sbas2k 0 Posted September 29, 2009 I am desperate at running back, I only have AP and Jamal Lewis. The question is getting Rivers and Slaton, is that an upgrade giving up Brees? I will help with your posts, thanks. My lineup now: Brees AP Jamal Lewis or a scrub Wayne Housh Gonzo New lineup: Rivers AP Slaton Wayne Housh Cooley or Heap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texansfan 0 Posted September 29, 2009 DO NOT GIVE UP BREES! He's trying to sucker you after Brees having 1 down game. Pickup Glen Coffee off waviers and start him at RB if you are desperate. See mine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josh wiley 27 Posted September 29, 2009 i say go for it. don't really see much of a difference in the fantasy production from rivers to brees. slaton has much more upside this year over jamal lewis, even though he has had a slow start. i am a big gonzalez fan, but you will get good production out of cooley week in and week out.

Captain Allen 0 Posted September 29, 2009 I like the idea of getting slaton, I think he'll rebound from his slow start. But, I don't like it if giving up Brees is the only way. I'd try to hold on to Brees, he'll end up the #1 or #2 fantasy qb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaidersFan18 0 Posted September 29, 2009 DO NOT GIVE UP BREES! He's trying to sucker you after Brees having 1 down game. Pickup Glen Coffee off waviers and start him at RB if you are desperate. See mine! I would do this as well, if possible. Although I imagine Coffee will be a hot commodity on waivers. If your league is 6 pts for RB touchdowns and 4 for passing TDs, I think I would probably do it. So far, there is a 10 point differential in Brees as compared to Rivers. Theres a five point differential between Slaton and Lewis, and Slaton played 2 of the best run defenses in the league the first two weeks of the season.

bear down 77 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Giving up Brees sucks, but Id do it. Rivers isnt chopped liver. He is good. I also like Slaton and Cooley. DO IT. Mine: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=352029 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigMilk 40 Posted September 29, 2009 Do it. Slaton is a huge upgrade for you and while Brees will be the #1 QB this year, Rivers will not be that far behind. And even if he wasn't: you need the RB help. Unless this is a league where scoring is geared towards QBs, I'd do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
