After the Rivers stinker against KC (and Stafford on bye), I have to grab a waiver wire QB and keep Rivers on the bench. Pick 1 Josh Freeman @NO Alex Smith @WAS Carson Palmer vs DEN Tim Tebow @OAK Kevin Kolb vs STL Tavaris Jackson @DAL Curtis Painter @ATL John Beck vs SF Or am I stuck with Rivers as my best option?
Josh Freeman. He already scorched the Saints once. Though he has been really bad, he's usually a decent play. Coming off a bye week, he could be really good. Let's hope so anyway.
Ya, Freeman should be a good option the rest of the way. Check the Bucs schedule. Quite a few high-scoring teams. They'll have to throw a lot & you always get those extra rushing yards with him.
I also just got offered Matt Forte & Ryan Mathews for Adrian Peterson & Jackie Battle... Mendenhall is my RB2... I also have Jahvid Best on my roster.
Not that great of a thing that Freeman may have to throw a lot. He seems very interception prone lately, and his targets aren't world beaters, at least not yet. Benn and Williams are good but I guess they and Freeman have started to show their green-ness.
CJ is practically benched... he's probably going to be sharing touches now with that second stringer... Crabtree is actually pretty valuable in a PPR league, he gets a hell of a lot of looks. Depends if you already have other good WRs and you don't need Crabtree and you are willing to gamble for a potentially good RB.
Will Sam Bradford play this weekend? I've got Cam Newton on the bye week and don't have a back up QB. He and Matt Cassell are on the waiver wire and need to pick up one of them. Also should I drop Jabbar Gaffney for Davone Bess@KC or Mike Williams@NO?
what do you think about this trade I got offered: RECEIVE: TE J. Finley WR. V. Cruz RB. R. Helu GIVE TE: Witten my current RBs: McCoy, Starks, Morris, Moreno my current WRs: Mike Wallace, Reggie Wayne, Deion Branch, Decker, Julio Jones. Im thinking not, I think my WRs, can produce the same as Cruz, and Helu is not a huge upgrade, and Witten more consistent than Finley I was thinking to counter with: RECEIVE Finley Turner GIVE Witten Starks Wayne or Decker. Thanks in Advance
The Jets have been weak against the run so I can see the Bills running Fred Jackson down their throats, thus limiting Fitz's numbers. Which defence has a better matchup? Chiefs DST vs Dolphins or Falcons DST @ Colts
I like your counter given that he seems to overvalue Witten. Worst case, I would do the first deal and cut Morris and Branch (or find a way to trade a WR if you're attached to Branch)
