fitz might be at the high end of the top 10 in the league this for wr's, guys like sidney rice and steve smith (nyg) are roasting, he could have easily got a nate buerlson off waiver wires in week 2 and could have out scored fitz at this point in the season.... you get a guy on a good offense who can string off 300+ yard games, thats a keeper.... but he (scavs) had brees on the bench so all of this is pointless

more details upfront next time you want my opinion tom, i wanna see your whole roster and who you're playing next week before i vote on any more of your polls

plus league scoring format. and keeper rules (if any).

but the big one is your roster. i traded heath miller for mark sanchez and know without any doubt it was a good trade for me. despite the fact all i got was mark sanchez for heath miller.

I'm the biggest Favre hater on the planet and you have to take Favre/Benson. The Vikes have gone into official loco mode letting Favre throw 51 times a game while running the best player in football less than 20 times. Benson is an absolute stud and I'm pissed I traded him in my one league two weeks ago for Ochocinco cause I thought I was set with Westbrook and Ryan Grant and I already had Benson in my other league and hated doubling down. Westbrook/McCoy will drive you completely insane, you'll never know who is going to start and you'll never know who is going to finish. With Benson you know who is going to start and finish and I'm sure his backup is available on waivers to cover you in an injury.

You can start 3 RB's in this league
Roster Pre-Trade
Brees/Favre
Jacobs/Benson/Felix Jones/Bernard Scott
Ochocinco/SimsWalker/Maclin/E. Bennett/Meachem
V. Davis/Kellen Davis
Crosby
Steelers/49ers

Roster After Trade goes through
Brees
Jacobs/Westbrook/McCoy/Felix Jones
Fitz/Ochocinco/SimsWalker/Maclin/E.Bennett/Meachem
V.Davis
Crosby
Steelers/49ers/Detriot

Before you guys say anything about the Roster, it is a 14 team league so the waiver wire is bare, Kellen Davis is on my team as a bye week replacement and I am dropping him his week for Detroit's D because Pitt is on bye and 49ers are against Indy.

Within the trade, I am really planning on Benson shitting the bed, and his schedule isn't very easy either. PLUS, and this is kinda important, he has a bye this week, so I couldn't use him this week anyways, where I am essentially getting two players I can USE this week.

Further more, we don't have playoffs, so I am going to start getting ready for Week 16 and 17, after this week I am going to drop Meachem, Lions, 49ers and pick up Sorgi, Brunell, and Matt Moore

I'm even better set up for next year as I will get to choose between these players as my 15th and 16th round picks for next year

Maclin, Jeremy WR PHI
Bennett, Earl WR CHI
McCoy, LeShon RB PHI
Davis, Vernon TE SF
Crosby, Mason K GB

Probably Maclin and Davis...In a 14 team league next year, those two will go 4th or 5th round probably

I hope for your sake that Fitzgerald has an amazing second half cause otherwise you are in big trouble. With Westbrook's concussion I see him splitting carries the rest of the year leading you to a frustrating decision every week. Meanwhile, Benson is a sure play every week. A sure RB is always worth more than sure WR.

You don't think teams are going to start stacking the box on him, I sure as hell do. I can start 3RB's and probably will if they will split carries....

Palmer has done well enough that I don't think stacking the box is a great option. To be perfectly honest in a 14 team league I might think about grabbing Scott again in case Benson gets injured. Then you get the perfect scenario.

The pass sets up the run in Cincy, at least so far.

Just Make sure you dont start westbrook this week as he probably wont play

ughhhhh

you should have unloaded jacobs when you had a chance, that guy has been a huge bust all season long. 2 plays in 4 plays out... touchdown bradshaw, all season long

He'll be fine, Bradshaw is going to get hurt, already hobbling. And he is another that really does 'get' his points. With having Fitz/Ocho/Sims-Walker, I can afford to have 'consistent' RB's now instead of those homerun guys...

sims-walker..... god, everyone thinks this guy is the goods, i'm not sold (probably b/c i have tory holt).

if you're looking for 60 yards a game and maybe 1 reception for 4 yards, then jacobs is your guy. Personally i would have tried to trade jacobs over benson. With your backs now being Jacobs/Westbrook/McCoy/Felix Jones you seriously have a legit shot of NOT gaining a 100 yards on the ground in a given week from the cobination of those 4. Philly simply doesn't run the ball enough (so i hope you get points for receptions) jacobs is a 60-75 yard guy at best, felix is in a 3 back set in dallas..... come on tom, we gotta think about these things!!

I have had incredible bad luck in this league, I have the #1 Schedule difficulty, gone 2-5, but I have the third most points, out of 14 teams, I wanted to change it up. I got TWO starters for one of mine, I kinda think that is a no-brainer.

I mean if Brees were to get hurt, I would be screwed anyways so why not try and get something for him now and try and make a run. So in how it affects me, I traded Benson, who has been solid 14 points a week in this league, for Fitz and Eagles Back, which is probably about 20 points a week combined, and that is without either of those players have any monster monster games yet, which you know Fitz is going to have (150 2 TD type game)
