Do I take it?

Who are your other WRS and how many can you start? I think BenJarvis will begin to lose more and more carries to the Rookie, but at the same time, Arian Foster may start to gain more carries as the season moves along. Arian and Alfred are both pretty solid. I would hate to give up Andre unless you are loaded at WR.

I wish I had joined a flex league. Random dudes are on the FA list. I just picked up RG3!

What!!!

Can only start 3.

My other WRs are Edelman, Denarius Moore, Steve Smith and Miles Austin

In my PPR league ... 2 WR's, 2 RB's, Flex:

WRs:
R. Wayne @ Jax (starting)
J. Gordon v Cinci
C. Shorts v Indi
S. Johnson v Balt
J. Edelman @ Atl

RB's:
D. Sproles (Starting)
B. Powell @ Tenn
L. Miller @ NO

Also have Ray Rice but he is unlikely to play much on Sunday.

So I need WR2, RB2 and Flex.

I am leaning to B. Powell as RB2 and as Flex if Rice is full go Sunday.
Still need WR2 and possibly WR as Flex. Leaning to Gordon & Shorts b/c of the PPR scoring (also weighted against yardage, 25 yds = 1 pt; TD = 6; Catch= .5)

Thoughts?

I would think by week 7 or 8, half the guys you are playing with will have given up even making roster changes because there would be too many injuries or underperforming teams.

Well its a $100 each league so guys tend to stick around - winner takes something like $1600. But yes the contenders lose the pack fairly quickly, the depth aspect makes it fun. Trades, waivers, and luck are all huge. We do waivers based on a bidding system so its fair. It's a bunch of buddies from about 4 different high school classes so we have a good time with it.

I stick with what you have. Edelman might be phased out when Amendola returns, Miles has injury history, Denarius isn't really WR1 for OAK any more, Steve Smith is a low end WR2. Johnson is a WR1.

Alfmo & Foster are studs - Foster will pick it up just ride the wave. Richardson can be a fantasy stud no doubt, but who knows what that backfield will look like with Bradshaw in it.

Maybe package Miles Austin & BGE for a RB to someone else who is desperate for a WR. Stevan Ridley, David Wilson are great buy-lows right now, i'd imagine you could get them for a Denarius/Edelman & BGE type deal. I don't think you'll be starting whatever RB you get in return over Alfmo/Foster much anyways, a WR1 is of more value than a RB3 unless you have a flex spot - in which I'd still take a Johnson/Ridley situation over a Austin/BGE one.

Powell definitely over Miller this week, matchup is better and he'll see the ball a ton. I'd go Gordon for sure, but I'd be flipping a coin over Edelman/Shorts - leaning towards shorts b/c catches are only .5 in your league.

Edelman against the Falcons or Larry Fitzgerald against Revis and the Bucs?

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Looks like Amendola will play so I would look at Fitz.

[JoeRedskin]

lol ... second highest score of the week and lose, by .7 pts, to the highest score of the week.

<sigh>

In a two QB league, I had Brees as one of my QBs. My second QB....Andy Dalton and his stinker of a performance. Despite Brees' 44 points performance, I still lose by 23 points b/c of Andy Dalton and rest of my team.

I got lucky, Edelman pulled through just enough for me to win in one of my leagues. I won by 1 point. Whew.

Good for you, I kept Fitzgerald in and he did well enough but I lost. I have come to the conclusion that my fantasy team will be nothing more than middle of the road this year because while I drafted well, the real NFL teams are not using my stud players in the right way. I have Fitzgerald, A.J. Green and Steven Ridley. All high Fantasy draft picks.

Larry Fitzgerald has a middle of the road QB throwing to him, A.J. Green has a bottom tier QB throwing to him and Ridley is in RBBC hell on the Patriots.

i put up 165 this week in my "big" money league on my way to 4-0, all thanks to having the first overall pick; my draft started like this:
1. (1) peterson
2. (20) brees
3. (21) graham

Yep, RBs have done nothing this year unless you have Peterson, or maybe McCoy. The only 4-0 team in our league has Peterson and J. Charles (keeper league) unless his guys get hurt, I dont see any of us beating him.
