I get return yards (50 yds per point) and a full point for receptions. I figure that the Indy game should be a blowout and Brown should get his fair share of carries, and maybe a goal line vulture TD. Felix Jones has been practicing all week and appears healthy. I'm leaning towards Brown, thoughts?

I was offered Pierre Thomas and Brett Favre for Ray Rice. I'm in a PPR League but with the recent coaching decisions by Payton I am thinking against making that move.

QB: Matt Schaub WR: Anquan Boldin, Derrick Mason, Reggie Wayne, Michael Crabtree RB: Maurice Jones-Drew, Ryan Grant, Ray Rice, Donald Brown, Felix Jones TE: Brent Celek, Greg Olsen K: Whoever has the best matchups IDP: David Harris, DJ Williams, D'Qwell Jackson, Thomas Davis

Steve Slaton was picked right before me in the 2nd round, so I took Reggie Wayne

1. (4) Maurice Jones-Drew RB 2. (21) Reggie Wayne WR 3. (28) Anquan Boldin WR 4. (45) Ryan Grant RB 5. (52) Darren McFadden RB 6. (69) Greg Olsen TE 7. (76) Derrick Mason WR 8. (93) Matt Schaub QB 9. (100) Ray Rice RB 10. (117) D'Qwell Jackson LB 11. (124) Donald Brown RB 12. (141) Kevin Walter WR 13. (148) David Garrard QB NOW Brent Celek 14. (165) Lawrence Timmons LB Picked up DJ Williams prior to season starting 15. (172) Adalius Thomas LB picked up David Harris prior to season starting 16. (189) Shayne Graham K week by week basis 5-0 Record

I'm trying to decide on the course of action to follow with Darren McFadden. As much as I want to keep him on my roster in hopes that something will change in the future, I also have to be realistic at the expectations moving forward. In my league, the Waiver Wire has a couple injured players due to come back in a couple weeks (Anthony Gonzalez, Felix Jones) and also a couple under-performing players such as Chris Wells and Donnie Avery. My question is, should I drop McFadden for one of the aforementioned players, and if so, who represents the best prospective player in the future? FWIW, League settings: 10 yds per point rushing, 15 yds per point receiving. 1 Point per reception, 50 yds per point Return Yds

Looks like the general consensus is Felix Jones. Thanks!

Jacksonville could be an interesting, yet dark horse, choice. Hasselbeck is just coming off an injury and could be forced to get into a shootout. I also like New England's defense too, seeing as how two of the bronco's wins have come off of fluke plays of 50+ yards in the final two minutes.

QB: Manning, Schaub, Rodgers, Rivers, McNabb WR: Wayne, R. Moss, Marshall, DJax, Megatron RB: MJD, ADP, Gore, Moreno, Cadillac TE: Celek, Gates, Keller, Finley, Sean Ryan

Absolutely you pull the trigger on a trade like this. Even if Royal wasn't included in this deal I think it's a steal for you. Barber is a first two round player regardless of format. With Romo struggling he is going to continue to be relied upon to produce.

I have MJD already locked as my RB1, but I need to play one more and have been going back and forth with Rice and McFadden. Any help is appreciated PPR league (1pt per reception, 10 yds rushing, 15 yds receiving per pt.)

I have Fred Jackson in three of my four leagues and was contemplating throwing his name out there on the market. With two absolutely dominant efforts the first two games his trade value will never be higher. My question is...what player(s) would be a sufficient exchange for him? Lynch comes back after week 3, but he could very easily go into a Reggie Bush mode of being a scat-back or "lightning" change of pace to Jackson. The way Jackson is playing currently, it doesn't seem logical that they'd significantly cut into his touches. A couple names that I've been toying with in my mind are: Slaton, LT, or Jacobs seeing as how all three have started rather slow and an impatient owner might dump them. Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments regarding trades you've seen involving Fred?

huh...I waited and got elite talent at my other positions and I got Matt Schaub in the 8th round in a 12 teamer. Got Garrard all the way in the 13th. I'm 2-0. The guy with Brees (and gore fwiw) is 1-1. I waited last year and got McNabb and Cutler in the 7th and 8th rounds and the two of them were damn near elite options. I was in the title game. Screw taking a QB over the likes of Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson, or Randy Moss. The "drop-off" for the "elite" QB's and the sleeper QB's that emerge every year isn't as much as it's talked up. The drop off between those WR's and Santana Moss however...

Unless Reggie Wayne pulls a Jennings I'll win and be 2-0. Put Boldin in at the last second over Derrick Mason (PPR) and kept Schaub in instead of Garrard.

I'm deeply considering starting him over Ryan Grant in a PPR league...thoughts??

Pfft, Your team has nothing on my 12 team league (PPR and 3 IDP) QB: Shaub, Garrard RB: MJD, Grant, Rice, McFadden, Donald Brown WR: Wayne, Boldin, Walter, Mason, Bennet TE: Olsen K: Carney IDP: D'Qwell Jackson, DJ Williams, David Harris

12 Team PPR league, IDP as well. Drafted from the #4 Spot Start QB, RB,RB,WR,WR,TE, D,D,D, K (I'll pick one up just prior to week one) QB: Schaub, Garrard RB: MJD, Grant, Rice, McFadden, Donald Brown, Buckhalter WR: Wayne, Boldin, Mason, Walter, Earl Bennett TE: Olsen IDP: D'Qwell Jackson, DJ Williams, David Harris
