    What do ya'll think of this trade? I lose Lynch, Harrison, and Des. Jackson in exchange for Ronnie Brown and Hines Ward. Now mind you I already have Housh, Fitz, Wayne at WR and S.Jackson, Slaton, T.Jones, J.Lewis at RB.

    I like that trade bc Ward is a def upgrade over Harrison and eventually DJack.

    Your team is stacked either way.

    Who would you guys start this week:

    Cooley against Stl or Fasano against Hou?

    Stl is obviously a crappier team. But the prob is that Wash might just destroy them early and not even need to throw. I can see Moss just catching a bomb or two and the rest of the WR corp not even needing to catch a pass.

    I got Cooley also and will be starting him. I think he'll do well.

    Would you trade LT for Ronnie Brown? I'm thinking of offering some sort of deal that gets me Brown, but I'm worried that once I do LT will revert to his old self.

    Only if your really desperate. Too many variables in Det right now to really be able to count on him IMO.

    Sending Marshall and Cooley for Lynch and Bryant. Although I would like to try to get him to take Fasano instead of Cooley.

    I need a bigger weapon at RB. My team is:

    Palmer, Griese (going)
    Addai, Slaton, Maroney (going)
    Marshall, Fitz, Bowe, Walter (going), El (going)
    Cooley, Fasano
    Prater
    Minn, Car


    I'm really just looking to have more options at RB that can put up huge games like Slaton can. Addai has a few great matchups in the playoff weeks so Id like to keep him too. Whatd you guys feel about this trade?

    The FA's im planning on adding are Camarrilo,Berrian, and/or Lance Moore, Fargas or Kevin Smith

    lol Prater is a little more then decent. He has more points this season then most number 2-3 WRs. The guy knocks down 50 yarders every chance he gets.

    Just read the Scheffler is out for week 6, and I have him in two leagues. One is pretty important ($$$), so wondering who I should pick up. Top available FA's are Shlancoe, Zach Miller, Dustin Keller, D. Martin, D. Rosario, Greg Olson. Todd Heap is there too, but he hasn't done anything this year.

    Olson, schedule is tasty
    Miller, good schedule and Russell looks a bit better now
    D Martin, pass
    Shlancoe, pass
    Keller, pass
    Rosario, pass if Steve Smiths shoulder is fine

    Miller got alot of TDs last year. With the running suffering so much, I would expect big Ben to look for him in the red zone alot again.

    Who are you dropping or adding since it's a lopsided numbers trade?

    Depends on your needs. Addai has some tough games coming up but his schedule after these next few is really nice. Pitt looks like they will use more shotgun hurry up offensive plays. Perfect timing on the bye helps both PItt and Cleveland to get themselves back in order and healthy. Lewis has maybe 4 of 11 games where you should play him so he will not fill the role of every week starter.

    NM, trade got pulled already. I think I'm gonna wait till after this week and see how Cooley, Addai and Palmer do before making any moves.

    Palmer, Quinn

    Addai, Slaton, Bush

    Marshall, Fitz, Bowe, Camarillo, Walter, Randel-el

    What are their matchups? I would keep an eye on LT obviously and see what his deal is.

    Whatd you think of my trade above?
     
  26. calphin

    calphin deadly at 250 yards!!


    I think I would take it


    Colts O-line stinks. if I'm not mistaken, the have been averaging only 68 yards a game on the ground.

    If depends on your lineup, but your qb situation is bad, so I would probably do it regardless. If you have qb, wr,wr,rb,rb,te,k,d, then you would be fine. If you have a flex, getting rid of bowe would be a pain, but may be worth it. I would expect Randel el to be an ok backup with as well as JC is doing in Washington.

    Edit: Slaton is fine. I was thinking Selvin Young.

    Slaton is hurt? What?

    The trade Im talking about is Bowe for Rivers. I only have Palmer at QB otherwise.

    Na he must be mistaken. I think Im gonna do this Bowe for Rivers trade. I need more stability at QB, even if Rivers is a lil beat up.

    No prob man. If you needed to start Young anyways, you were prob in big trouble to begin with.

    What about J Lewis vs NYG

    at RB I have

    Slaton,Williams,Fargas,Sproles,McClain,T Jones & lewis who should start?

    Since you only have Palmer I would do it but I am not high on Rivers. Is Orton out there?

    Orton is a sleeper pick. He's consistent if nothing else.
