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.

yeah true

Qbs in this league are important since it is a rwo qb league. Plus you get bonuses for big yardage and long td passes.

I almost feel bad enough for you, to trade you Schaub. But I only have McCoy on my bench. I would definitely trade you McCoy for fair value. Brady/Schaub was my draft strategy for this league. Can't really go away from it yet.

Na its not worth it. I'll stick it out and hope for the best. I'm gonna ride Andy Dalton all the way to the ship for sure. Probably going to have to wait till next year.

I drafted in another two qb league and got romo and Rodgers. There is no way I don't make it to the championship game. And its a keeper league so I'm probably going to keep both qb's

Looking for help at RB. If anyone has an offer, send one through.

So, what do you guys think about Torrey Smith? Is he a good 3rd WR? Do you think we will be starting him from now on or do you think we will go back to Lee Evans soon?

I love the kid, I picked him up on Waiver and hope he does well.

Fantasy-wise. Its a wait and lets see. The Ravens took advantage of what the the Rams were giving and their weak secondary. I think Lee Evans when 100% healthy will still be on the field a ton. He is the better player (especially route runner) right now.

But with that being said. If they keep sending Torrey out deep and get the same results then ofcourse Lee is going to be slowly bumped out of plays more and more. Teams will now be paying more attention to Torrey

It was an amazing performance by Torrey, but it's far too early to trust him as 3rd WR unless you're in a very deep league.

On another note, just noticed I'm facing ATD in this league and JO's Yahoo one. I'm thinking another split...

[jsausley]

Well, I'm playing in an odd league. We have 2 RB, 1 RB/WR, and 3 WR. I have a ton of depth at RB (Ray Rice, Michael Turner and Jahvid Best), so I always start 3 RB 3 WR (as opposed to 4 WR). Not nearly as much at WR. My good WRs are Mike Wallace (yuck) and Anquan Boldin. My third one is Donald Driver. So I'm thinking of starting Torrey Smith over Donald Driver.

[Shawn`]

Need some advice.

Have to pick a QB: Romo or Henne

I also picked up James Casey a RB/TE and I could start him in place of Mendenhall, Jahvid Best, Felix Jones or Kellen Winslow. Should I? He had a good game last week but he's going up against Pittsburgh.

Hopefully the newly acquired Devery Henderson helps you out. He's been a solid contributor for me the last few weeks.

Except Colston should be back soon. So Henderson will probably be too inconsistent to rely on again

Exactly why I traded him. Couldn't at all trust him with Colston and Moore getting healthier. Addai has more upside with the issues at QB, and if he remains healthy, he'll likely see around 15 touches per game, making him a solid flex starter.

[Ed_Reed20]

Looks like a split over the two leagues ATD, unless Freeman erupts tonight without much help from Mike Williams.

[Romo Ravens]

I hate this league. I go from losing badly to Pu one week, then the next week, my team blows up and I win by a lot.

[Romo Ravens]

I really need a QB1. If anyone likes someone on my team, please don't hesitate to send me an offer or a PM.

[Ed_Reed20]

Happy to be 4-0 but without Andre the next few weeks though, things could get tough...

[-Truth-]

Looking to trade Brandon Marshall with one or possibly even two more players for an upgrade at the Flex. Send an offer or PM me.

[PuRock]

I got murdered by the big play TD Bonuses. Mike Wallace, D Murray, G Jennings. Slaughterfeast.

[Ed_Reed20]

Has anyone heard from Wacko since we had our draft? Even though I'm facing him this week with an injury and bye-depleted lineup, I'm still probably going to win big.

Wacko is gone. That is an easy win for you. Damn. I am nipping at your heels in the division. I just need the same record as you to move into first since I have more points for.

Could've done it this week if it wasn't for those darn blasted bonus points.

[lowrider]

all I got to do is get to the dance. Then watchout

[PuRock]

I would like to thank the person who cut Willis McGahee a couple weeks back. He's going to fit nicely into my team.

Damn. I put a voucher in for him when I saw him on the waiver wire. Great pick up. Would've appreciated the depth. My starters just can't shake their injuries. I'm talking about you, Miles Austin...with Ryan Mathews as the honorable mention.

[-Truth-]

Lost this week to a 1-7 team, breaking my league best streak of 6 consecutive victories. Fitting with our loss to the Seahawks, to say the least. I want to thank Frank Gore, Ryan Mathews and Jeremy Maclin for their combined outputs of 7 points.

It's a shame, but has he been active at all?

Horrible week for me, injuries have really hurt me this year.

[Ed_Reed20]

Just read Fred Davis and Trent Williams are going to be suspended for the rest of the season. There goes my TE in this league and one of the Yahoo leagues. Unbelievable...

[PuRock]

Impressive 1 point win by Truth last night to get 1st. I had it written as a loss. If he did lose, it would've been me and him in the first round. The two highest scoring teams. It had me a bit worried.

[lowrider]

This season has been very frustrating. Just wait till next year when I actually draft my team.

Thank you. As did I, without question. I was down by 46 points with only 2 players left. And not only was I incredibly fortunate enough to have Matthew and Mathews deliver the comeback, but I still wouldn't have secured the #2 seed had Team Juggernaut not taken a stunning 4 point loss to a then 4-8 Nnamdi AwesomeDogs, as Juggernaut held the tie breaker over me via both the Head-To-Head and Division victories. I was certainly worried as well. Your roster is very well balanced, and aside from Plaxico Burress (No offense), any of your starters are capable of having a huge output. What would've worked in your favor was that I've also given up the 2nd most points in our league. I guess I just bring out the best in my opponents lol
