October 9, 201114 yr Well the beginning of the "bye weeks" is upon us and I won't lie it is going to hit me pretty hard in Week 5. My top 3 WR's are all on byes... Dez Bryant (recently traded for him) Brandon Marshall Anquan Boldin So I'm looking to pick one up, here are the best available, in my mind at least. Who do you think I should pick up? Michael Crabtree vs. Tampa Bay Early Doucet @ Minnesota Preston Parker @ San Francisco Darrius Heyward-Bey @ Houston Titus Young vs. Chicago Jacoby Jones vs. Oakland Crabtree jumps out and is the flashy pick, but what do you think? And now once I pick one of them up, should they start over Nate Burleson vs. Chicago or David Nelson vs Philly (my other two already on the team)? Those are your Top 3 WR's? LOL Parker's the flavor of the week. Crabtree and Parker will have similar numbers. Pick one.
October 9, 201114 yr I just traded Steve Smith (Panthers) for Rivers and Best now that was a good deal. Yes it is. I want in on that league next year.
October 9, 201114 yr I needed a QB like Rivers and I already have Calvin Johnson, Nate Washington and Parker TB at WR. I never really been a fan of Steve Smith but Rivers and Best are players I like so I went with the deal. Buy low sell high on Smith. Rivers and San Diego are tradionally slow starters. This year the team's doing well and Rivers should get better after the by week. Especially if Gates starts to play.
October 9, 201114 yr Got one for ya: Just got offered this trade -I give up: Mark Ingram & Sidney Rice -I get: Shonn Greene & Nate Washington I have a stud RB in Ray Rice but I'm very weak at RB2. I've been playing Ingram but he hasn't developed like I'd hoped. My other RBs are Brandon Jacobs and Michael Bush, neither of which are starters. The WRs in the deal are totally irrelevant to me as my other 3 WRs are Mike Wallace, Dez Bryant, and Julio Jones, all of which I consider good to go. This trade was his response to me offering Sidney Rice for Shonn Greene straight up. The "from this point forward" rankings I've been looking at indicate Greene as a superior player from this point forward, but I'd like to get the thoughts of BGP on it. I think Ingram is more of a talent but something is missing there. Something's missing in New York too as Greene hasn't exactly set the world on fire. Also, while I truly don't care about the WRs, I don't want to hand him a great deal there either. Though, to be honest, I think I'm getting the better of it. What say you? I say NO don't do it. You have to be patient with Ingram. He's a rookie, they're building him up slowly. Come playoff time when he's putting up mid 20+ weeks, you'll regret it. People need to look long term and not just this week and next week.
October 9, 201114 yr How about this deal? I give up Calvin Johnson and Darrin Sproles I get Matt Forte and Mike Williams I suppose that depends on how the deal makes you better. As of right now, you're basically trading 2 starters for 1.
October 9, 201114 yr Pick 2 (one has to be a WR): Steven Ridley vs. NYJ Percy Harvin vs. Arizona Santonio Holmes @ NE Jonathon Stewart vs. NO Ryan Grant @ Atlanta U-G-L-Y you're UGLY. Holmes and
October 9, 201114 yr Bye weeks are killing my WR's this week, so don't laugh but... Pick one... David Nelson vs. Philly Nate Burleson vs. Chicago on MNF ESPN has Nelson projected to get 10.9 vs Burleson's 6.1, but I don't put a lot of stock in those projections. Burleson Philly's DB's are going to shut one of the wideouts down, but you can't say which one. Nelson could get 10+ points or 4-5 pts. I think Burleson's going to go for 8+
October 9, 201114 yr What about the counter I offered him? I give: Megatron, Sproles, Keller I get: Williams, Forte, Finley Much more interesting and makes it a tough call. I'd probably do it.
October 9, 201114 yr Minnesota? haha! What do they have to do with anything? Does he know anything about football?
October 9, 201114 yr Pick 1: LeGarrette Blount @ SF Jordy Nelson @ATL Jahvid Best vs. CHI Jordy Nelson @ ATL - GB will be way out front and Nelson may see 15 balls.
October 10, 201114 yr I lost by 0.5 unless there is a stat correction at some point. Roddy dropped that last pass that would have given me the W.
October 10, 201114 yr ^It took 2 away from Ryan to put me up 6. He still has Bears D. Not sure of my chances. Hit or miss....
