know are usually tough. I know Bow is a solid play most weeks but I would be afraid of this one.

    I need some good advice, more replies the better!

    Should I trade:

    Ray Rice and Demaryius Thomas for
    Ryan Matthews and Percy Harvin (or Marshawn Lynch instead of Matthews)


    My team as constructed is 4-3.

    M. Ryan, M. Schaub
    R. Rice, MJD, D. Brown, V. Ballard
    R. White, D. Thomas, J. Maclin, S. Smith, J. Kerley, J. Gordon
    K. Rudolph
    M. Bryant
    GB D

    I've been struggling for points the past 3 weeks. I was 4-0.

    I'm really thin at RB and Rice, MJD, and Brown are out this week.

    Thanks for your reply in advance!

    no... u dont do a trade becuase your players are on bye weeks. Do your research and find some break out players on the WW or play your bench you never know who might have a breakout game.

    Keep Walsh hes had one bad game which was last week...(i know i have him in 2 of my leagues..) Hes been pretty good the whole season. As for Hanson the Lions are a complete mess they cant even score becuase its a sure fumble or interception.

    Is there a b****ing thread? I need 24 from Stafford/Gould to win, get 23. We rarely have ties and in our league the tiebreaker has always been bench points, which he won 24-19, but Yahoo had the game as a tie. I decide to go in and add an extra point to my opponent so he wins. He texts me asking what happened because he didn't even know there was a tiebreaker. ****.

    It's not because they are on bye. MJD could be out for awhile, D. Brown still has a week or so.

    He is offering me Lynch, Jennings (handcuffs), and Harvin.

    So disregard the part where I sounded like I wanted to trade because of a bye week. Is this a good trade?

    Who gets the best out of this trade:

    Stafford/Gates/T. Smith

    for

    Freeman/Witten/Wayne

    Keep in mind the team giving up T. Smith is in a win-now mode and can't afford a loss this week. :)

    Stafford over Freeman for the rest of the year.

    Gates and Witten will push.

    Wayne slightly over Smith.

    I like the Stafford side.

    The lineup you have is fine. I like Gibson over Gordon, Gibson is getting all the targets with Amendola out. Someone said upside with Gordon, is true.. but also his floor is lower... could easily end up with 3 for 27 if he doesn't hit his homerun catch.

    I need to pick up a RB.

    M Bush v Car
    D Thomas @ NJY
    Dwyer v Wash

    Thinking Dwyer if Mend and Red are out again. But if one of them is back, I'm going to grab one of the other guys. Thoughts?
