It's Official, Tony Romo has been traded and David Garrard is my new Starting QB. All I have to say is yes you can laugh now at that trade... but if the Cowboys continue to struggle I will have looked smart. Love it when things could possibly turn you from a laughing stock to a smart man.

[b]Ok Question, a guy sent me a trade proposal... he wants Reggie Wayne and in return he will send me Mike Sims Walker and Michael Crabtree.... now I'm going to decline the trade but is that fair value at all?[/b]
[/quote]

I don't consider that trade fair value. Wayne gets consistent targets and is part of high-powered passing attack. You can't say the same with MSW or Crabtree despite their talent.

You'd think they'd add targets by now considering how important a statistic it is. Last season, [b]I remember there being a weekly target column but they don't appear to be doing it this year. [/b]

I never seen someone so happy after getting a QB who was just benched.

Who else do you want to get rid of, I'm sure I can help.

I was looking more for a sortable stat category in the free agent market within our league. Both Cbssportsline fantasy football (still my favorite) and ESPN have targets as a sortable stat by week, year, projections, etc. Would've thought Yahoo would get on board with those stats in-league.

[AwakenTheDemon]

I'm really beginning to think Shonn Greene is turning into a waste of a starter spot.

In the 2 games this week I faceoff vs ER20 both times, and the matchup's are both within 1 point.

Yep, I expected the same from Yahoo too.

He's definitely not looking like a good option now. There's still time for him to produce though.

I wouldn't count Greene out yet. LT has certainly stole his thunder (way more so than I projected), but see how his production and body holds up over the long haul of the season. Greene might be his strongest during fantasy playoff season.

Clausen is killing my production with Steve Smith. 14 pass yards, a lost fumble, and a INT in one half...

Send him my way for Fred Jackson.

[XxSizzleXx]

Gahhh, Drew Brees is going to win you that 1 game alone ER. The bonus' for amount of yards are kind of whack, Brees having 365 yds and 2 picks you wouldn't think it would be as much as 45 points.

You can still make a comeback.

[Clutch Ravens]

Having Rivers, Peterson and Jackson in my team is a pretty good feeling on a day like this.

You expect Rivers to put up big numbers but Peterson appears to be running harder than ever and the big plays keep coming for Jackson.

[Clutch Ravens]

I'm getting some decent results, considering this is technically my rookie season for normal fantasy football.

EDIT: Don't let Yahoo auto-pick. You end up with VY10 at QB and RBs that total a COMBINED 2.20 points.

In one of the Yahoo leagues somebody cut Reggie Bush? Why? Even with his injury he'll be back for the second half of the season. And he is a much better option than any other waiver fodder.

I put a waiver request in, hoping he would slip through the cracks but somebody else picked him up before me.

I also heard that he's already off crutches. Should be back faster than expected.

I had a claim in for him too. Didn't get him though.

That's one of the problems with a deep league. If you win a couple of games, good luck trying to improve your team through the waiver. Way to many people picking, very little little out there.

Deep leagues, drafts are so important.

[PuRock]

Man Dustin Keller is bringing me back in ATD's league. 2 TDs 90+ yards in almost a quarter. Ouch! Only 9 more yards for the +5 bonus.

[XxSizzleXx]

Gah why do my games always have to be so close.

[lowrider]

Love me some Michael Vick. Take me to the ship Vick!!!

Clausen for Jackson? Sure =P
Smith for Jackson? Sorry.

That was me... Did the math, if he's out 4 weeks, they are sitting him through their bye week which is week 10... That would mean I'd have his services through 4 games at the end of the season, if I'm lucky... I actually have (or thought I had) rb depth in that league, with S-Jax R. Brown, Run-DMC and Sproles... Turns out Sproles will never touch the ball more than a handful, S-Jax got injured, and I'm ******, well win some and loose some, I guess....

On a side-note, what's up with atd's league? After this week I'll have 550+ points scored against me... that's like 180+ a week.... Am I not supposed to wven stand a chance.... arrrrrh (maybe this belonged in the frustration thread )

Sounds like you are getting burned by the crazy bonus points. After reviewing the league rules, it really is a QB league. The winner of this league will have the best QB probably. 6 points per touchdown but you get 5 point bonuses at 200 & 300. So for a good QB you are consistently getting 10 extra points a game. While only getting deducted 1 point for an INT.

Whereas WRs get a 5 point bonus for 100 yards same with RBs. So while a good game for a QB is 300 yards (10 points) a good game for RBs and Qbs is 100+ yards (5 points). And if a WR or RB fumble its -2 points unlike the -1 for an INT.

Yeah, and I've been really unfortunate... week one I got burned by the monster weeks of Arian Foster and Ochocinco... Those 2 together had 100 points in league 1 in that league... Week 2 I played SupaB, who's inactive, and got a w ... This week I'm getting destroyed by AP, Rivers and Desean Jackson... Those 3 are good for about 135 points... My TOTAL is 145 points... Makes it difficult to win ;)

Ahhh yes, I got to play SupaB this week and notched up another win. SupaB if you're reading this, you're pissing me off. If you say you're going to play and sign up, set your damn lineup and play! I'll take the win, but I'd prefer an actually challenge instead of seeing Roethlisberger and Reggie Bush starting.

I think we have two inactive people in ER's league. They must be really bad at eating at restaurants, probably order way to much food than they can eat.

My team's awful in ER's league but I still atleast try and compete.

Having Rivers in a QB driven league is pretty sweet just now.

Finally, I just put up 209.60 points on Elmo.

[XxSizzleXx]

Yea the QB bonus' are a little whack, should only be a 5 point bonus for 300 yards and you'd think interceptions would be more or at least the same deduction as fumbles. Sucks I got suck with Garrard and Kolb.

[Ed_Reed20]

I need to James Jones to do enough to hold off Donald Driver in my league and Julius Peppers to have a monster game and the Packers D get shredded in ATD's league.

[XxSizzleXx]

I was just going to mention this.

Gm 1 - Driver vs Jones -6 points
Gm 2 - Packers D vs Peppers -1 point

Those are some close games. I was extremely disappointed that the Jets put up that many points against Miami, leaving me with 1 point for my team D.
