I was rolling til Cobb went down. That brought some bad juju on me for a few weeks. I like my team, but there's half the league that could beat me any given weekend I think.

I wonder what Mega would cost. Salsa needs a QB and I have a top five one sitting on my bench.

The only offer for Graham I would even consider starts with Adrian Peterson.

Getting WR1 production out of a TE makes Graham absurdly expensive from the seller's end.

Had to test the waters. Never know when might catch someone just right.

I hear you. I'm probably going to make Salsa an offer for Megatron, just to see if he's for sale at a price I'm willing to pay.

If I were stronger at RB, I'd put together a combo, but I just don't have depth, although I am really happy with the starters. I just gotta stay healthy. TE is really the only position I'm just not happy with now, and I should be. Def is interchangeable week to week.

My running back depth is my biggest issue in making any trades at the moment. I would like a stud WR, but not sure I can give up the RB it would likely take to nab a guy like Calvin Johnson, Dez, of B Marsh.

How can anyone really be feeling good about running backs? I mean it seems to me there are really only a handful you can count on, the rest are hit or miss. I haven't really examined it league-wide, but I bet most are really not that deep at RB. Especially with some of the good ones either not producing or on IR. Bradshaw really hurt me. I fully expected Bradshaw to remain the man in Indy. I wasn't that threatened by TRich because Ahmad has always been money for me provided he wasn't hurt. He's a damn good back and could always be counted on for 12 to 15 points on about 15 to 20 touches. But back to my point, I really can't recall looking at the WW at RB at any point during the season in the past and seeing absolutely no one worth grabbing over a freaking IR. There is literally no one I really am just dying to have. The only people worth picking up are WR's. It's just not a RB league and it seems to get worse and worse every year. Maybe it's just a perception thing, but it certainly seems that way.

All true. It seems like the tight ends are picking up the slack. Ten years ago, you would be hard pressed to find more than five reliable tight ends that produced consistently. Now it seems like they are everywhere.

If this was a keeper league I would only want Gronk, Bernard, or Ellington

That's certainly true. You've got ADP, Charles, Forte, Lynch, Shady, and Moreno who you can generally rely on. It starts to get sketchy right after the top 6.

It's not just your perception. Looking at the passing numbers, it almost seems obvious. Of course, WR have more of a boom/bust element to deal with.

That's the real struggle in today's FF, fielding a consistent team.
