2 trades I'm considering.  2 RB's, 2 WR's, 1 W/R flex and you get .5 per catch

My team
RB - Arian Foster, Trent Richardson, Alfred Morris, Doug Martin, and Ryan Williams
WR - Dwyane Bowe, Danny Amendola, Demaryius Thomas, Denarius Moore

2 trades being considered
Richardson and Morris for Ray Rice and Lance Ball (filler)

Morris and Martin for Andre Johnson and Donald Brown


I think I'm leaning towards doing the first trade as Rice and Foster would be a monster 1/2 combo and Richardson and Morris do have the same bye. I'd also still have Martin and Williams for bye weeks or flex along with one of the other WR's.  That said I can certainly see the merit in adding Andre Johnson as my WR's are much less consistent than my RB's and I would keep Richardson as my #2 RB.

I would do the first one in a heartbeat

That's where I was leaning.  That guy has Ray Rice, Reggie Bush, and a bunch of crap (some injuries, some unexpected changes, etc.) so it actually is a pretty fair trade all around and will help us both.

I was actually lucky I lost the first week and didn't have very many points so I was able to sign Alfred Morris out of waivers the first week and then I got lucky that Beanie got hurt so early and will miss essentially the season.  Just had all the luck early this year in the RB department and trying to capitalize on that depth by upgrading.

My office league I have been offered Gronkowski and I would trade Alfred Morris and possibly Heath Miller.  My starting TE is Jason Witten.  Morris is my flex player.  I would move either Doug Martin or Denarius Moore to replace Morris in the starting lineup.  I can only start 1 TE, so is Gronk a big enough increase on Witten to make up for the loss from Morris to Moore or Martin.  I'm leaning towards no, but was curious as to others thoughts.

Anytime you can get out of Lucifer's pocket, do it.

Gates, Sproles, and Spiller all crapped the bed this week, so I needed 10 points from my kicker just to beat a bad team. 

Fortunately, that kicker was Shayne Graham so I squeaked it out.  3-2 and in playoff contention.  But man, I like fantasy basketball so much better - a lot less volatility in the numbers.

Can't afford to ignore Eli, no matter the matchup. He makes Victor Cruz look like Calvin Johnson.

Plus, 'Zona is beast.

Hey, y'all. Detroit Lions are absolute garbage right now. Mikel Leshore has looked good, but not great.

But guess who's back in the mother-lovin howwwwww-se?

Javid Best. One time for your PPR league. #Pickemup!

Ha, just put my claim in on him. I've got 5 moves pending this week. at 1-4 I have to do something.

Where did you hear this?  I actually just looked at picking him up earlier but he wasn't supposed to be back this week.


Oh yeah, and general question:  Gates vs Denver or Owen Daniels vs Green Bay?  Gates has been pretty lousy so far, and Daniels terrific, but I feel like Gates'll break out as soon as I bench him.

Det is hoping for his return on Oct 22. It's a gamble for the desperate, which I so happen to be.

Ah - thought IP was saying he was back this week.

I'll probably go grab him anyway, I'm thin at RB now that Spiller and Andre Brown have come back to Earth.
