Non PPR league, I was proposed a trade where I get Wes Welker and give up Darren sproles.

Should I do it?

So, in the staff league (8 teams), here's my squad:

QB: Peyton Manning
RB1: Matt Forte
RB2: Maurice Jones-Drew
WR/RB/TE: Adrian Peterson
WR1: Calvin Johnson
WR2: Demariyus Thomas
TE: Tony Gonzalez
Def: Baltimore
K: Jason Hanson

BN: Michael Vick
BN: Jason Witten
BN: Erin Decker
BN: Beanie Wells
BN: Kenny Britt
BN: Michael Bush

It's an 8-team league, so it's obviously pretty deep.  Any thoughts on how to strengthen the squad?  Any glaring weaknesses?  Is my second wideout an issue, or is it covered between Thomas, Decker, and Britt?

I think it's probably the best team in the league. On the bench I think Witten and Beanie Wells are unnecessary, and your QBs are huge huge risks. Either one is a legitimate risk to go down with a career ending, or season ending injury in every offensive series.

But it's hard for me in 8 team leagues. Risks I'd take in larger leagues aren't necessary here. The natural urge to search desperately for nooks and crannies of production, or taking a flier on longshot, it's not a priority.

Your QB's are question marks (though both are more than capable of huge numbers) and your WR2 is definitely a bit weak given it is an 8 team league, but you can probably figure it out with what you have.  You are also relying a lot on Denver (peyton, thomas, decker) who has a horrid schedule so you may have some concern there.  Witten is probably a top 5 TE if he is healthy, so you can probably move him to try an upgrade.

So After some alterations my team for this week looks like

Stafford
Colsten
Harvin
Welker
BJGE
McCoy
Pettigrew

Matt Bryant
NE

with
Matthews (Inj)
Jennings (Inj)
David Wilson
James Jones
Big Ben
Meachem

Hopefully Welker beats his 3 rec for 14 yards this week, I think he should.

Should I make this offer in my PPR keeper league:

Victor Cruz: led Gmen in targets, plus only costs me a 7th rounder in a 16 team deep league next year
Reggie Bush: should hover around 15 pts per week as long as he's healthy

For

Calvin Johnson
Fred Jackson

Thats tough.  I would say yes because Johnson is one of the few non-elite QB's that can single handedly win you a week.

Can somebody thank Jay Cutler for me for making the Green Bay Defense look superhuman last night?

[indeedproceed]

I own Cam Newton, Reggie Bush, Victor Crus, and Percy Harvin in the money league I really care about.

Combined nearly 120 points between them (its PPR).

So I went to accept that trade that I mentioned earlier in the thread and the other person had cancelled it.  Just in time for Trent Richardson to explode and win me my game (probably still would have won with Peterson).  Now if Trent can keep that crap up, I will be happy.  Dude was a beast out there today.

[Rondo2287]

So Right now im 0-2  Lost by 10 points this past week, 2 out of my top 4 picks didnt play (Jennings, Matthews) and my other two top 4 picks underperformed by a combined 8 points (mccoy, stafford).

This week I should have all of my players back and have a full starting lineup for the first time

Stafford
Jennings
Welker
Harvin
Mccoy
Matthews
Pettigrew/Bennet, not sure which

If I lose this week and go 0-3 I think my season is done.  I was pretty sure I had a beast mode team coming out of the draft, but stafford has Killed me so far, Big Ben has out performed him the first two weeks on my bench.

So somebody tell me i'll be ok, im nervous over here

With Jennings and Matthews you should be okay. Start Bennett over Pettigrew.
