A guy in my league really wants Michael Turner, and he's offering either Demarius Thomas or Percy Harvin. Which one should I go with?

Harvin!! And do it now!

[Btubes18]

So in need of RB's..I picked up both Green and Starks from the waiver wire. I'm expecting Starks to actually get the start since he can block...but I'm guessing I will make the decision pregame on which to play.

Pick up Vick Ballard...will start for at least 3 weeks...

Ballard is a MUST pick up for the next three weeks in 12+ team leagues...

Harvin!! And do it now!

Haha! I was thinking the same thing. Even though DT has better numbers, he fumbles A LOT those would hurt me a lot in my league.

Thanks bro. It's done.

Hey guys - I'm in need of a reliable runningback to take the reigns from CJ2K. Was offered Ben Jarvis for Antonio Brown. It sounds fair - thoughts? … Other recievers I have are: Brandon Marshall, Kendall Wright, Denarius Moore, Brandon LaFell, Jeremy Kerley

Thanks, would you start him over Green/Starks in GB?

welp, it just went through. I've got Percy Harvin now, and I just picked up Christian Ponder off waivers. Gonna be weird watching the skins game on Sunday.

who would you start this week, CJ Spiller or Vick Ballard?

[hunterx]

Does anyone have any idea if LaMichael James will jump up in the 49ers RB pecking order? I know Gore is doing awesome, Hunter has played well as a backup and they have wobbly knees Jacobs. In my 14 team keeper, I have roster spots to spare if James could see time later this year or next.

I would not go with Ballard against the Jets. Spiller can at least hit a home run against the Raiders.

[GMUSkinsFan]

Got a trade offer:

Matt Ryan, Antonio Brown, BJGE for Ryan Mathews, Marques Colston, and Shonn Green.

I've also got RG3 at QB and would pick up Cutler as my backup.
My starting WRs are Julio Jones, AJ Green, and Torrey Smith at flex.
RBs are Forte and MJD.

Thoughts?

[Fan since a Fetus]

I would not go with Ballard against the Jets.

Why? Jets have allowed the 6th most fantasy points to RBs this year. They are 31st in rush defense and allow 172 yards per game, and 8 tds.

Also, Spiller is playing the Cardinals. They have allowed the 27th most points to fantasy RBs. They are 14th in ypg, have allowed 103 ypg, and 1 td.

but ballard is a unknown commodity. I have him too but i cant suggest starting him over morris, gore, or murray

Guys, I have a situation that I need advice on, I'll try to make it as short as possible. So the Commissioner and one of the guys in our league are really good friends, known each oher for a long time. out of the 10 of us, those two are the closest.

Fast forward to yesterday. The Commissioner is doing REALLY WELL this season, but his friend sucks. The Commissioner's fantasy roster is elite at every position except the QB. The Commissioner offered ANQUAN BOLDIN for RG3...and the dude accepted. That clearly isn't a fair trade (#4 fantasy QB for for a #26 receiver, straight up). I'm thinking they obviously made a deal under the table for un unfair trade so the Commissioner can go all the way, while his friend continues to get blown out.

It's one thing if this were a just for fun, braggin' rights league. But there's money at stake. each of us paid in $150 and what they're doing is bull****. I don't want to be "that guy," but if ever there was a time to hit the veto button on a trade, this is it....right?

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

150 buck buy in for FF? Wow, you guys like to gamble and then some huh?

Veto it if it feels suspicious. When you've so much money riding on it, you gota' do what you gota' do.

$ 1,500/ 1,8000 rising on a league. WOW!. I'm surprised every trade isn't vetoed as guys get real antsy to protect their investments.

Y'all have far more disposable money and far more heart for a gamble than I.

Hail.

[Pick6]

Would you roll the dice and start James Jones in a flex spot this week?
