    McGahee's Backup?

    McGahee has no handcuff. Maybe Hillman or Moreno is worth owning if McGahee goes down, but they're not worth a pickup right now.
  2. After 3-4 weeks of games under our belt, we now know who the good & bad match ups will be. Plus, you now probably have a good idea of what you have in your team. So time to make some adjustments through the trade market. Here I'll advocate 3-4 QBs to buy based on strength of schedule, and whether their role is expected to grow in the second half of the season. I also have included a couple of players you can pickup off the waiver wire, since many fantasy leagues have teams that just refuse to trade. Quarterbacks Peyton Manning - The best QB to target on the trade market right now is probably Peyton Manning. He has one of the 3 easiest schedules in the league coming up, and his team will also start to improve through the year as they adjust to playing under Manning's new offense. Use all of the "no arm strength" talk as a buy low opportunity. Philip Rivers - He currently ranks 21st in points per game, yet even in a down year last year, he finished 8th. He also has a cakewalk schedule upcoming. The price tag on Rivers should be low & ripe for the picking. Joe Flacco - He currently ranks 6th in fantasy points per game scored, and this isn't an anomaly. The offensive philosophy has shifted considerably in Baltimore. Flacco has to face Houston & Dallas in the next 3 weeks, and then he hits his bye week. If his owners are feeling down on him after those two tough matchups, and they're in a bye week crunch, steal Flacco away before he blows up with an easy schedule in the 2nd half. Carson Palmer - See a trend here with AFC West QB's? The AFC West has poor pass defenses this year, and they play the NFC South with cake matchups against Tampa, Carolina, and New Orleans. And if you're in a league that rarely gets trades done, and you need some QB help off the waiver wire, Carson Palmer is a pretty good target. Tim Tebow - Mark Sanchez sucks, and Tebow has provided QB1 value when he starts in the past. Sometimes its that simple.

    Which trade should I offer/do?

    I'd prolly try to put a 2 for 2 package together with one of your RBs. Your 2nd WR spot can be filled through the waiver wire. The replacement level WRs are plentiful, and guys like Danny Amendola, McCluster, Bess or Hartline, Avery, or McCoy should be out there on your wire. Add as needed, play matchups.

    Which trade should I offer/do?

    Those are the only ones that have a prayer, and even then they'll prolly get declined. How'd you end up with such a thin team in a 12 man PPR? It seems like you don't have a 7th, 8th, or 9th round pick. Also, you should consider trading Steve Smith, since he gets downgraded in PPR formats. I wouldn't be looking to trade a weekly difference-maker like MJD, unless I had RB depth on your bench behind him. You're better off with MJD + Replacement level scrub than you are with any 2 players that anyone will likely offer you.
  5. I'm in a two QB league, and I waited super late on QB. How would you rank these QB's for the rest of the year? I've included each player's yards per attempt & fantasy points so far. 1) Carson Palmer - 7.13 YPA, 35.5 fantasy points 2) Matt Cassel - 7.45 YPA, 34.8 fantasy points 3) Christian Ponder - 8.31 YPA, 25.4 fantasy points 4) Mark Sanchez - 7.48 YPA, 30.1 fantasy points 5) Jake Locker - 6.50 YPA, 21.4 fantasy points I think for the rest of the year, I'd rank them like that. Palmer's defense is terrible, and McFadden doesn't seem to be the same guy in Knapp's scheme. Cassel is in the same sort of situation, terrible D and a mediocre run game. Sanchez would totally be higher if I knew he could keep up the rushing TD's he's put up from the past 3 years. But with Tebow hanging around, it seems like his job security and rushing TD potential is capped. Ponder's TD totals seem capped with AP around, and he's not putting up rushing numbers like he did last year. Jake Locker just looks like a bust through two games, and I'm not sure if Kenny Britt saves him.

    Rate my team. 12man PPR league. Should I drop anyone?

    Trade Smith while he's healthy, get yourself a real WR2.

    Should I trade Jaquizz Rogers for Mike Goodson

    What he said. Stand pat with Rodgers unless he'll give you more in return.

    Not liking my team much...rate my team please

    Pick Kyle Rudolph/Jermaine Gresham/Greg Olsen up off of waivers. Your TE situation is below replacement level. I'd prolly cut Winslow to make that addition. I'd probably have drafted 2 TE's, instead of 2 QB's as well.
  9. In week 1 & 2 (no byes, few injuries) if you're starting any of the backup SD RB's in a 12 team league, your team is terrible. I own Mathews in both leagues I'm in so far (he's just SO TASTY in round 3) and I couldn't care less if someone picks up Ronnie Brown off of waivers. I'm starting Ridley or Peyton Hillis in the two leagues I own Mathews in, and I expect them to do better than Ronnie Brown or Curtis Brinkley. Mathews has no clear handcuff right now, so unless you're in a super deep league, you're not owning any other SD running back.

    MJD Owner wants my Rashad

    You're getting ripped. Tell him you want a WR that's being drafted in the 8th round range. That's typically where Jennings is being drafted these days. So you'd want like Garcon, Blackmon, Titus Young, Kenny Britt, Meachem, Kendall Wright, Greg Little, or Denarius Moore for Rashad. Tampa Mike is an 11th round pick, so you're giving up 3 rounds of value there, and you have all the leverage in this trade. So if anything, he should be the one giving up value.

    Just Finished Draft 12 Team PPR

    1) You drafted a QB too early unless you got Eli in like the 8th round. Trade him for upgrades at WR. 2) Your WR's take a rankings hit in PPR (except Wayne). 3) You need a backup TE, Witten is unlikely to go week 1. I'd suggest Rudolph/Gresham. 4) Cut Alex Smith for a backup QB with some upside (or better yet, no backup QB). The #1 thing PPR does is devalue the QB position relative to the other ones (because QB's don't catch anything). You want to be the last team in your league to draft a QB while you're stocking up on every other position.

    Leshoure

    Its the achilles injury & the fact that the lions threw the ball more than any other team in the league last year. But I agree, he has significant upside compared to where he's being drafted.

    Ced Benson

    Sigh, as much as I hate Cedric Benson this year, I totally drafted him on my team last night . Drafted him in the 10th round as my RB4. I guess I "like" him at that price, its still just kinda icky. Also, the people comparing him to Ryan Grant are nuts. Totally different era, different QB, and a young runner in his prime. Now the Packers have the best QB in a league which has switched over to a passing one.

    Ced Benson

    If you combined James Starks & Ryan Grant into one guy, you'd get 267 carries & 3 touchdowns. 267 carries comes to 1014 rushing yards at 3.8 yards a pop. And that assumes that Benson never misses a game, and Benson gets ALL of the workload (which is almost never the case). There's no way he reaches 1100 rushing yards and 10 TD's. Lets put money on it, I'll give you odds

    Ced Benson

    Do not draft list IMO. There's no way he reaches the 18.2 carries per game he got in Cincinatti last year. If I were projecting a line for Benson, I'd say: 190 carries, 3.8 ypc (his career average), 722 rushing yards, 160 receiving yards, 5 total touchdowns. 118.2 fantasy points, good for the 33rd overall fantasy RB in 2011. If you thought Brandon Jacobs was great last year, then I suppose you can draft Cedric Benson. He offers next to no upside, and PLENTY of downside. He's old, he's never been super talented, and Alex Green has looked pretty good in preseason. These low upside picks are exactly the types of players you stay away from in the middle to late rounds.
