Your Turn. Help a Fellow Reader Out!

Got this question in the comments today from Shad0ws. Thought it would be fun to post it up here and get some responses from my readers. It's an interesting situation.

Tell me what you all think!
"I have a question on a trade in my league, have been doing well this season but want an outside opinion on this one.

10 Teams, .5 PPR, and I was offered this by the 3rd place team

(me) Run DMC + Wes Welker for (him) AP + Megatron

My team is pretty stacked atm. I'm 3-0 averaging 150 points/week, which is 100 more than the other 3-0, and I just got a deal done for Andre Johnson, so if this went through I would have AP and Mendy at RB, Andre and Calvin at WR, and Miles Austin at flex when he returns. WW and DMC are the top scoring position players this year so far, but I don't know if they can keep it up, welker cuz of other option in NE and DMC cuz of injury. Megatron and AP are 2 of the most consistently high performing players in the league. Thoughts?
I could also possibly do DMC + Austin, but I think I like Austin better than Welker long term this season."

So there it is. Darren McFadden and Wes Welker for Adrian Peterson and Calvin Johnson. What do you say?

Fantasy Football Week 4 Position Rankings

Alright, so, I'm a bit early on this, but we'll be OK. I'm nervous to say that this week seems pretty straight up. We have gotten a feel for most of the players and defenses, so there is a bit more confidence.

You can see in the Running Back rankings that there is a very sharp drop in talent toward the middle, anyone beyond that point really isn't ideal to have as a starter. But on the Wide Reciever side, there is talent all over the place. Lots of gambles in the later part of the list, but each of them could break.

It will prove to be another damn crazy year, but we are seeing a blatant shift to the passing game, even for teams that were once very run-heavy like the Steelers and Ravens.

Feel free to ask any questions here, or point out if I left someone off the list that you think should have made it.

So yeah, here we go...

Draft Time: Fantasy Site Battle

So I’m doing this awesome thing this year in the hopes of proving just how awesome I really am. I’m getting together with some fellow fantasy football gurus and playing in a 12 man league. These are all guys who work on radio shows, or write other blogs and somehow contribute to the fantasy football community. And I’m going to do everything in my power to prove the GHL is the greatest fantasy site on the internet.
The rules are a little funky, but for sanity’s sake, let’s just say that it is basically a PPR league.
We just finished the first round of the draft, so let’s take a look at the picks and break them down a bit. Feel free to analyze the picks yourself in the comments below and let me know what you think was a good move and what could be considered tragic.
