My Team:

RB Ryan Mathews, SD
RB Maurice Jones-Drew, Jac
RB/WR Justin Forsett, Sea
WR Marques Colston, NO
WR Mike Sims-Walker, Jac
TE Dallas Clark, Ind
D/ST Packers D/ST, GB
K David Akers, Phi

Bench Tom Brady, NE QB
Bench Antonio Gates, SD TE
Bench Jerome Harrison, Cle RB
Bench Johnny Knox, Chi WR
[s]Bench Tim Hightower, Ari RB [/s]
[s]Bench Derrick Mason, Bal WR [/s]
Bench Terrell Owens, Cin WR

[i]Added: Arian Foster
obtaining: Wes Welker[/i]

Was an automatic draft and I'm playing with family members and friends. Nothing to lose but bragging rights and top 2 winners will get some type of perk like dinner cooked for a week etc....Nothing serious LOL But I'd love to give it a good try. Thanks for any advice.

[b]1 -[/b][u][/u] I have a trade offer from one who REALLY WANTS [b]"Derrick Mason"[/b] just to have a Ravens player on the team, she's offering [b]"Wes Welker"[/b] as bait. [b]Yes or No??[/b]

[b]2 -[/b][u][/u] I am considering dropping [b]"Tim Hightower"[/b] so I can pick [b]"Arian Foster"[/b] up from the FA list. [b]Yes or No??[/b]

(Also been considering dropping Knox but I'm unsure about him)

Yes. Both are ppr guys. But Wes seems to be back and is working really hard.

[b]Pick up Arian Foster now! Stop what your're doing. Get Arian Foster before its too late.[/b] I do like Hightower, I would drop Johnny Knox instead. Can never have enough running backs.

Foster could prove to be a top back this year. He'll get goalline carries and he's on an offensive team. What's not to love. Knox is a big play guy. He'll still get looks but they have Aromashuda stealing a lot of looks.

I'd make the trade and would definitely pick up Foster in favor of Hightower.

[PuRock]

I have to wonder in how many leagues, Foster is still sitting in FA.

He was sitting in the Romo's ESPN's league for a good while and was surprised when I saw him for the plucking. I was worried about my running game, now not so much.

[stormie]

Ok, my instincts were right on about Foster. Now drop Knox or Hightower or one of the others? Most of the lists I looked at have Hightower a lot lower down in rankings and projections.

I was surprised to see him available, going to grab him up now.

Why are you still typing then...hmmm?

[PuRock]

BTW, what do you need both Antonio Gates and Dallas Clark for? You'll have all this talent sitting on your bench when you could've drafted another RB instead.

*insert cough* A family member advised me to carry to TE's. I ?'d it but did it anyway. You do have a good point there.

That's what learning is for. You'll remember the point next year. It's not bad to carry two TE's. But if you get one of the best, you can afford to wait until later rounds to pick up a decent back-up (i.e. Owen Daniels, Dustin Keller, Chris Cooley).

[Ed_Reed20]

Stormie, you should ship off either Gates or Clark for a RB.

Lesson learned yes!

Think I'll monitor the rosters and wait till one of them decides they need a better TE, I see some RB's I might be able to snag.

Thanks to all

I can probably get Matt Forte or Felix Jones. ??

[PuRock]

With Foster I think you are pretty set at RB. MJD, Ryan Matthews, Foster and Harrison will solidify your team.

I would wait a little and see how your roster shapes up. If someone gets injured trade Clark or Gates for a filler. You also could use help with getting a pure #1 WR guy.

Yes, best available FA WR is Mike Wallace. I could sit on the TE's and wait. Damn I hate injuries, but I'll take advantage of it.

appreciate the help

i'd trade gates. the amount peyton looks to clark he's basically a WR he'll score more than gates by quite a way i reckon

I'd trade Clark. Even though it supposedly isn't serious, he's dealing with a leg injury right now. And with V-Jax being out of the picture in San Diego, Rivers will be looking to Gates more than ever.

I'm a big Clark lover. And I use to say say Clark before Gates. But now that V-Jax probably won't be a Charger. Gates will see a lot of looks, even be lined up at WR. That's what happened to Clark last year when Gonzales went down.

Even though I'm not a big fan of Gates I have jumped on the bandwagon because of the whole V-Jax matter.
