Your team has more trade potential

The problem trying to grab quality backs late is there are few actually worth grabbing and it's a complete crap shoot. There's still good WR talent back that far and you can hit on a WR1 back in the 9th or 10th round. Ask Maclin owners this year and Josh Gordon owners last year.

I need to value qb more. Third year I've been scraping together non consistent performances because I waited too long.

But even the top RB are struggling....

Peterson with suspension
Lacy has been inconsistent
McCoy started slow
Ball was inconsistent
Forte has been a stud
Bell consistent
Gio started sting before injury
Ellington consistent
Foster great but some injuries
Charles great but injuries
Murray just a stud



The best backs this year have been Forte, L. Bell, Ellington, Bradshaw, Forsett, Asiata, Murrary, Charles, Foster, Morris, L. Miller

It is a mix of top back for first 3 rounds and those you could of grabbed round 6 and later.

AP had an unforeseeable suspension that wouldn't have made much a difference if it didn't follow Ricegate. AP is a stud if he's playing.

Charles and Forte worth first round billing. Shady has been a little disappointing but I think his owners will be happy come playoff time.

The only real flops in that list who didn't get suspended were Lacy and Ball. Would you rather pass on that list even if it means maybe getting Lacy, Ball, or ADP and try to hit a Miller, Morris, or Asiatia or get two from the list of first to third round picks?

You're gonna bust more often than not going six or later to fill in rbs. Have a much better chance hitting on a wr at that point.

So we need to decide whether we're doing keepers or not b/c it's coming down to the time where you really start making those sort of decisions. Let's iron this out right away.

Tuck started 2 players on bye and a 3rd who saw no action and I will still lose

I think I can clinch a playoff spot if I hang on for the win.

Yeah, you've pretty much got the team to beat. Rodgers, Orange Julius, Forte. Team Fleshy is the odds on favorite.

If I can just make it into the playoffs, I think my team could make a run. The hard part is getting there.

Tha frick? You're up 49 points, and I've got a RB and defense left. I think you're gonna be alright.

I can't trust my WRs for shite.

I never feel good until it's over. I've seen defenses put up over 20 just in the last few weeks, and 25-30 is not impossible for a decent RB like Sproles.

And Duke, you nailed it. It's just about getting in the playoffs. Whole new season from there.

Yeah, I actually meant to leave the kicker alone and take a zero from him, but I did mean to drop KC for a RB to replace martin but I didn't go to sleep until very early sunday morning and when I woke up at 3 PM Sunday afternoon, I was like FUUUUUU. I did make one change so that I at least have someoene who will be out on the field tonight. I might have dropped KC for a kicker if Carolina's or Philly's kicker were available but I'm kinda glad I didn't. KC def is looking good.

See what I mean?

And why hasn't Sproles received points for his return TD? Does that only go to the D?

Scared the crap out of me.

Now on to secure a first round bye and revenge against Ducky in three weeks.

I'm taking you down this week Salsa. I need this win to back my way into the playoffs. Julio Jones looks forward to dancing on your Gump grave and the Sanchize will lead the parade.
