    Vick to play Sunday

    Just caught the story on Philly.com. Source indicates that Vick, although not at 100%, will be declared the starter for Sunday's game against NY.

    Waiver WR Scoop and Play (Week 8 Installment)

    I'm starting Durham over Nicks as my WR3 this week. After watching Dallas roll their coverage to DeSean Jackson last week, I think the same will hold true for Megatron, giving Durham some opportunities to score. I'm predicting at least 10 targets.

    Vick to play Sunday

    I don't believe they take a QB in the draft simply for taking a QB. Contrary to what many say, this offense doesn't necessarily need a franchise QB to run it. I honestly believe every team needs to make the necessary moves to go up and get their player. The conversation would be much, much different had they done that with Russell Wilson. Instead they thought they could wait for him. Turned out to be a very big miscalculation on their part. Point being is that their future QBs indentity has yet to reveal itself. The Vikings could give up on Ponder and/or Freeman. And I don't rule out Matt Barkley, whom I feel could be the right guy.

    Vick to play Sunday

    I don't see the Eagle QB of the future coming out of next year's draft. I believe their QB is playing for another team, one that will be out there via FA next year. The reason why I say this? There are teams that will draft in front of them who will be looking for QBs in the draft. A run on QBs should leave talented defenders still on the board. I don't know who that FA QB will be, but I think he'll be there. Additionally, I think they should let Maclin walk and acquire a FA WR to play opposite Jackson. Someone like Hakeem Nicks would be a really good fit.

    TE Jordan Reed

    The only legitimate fear with this guy is injury. He's no Vernon Davis/Jimmy Graham when it comes to physical build, so there's a high chance this guy gets hurt, especially running routes within the hash marks. But the reward far outweights the risk IMO. Especially as RGME continues to raise his passing game.

    Vick to play Sunday

    This Sunday, he's a better option than Matt Barkley is what I'm saying.

    Dallas Cowboys possibly trading for RB

    TE Jordan Reed

    Fleener plays like a bonehead. Inconsistent hands. At some point, a QB is gonna bail on throwing him the ball. However, Wayne's injury may be his only saving grace. Fleener does get open, so maybe the sense of urgency kicks in and helps him focus on what he needs to do; catch the damn ball.

    TE Jordan Reed

    I got in last week. One just has to watch the kid on tape to know that he's the real deal. However, I do believe there may be an injury history with him. He could be ever slightly fragile as a TE. For me, I like to see a player for 4 weeks to measure their consistency. There is absolutely no denying his talent.

    Vick to play Sunday

    Exactly. Even if he doesn't run and sticks in the pocket as a passer, he's the best option they have. The Giants aren't exactly fielding a vaunted defense.

    TE Jordan Reed

    I picked him up, then proceeded to trade Greg Olsen to a needy owner in return for Darren McFadden (he's my bi-week fill in). I'm rolling with Reed and Clay, Clay the starter until Reed can prove to be a consistent scorer.
  12. GhostofMeanMachine99

    Simpson or Jennings---Which one is a better option at this point?

    I have Simpson and just put in a trade offer for Jennings (for Greg Olsen). I believe that Freeman will secure the job and be the guy from here on out. So I'm hedging my bets on who his go-to guy will be by having both of them. I just lost Don Julio so I'm looking to replace a starting WR slot.

    Anyone Trading for Spiller?

    Seeing that I already had Jackson, I traded David Wilson (before the injury) and James Jones for Spiller. My guess is that Jackson will break down by week 10. Spiller should be healed and ready to carry the load from there on in. If you are assured of making your playoff, trade for Spiller.
  14. GhostofMeanMachine99

    Brandon Jacobs....breakout?

    He appears lighter, had a bit of lateral ability on a few of his runs. I grabbed him at halftime and will store him on the bench. He's the only viable option on a crappy team that needs to run the ball in order to set up he pass.
  15. If anyone's stock goes up with Foles at QB, it's Celek and Ertz. With Foles at QB, the read option is obsolete. Teams will play 8 in the box to shut down McCoy. Since Jackson is their only viable WR, he'll get doubled. I mean, Foles played well against the Giants. That's not saying much...

    Freeman... Place your bets

    That is incorrect. He is a first time offender due to a prescription drug that showed up on one of his tests. The NFL has since allowed him to take it, but alas, he is technically a first strike guy.

    Scrubfeld released from Patriots

    I dropped Moreno to pick up this guy.

    Starting FJax over Spiller

    Jackson will wear down or get hurt as the season progresses. IMO, the cream always rises to the top, and I believe Spiller will be a monster from week 10 on. I have both guys and started Jackson last nite.

    Bucs release Josh Freeman

    I'd be happy to see him in Philly, as Vick's backup. Vick will get hurt at some point. Freeman would be a nice fit in the Kelly system. It would also give them the flexibility to trade Foles this year for a pick.<br /><br />So in the offseason, if they are not in the draft hunt for a QB, they have options: Freeman, Barkley, or Vick.

    For C.J. Spiller owners

    Just traded Dave Wilson and James Jones for Spiller. I could afford to trade Jones as my receiving corp is deep. Additionally, I already have Jackson.<br /><br />Jackson starting as my RB2 this evening. Spiller will eventually get there. I am confident.

    Being held accountable...Some of you suck!

    You should be held accountable for believing everything that you read. Glad I can help.

    David Wilson bout to BLOW UP?

    The issue is along the offensive line. Wilson has no room to run, Eli has no time to throw. Nicks can't get early separation, Giants have no viable TE threat. Attitude adjustments aside, it's hard to polish this turd. The defense doesn't help as they allow the opposition to score and put the pressure on the Giants offense. I just traded Wilson and Ja Jones for Spiller. On a better team with more upside. Never thought I would be saying that Buffalo is a better team than the NY Giants.

    I may trade Peyton Manning....

    12 team PPR league where we start 3WR, 2RB and TE. Offer on the table is Manning and James Jones for Brees and Cruz. The other owner is infatuated with Manning, while I am looking to add Cruz with Julio Jones and Jordy Nelson. As is, Jones is my WR3, along with Hopkins and Nicks. It's WR3 by committee. Manning's stock will never be any higher than it is now. I don't see him maintaining this pace. Furthermore, I am also factoring in the Broncos at the end of the regular season. Will they throttle back? I'd be shocked if he goes for it. But, it never hurts to see what you can get.

    I may trade Peyton Manning....

    Brees is the only guy I would consider in a trade involving Manning. To me, there isn't much difference between the two. Except Manning is on an incredible roll right now. Very similar to the one Brees went on late last season.<br /><br />That said, there is a huge difference between Cruz and James Jones. Julio, Cruz and Nelson are #1,3 and 5, respectively, in WR scoring average. Since we start 3WR weekly, that is a HUGE lineup advantage.

    I may trade Peyton Manning....

    He'd be foolish to make a trade like this. But I've never been against people making foolish trades before.
