PPR or no? If it's PPR, definitely group 2. If not, I think I still like 2. Even though Jones is obviously worth more than Buchhalter given a healthy Westbrook, I wouldn't really want to be starting him most weeks, and I like Slaton a lot better. CJ's a beast, but it still seems like White's going to continue to take some of his carries. You might be taking more of a chance with group 2 due to uncertainty with Westy's health, but I like Westy+Slaton better than CJ+Slaton, and Buckhalter's still a good play if Westbrook misses more time.

WHIR if you post a link. PPR league. My squad: QB - Cutler, Rivers, Orton RB - Westbrook, Gore, Forte, Morris, Stewart WR - White, Edwards, Bowe, Evans, Holt TE - Gates D - Philly I've been throwing Rivers out there in search of a stud #1 wideout for the last month or so with not much luck. White's starting to look like a legit #1, but I'm not totally sold on relying on him as my go-to WR each week and would love another stud next to him in my lineup. Guy just offered me T.O. for Westy and Evans, which I obviously turned down. Just got off the phone, he needs RB help and sounded very interested in Forte. His team: QB - Rodgers, Delhomme, B. Johnson RB - Turner, Lynch, Grant, R. Johnson WR - T.O., Megatron, Royal, Harrison, Meachum TE - Shockey, Scaife I really wanted to hold onto Forte at first, but with Maroney going down for the year and Morris running wild tonight (albeit against a crap Broncos' D), I feel a little better about Forte being used as trade fodder...though I think I should also take one of his RBs in return just for depth. I'm thinking of something like Megatron/T.O + whatever RB he likes least of Turner/Lynch/Grant for Forte and whichever of my WRs he likes best not named White. Who do you guys like between T.O. and Johnson? Obviously Dallas's offense is going to continue to score a LOT of points when Romo gets back, but they've got a ridiculous amount of weapons now that they've added Roy and I'm not sure how much I like T.O. as a consistent, every-week option. Megatron plays on the most apocraphyl franchise in the league, but he's now their only receving option. That could/will lead to lots of double teams, but the Lions are always going to be passing and playing from behind so I think he's still gonna get his each week. Thoughts?

Edited because I ultimately decided that 85 was just too much of a risk right now. Standard scoring, 1 ppr league, also .5 ppc. I've currently got: QB - Cutler, Rivers WR - Edwards, Holt, Bowe, Evans, Rice, White RB - Westbrook, Gore, Forte, Stewart, Watson TE - Gates, Crumpler D - Philly K - Bironas We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 flex. My main issue with my team right now is that I'm pretty worried about Braylon. I've seen a lot of Browns football over the last 3 or 4 years and he's looking frighteningly similar to the way he looked prior to his breakout '07. Hopefully it's just rust from missing most of the preseason but I'm not convinced yet. I originally had an owner wanted to give me 85 & Hasselbeck for Rivers and Rice, but as I said I decided 85's too much of a risk right now. Jennings is the man in an offense that appears to be pretty potent in GB so I think that's a safer play if this owner will take it. Should I go for Palmer or O'Sullivan as the extra piece?

My 12 team PPR league, pretty standard scoring. Starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR. I've got: QB - Eli, B Johnson RB - Willis, Gore, Jordan WR - Ward, Jennings, Re. Williams, Evans, D. Mason TE - Winslow, Watson K - Kaeding D - KC, Seattle He's got: QB - Rivers, Hasselbeck RB - Dunn, Rhodes, Jones-Drew, M. Anderson, M. Morris WR - S. Smith, Berrian, Colston, Bryant TE - Gonzalez (& Colston) K - Carney D - NO, Indy This guy posted a notice that he needs a RB. Jennings and Williams have helped boost what has been an otherwise awful WR corps, and I'd love to nab Smith with this being a PPR league. Problem is that I don't have much RB depth, and there's really no one on his list (minus Dunn) who I'd feel comfortable starting when one of my guys has a bye week. There are, however, some decent options on waivers. Dayne, Gado, Jacobs, and Mi. Robinson are some of the better choices out there. Should I risk my RB depth and trade one of my guys (Gore or Jordan) for Smith? If so, which guy do I trade? I think Gore might be able to get it done, and it sounds more and more like Robinson is going to get all the goalline carries so his value could take an enormous hit in the coming weeks. I'm not sold on Jordan being "back" yet and Oakland's offense is awful, but I don't know if he's going to be enough to get the trade done (plus I believe he's facing some pretty bad run Ds in the upcoming weeks). Thoughts?

H. Ward (vs. Cin) D. Mason (@ Cle) L. Evans (vs. NYJ) G. Jennings (@ Det) Re. Williams (@ Indy) PPR league, typical scoring. I've gone w/the first 3 all year and they've screwed me pretty good. I think I want to start Williams this week but I'm not sure who to sit....

anyone?

Here's my current squad in a 12 team league (not keeper) that starts 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1K, & 1D: QB - Eli, B. Johnson RB - Jordan, McGahee, Gore WR - Ward, Mason, Evans, Jennings, Gabriel TE - Watson, Winslow K - Elam DEF - Seattle, Miami Admittedly, it's not much of a team....it was my first draft since '04 and my other 2 teams are a lot stronger IMO. Also noteworthy is that it's a PPR league (1 pt per reception...also 10 ypp for RBs, 15 for WRs). A guy in my league recently posted that he needs a starting RB (currently has Portis, Dillon, and Taylor) and is willing to give up a receiver. He mentioned Harrison, Burress, Moss, and Stallworth, and is apparently willing to include Dillon if necessary. I like Mason and Evans, but I'd be happier w/just one of them in my starting lineup. I like Gore a lot and I've been regretting taking Jordan in the 1st round from the minute I clicked "Draft". Unfortunately his trade value probably took a dive last night with his poor showing. Ideally I'd like to get Harrison and Dillon for Jordan and Evans or Mason, but I'm probably asking for too much. Do you guys think Stallworth and Dillon for Jordan and Evans or Mason would be worth it on my end? He also apparently thinks Taylor's worth more than Jordan, so he might not be interested regardless. Problem is I'm a Cane homer and after seeing Jordan last night, I'm hesitant to give up Willis and Gore. Should I just stay put? Should I take my chances w/Jordan and offer him McGahee and a WR for Harrison and Dillon (or some other combination)? Jordan straight up for Harrison or Stallworth and pick up an RB off the WW (not much available.....Jacobs, Dayne, Barber, Morency, A. Thomas, Buckhalter available among others)
