    Had him in as many leagues as possible last year. For some reason people forgot about him in 2011. Like changing to SF would make him worse when that team can't get into the endzone worth ****.

    What the hell happened in the CAR/TB game?!?! Do the Bucs have a stout D all of a sudden? Why did CAR abandon the run so early?

    Or was Raheem Morris such a god awful coach last year (a la Singletary in SF) that Schiano is a massive improvement.

    This dude wants to trade me

    Stevan Ridley and Kenny Britt
    for
    Brandon Lloyd.

    Right now Lloyd is my 3rd starting WR with D.Thomas (broncos) and Calvin Johnson (Megatron)

    So I am replacing Lloyd with Britt and benching Hillis OR Michael Turner
    with Ridley.

    Any thoughts?

    Should have played AP, I think he'll be back to full strength by week 4. He looked good against a top ranked run D from last year.

    Hoping Law Firm and Torrey Smith tear it up tonight for me.... currently down by 54. :(

    Did you see the game or highlights? I haven't seen anything from AP, just the numbers. He looks... I don't know the right word. He looks straight? Lol.

    Yeah I was watching, flipping back and forth between the Vikes/Jags and Brown/Eagles (wanted to check out how Richardson looked) he still has his explosion and burst when cutting through the hole.

    The guy is a monster and plays like it's his last carry every time, which may hurt him a little if he's not playing near 100%. But from the looks of things, he's extremely close to being there.

    Weird coincidence, but I need exactly 11 points from AJ Green in *both* my leagues to win my games tonight.

    Anyone else worrying about Fred Jackson? I definitely didn't hedge the team in question on him but I could use him healthy... knew I should reached for Spiller early just in case.

    Current WR core
    Starters: Calvin Johnson, D-Thomas, Brandon Lloyd
    Backup: Heyward-Gay but I made a waiver claim on Lance Moore

    Current RB Core:
    Starters: Jamaal Charles, Michael Turner
    Flex: Hillis
    Bench: Green-Ellis, Benson

    With trade I will adjust my lineup like this:

    WR: Calvin, Thomas, Britt
    RB:Charles, Green-Ellis
    Flex: Ridley

    Adding Ridley and benching Hillis/Turner gives me a chance to trade them for something...

    I may have an even bigger quandry on my hands with whom I should claim off the waiver wire this week with #1 overall waiver priority.

    I dropped Streater for Turbin which may have been a mistake (based on tonight's games outcomes, we'll see) but I more than likely would have dropped Streater anyway for one of the following guys. So I'm up in the air on these 4:

    Stephen Hill
    Alshon Jeffery
    Dexter McCluster
    Kevin Ogletree

    This is my ppr league and somehow these guys are still available. The guys on my squad I'd even consider dropping would be; Sidney Rice, Robert Turbin, Jonathan Dwyer, and Denarius Moore. Everyone else has way to much value to lose right now.

    Suggestions?

    Was McCluster lined up at WR or in the backfield?

    Your lack of WR depth will probably hurt you if Britt ends up injured or in jail again.

    This guy is probably trying to buy low on Brandon Lloyd and sell high on Ridley.

    Keep in mind that Lloyd was the only Pats receiver who played the majority of the snaps yesterday. Welker split time with Edelman.

    I can't predict the future, but if Ridley continues to be the main back in NE his value could creep up to high end RB2.

    I don't think Turbin will have a lot of long term value. Dwyer looks good, but Pittsburgh can never run the ball well, their line is always in shambles. I'd drop either of those guys.

    Jeffery, Ogletree and Hill all seem to be poised to see a lot of snaps as the season goes on, but all 3 right now are not technically "starters". Jeffery and Ogletree have the better QBs, so I'd tend to lean toward one of them. Jeffrey is more talented than Ogletree, I've been on his bandwagon since his sophomore season at South Carolina. He reminds me a bit of Larry Fitzgerald. The cons with him is Chicago has a lot of mouths to feed, and there will probably be games where he doesn't see more than a couple targets.

    Romo fell in love with his slot receiver last year, and if that trend continues it isn't unreasonable to think Ogletree will end up with Laurent Robinson 2011 type numbers.

    Hill to me could be the "one-hit wonder" of this group of guys. I know he's a first round pick, Santonio Holmes is fading into oblivion, and Sanchez quietly put up better than average stats last year, but I need to see more from him because I'm not convinced the Jets are for real yet.

    McCluster who knows, might be part of this particular game plan, or he might finally turn into the PPR stud a lot of people thought he'd be. He becomes especially valuable in a PPR if he gets a lot of catches because he's basically a WR with RB eligibility.

    Thats a tough one, but right now I'd rank them as

    1.) Ogletree
    2.) McCluster (Because of PPR)
    3.) Jeffery
    4.) Hill

    McCluster was being used in the slot and was pretty productive, even through the preseason from what I saw.

    His duel eligibility would be a bonus as well.

    Should I start the Bears in weeks 2? They play GB. My other option is Buffalo, they play against KC or should i drop them and start the Bengals against the Browns?

    Also I was offered Steven Jackson for Victor Cruz. All my RBs were terrible except Lynch.

    I like the Bengals option. Weeden looks awful.

    I think Jackson and Cruz will see better days.
