So the Bell owner who's team is sinking fast offered me Bell for David Johnson, I own Connor. Is this a no brainer to lock up the Pittsburgh backfield for the entire year at the expense of giving up DJ?

I'm so torn on this subject! I'm never one to bail early on a top 5 pick but I just can't help but feel this offense is going nowhere fast. Problem is the longer you sit on this situation the worse your potential return is going to be on him if the ship doesn't right fast (which I don't think it will). If I could get another RB that has underachieved through 2 weeks like a Dalvin Cook or a RB with some injury issues with high upside like Fournette I'd be really tempted to move DJ!

Word has it that he missed a team photo earlier in the week!

So that is another week and another fantasy total saved by a couple goal line TD's. His yard per carry has been horrible the past month+ and it's very apparent that when Cleveland gets down their run/pass ratio goes full tilt into pass. With a road game next up on the schedule against Denver who should have a lead rather quickly, who's starting him in the week that matters most? I'll be sitting him for Moreno this week as I did last week!

Romo / Freeman Brees Luck Ryan

Not that I put too much emphasis on website rankings but this is what one popular website had in their write up for player rankings today regarding Richardson: "Tough spot. Almost impossible to bench him, but his performance has been going downhill for over a month and the Redskins are tough vs. the run. If RG3 plays and the Browns are likely playing from behind, the Browns run:pass ratio is ridiculous when playing from behind. Consider benching him for RB2's like Knowshon Moreno and Reggie Bush." Looks like some of the so called "experts" are also second guessing Richardson's possible production.

I know first hand how many points Richardson has put on a weekly basis, in my non ppr league however since week 12 when Moreno took over the starting role, Richardson has only outscored Moreno by a little less than 3 points in that time span and thats with having 3 more scores than Moreno.

Since Moreno was brought up lets use him as an example as I think he fits the bill perfect for a alternative RB with a better matchup. If you had a RB like Moreno sitting on your bench facing a Ravens DEF that has been generous to RB's on the year and going to more than likely receive 20+ carries, would you think about playing someone of his caliber instead of Richardson?

Many of you fellow Trent Richardson owners have been riding him most of the year with nice results and he could be the reason that many of you made your playoffs but over his past 6 games has there been a trend established (rookie wall or slowed by injury) that might make you think twice if you have alternative options. His yards per carry over the past 6 games have been in order 5.1, 4.2, 3.4, 2.9, 3.6, & 2.3. That is a steady decline for six straight weeks with the exception of week 13 (and that week he had his second lowest yardage total of the 6 with 72 yards). Fortunately he has been finding the endzone but with TD's so hard to predict is Richardson a big risk against Washington (week 15) & Denver (week 16) who have top 10 run defenses?

Green Bay homer here. Word out of Green Bay was that we actually did make a play for Lynch 2 years ago, with Thompson offering up our 4th round pick for Lynch. Seattle also offered up a 4th round pick and because their's was a higher draft pick he went to Seattle. I'm not too optimistic that Jackson will be coming here because Thompson generally treats draft picks like gold but if there is a player he covets enough it appears he might be willing to deal a draft pick if the price is right.

Since October 23rd New Orleans has played exactly 1 game outside of a dome. That game was on the road at Tennessee where they barely escaped with a victory (22-17) in a game that the Saints looked horrible. I will be very interested to see how this offensive juggernaut handles possible back to back outdoor games (against SF & GB), I predict they get by SF but back to back road wins outdoors is too much for a team so use to playing in domes to overcome.

As for the others... JtmoneyJag: I like your team better 420allstars: I like the other team better VinegarStrokes: Slight edge to team 2 Here is our championship matchups: Team 1 QB: Brees RB: M. Bush RB: D. Williams WR: Megatron WR: Steve Smith TE: Keller K: Gostowski DEF: Giants Team 2 QB: Vick RB: Rice RB: Peterson WR: Marshall WR: Colston TE: Gates K: Crosby DEF: Texans

WOW I'm not sure you would win if you could play Lynch & Holmes in addition to your current lineup That is one hell of a lineup the other guy has put together!!!

Anyone having any second thoughts after Fraziers comments tthis afternoon... (KFFL) Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said RB Adrian Peterson (ankle) may not receive a full workload in Week 15 depending on how his ankle is feeling. I'm really torn on this as I have Felix Jones on my bench with a great matchup. Normally wouldn't overthink things an just plug AP into my lineup and be done with it but Fraziers comments coupled with the fact that AP himself said he's 85% has me second guessing if this is going to be a good outing from AP?

(KFFL) Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (ankle) said he wants to play in the team's Week 15 game so he can provide a helping hand to his fantasy owners. "It's very important, especially for my fantasy team owners," Peterson said. "They've been giving me a hard time." Peterson added fantasy owners have constantly been asking him about his status.
