Then there's Brad. At 40, he'll probably still double Bulger's stats, which really isn't saying much. This is a close call. I can't really pick one over the other.

I just read some pundit who opined that Johnson was a bust this week as the Rams are not a cupcake D against the run. Just thought I'd pass that on.

what about Forte/Moore for Grant/Jennings?

---

Well, the way I see it, there are two ways to look at it.
Forte is doing well for me in one of my leagues and his only "bad" game was against the Eagles rushing defense. He has not given me any reason to let him go as of now.
But, this is also about the time that Grant found his game last year and paired with Jennings, should be a valuable move if Forte does drop off. The only thing with Jennings is if Rodgers tweaks his injury again b/c it seemed like Flynn looked for Driver as his 1st option instead of Jennings.

I guess that if you think Forte is going to drop off, this would be a good move for you.

Just got proposed a trade. I would get Larry Johnson and Tony Gonzalez. I would give up Chicago's D, but I already have Pitt's D.

My other running backs are Lynch, R. Brown, and Kevin Smith. Receivers are Bowe, Cotchery, R. Wayne, Marshall and Colston.

Starters -

QB - Peyton Manning

RB - Larry Johnson

RB - Matt Forte

RB/WR - Wes Welker

WR - Braylon Edwards

WR - Lance Moore

TE - Chris Cooley

DEF/SP - Giants

K - Nick Folk

Bench

DeSean Jackson

Robert Royal

Darren Sproles

Le'Ron McClain

Brian Griese

Marques Colston

Jets D/ST

Probably going to replace Moore with Colston if it looks like he will be effective closer to the end of the week.

Will also likely put the Jets as my starting Def/Sp since they are playing Oakland.

Any thoughts/advice? I need it, I am 2-4.

I just traded away Randy Moss and Edge (he rides my bench all the time since I have Jacobs, Slaton and Lynch), for Calvin Johnson. Some may shake their heads at me, but I think that with Williams gone, he'll get even more opportunites at the ball.

I'm correct in thinking this right?

While this would give you 4 good WR's + picking up Galloway, that will leave you with say 4 1/2 (with Galloway hurt most of the time). If you think that you can trade a couple of them for a stud RB, who would you try to get? Also, do you use a flex option? Just wondering because in most of the leagues I am in, WR's get more points (by the bunches) but have to have an incredible game (at least a TD + 100 yards) to offset the consistent numbers put up by RB's most of the time. I know all leagues are different and there are exceptions to every rules (B Marshall ) but this is just from my experience.

WR - Braylon Edwards
WR - Lance Moore
TE - Chris Cooley
DEF/SP - Jets D/ST
K - Nick Folk

Bench
Brian Griese (drop for Anderson, Shaub or Ryan)
Darren Sproles (I would hold on to him in case LT goes down or if you get return points)
DeSean Jackson (bye)
Marques Colston (I am waiting one more week)


Use any of these to get another RB for the flex
Robert Royal (when will you sit Cooley for him)
Le'Ron McClain (trade him while he has some value before McGahee comes back not to mention that Rice is filling in nicely)
Giants D/ST (I usually only keep one defense after thier bye week)

*or you could pair Welker and Moore/McClain for a nice RB and take a chance on Colston this week. But even if this week doesn't work out, you would look pretty good with Edwards, D Jackson and Colston + you will have added a good RB for the flex position. Just my opinion. Good luck.

Good/Bad idea

Trade Westbrook for Steve Smith

PPR league. I got Parker, Brown, Portis, and Julius Jones for my RB. Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Cotchery, and Berrian.

I get Chad Johnson and give up Steve Slaton.

You can do a WHOLE lot better than Johnson for Slaton IMO.
