    Hey guys,
    Well the worst that could have happened, did.....I lost my fourth game in a row, setting me back to 4-4 and went from 2nd place to 5th place. I am now fighting just to make sure I make the playoffs this year. I need some serious help across the board. I got pummeled this weekend!

    I have 6th waiver priority this week. Currently on the waiver wire I have Fred Jackson who was dropped last week, and then the following.

    I am not sure if I should start considering trades. Neither of my waiver wire pickups (Brown,Mason) showed much promise. Orton was the only pickup I had last week that really surprised me, and of course he was on my bench. Gio doesn't look too good, Vereen is hit or miss depending on the week. I need someone that will give me consistent points.
    I was thinking, since there is a chance I won't even make the playoffs, maybe I could package Josh Gordon with Jimmy Graham and get myself a RB1?
    I am up for suggestions at this point.
    Thanks
    Brian

    I wouldn't panic you faced what was probably the hottest team of the week!

    I understand why you have a backup IDP for LB. but not sure why you have one at DL. did you want to hold on to Quinn? if so start him and dump Dareus

    STep 2 pick up Sims he might start sooner then later
    STep 3 I don't see Hill on that list but in case Gio can't go you have Hill

    Packaging Jimmy Graham might not be a bad idea Jordan Reed and Donnell will carry you forward. but target a RB1 maybe one on a bye week this week. They will come a little Cheaper. I am thinking Forte!

    Hi,
    I have a limit of 5 rb and 5 wr on my team That frees up some bench spots and I do my best to have reliable backups on the bench at each position. 2 LB and 2DL just worked out
    that way since I had the roster space. Quinn was doing jack most of the season so I stashed him and picked up Dareus to run for a while. It doesn't free up space for anyone I
    need so I just keep him so nobody else can have him. I try to keep value players on my bench.
    Ill take a look at Sims, but who can I drop to pick him up since I only have a 5 RB limit? Is there anyone you would drop for him?
    Hill is not available.
    Thanks

    No I wouldn't drop any of those RB for him. Stay put. if that is the case stay put.

    aim for a trade FORTE! Jimmy Graham and your worst Bryce Brown.

    Unfortunately the person that is holding Forte also has Brandon Marshall, Jordy Nelson, Antonio Gates, and Greg Olsen
    so I don't see them giving up Forte for either of the guys I want to get rid of! LOL

    I made no moves on waivers last night, but Fred Jackson is still available. I don't see myself using Bryce Brown over Hillman, Vereen, Bernard, or Mason, over the next 3 weeks. Would it be a good idea to pick up Jackson and drop Brown? He has always seemed to be the consistent back in Buffalo even over Spiller. Theyre on BYE this week and he is expected back shortly after that. Im thinking, once he is back, Brown would be nearly obsolete anyway, right?
    Thanks

    Also,
    Hoyer, Griffin III, Fitzpatrick, Bridgewater, Glennon, Carr, Vick are top available QB in my league. Are any of them more reliable than
    Tony Romo this week? Should I stash any of them over Orton or Ryan on my bench?
    Thanks

    You are good at QB - Stand Pat

    Jackson is a keep over BB -
