    I'll start it off here.

    Got offered a minor deal.

    Receive - Antonio Brown, WR
    Give - Pierre Garcon, WR

    Scoring is standard. Nothing out of the ordinary other than some bonus points for 10 or more catches a game and some distance bonuses.

    Balance of my roster:

    Olsen, Greg TE CAR
    Jones, Julio WR ATL
    Tate, Golden WR SEA
    Gates, Antonio TE SD
    Ballard, Vick RB IND
    Johnson, Calvin WR DET
    Dawson, Phil K SF
    Rams DST STL
    Rivers, Philip QB SD
    Bush, Reggie RB DET
    Mathews, Ryan RB SD
    Garcon, Pierre WR WAS
    Brady, Tom QB NE
    Powell, Bilal RB NYJ

    Basically I'm trading my third WR for the other teams third WR...I personally think Brown is an upgrade. Anyone else have any thoughts?

    Looks like a trade to your benefit to me

    I'm thinking the same...it's not that great a difference, but I think Brown is a better stat guy...

    It's hard to trade Peyton Manning there. Kaepernick and Vick could be a nice pair but at the same time with the way they run and the news they may not be "protected," you may lose both of them at the same time...

    Yea i'm not really digging it. I want to see what thompkins does, because I think he'll be really good. And I haven't heard Thomas' name called at all tonight. Is he playing?

    I'd try to figure out the projections for Manning and Kaepernick too to see how big the difference is. I'd bet that Manning is more, but it might not be that much more...

    You didn't start Peyton or Thomas? Ouch...
     
  12. Steve12

    Steve12 The night is dark and full of terrors

    Nope. Both seated firmly on the bench.

    bump:

    Any other thoughts on the Brown for Garcia trade?

    I think Jeff Garcia's been out of the league too long to have any real impact on your fantasy team.

    I traded David Wilson for Peyton Manning before week one. I think I got the better end of that.

    Steve12 The night is dark and full of terrors

    Should I drop st Louis defense to pick up Miami? Standard scoring 10 teams
     
  18. ICECOLD

    ICECOLD 1st Stringer

    Is there another defense available? Both of those teams play really good offenses the next 3 weeks
     
  19. Steve12

    Steve12 The night is dark and full of terrors

    There's a lot of other defenses available. There's only 10 teams in the league lol. Arizona, buffalo, Tennessee, Pittsburgh... Basically all the defenses you'd expect to be available.

    The Rams pass rush is way better than the Saints and the Falcons let New Orleans get to Ryan 3 times. THe Rams corners aren't terrible either. I would keep them.
