I pulled Ellington from my lineup for Bernard Pierce... I'm now 100% sure Ellington will outscore that loser.

Was down 14 in my big money league and had Stafford who just went absolute Buster from Arrested Development tonight. Ended up wining by like 16.
I went early on QB this year (took Stafford 5th rd, usually go around 7-8) so hopefully this pays off. He won't go this crazy every week but he just has so many weapons.
This will become more and more of a trend as the pass happy offenses continue to take over. Likewise, in my mind number 1 WRs are worth just as much as a number 1 RB is. Calvin Johnson should have been a top 3 pick this season and very well could be the first pick next season in a lot of leagues.
I think the real issue isn't that WRs are worth less, but rather than the RB position is just not as deep. There are more great receivers than great backs, which puts great RBs at a premium in the early rounds.
I agree.
I mean with a WR, one play and they can outscore a RB that has a great day. For example, Forte got me ~16pts for getting 80yds receiving and rushing. Played hard all game just couldn't find the endzone. I am happy with 16pts out of my 1st pick. Calvin Johnson had ~13pts on one play b/c their secondary made a mistake. It is just the consistency of the RB and the inconsistency of the WR position that makes it hard to take WR/WR/WR (starting off your draft with 3 great WR's)
Hey guys. My team is stacked at running back and I need a big time receiver. I put a claim in for Josh Gordon. The backs I have are mccoy forte stacy lacy bell Murray and my tight end is gronk. Here's the trade
Matt forte and Vernon Davis for dez Bryant.
I am trying to pick up Forsett in my one league, but its still not 100% who's going to be playing the most, and it is most likely going to be a share/who's hot at the moment.
I think West is going to get a good look with Tate's problems and his good rushing game last week.
It's tough. If Forsett can come out and do good again on Thursday, he could be the almost every down back.
You are THAT down on Thomas/Jackson? I feel like they will have very capable back-up RB numbers, maybe even a bit more for Jackson.
With already having McCoy and a set of pretty nice WR's, I would maybe try and package a WR/RB for a RB to replace Toby. Gordon will be back, so will Welker (concussion prone.....1 more he may have to sit)
I don't think the route you should be going is waiver wire, I would go trade route @Jack Brickman
