    Should I start Starks or take a chance with Torain?

    Torain

    Both will probably split carries, but the Redskins run a lot more than the Packers. Torain may still get goal line carries, while Starks certainly will not. Torain also has the best matchup.

    The flex spot goes to MJD.

    Jones and Sproles

    Sproles is an every week player given how involved he is in the Saints offense. He is what Reggie Bush supposedly was for that club, except he 100 times better than Bush.

    Jones, because Thomas' hamstring injury isn't necessarily in the rearview mirror, and Jones faces a weak defense in NE.

    I would cut Cassell based on my belief that you do not waste a roster spot on a backup QB, but depending on the size of the league, and the nature of others in your league, it may be necessary to carry one.

    Somebody just traded Arian Foster for Mike Wallace in this buddies league I'm in and I doubt there will be enough negative votes against it because half the teams don't even care or know its a bad trade.

    ****ers.

    On the bright side, it should be an easy league to win.

    But, yeah, I wouldn't play with those guys again.

    It would have been easy, since the commish hands out cheat sheets yahoo provides that are 2 months old and the rest of his friends draft SOLELY off that.

    I would have easily dominated the league, but I was only there at first to help his girlfriend (my best friend) draft and ended up getting suckered into playing myself when somebody else no-showed.

    So I'm basically playing against myself since I helped draft her team as well as mine.

    Her team:

    QB: Brees
    RB: Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Darren Sproles, DeAngelo Williams
    WR: Megatron, Stevie Johnson, Reggie Wayne, AJ Green
    TE: Finley / Keller

    My team:
    QB: Newton, Romo
    RB: McCoy, Rice, F Jackson, B Wells (lulz)
    WR: Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Julio Jones, Meachem, J Nelson, D Nelson
    TE: V Davis / Hernandez


    She's 5-0 with the most points. I'm 3-2 with 7 less points than her.

    I am notorious for picking better teams for friends than myself. I think I take a more logical approach. I let emotions and instinct come into play when I draft for myself. Same with tournament pick em'.

    Me too. My wife is currently 5-0. Although, I do have to hand it to her that she picked up Darren Sproles all on her own.

    I'm thinking this is the week to unleash Lance Kendrick. I am also pretty high on Brandon Gibson.

    Am I right?

    I'm in a position to get Jimmy Graham for Beanie Wells or Michael Turner. Who do you think would be better going forward Beanie Wells or Michael Turner?

    Depends on the format.

    I think wells is going to get more yardage. I think Turner will give you more td potential.

    Also, Graham is great. But if you could get hernandez or gronk or pettigrew for a lesser player I might do that.

    If it is a deeper 12 team or more league I can see value in trading for graham, but in a 10 team league I wouldn't do it. I'd keep the running backs.

    It's a 10-team, head to head league. Standard point system. I have Fred Jackson, MJD, Michael Turner, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Beanie Wells. Already tried to offer Bradshaw for Graham but got denied. I really would like to flip my RB depth for quality at other positions. I tried several WR's but no one in this league likes to trade :mad:

    Why don't nobody ever help ME out?

    And the answer to your is h to the double hockey sticks NO!

    Dez Bryant is a best. Javid is not close to him.

    Maybe Jordy Nelson for Best or Rice for Best.

    This guy is trying to sell best high.

    This league is brutal! The guys are like vultures and for good reason, 300 smackers is good reason to claw for every prospect available. I dropped Orton a few weeks ago and within the next claim period he was gone. I usually just pick up a waiver QB when the bye comes it's hard to do that here tho.

    Some of them have up to 3 QBs on the roster just in case I guess. I just don't know who to drop him for I mean Kerley doesn't sound bad but he seems like a guy that could be picked up on any given Sunday.

    I still didn't really get a response to my OP but good advice from what. Thanks for that fella.

    I'd stick with Fred Davis for one more week. Are you thinking about picking Gibson up, or starting him?
