ETA: everyone saying he got trade raped, look at his starting lineup! His bench is probably better than some starting lineups too


This is what i was thinking. Yes i gave up miles but im strong at WR. yes i gave up benson but im fairly strong at rb. i was very weak at qb and i think i got a top 5 guy there now. I just think my starting lineup improved overall. and i think i can work together a couple of my bench wrs such as santonio and devry for a decent running back now.

I would start Holmes over Bowe every week. Bowe disappears against decent to good defenses. Last year he had his best year. Do not expect anywhere near that this year.

I actually like your move at the QB position, but you lost in the other two.

Stafford will be a top 5 fantasy QB at season's end, injury permitted.

I don't think he will be above Brady, Rivers, Brees, Rodgers, and Vick (injury permitting as well).

I think he has a chance to finish as high as 2nd, but 5th isn't out of the question at all.

Of course not, but I was just saying that I would not "expect" him to be top 5.

I like the trade. Doesn't matter that you got a worse wr and rb. You upgraded big time on qb, which is especially important if Stafford can put up 35 points in a qb-happy league.

Miles Austin's future fortunes are uncertain, which is true of Dallas as a whole. I know, because I have Austin in a strong wr corps that got a lot weaker after this week of injuries.

You gave up Benson for ingram, ok -- that's a clear downgrade. But your starting lineup is what matters, and you weren't going to bench rice ever, and for all we know at this point benson and blount are pretty interchangeable.

this is what i was thinking. With miles out and wondering if hamsting issues linger longer, if romo is healthy to throw, if dez will take away from miles performance. to many ifs.

yes the benson for ingram was the kicker, he needed a rb, and i needed a qb. we both got what we wanted.
