Interesting trade Romo. Giving up Nicks and Bradford. We will see if Clark comes back to form, a lot depends on Manning coming back. And you better hope turner doesn't slow down. But seems fair to me so you got my vote.

Looks like a pretty fair trade to me. I couldn't figure out who has the upper hand in the trade. I love NIcks and Bradford. I'd have a tough time letting them go.

Oo I can see it. Alex Smith is going to be a stud for the first 4 weeks of the season for sure!!! You'll be alright once Manning comes back because your putting a lot of faith in the Colts.

Yea, Alex can kiss my [profanity deleted] when Peyton comes back. I just need him to be on top of his game for a few weeks then it's back to the wire for him haha

Like I said earlier, I just can't go into the season with Rice as my flex. I have a man crush on Nicks, but I need at least three RB's, and Wells is far from proven

Anyone else having issues with espn fantasy page?

I love how the team I played this week is starting Tim Tebow as his starting QB. And Hartley as his kicker. I'm also glad that this team is in my division.

My matchup had a similar story. Wacko's team was garbage. He didn't even change the roster. Where you at Wacko? I thought you were going to be better this year

Probably enjoying the ladies at college. Maybe it'll straighten his brain out.

I lost my game by a single point. Pegged Grant as my Flex starter, and therefore couldn't switch him to my #1 RB and Mike Thomas back at the Flex, after realizing that Foster was inactive. Lesson learned [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/bag.gif[/img]

Just realized that I'm facing Pu in this league as well as JO's Yahoo league. Looking forward to going 2-0...[img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png[/img]

It should be good matchups. Those are the two leagues I like my team. It's your league that I"m worried about.

ESPN league I'm hoping for a shootout with SD & NE (Tom Brady and Vincent Jackson).

I'm in the same boat. In my league, I really don't have rock solid RB2 and I'm starting to worry if Freeman will regress this year.

I think a shoot-out is inevitable in that game. Hopefully, Romo, Andre and company go off as well.

Well I won't be mad if you beat me because of Romo and Andre. I have that pair in my money league. So its a win-win.

4. 3 BR ones, 1 side money league. Same as last year. Its manageable, barely.

I keep telling myself that I am going to focus more on my job everyday, and everyday I don't. But the company I work for is a joke, its so hard to take it seriously. I do need to start studying for the CPA exam again.

I finally made the jump to three this year; I couldn't imagine doing four. Too many players to root for.

The hardest part is the cross-league issues. I would be cheering for one guy on one team but he's playing against me in two other. But its always been pretty easy.

Ravens > Money League > BR leagues.

I like 4 leagues, I always have a dog usually in every fight.

[Romo Ravens]

My team is so bad. That's what I get for not paying attention in the offseason.

Your need major help at Quarterback. Your starting running backs aren't bad. I hate the whole Colts situation with Dallas Clark. He feel to me a bit in ER leagues. But now I am struggling at TE.

[Ed_Reed20]

Unless Manningham completely bombs tonight, I should get the split against Pu over the two leagues.

Yea you got it. Tony Romo got a ton of the bonus points. I think the scoring system is a bit flawed though. The league has a TD pass for 40+ yards getting 4 points. A TD pass for 50+ yards getting 5 points.

Since Romo threw a 53 yard TD, he gets both the 4 point AND 5 points for a total of 9 points. So for that one play Romo got 15 points (4 for TD, 4 for 40+, 5 for 50+, 2 for 50 yards).

It should be 40+ yard TD = 4 points; 50+ yard TD = 1
Therefore if somebody threw a 53 yard TD pass, the QB only gets 5 points not 9.

Either way you still would of beat me. But this makes QBs even more valuable, especially ones with big arms.

PuRock is going down this week for making fun of my team. 2-1 here I come!!

I didn't even notice that, and I completely agree. 9 point bonus for a 50+ yard TD is a little ridiculous.

I'm sure the same goes for WR and RBs with long TDs.

Brady got me 16 points last week on that 99 yard pass play. Kinda puts more value on the big play guys. With that said, I need to cut Heinz Ward.

You PM'd me saying it was one of the worst teams you've ever seen and if you could you would beat me up for it

[Ed_Reed20]

I didn't exacly have high hopes when I drafted him, but it's still sad to see a player like Zach Miller's fantasy value go in the crapper in Seattle.

I'm dying at qb. I will seriously trade anybody on my team for a good qb. Like Matt Schaub, Romo, Rivers. I have no way to win because of my qb position. I hate autopick. Every team I have this year is great except for this league

I have no QB and my team balled out this last week(139 points with joe flacco's meager 11 points).... QB's can put up good amount of points, but I'd much rather have 2 very good RB's and a top 3 receiver

Allow me to break down my thoughts as I was reading this comment:

Well, I am considering moving Ryan Fitzpatrick. Maybe he'd be willing to field an offer.

Depends on the league. In a PPR league, qbs and rb's are nothing unless they get consistent catches like McCoy or Matthews or Best or Rice. But even still the demand for receivers is so much greater. In a Non Ppr league qbs are important.
