I am screwed this week. :L

[romeo212000]

My team

QB: Luck, Newton
RB: Lynch (Bye), P. Thomas, T. West (Bye), J. Hill (Bye), D. Freeman
WR: J. Jones, R. Wayne, V. Cruz, T. Smith, K. Benjamin,
TE: Kelce (hopefully)
D/P: Wagner (bye)
Defense: Colts or chargers

I'm screwed at RB, and hesitant to drop Wagner to pick up another DP as he's been a solid 7-8 point producer.

If you haven't already done so, you might consider the strength of your opponent's lineup this week. Might help you decide whether it's worth dropping Wagner.

Here's her team. She'll need to grab a QB off waivers since she doesn't have one, but Cousins is just sitting there so she'll be fine.

QB: Manning (Bye), probably pick up Cousins.
RB: F. Gore, L. Miller, D. Martin, F. Jackson, C. Hyde
WR: J. Nelson, C. Patterson, James Jones, D. Jackson, S. Smith Sr.
TE: G. Olsen, J Cook (Bye)
DP: Watt
Defense: Pats

I need to see who she drops to pick up Cousins. Maybe somebody I can add. I doubt I could tempt her with a trade for Newton.

If you drop one of those D's, you think they would be picked up before the following week when you can get them back?

I have the colts right now who play Tennessee this week. I'm thinking of dropping them for the chargers who play Jacksonville this week. Not sure which way to go.

Looks to me like the addition of Cousins gives her a pretty competitive lineup. Not clear to me that either of you have a definite advantage.

I would probably drop Wagner, since there are usually quite a few good DP options available each week.

Darren McFadden against Miami might be a good option at RB if he is available in your league. Same for Shonn Greene at Indy or Blount v. TB.

None of those guys are available.

None of those guys are available.

Donald Brown?

Donald Brown?

Nope. People are really hoarding RB's in this league.

Sorry, that's all I've got. Maybe your thread title is descriptively accurate.

 

[Jim Rome is Flaming]

Not as screwed as I am. My top 3 WRs (DT, AJ Green, Brian Quick) are all on bye. My top 3 RBs (Bernard, Ball, Ellington) are all on bye. I'm going to be running out Pierre Thomas, Fred Jackson, Ridley, Kerley, and god knows who at WR2.

 

[romeo212000]

I might have a WR for RB trade in the works.

 

[TREFF]

If none of those RB's are available, you're better off going with Freeman because anyone you drop is going to be more valuable than anyone you pick up. Keep trying that trade route.

I would surely go with Chargers vs JAX.

As for the IDP, I obviously don't know your scoring system, but I have to believe that with only 1 IDP per team being started in your league, that there at least a handful of guys who can match Wagner. After the elite of the elite are gone, there's about 30 guys who are virtually the same production wise

Any tips on guys to look for in that second tier?

 

[Hambombs]

Try to trade for Donald brown?

 

[Hambombs]

Maybe try trading Torrey smith or Cruz for a solid back?

LB'S
Jenkins
Levy
Carter
D. Davis
P. Worrilow
All are averaging close to or over 10th a week in my idp league, all have less than 50% ownership in yahoo

DB'S
Fuller
Branch
J. Joseph
Amukamura
Again just like what I said about the LB's, about 10 a week, less than 50%

 

[wilwhite]

Looks like the wise first move would be to pick up Cousins, if you have waiver priority.

Why would I pick up Cousins?

 

[Barilko]

drop Newton for Cousins and let her start Cam
