Here's a doozy for you. I have to start two of these - believe it or not, I don't have better options. Non-ppr league, at least one of the two has to be a WR (though one obviously will):
Percy Harvin, Jeremy Maclin, Chris Brown (backup on the Texans ... yup), Glen Coffee (backing up Gore).
I'm leaning toward the first two, BUT - receivers only get a point for every 20 yards. Running backs get it for every 10.

Again, Bradshaw or Jacobs? This wouldn't even be a question next week, but I have Ray Rice on bye this week [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] I started Jacobs last week and it cost me a win, I think I am going to go Bradshaw because AZ gives up receptions to RB's. Want some opinions.

Additionally, would you trade Jacobs straight up for Calvin Johnson right now? My other WR's are Walter, Steve Smith (NYG), Driver, and Boldin. If I did that I would have Megatron, Walter, Steve Smith, Driver, and Boldin as my WR's and Rice, Addai, Forte, and Bradshaw as my RB's.

Emphatic yes. I think Bradshaw is the better player and will continue to take time away from Jacobs. plus, Jacobs is brittle (but so is Calvin).

Forte and Barber. You drafted both of them too high to bench them in favor of backups. Plus, Forte has got to get it going eventually....right?

I think Choice has a better chance of putting up more points than Forte, and I got him off of waivers [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r.gif[/img]

But are you really going to start two RB's from the same team? Plus, Barber says he is 100%, how much work will Choice actually get?

Probably enough to put up more than the 4 points that Forte put up as a starter last week since the Cowboys have said that they'll increase his touches moving forward.

Last week was the worst game of Forte's career. If you think that is going to happen again you are crazy.

Pick 2 of the following for RB and RB/WR flex spot (PPR league):
Maroney @ Bucs, Brown @ Rams, Caldwell v Bears.
Maroney is my first choice because of the matchup and, if Morris is out, he's a lock. Leaning Brown for the other spot because, well, the Rams are fucking terrible.

Boldin or Walter? Is it worth the risk of Boldin possibly not playing?

OK, I've decided I need to make a trade. I'm in a standard non-PPR league. We start 2 RBs and 2 WRs, no flex.
My RB Stable (emphasis on the horse manure):
Barber
Forte
Washington (RIP)
Bradshaw
Felix Jones
My WR situation is slightly more pleasant:
Vincent Jackson (BEAST!)
Chad Ochocinco
Anquan Boldin
Steve Breaston
Johnny Knox
I'm thinking of offering Forte + 1 or 2 of Boldin/Breaston/Knox for Ced Benson and Antonio Bryant.
His situation -
RB:
MJD
Slaton
Benson
Julius Jones
WR:
Steve Smith (NYG)
Rice
Mason
Henderson
Meachem
My questions to you guys are:
a ) Or either one of us be getting screwed? (I'm a fantasy novice)
b ) What should my exact package be? (Forte and Bryant are musts simply to trade busts)
c ) Would you pull the trigger if you're the other guy?
Also, his QBs are Rodgers and Flacco and mine are Cutler and Orton...should I try swapping Flacco for Cutler (can't stand the inconsistency)?
