Yeah. I am getting points per catch. Yeah, kinda thinking the same thing.
Plus Foster is going up against the Skins this week so it would be hard to root for him! Thanks guys

I just got the trade offer. I dunno what to do.

No. You stick with the guy who has put up top 5 fantasy numbers the last 3 years.

Good point. I lost last week and i'm already in panic mode.

Here is a fatansy question for you guys to consider, please give me some advice. In my flex position this week, Jerome Harrison RB Cleveland @ home against the Chiefs or Clinton Portis obviously @ home against the Texans?

Portis easily.

Harrison lost carries to Peyton Hillis and is in the doghouse for Cleveland. He's at least in a 50-50 split, on the verge of losing his starting role. His only hope is that Hillis keeps fumbling, but Hillis has been tagged as the goal line back.

Portis doesn't seem to be in a battle for carries at all.

This is such a toss up...Id lean towards portis...but Senaca Wallace could give that cleveland offense a lift at home

R. Williams v. Minn
T. Jones v. Clev.
F. Taylor v. NYJ

or do I start a WR in the flex spot:
P. Garcon v. NYG
E. Royal v. Seattle
P. Harvin v. Miami

You get .5 pts per reception and 1 pt for every 25 rushing or rcving yards.

Harvin isn't practicing, hip issue.
Royal missed Wednesday practice with a groin problem.
Garcon is the only sure player to get on the field.

Your WRs should be Colston, Garcon and Royal...hoping he plays.

RB Turner obviously.

Flex - I'd start Ricky Williams since it's a PPR. Thomas Jones is behind J. Charles and even though Fred Taylor is the top back in NE, he's dealing with a toe injury this week in practice.

Not with his arm, KC's secondary is pretty good.

I just could not understand why Cleveland did not use Harrison more last week. It was a real mystery because he has so much more talent than the other guy.

Harrison tore up KC last year, but KC seems better on D this year.

Mangini.

Never try to figure out what he's thinking. You'll only get a headache.

Ok, Portis over Harrison this week at the Flex. Matt Forte and Michael Turner in the two main RB slots. I just notcied that all of my RBs have an "R" as the third letter in their last names. I'm calling this the "Triple R formation". Wow, I've been looking at this too long!

This is a longshot, but my second rb slot in one of my leagues is always a risk. I'm actually starting Keiland Williams this week as my rb2... my top back is mjd and the rest include cj spiller, peyton hillis and michael bush (I had Fred Jackson, but dropped him for keiland). Lack of rb depth is due to drafting a qb and te in the third and fourth rounds... Dallas Clark is hooking it up, though.

Normally, this is a bonehead move- and it very may turn out to be such. But looking at my other options, I don't think I have a choice... Spiller's spilling the beans with that three headed monster in Buffalo, Hillis isn't going anywhere against that Ravens' rush defense and Bush is way behind D-Mac in Oakland (plus he's working his way back from a broken thumb).

The Rams give up close to a buck fifty in rushing yards and I don't think Portis is going to get all of that... Hoping K. Will. pulls off a mini-Snelling this week after Larry Johnson's departure.

I have MJD on one of my teams... and I'd make that trade. Foster's on a tear this season and when it comes to fantasy, it's all about what have you done for me lately. And the past three years are three years that have taken a toll on MJD's knees and as anyone can tell you- running backs are affected the most in the league.

Foster looks like the truth- he's going to have plenty of running lanes open this season with that air attack in Houston. Just because he was drafted in the third or fourth round of fantasy drafts this year and MJD was a top four pick, don't let that prohibit your thinking. If that trade's still on the table, take it.

That's a dumb criteria. Apply that to Miles Austin last year and you're the one crapping his own pants. Foster is this year's Miles Austin. He SHOULD take the trade. Jacksonville is going to pass a lot because of their leaky defense, and their passing game is shitty when they can't run play action.
