What's everyone's thoughts? Ankle issues linger, and I don't want to have the hassle every week of starting Charles/Davis and watching the other go off on my bench.

I have Charles, Le'Veon, Ball, Rainey, Asiata, DBrown, Davis and Ivory in PPR 10 team (Start WRx3, RBx2, TEx1, W/R/T x 1). Would you trade Charles for someone like Jordy if they're weak at RB? Or just sit tight and and hope Charles gets back to last year's form. I'm 0-2 and don't like it one bit.

1st week Ryan/Mega/49ers killed me, then last week FU Graham/Sproles

Need your full roster to make an opinion. But in theory, I'd consider it.

You're gonna win every game with or without Charles.

I'd stay put if I were you. You have a good WR corps. Charles should bounce back in a few games, IMO. Just hold tight.

Being able to use Charles as your RB1, LBell as your RB2, and Ball as your flex could be big down the stretch.

How many teams are in this league? That's a 19 round draft (just counting up your rostered players) and a very solid team.

By the looks of it they drafted 6 or 7 players in a row then the next guy does the same. OP picked 3rd I do believe.

Don't trade Charlrs for Jordy. Based on your team, you could probably trade Chris Ivory for him b/c it's apparent you play with a bunch of morons

I think you might be right.

Or just wait for the Jordy owner to drop him when he has a bad game and scores less than 15 points.

OK guys, it's 10 team snake draft. I drafted 3rd and took Charles. Before the season I traded Harvin/PThomas for Ball. Then after week 1 I traded Vereen/Forsett/Hunter for Le'Veon. This league doesn't have waivers, everyone is FA, so it's every man for himself and I pay attention. I watch RedZone on Sundays and probably pay more attention to this stuff than I should

That said, I'm 0-2 because this is a PPR league with bonuses for big plays and 7pt TDs so a couple of players going off beats you. I'm just frustrated with having as good a team as I do and being 0-2

I'll sit tight and let the season play out.

While I agree this is true in a league with a lot of people like us that pay attention, it's FRUSTRATING to play in leagues with waivers with folks that just auto draft and pay no attention. But they'll look Tuesday and whoever the big pick ups are will put waivers in on those players. I don't know, I like it both ways, but in more competitive and pay leagues I definitely think waivers are a must.

Sure today, but before the season it wasn't that bad. Everyone hates on Harvin but he went off in the Super Bowl, had rave reviews throughout camp, was absolutely going to be the #1 WR in that offense with a coach that apparently loves him. Thomas was the outright #1 RB in NO, and at the time, everyone still thought Ingram was crap. Ball was a crapshoot. Rated highly, but a 2nd year RB that got beat out by Moreno last year, and honestly hasn't looked that great this year.
