Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Lamar Miller @New Orleans or Bilal Powell vs. Titans?

Being that Miller was spotted wearing a Shoulder harness after the game on Sunday I would go with Powell. At least until more information comes out on Millers shoulder.

Thanks, I missed that. I wondered why his carries were low. I'll ride the hot hand with Powell getting all the reps in New York.
 
My bench whipped my starters. 2 straight weeks of getting half of about a 120 point projection. Kaepernick... can't win with 4 points out of your Qb every week.
 
Better QB and Flex Option?? standard scoring btw

Phillip River Vs. Dallas
or
Tony Romo Vs. Chargers

And

Julian Edelman vs. Falcons
Darren Sproles Vs. Dolphins
Joique Bell Vs. Bears ( Would be obvious start if I already wasn't starting Bush)
Or Drop Edelman for Josh Gordon and start him
 
How is Josh Gordon still available? Get him. Even if the Browns trade him, he goes to a better QB.

Btw Lamar Miller was out of the Shoulder harness today and practiced fully and is now listed as probable.
 
Here's my team:

QB Michael Vick
RB Matt Forte
RB Darren McFadden
WR AJ Green
WR Dwayne Bowe
TE Owen Daniels
FLEX DeMarco Murray
D/ST Titans
K Ryan Succop

BENCH Maurice Jones-Drew
BENCH Cecil Shorts
BENCH Ben Tate
BENCH Charles Clay
BENCH Fred Jackson
BENCH Andre Roberts
BENCH Matt Schaub

PPR League, 12 teams. Proposed deal by me and the other guy is willing to accept:

Fred Jackson & Dwayne Bowe FOR Roddy White & Le'Veon Bell

I like the trade for me because I don't think Bowe is ever gonna do shit with Smith at QB. Fred Jackson is somewhat expendable with my crop of RBs AND I think Bell will become a solid option at RB as he gains health. I'm basically banking on Roddy to get healthy and return to last year's numbers.

What do you think?

What is your record? If you are 3-0 its a better deal because you can afford two bad weeks.

I've been burned waiting for players to get healthy in the past. Two weeks can turn into 4 or 5, just to keep the fan base from freaking out.

2-1. But Bowe has given me just about nothing and Fred hasn't been in my starting lineup yet this season.

That's why I'm thinking about taking the risk
 
Here's why you may have additional concern...

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger says he 'can't get a read on' RB Le'Veon Bell

It's excessively boring how players talk about their teammates to the media. It's nothing but clichés about how said teammate does all the right things, is a hard worker, looks great in practice, etc. It's an understood part of the relationship between athletes and the media. Well, let's give it up to Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for not offering up the same platitudes. When asked what he expects from rookie running back Le'Veon Bell in his NFL debut this Sunday, Roethlisberger didn't spout off answers he didn't have.
"Honestly, I have no idea with him," Roethlisberger said of Bell in a Tuesday radio interview. "You can't get a read on him. One day, he's practicing, one day, he's not; one day, he's going hard, the next day, he's not. I wish I could.
"If he was a guy like Heath Miller that you knew was busting his butt every day to get back there ... Le'Veon is a rookie, I don't know him quite well enough yet. But if he can come back and help us, we'll take him."

Fantasy Analysis:
That Heath Miller reference sounds like a thinly veiled shot at Bell's work ethic. Bell will play this weekend against the Vikings in London. Whether he starts and how much he plays will be decided by how he practices. He is coming back from a sprained foot and should be the Steelers' lead running back before long. He has RB2 upside, but it sounds like he needs to do a little trust-building with Big Ben first.

Man I hate my fantasy team. Just look at my RBs and WRs:

Foster
Ridley
McFadden
Moreno

AJ Green
Mike Wallace
J Gordon
J Jones
Streater

So many fantasy busts, so much inconsistency...my defense and kicker are more consistent than that garbage, although if I knew who to play each week I'd be 3-0 instead of 1-1-1. It is amazingly frustrating needing five points from your #1 round draft pick to win the week and he gets four...

Starting Foster, McFadden, Green, Gordon, and Wallace this week...though I think I will move Streater into the starting lineup going up against the Redskins this week.

Other question would be Vick vs. Stafford, of course last week I finally decided to start Vick since he killed it weeks 1-2, and Stafford blew up in wk3...but Vick is going up against Denver and Stafford vs. Chicago so I think I should go with Vick.

Also was just looking at the available players and I decided to pick up another kicker but decided to drop Vareen (injured till week 11) instead of my other kicker so now I have two kickers lol.

Guy in my league is selling low on Trent. He wants Gronk in return, I also have Cameron. Do I do it? I'm tempted.

Does your league have a flex spot? If so, I'd be inclined to just start both Gronk and Cameron. I'm going to be doing that soon in the league where I have both Gronk and Julius Thomas. I'd cite Gronk's health as an issue, but that's obviously an issue with Richardson too. I'm also not convinced that giving up one of the few tight ends in the league who can actually put up points consistently is selling low for Richardson.

It also kind of depends on the quality of your current backs. Do you have two quality starters already?

Yes to the flex.
