I'm still having problems, too. Wow. Talk about bad timing.

Ok, the topic pretty much says it all. I need to choose two from the following: Doug Martin vs. Carolina Shane Vereen @ Miami Chris Johnson vs. Oakland This is in a PPR league, where all TDs are six points. Alternatively, I have Keenan Allen (@ Arizona) penciled in at my flex position. I could bench him and go with all three of the running backs listed above. If I want to keep him in that spot though, I'll need to decide which two running backs I'll start from that list. Advice is appreciated. Will answer in return.

Anyone? WHIR....

I'm running into this problem on IE, too.... I can reply, it just doesn't show the post I've quoted.

Nice list. I think going WR/WR will still yield some options at RB later on. I really like Hyde this year, as others have said, and wouldn't be surprised to see Grimes see some substantial carries this season.

I can't decide if this is worth dropping someone for or not. Wright has good size and potential, but his athleticism is nowhere near Hernandez. On a side note, how are you still getting text alerts from ESPN? I thought they discontinued that.

I've decided to finally try my hand at starting a dynasty league, but I'm not really sure how to begin. As much as I enjoy my keeper and redraft leagues, dynasty seems like it would be a bit more challenging, but I have to learn quite a bio before I jump in. Are there any tips/strategies people can provide for someone looking to start a dynasty league for the first time? Just so I'm clear, I'm not looking for advice pertaining to the league I'd like to start. I'm more interested in what the best practices are for anyone looking to take the plunge into dynasty, and/or any rules of thumb for someone looking to create a new league from scratch. Thanks.

Ok, fair enough. Although I think the timeframe alone will probably take some adjusting to, since I've never participated in a draft that extensive before. What else would you advise?

That's great advice. I appreciate it. Any thoughts on the startup draft?

If you think he'd go for it, absolutely. I'd be surprised if that happened, though.

I was offered an Antonio for Antonio trade...I give up Gates, get Brown in return. PPR league. I already have Julius Thomas and Owen Daniels. Kind of weak at WR. Worth doing?

I'd do it. You're getting the best player and not losing in an area since you have cameron.

Probably going to drop Roy Helu for Brandon Bolden.

My team has been decimated by injuries this year. I really don't have much hope of turning things around, but I feel if I have any chance, I'll need to make a trade. There are a couple of owners in my league who are thin at QB and one who's thin at QB and WR. I've been thinking about trying to package Maclin and Romo. Yeah, I know they're both dinged up (Romo more than Maclin), but I still think Maclin's going to put up good numbers, and he's definitely a go for this weekend. I need a decent RB since Jamaal Charles went down. What kind a player could I expect for Maclin and Romo in a PPR league?

I was thinking Bradshaw. Anyone else?

I agree with this. Thomas may not play now, so this seems like your best bet. Rice may have finally gotten it together after a slow start. And they're going to have to throw a lot to keep up with Atlanta. Please answer mine. Thanks.

This week, definitely. Matthews has a sore foot and even though it's looking like he'll play right now, he might be more limited than he's been the last couple of weeks. Miami's defense isn't anything special, so I think Tolbert could have a good week. Please take a look at mine if you get a chance.

Tolbert and Maclin. San Fran's awful against the pass. Please answer mine. Thanks.

RBs: Rice and Turner WRs: Nicks and Moore. Flex: Starks. Please answer mine. Thanks.

I lost Charles, too. Not fun. Go with Graham. He catches enough out of the backfield that he should be able to cobble together a few points for you. Please answer mine. Thanks.

Yeah, I hear you. Actually, I already have Matthews and, sadly, I also have Gore. I was thinking someone like Bradshaw might be a possibility. His owner had Peyton and then picked up Cam Newton. He's also got Austin and Colston nursing injuries, so he can use the help at QB and WR.

I wouldn't do it. Your team is in good shape and there's no need to mess with a team that solid. I have Hernandez and he's been great when healthy, but you don't need him when you have the options you do at the position. Plus, I don't know when or how effective he'll be when he comes back. Brady and Gronkowski haven't missed a beat in his absence, and it can be tough predicting which Patriots are going to have a good game anyway. I feel like Jackson still gets underrated, too. Buffalo's offense isn't messing around this year. I'd stick with him. Please answer mine if you get a chance. Thanks.

Any updates on this?

Full practice, but questionable. Weird. I need him to play since Hernandez is out. Never mind the fact that I've already had to deal with injuries to Jamaal Charles, Beanie Wells, and Romo.

Yeah, it's his wide receivers that worry me more than his ribs. I think I'm starting Fitzpatrick over him. Not happy about it, but I think I almost have to.
