Fantasy Football 2009: Start 'Em, Sit 'Em, Trade 'Em

[Plow]

Don't worry, I'm telling myself the same about Turner.

Well, at least he's *almost* caught up with Sproles...

jennings!

Here's a big dilemma for me. It's my most important league, so I appreciate any advice.

Sitting at 6-1, highest in points, great roster:

League is PPR.

1 QB- Schaub, Palmer, Garrard
2 RB- Adrian, Ray Rice, K. Smith, Chester Taylor
2 WR- Andre Johnson, Roddy White, Sims-Walker, Cotchery
1 TE- Dallas Clark, Olsen
1 W/T
1 K- Crosby
1 DEF- New Orleans

NO is currently the #2 defense, person offering me a trade has a handful of byes and wants to make a move. I have the following offers, all on the table for Garrard:

1) Ahmad Bradshaw
2) Percy Harvin
3) Philly DEF
4) GB Def
5) possibly Willis McGahee


Philly D is #1 atm, and GB D is #3. GB D has a better schedule, but I really trust NO given their knack for the endzone (thank you Sharper). Bradshaw is interesting because if Jacobs goes down, I fully believe he's a top-10 RB if he can stay healthy. Percy has been amazingly productive (points per return yards too).

My problem is that I love Schaub, but I don't know how long he'll stay healthy given his history. Plus, Palmer has yet to fully gain my trust, and will only do so when he breaks 300 yards passing. If Schaub goes down, I have Palmer. Which trade should I do, or should I tuck Garrard? The bottom tier starting QBs are FAs.

I would go for Bradshaw. NO defense has a great schedule the rest of the season and you should just roll with them for the rest of the season. Carolina followed by St. Louis followed by Tampa? Yes, please, can I have another!

8 ATL
9 CAR
10 @STL
11 @TB
12 NE
13 @WAS
14 @ATL
15 DAL
16 TB
17 @CAR

pierre thomas or rick willy? i really feel like the jets are gonna clamp down on the dolphins this week

[Weltall]

Greg Jennings for sure....Reggie Bush is horrible despite his trick play run. You take that away and the guy has like 1 fantasy point last week? I dunno, just off the top of my head numbers there.

[Weltall]

Up for trade in 20 man:

Sidney Rice, Jeremy Maclin, TO

Need:
QB/Kicker/Defense/maybeeee a WR

[Tyche]

Philly D vs NYG or Lion D vs St. Louis
J. Maclin or E. Royal?

Royal had a hell of a game last week, but I don't think he caught a single pass...McNabb threw the ball to Maclin about 8 times last week, caught 5.

I picked up Shonn Greene off waivers in one of my leagues.. someone is offering Calvin Johnson for him. Should I take it? My WRs are: Welker, Braylon, Nicks, and Crabtree.. My RBs are R. Brown, Grant, LT, D. Brown and Coffee.

Considering I start Brown/Grant and sometimes LT in the flex.. it doesn't look bad. Johnson's injury worries me though.

[Weltall]

Calvin is absolutely worth more, but it depends on the risk you are taking on with his injury. If you can afford to do it at RB, then go for it ASAP.

[Gadritan]

I seriously can't believe you guys let this bullshit trade go through...

Git Awf Me:
Mark Sanchez
LaDainian Tomlinson
Jason Campbell

Mmmmhmm Tigers:
Drew Brees
Correll Buckhalter

Maybe it's all the cold medicine, but that doesn't look the slightest bit fair. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Guy on the bottom is someone I know IRL and he needed the help badly at RB. If you saw his RBs before today, you'd go 'wat' but yeah. He's 2-5 and out of it, but at least that'll give him some consistency.

[Headspace]

Grabbed DETs defense for Cincy's bye week

[Akiyama]

Dunno if I'm gonna get a defense. I was going to get Detroit, but ya snagged it with your waiver.. may just stick with a Bye, lol.

[awesomecontent]

nice!

He's giving up Buckhalter for LT and you're talking about consistency...?

He should be getting a stud RB for Brees, not some over the hill RB that's averaging 3.5yrds/carry when he's not on the sidelines.

Yeah, that's true I s'pose. Though Buckhalter was hurt for a bit, and now he's back. Eh. We'll see. We could cockblock the trade. Has it gone through 100% already?

[Gadritan]

Idk. I voted against it. I'm all whacked up on cold medicine atm, so I'm not entirely sure.

He could get a serious stud for Brees instead of a mediocre one. People are hurting for QBs just as bad as RBs in this league. 20man is crazy, lol.

[Headspace]

I'm pretty set.

[sekaran]

I vetoed that trade too.. Didn't seem fair at all.
