    OK, ok, will do. New to Fantasy, coupled with a very competitive nature. But I will try to take it easy on the go forward. Thanks again for the advice.

    A lot of people take it seriously, but this is football and luck does play a role despite your best efforts. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and assess the squad you have.

    Had Brees / OBJ / McCoy yesterday win me a matchup by themselves.

    CJ Anderson
    Alshon Jeffery
    Cole Beasley
    Jordan Reed
    Broncos D.

    Bench:
    R Cobb
    Jordan Howard
    and I picked up CJ Fiedorowicz while Reed has his concussion.

    Being offered Latavius Murray and Devante Parker for my Dez Bryant. 12-team Half-PPR.

    I'm leaning no, Dez is going to be back after the bye week and will have a good QB throwing to him regardless. Murray has turf toe and we don't know when he'll be back. Devante Parker is just another boom or bust option.

    Keep Dez; reject that trade. You already listed all the good reasons why.

    Here's how I rank these 5 WRs for week 7 in 14 team .5 PPR. Gotta bench 1.

    Green vs CLE
    Evans @ SF
    Nelson vs CHI
    Meredith @ GB
    Landry vs BUF

    I think Meredith is really clicking with Hoyer, and there's just a lot more opportunities and a higher ceiling vs Landry. Thoughts?

    Keep Dez.

    I'd go Meredith since GB secondary is banged up.

    I'm being offered Doug Martin for Spencer Ware and Enunwa from the Jamaal & Decker owner. Hesitant to pull the trigger since Ware tore it up and Martin did not practice Monday, Martin has a cupcake schedule though. Thoughts on this trade?

    My RB's are L. Bell, C-Mike, Ware, Gio B, Jacquizz

    I would trade Ware & Enunwa and receive Doug Martin^

    My WRs are Evans, Alshon, Crabtree, and Michael Thomas.

    Would Britt be worth picking up? I'm choosing to drop one of Ivory, Powell, and Riddick. Any suggestions?

    I'd go Baldwin. Looks like Philly was coming off some post bye hangover and Matt Jones took full advantage of that. Don't think he will replicate it again this week.

    I'm in a pending trade of my Lamar Miller, Cam Newton, and NE D for Antonio Brown, Aaron Rodgers, and Vikings D. Standard ppr League.

    Fair? Should I recant lol.

    I think this whole "AB sucks without Big Ben" thing is blown way out of proportion. You're definitely getting the better end of the deal.

    Cameron is getting way more targets than Alshon is. For PPR, I think you might want to start Cameron and Cobb.

    Landry Jones really sucks. That's the problem.

    I'm now being offered CJ Anderson for my Dez Bryant. Half PPR. Gut reaction is no, but I'm gonna think about it.

    How many do you start? Drop Powell if you must since Riddick will be back soon, but I feel 50/50 on Britt considering your depth.

    Thanks for the response. I have 2 WR slots and 1 Flex. I was planning on starting Alshon and Mike Evans in WR and waiting until Sunday to pick between Crabtree and Thomas.

    Turns out, I will be playing the lottery game this week so I ended up getting Ty Montgomery first. If he doesn't pan, then Britt, and so on so forth.

    I didn't read the last few pages but I did read the Latavius/Devante for Dez. I wouldn't do either trades. You're right-- you just need to wait for the second half of the season when Romo comes back to get value out of Dez. CJ Anderson won't live up to his value and is becoming less and less effective.
