Yeah that's kind of what I think too. Didn't mean to come off as frustrated when I'm asking for help, but, well, I was frustrated not being able to get people to understand that. The league has deep rosters and owners intelligent enough to stash young backups on the bench and wait for opportunities. ****, part of the reason I have a good team is that I traded some of those backup-type players to a team that wanted to speculate for the future and got some good WRs in return. (oh yeah, I left Kendall Wright off my roster when I listed it.)

Jones downgraded to out in practice today, looking better for Tanner/Dunbar.

WR: Harvin, Decker, Cobb, Mike Williams, Young Sr., LaFell, Broyles
TE: Graham

I'm trying to pick up Parmele and Lance Ball this week. Truthfully I'm not sure if Parmele will help but I am definitely worried about my depth now. In addition, I'm not as convinced that MJD being back means he'll get a full workload again-- what if they're like 1-11? Are they just going to run MJD into the ground for no reason for three games? That seems unlikely.
With your RB and league situation Parmele and Ball are worth taking a shot on. They both have a good chance of being your best option should Charles or BJGE get hurt. Definitely drop Young for Parmele, then one of Turbin or Broyles for Ball.

It's just my opinion as an eagles fan. If we lose again and he's still blurry, and they put foles as the starter, I can see brown spelling McCoy at least down the stretch

I agree with movie, I can definally see them shutting down McCoy for the year and hope they do so if he can't play this weekend and they lose again

i think ppl are overestimating the chance that mjd returns. like its closer to 5050 than a certainty

I've put in bids on both, although I'm dropping useless guys i didn't mention because they're useless (Washington D, who I picked up as a bye-week filler, and Lance Dunbar).

Cut the cord on Britt for DX? I hate giving up on him especially coming out of a bye with Locker back. I will be starting one of those two this week. Short benches and I have too many injured RBs.

id go brown as the top pick if you are selling out on this week. he has great talent and was the top recruit out of hs. he has no competition and a decent matchup. ofc, there is still the chance that mccoy actually plays. and still mccoy will def be back in a few weeks rendering him worthless.

next i like parmele. again, grate matchup and will carry the load. he may keep the job the rest of hte season.

the reason i have hillman last is bc he will share carries with at least ball and mebbe even moreno too.

I'd figure more owners will chase Kaepernick for a possible one-week rental against NO.

I'm in need of a QB, and I am completely sold about Kaepernick after watching the game last night. His accuracy was incredible, AND he can rush. I didnt see Henne play, is he the real deal as well?
Kaepernick > Henne and it isn't close. Issue is when you need that backup, Henne's more likely to be starting. Kaepernick is a week to week rental.

Urgently seeking Advice regarding qbs. I am locked into the four seed for the playoffs so I have a meaningless game this week. However it's a 2 qb league max 3 qbs on roster and I have a desperate injury situation at qb heading into the playoffs. I have drew Brees so I gotta keep him of course. I am currently Ineligible roster bc I have Ben rape in ir but he was upgraded to D I also have Michael Vick at status D and I picked up and played bradford last week and will be dropping him almost certainly. I will have to pick up a qb off waivers of which I think a few might be an upgrade including kapernick henne jay cutler (Q) Mark Sanchez and jake locker. My question is how sunny are UR projections for Vick and rape are either of them going to be healthy effective next week round one of playoffs if no I need a starter and backup off waivers and what would U rank those qbs at?

Big Ben is definitely out possibly droppable

Kapernick is your way to go

Depends on what you need. Super deep league where you would start a 50/50 timeshare back w/out goaline prefer Donald, most leagues prefer Bryce.

Already grabbed Hillman off waivers.

Do you guys think it would be +EV to dump DeSean and take Blackmon?

I'm leaning that way right now, Philly's offense is just so bad and Vick is listed as doubtful.

You might remember - last week, I traded Vick, Dez, & Shonn Greene for Eli & Bradshaw. In unexpected fashion, my trade partner dropped Vick for Bradford (his other QB was Foles).

How bad would it look if I drop Fitzpatrick to get Vick? I could still drop Fitzpatrick and get Edelman (0.5 PPR; start 3WR + W/R).

Y'all have participated in enough FFB Leagues. Who would you drop Fitzpatrick for - Vick or Edelman?

PS. My other WRs are Demaryius, Andre, Hartline, Amendola, & Britt.
PPS. I'd consider dropping Britt for one, but the Gronk owner dropped him and I've put in a claim for him dropping Britt.

I don't think I could drop DeSean for Blackmon. Blackmon could be the next Ogletree.

last week on the last day of the trade deadline I traded Graham for a few players then I made another trade to get Gronk. Well as it turns out I got gronked. I lost Gronk and McGahee 3 days after I received them both in a trade. I have no other TE so I am forced to the WW where there isn't much. This is a PPR league and I am already in the playoffs so all I care about are weeks 15, 16, and 17. Which one do I pick up?

Mercedes Lewis (Mia, NE, Ten)
Dwayne Allen (Hou, KC, Hou)
Dallas Clark (NO, Stl, Atl)
Jacob Tamme (Balt, Cle, KC)
Logan Paulsen (Cle, Phi, Dal)

Hard to plan for the playoffs with that group -- they are too inconsistent to trust 3 weeks from now. At the moment Allen is probably the most valuable because his competing TE is injured.
