I think you can assume that Turner will see as much use as he did prior to the injury. Before his injury he had 9 carries for 75 yards. If it weren't for the injury he probably would've had a huge game.

On another note. I was stashing VJax hoping he was traded. Do I continue to stash him? The only player I could see myself picking up at the moment would be Beanie Wells.

Your other options are too good; I wouldn't even bother with Turner since a groin injury can linger.

I have a nice dilemma at the QB spot in a league that scores 25yds = 1pt, 6pts TD, -2 INT nothing else goofy.

Cutler
Vick
Big Rape


I'm fielding trade offers like crazy, but most of them are awful (some guy offered Robert Meachem for Vick straight up!?!)

I'm thinking of holding onto Big Rape since no one will probably trade for him anyways and he seems like a steady fantasy QB. Big question is Vick or Cutler for what exactly...

Rest of my team:

RB: SJax/Charles/Forte/Jacobs/Donald Brown
WR: Wayne/Boldin/MSW/Laurent
TE: Cooley

2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR so ideally I start 3 RBs each week.

I'm kind of torn between trading Vick and living and dying with Cutler (I'm a Bears fan...) with Big Rape on the bench just in case or trying to trade Cutler and rolling with the Vick/Big Rape combo. I'm just thinking how awesome it would be to win my league with Mike Vick owning everyone.

Well, Vick and Cutler have the same bye week, so you probably don't wanna end up trading Big Rape.

Who of those 3 do you look to deal?

package vick with a rb or wr for a stud at that position. go for cj, adp, mjd, rice, andre, moss, roddy etc.

vick+forte for mjd or rice may go thru. vick+sjax for cj is worth a shot.

Murphy seems to get more consistent targetting. Obv 2 games in isn't a great sample size, but still.

What is up with these espn projection points? I look at my starters against my opponent's starters and feel decent to good about the matchup, and then I see that I'm projected as a 22 point dog. F that ****.

edit: not really complaining; been a dog both weeks and won both.

tl;dr (sorry but wanted all the info out there)

10 man league (no PPR)

week 3 starters
QB - Dallas TQB (Dallas team QB - Romo)
RB - Adrian Peterson
RB - Joseph Addai
WR - Brandon Marshall
WR - Mike Sims-Walkler
WR - Steve Breaston
TE - Zach Miller
K - Robbie Gould
* D/ST - Atlanta Falcons

bench
QB - Falcons TQB
RB - Justin Forsett
RB - Chester Taylor
RB - Reggie Bush (I put Bush in my IR slot)
WR - Legedu Naanee
WR - Bernard Berrian
TE - Tony Gonzalez
* D/ST - NY Giants

* I'm going to drop either Falcons-D or Giants-D and pick up a free agent D for this week.

Here is my question: I own the #3 waiver position this week (in my league you go to the back of the line after using a waiver pick-up). The WR position is killing me. Would you use a waiver pick-up this week on a WR? If so would you pick up Kevin Walter, Louis Murphy, Devin Hester, or Demaryius Thomas. If you do make a move do you drop Naanee or Berrian? My record is 0-2 fwiw.

And then I have 3 WRs to choose from:

Owens (@Car)
D. Thomas (Ind)

pick two rbs and one rb/wr from this list or the wr list:
Bradshaw (Ten)
Benson (@Car)
SJax (Wash)

explanation - i wanna play orton but indy has been pretty good against schaub and manning so far, palmer does play a ****ty car defense but im not liking what hes been doing.
i wish i had the confidence to play welker every week. owens is the same as carson palmer. dont know if d. thomas is real deal yet, but they will probably be behind early and passing a lot.
sjax plays a really bad wash. pass defense so i dont know how many carries he will get but do know that he can catch the ball.
imo

Pretty close IMO. Hightower averaged over 10yds per carry against ATL last week, but idk how many touches Thomas is gonna see compared to McCoy. I probably go with McCoy since he's coming off a huge game.

I don't like Fitz this week. Derek Anderson is awful, and Fitz will have to contend with Asomuagh, who limited Clayton to just two catches last week (admittedly for TDs).

12-team league. No PPR. 17 players per team. Start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2WRs, 1 RB/WR, 1TE, 1 OP (any offensive player). 6 points for any TD, 1 point per 25 yards passing and 10 yards receiving. Bonuses for long plays.

Basically, it makes sense to start 2 QBs unless a RB/WR has a sick matchup, simply because QBs generally score more points.

I have 4 QBs and am thinking of trading one (and probably dropping one - Hasselbeck). Thoughts on what I should do? Package one QB with a mediocre back/receiver and go for an elite back/receiver?

Here's my team:

QB: Vick
RB: Gore
RB: D. Williams
RB/WR:Fred Taylor
WR: DeSean Jackson
WR: Steve Smith (NYG)
TE: Vernon Davis
D/ST: Bengals
OP: Donavan McNabb
K: David Akers

Bench: Ben Roethlisburger, Matt Hasselbeck, Jonathan Stewart, Nate Washington, Santonio Holmes, Mike Thomas, Cowboys D/ST.

My thoughts were to start the best two QB matchups each week between Vick, McNabb, and Roethlisburger. But do people think trading one of them will significantly help?

Sorry; I know this isn't very specific, but I appreciate any advice.

ESPN has this to say regarding Nate Kaeding:

"It's a rare drive where the Chargers are going to end up settling for three, as they continue to play "all or nothing" style football."

Should I be looking into a different kicker?

Edit: The Chargers also have a really easy schedule coming up.
