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.

consistancy is a dumb criteria. ok.

Yeah people have break out years, thats what makes the game fun. Im conservative when it comes to someone who proves it for like 5 years and someone who has a breakout game. Also I dont know the rest of the team either so, im much more conservative on the advice. Im giving an opinion so relax.

Hey im 2-0 in my $150 buy in league...and just traded Nanee from San Diego for Brandon Marshall....ill stick with getting Marshall the guy doing it for 5 years for a guy who played his first consecutive games at a high level

Legedu Naanee has a lower targetting priority than Gates and Floyd.
Foster is the #1 RB and has no timeshare.
#1 RBs/wrs/etc get the most touches, which means more points.
Your Marshall comparison fails to address Foster vs. Jones-Drew.
That guy is also a moron, as he should have realized that unless the WR is Miles Austin, Reggie Wayne and maybe a couple others, WRs will have those type of days.

Both Foster and Jones-Drew are #1s, so they tie there. But Foster is on a dynamic offense while Jones Drew is on a shitty team who's going to be facing a difficult schedule in the near future. Foster is on ZBS scheme, and he runs very well in it.

Of course, this was one week ago, but RBs do not just run for 200+ yards out of the blue. It's an indicator that shows he is capable of producing well every week. That, in turn, reduces the perceived risk.

By the way, I won my first game as a rook. The other guy's team was stacked too. Get this D.Hall gave me 25 pts!

If you're getting points per catch I would stick with MJD. Need to see a bit more from Foster too in order to be a believer.

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

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?

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

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.

Mangini.

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

[Monkeydad]

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.

[MTK]

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

[scowan]

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!
