No, I wouldn't do it. At least with Martin and Spiller you have two starting RB's and Lloyd did well Sunday despite not having a TD. Spiller will have a breakout season with Jackson out.

That's what I'm worried about. I was high on Spiller on hopes of Jackson getting hurt, so its tough for me to move him now.

I don't think it would be a bad move. Might actually not be bad to have Tate around in the even Foster misses any time. Gonzalez probably still the starter at TE but Davis would be a good backup. Overall though, the guys you'd be giving up are probably worth more points than the guys you'd be getting.

Definitely would be huge to get Foster, but I'm worried I'm giving up too many good guys to get him.

QB: Ryan, RG3
RB: McCoy, Martin, Spiller, Morris, Ingram
WR: Jennings, Colston, Lloyd, Cobb, SMoss, Streater
TE: Gonzalez

Its a PPR and we have 2 W/R/T flex spots

Honestly, even w/ Gonzalez I'd still do the trade because McCoy and Foster, and his handcuff, gives you the best starting RB group in your league. I'd pick up Royster if he's still available to handcuff Morris, and drop Ingram.

Is it 2 RBs, 2 WRs, and 2 flex spots starting? If so, then Ryan, McCoy, Foster, Jennings, Colston, Gonzalez will win you most match ups regardless of the flex spots. Morris is the hot hand right now, Davis gives you a decent flex option. I like Cobb. SMoss is hard to predict, and I'd look into picking up Stephen Hill, Andre Roberts, or Antrell Hawkins at WR. Streeter is ok, but once Moore and Ford are back then he becomes irrelevant. Eddie Royal may also be worth a look, but your flex spots won't need to be great, just adequate, with the starting line up you'd have.

I wouldn't have a problem giving up a temporary starting RB, a rookie RB in Tampa, and an unknown at WR in a heavy 2 TE system, for the #1 RB, his handcuff, and top 10 TE for a flex spot.

We start 2 RBs, 3 WRs, and 2 Flex spots.

Now he's willing to give me Malcom Floyd or Fred Davis.

Only thing I worry about is that my WR depth becomes super thin if someone goes down and Jennings is already hurt.

[skinsfan_1215]

Ok I got Alfred Morris off waivers. Cancelled the trade offer I had out.

Possible FA pick up I'm considering right now:

Randall Cobb (dropped him last week for Mendenhall)

Bench right now includes:

Titus Young
Peyton Hillis (only have 2 healthy RBs if I drop him)


Thoughts on Cobb for Young? I literally just took Stephen Hill and dropped Luck.

[MattFancy]

Drop Luck and pick up Cobb

[skinsfan_1215]

Drop Luck and pick up Cobb

Haha I did as I was typing it (only I took Hill). Edited now. Cobb for Young?

[KDawg]

I now have a major conundrum;

Here are my backs:

Marshawn Lynch
Maurice Jones Drew
Alfred Morris
Steven Ridley

I can start two.

Here are my wideouts:

Reggie Wayne
Dez Bryant
Pierre Garcon
Brandon Marshall.

I can start two.

Whoever is left after those four guys are picked, I have a flex spot that's open this week.

Right now, it's difficult to sit Morris or Ridley as RB. Both had incredible games and both play suspect defenses.

Receiver I'm tempted to go with Marshall/Garcon... But I know that if I do that, Bryant will go off. And Wayne had a quietly outstanding week last week.

At FLEX I'm debating between Bryant/MJD/Lynch mostly, but I have no idea what to do here.

Help a brother out!

[MattFancy]

Lynch
MJD

Marshall
Garcon

Why Lynch/MJD over Ridley/Morris?

With Jacksonville playing Houston and Seattle playing Dallas... I think Morris and Ridley actually have much better match ups.

I would take Floyd over Davis since Floyd will give you more options at WR. You'll have to pick up some better depth at WR still, but even with Lloyd I wouldn't feel all that comfortable. See if you can swing both Floyd and Davis by giving him Ingram as well since he's obviously looking for multiple players.

Just because you never know what Morris and Ridley will do. Lynch and MJD are the bell cows for their teams. Sounds like Jennings will be out for JAX this week so MJD should see the bulk of the carries there.

Why Lynch/MJD over Ridley/Morris?

I'd go Ridley and Morris since they have better match-ups. I'd go Marshall at WR since Bears/GB could be a shootout, I'd go Garcon since he's the guy here, and I'd take Bryant as the flex over both RBs and Wayne.

[Pick6]

Who would you start for 2 RB and one flex? Non-ppr

CJ2K
Beast Mode
Sproles
Greene
Morris

[jaybrant]

What do you guys think about my choice for starters this week? Non PPR

RB: D. Murray (@Sea), Spiller (KC)
FLEX: A. Morris (@StL)... Fighting with myself over whether to go Morris or Richardson here.

Bench:

Trent Richardson (@Cin), Mike Wallace (NYJ), Donald Brown (Min), Darrius Heyward-Bey (@Mia)

[RVAbrendan]

Honestly, I'd start Heyward-Bey.

Morris is high risk, high reward. With Shanny, you never know who may get the rock.

Trent plays for the Browns. You'd think he'd be all of their offense, but they need help. Risky.

Mike Wallace will have Revis on him.

Brown is a close second...Cincy does have a nice D, though...

Bey had some pretty nifty catches last week and I'm sure Oak will come out swinging to make up for their gaf last week. Plus, it's against Miami...
