    I know my first claim in's to pick up Lamar Miller & drop Knowshon Moreno but where do I go from there? Was thinking I should drop Spiller for a WR since they seem rather plentiful in my league w/Holmes, Beckham Jr., Shorts, and/or Reuben Randle all out there.

    And 2 for IDP:
    1) Should I stick with Harrison Smith, who's doing barely anything, or snatch Dawan Landry for my DB spot?
    2) Should I keep Dareus or snatch up Sheldon Richardson at DL? I thought Dareus would keep it up vs the Pats at home but Richardson seems to be more consistent at this point.

    Your first move is good. You need running back help with Ball out and Spiller doing nothing.

    I would rank your Spiller drop like this:

    Reuben Randle - Safe Giant
    Beckham Jr - Upside Giant
    Holmes
    Shorts - Can his hamstrings hold up?

    I'll get @LebaneseFF for your IDP help.

    Thanks Greg. One other IDP query to go w/the other two: sit on Bobby Wagner until we hear this turf toe's a bigger issue than thought or drop him for one of Timmons, Cushing, D-Jax, Lofton, or Demario Davis?

    Let's start with Bobby. I am a Bobby Wagner owner (in all my leagues) I will update you as the week gets along. I am not doing anything rash immediately.

    1) Should I stick with Harrison Smith, who's doing barely anything, or snatch Dawan Landry for my DB spot?

    Harrison was injured 2 weeks ago and thus his week 6 output was bad. I also own him in a few leagues. Right now the only person I am thinking of dropping him for is Dawan Landry and I am keeping a close eye on Mathieu in Arizona as he is starting to play 70-100 of snaps.

    2) 2) Should I keep Dareus or snatch up Sheldon Richardson at DL? I thought Dareus would keep it up vs the Pats at home but Richardson seems to be more consistent at this point.

    It depends what you want out of your team Consistency or high upside? Dareus has the higher upside but is the riskier play every week. Personally I would pick up Sheldon. I prefer consistency

    Well, Pete Carroll says he's gonna miss "a few weeks of action." In addition to the guys I mentioned above (Timmons, Cushing, D-Jax, Lofton, or Demario Davis), Sio Moore, Bradham, Marshall, Keenan Robinson, and Misi are also available to me to pick up.
