This FF question deserves its own thread (lengthy)

Ceej · 09-09-2008, 06:04 PM

I'm already pretty depressed regarding my RBs.

I've got McGahee, Selvin Young, Rudi Johnson and Kolby Smith. It's a deep league - 14 teams.

So, what I planned on doing was asking for assistance in regards to trades. What I plan to do is list the other 13 guys' rosters in hopes there is some way you guys can iron out a deal with me. I understand if alot of you people don't read this because of its length. But, any help would be amazing.

Okay, here's my team.

Normally I wouldn't go apesh*t in the 2nd week. But, between Ray Rice and McClain playing well and Selvin Young partying in an RBBC it's hard not to.

The three teams I'm targeting is Suitable Hair, HARDBALLS, and Buccaneers.

I know this is alot of information to soak up and I completely understand if nobody responds or can even think of any proposals.

All help is appreciated.

I'm really bad at constructing hypothetical trades. I am decent, however, at the waiver wire. I'd target Royal, obviously. Which Rbs are available? Like Tim Hightower or Sammy Morris.

This is a deep 14 team league. The waiver wire is very thin.

The best possible RB FA is Kevin Jones.

Since you mentioned the possibility of trading Big Ben, Hardballs is probably the worst off at QB. Grant looks like he might have ongoing hamstring issues (making Brandon Jackson a buy low target). Personally, I'd wait a week or two to see if another QB goes down. IMO, you've got two top 14 QBs, which are valuable commodities.

How many players do you start?

Hightower was an excellent pickup, btw. Seriously, let me know who's out there on the waiver wire.

Ceej · 09-10-2008, 11:45 AM

We start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1K, 1D

I will post waiver wire guys when I get off work.

We don't have an add/drop. We have 5 pickups for the whole year.

Counting the 2 pickups for K and D/ST bye weeks? That's a reeruned rule.

If you're dead set on getting RB help, I'd go after Forte or Grant (in that order). Garcia's injured and/or about to be benched and Hasselbeck has a bulging disc in his back.
