If I remember correct, they are all past their byes as well. Gaffney might be good to have on the bench just in case. Since you likely wont use Jones again, he can dump him, or even get rid of Nelson, as he hasnt been producing as of late.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-74408267245778807652011-10-27T14:55:22.111-04:002011-10-27T14:55:22.111-04:00I love all of those Waivers.

I think you need to get Davis now, even if it is just to keep him off other people's teams.<br /><br />I think with Romo past his bye, you can afford to get rid of Ryan. Might be worth putting out there as a trade first just to see if you can get more value for him. But if no one takes him, then give him the boot. I think Torain would be a great add here. You know that Wash. likes to run the ball, and he should be getting most of the work. I'm sure Helu will steal some thunder every now and then, but for the most part, Torain should lead the Skins.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-83615514302398752502011-10-27T11:26:33.084-04:002011-10-27T11:26:33.084-04:00I'm all about Gaffney right now.

Little is great in PPR, but you just cant trust that offense at all. Brown is gaining ground as well, but I have to go with Gaffney.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-25966595040643382882011-10-27T11:25:37.520-04:002011-10-27T11:25:37.520-04:00This is a tough spot, because I really love your W...This is a tough spot, because I really love your WR lineup. You do need the boost at RB2, but losing any of your starters, even for Maclin or Little, would be a big drop in consistency and points per week. <br /><br />What you need to do is figure out what combination will give you the most points. I wrote about it last week, and you have the perfect scenario for it. Since I don’t know your scoring system (it will be a lot different in PPR and Standard here) I would try it if I were you. http://godhateslosers.blogspot.com/2011/10/fantasy-football-strategy-how-to-pick.html<br /><br />Do the math and see how many points you average per week with your current lineup. Then do the math again but make your roster Wallace, Nicks, (Maclin or Little), Rice and Mathews.<br /><br />If they new lineup has a higher weekly average. Then I say go for it.<br /><br />In terms of who to trade, I agree that it shouldn’t be Wallace. I think Dez will get stronger as the year goes on, it does concern me just a little that he is returning punts because in his short year and a half career, he has already sustained two injuries returning. I had Nicks incredibly high at the beginning of the year. I thought he would finish top three for sure. He will still put up great numbers and have huge weeks, but wont be what I expected just yet. If you get Mathews, give up one of those two.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-13506968099472232412011-10-27T11:18:59.813-04:002011-10-27T11:18:59.813-04:00I've got Scott higher.

I like him over Morris this week.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-3619739938366743642011-10-26T20:05:36.415-04:002011-10-26T20:05:36.415-04:00Who to pickup and who to drop?

I'm 4-3 (but in 4th place due to tiebreakers- 3rd highest scoring team) after some bad luck and on my way up (thanks to you all here).<br /><br />Interesting guys on waiver wire: F Davis (waivers), Gaffney, Torain (waivers)<br /><br />My team:<br />QB (1): Romo, Ryan<br />WR (3): Nicks, S Johnson, Boldin, Nelson<br />RB (2): McCoy, MJD, F Jones, D Thomas, Helu, P Thomas<br />TE (1): Gates<br />K, D<br /><br />I almost feel like F Davis is more important than Torain or Gaffney given Gates' injuries, and the bump it would give to my starting 9. I only have P Train on the team because my opponent needs a 2nd RB for this week.<br /><br />Drop P Thomas for Davis, and Felix Jones for Torain, in that waiver priority order?<br /><br />Drop Ryan for one of them? What do you think?JCShutoutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-83207180041596464102011-10-26T12:55:16.670-04:002011-10-26T12:55:16.670-04:00Need a WR/3 - standard league.

I've let it known they're all on the block (but I really have no intent of parting with Wallace for his consistent awesomeness). Needless to say, I was offered Ryan Mathews for Wallace straight up. That owner also has Sproles, FJax and MJD. I know the talent is there with Mathews but the constant nicks and injuries concern me - even though I have Tolbert. I think if he would accept any of my other WRs I may do it. What would be your preference in my position in terms of who to ask for/give up?zachernesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-64937128511553337152011-10-25T22:20:56.332-04:002011-10-25T22:20:56.332-04:00Do you like Bernard Scott @ Seattle or Maurice Mor...Do you like Bernard Scott @ Seattle or Maurice Morris @ Denver more this week? I'm currently starting Morris, but could acquire Scott by dropping another player if it's a good thing to do. Thanks!Randy04noreply@blogger.com
