I'm 5-4 in fourth place. I suck

UPINTHEMGUTS · « **Reply #1 on:** November 08, 2008, 04:59:54 PM »

6-3 and tied for first in my division. My team is awesome at running back with Peterson, Chris Johnson, and Bush. Wish I could start all three! Have Fitzgerald, S. Moss, and Houzmazadah at WR. Qb position is weak with Big Ben and Pennington.

4-5 and in third place in my other league. I drafted Tom Brady so go figure....

My rb's are killing me. Larry Johnson assaults a new woman each week and is suspended and Addai has been hurt.

I have those three RBs as well and I can start 3, we use a flex position. But am I missing something? I thought Bush was going to be out for a while. I am 6-3 in a league and 5-4 in another.

6-3 in 2nd, but am the high scorer. I just catch everyone on their best week.

Like again, this week, guy I'm against had Cutler and Winslow on Thursday. Nice to be down 56-0 to start Sunday.

I've been offered a trade. Someone in my league offered Brett Favre for Reggie Bush. I'm tempted to take the trade because my QB's are weak. I have Rothlesberger, Pennington, and Cassel as my Qb's.

My starters are A. Peterson and Chris Johnson and I can only start two each week. My backups are Bush, M. Morris, and Fred Taylor.

It's nice to have depth at running back but I'd like to upgrade at QB.
Bush's punt returns don't count when I start him at running back so that's frustrating.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Farve upgrades your team - you get a better QB for a backup RB who is hurt. Why does anyone want Bush right now?

Can you pick up McAllister off waivers? I had Reggie as well and picked him up.

UPINTHEMGUTS · « **Reply #7 on:** November 09, 2008, 09:58:12 AM »

So do you think that's a good straight up trade? Or should I ask for a #4 receiver AND Favre in return?

I'm just trying to get fair value for Bush.

No, I think it's more than fair straight up.

Also, why didn't I start Green-Ellis today? Thomas Jones went bananas for me, which negated Cutler's awesome day. But Aaron Rodgers has turned out to be a big pile of poop with a whopping four points so far.

tonymctones · « **Reply #9 on:** November 10, 2008, 01:19:13 PM »

First baby at 7-3 after this week...peterson and johnson and jones-drew as RB, S. moss, R. wayne and Lee Evans as WR, Romo was my qb but i got Rivers in now playoffs are pretty much locked up for me after this week.

Dude i dont think thats anywhere near fair man i would definitly ask for another player...I dont know how your league scores but reggie is killing in my league even with him out the last what 2 weeks? he is still one of the highest point total RB in my league. Farve is prone to turn overs and I personally think that you can always pick up a mediocre QB everyweek that plays a shitty team Warner if he is available is decent, garrard, delhomme. If im not mistaken bush comes back either next week or the week after and I wouldnt mind trading him if I where you but Id ask for more.

Got fucking cute and started Rodgers instead of McNabb. Lost by 20 points. McNabb outscored Rodgers by 21.

ehh probably would have done the same thing, rogers against Minnesota was imho your best bet...the giants D is pretty good even though its mcnabb.

Thanks. I keep telling myself that. Still pissed though. I'm high scorer in the league, but also lead in points against. I catch everyone on their best week.

LOL we have a guy like that in my league hes like 2nd in points but is in 5th place b/c everyone always has a great week when they play him. I kept saying that sooner or later he will start winning but it just doesnt end up happening.

I hear you man but Bush's punt returns don't give me points in my league. He's scored three TD's on punt returns and I didn't get any points from them. I hate that shit! I'm set with C.Johnson and AP at RB and I need to get a QB and Favre is the only one been thrown my way.

I upped my trade. I packaged M. Morris with Bush in exchange for Favre and Justin Fargas. Does this even things out a little?

Do you seriously think for a second that Kurt Warner is a free agent in anyone's league?? he's like the top rated QB in fantasy this year. Or close to it.

I understand that heres another strategy that my friend uses, he will pick up key players facing teams they would probably do good against just so the team he is playing cant pick them up...the fact that your league doesnt use his return yards or td's brings him down a tad but still what about your recievers? I dont see the point in trading for another running back and trading down just my opinion.

Dos Equis · « **Reply #18 on:** November 11, 2008, 02:15:38 PM »

9-1, first place, total points leader. Can clinch playoff birth with a win next week.

my receivers are good. Got Larry Fitzgerald, Santana Moss, and TJ Hous.

My Qb's are Pennington, Rothlesberger, and Cassel. If I don't do anything Bush just sits on my bench because im not starting him over C. Johnson. i guess that's the luxury of having three legit #1 Rb's but I cant start all three.

Part of me wants to stand pat and do nothing but I'm getting nothing out of QB.

Iono man bush is one the highest scoring RB in my league you should look at yours if you can...just seems bad to trade a top teir rb for a 2nd or 3rd teir qb imho. Farve is the 10th ranked qb in my league and bush is the 9th ranked rb even though he has been out for what a month. Just seems like he is worth more than brett farve in my opinion what about upgrading housh?

You know, I thought about trading Bush in order to upgrade Housh but I'm not ready to give up on him just yet. I think he could really explode in the next 2-3 weeks just in time for playoff time. Him and Ryan Fitzpatrick could start to get in better rhythm.

Plus I got Fargas and Favre in the trade and Fargas starts for Oakland with Mcfadden out.

Should I go with Benjarvus Green-Ellis or McAllister this week as my 2nd RB?

ellis will probably get more touches but the jets have a decent run defense...Mcallister is going against Kansas who has a horrible run defense but unless the saints decide to run more which i gotta believe they will do he only got 5 touches last week and only ran the ball 17 times in all...I think i would go with ellis all in all he will more than likely get more touches and maybe break for a td.
