I got offered a trade which I think Im going to reject, but I figured Id get a few other opinions on it. Im pretty confident with my team as is. Im only worried Jacobs will get injured.
The Trade
Marvin Harrison + Thomas Jones for Brandon Jacobs + DeSean Jackson.
Current Team
QB: Drew Brees *I had J Gar too put hes not starting anymore
WR: Plaxico Burress, Santana Moss, DeSean Jackson, Bobby Engram, Kevin Walter, Jerry Porter
RB: Marion Barber III, Brandon Jacobs, Edgerin James, Chris Perry
TE: Chris Cooley
K: Nate Kaeding
DEF: Dallas, playing ATL vs KC this week though
Im not sure that Harrison will add me all that much to my receiving depth since Engram should back soon and Peyton's new go to guy seems to be Wayne and a bit of Gonzales. Im thinking DeSean might end up putting up good numbers throughout the season even when Curtis comes back. Jacobs though is a beast, but my concern is on his durability. Jacobs also doesn't seem to get much in the way TDs. I think Ill wait till after the games on Sunday to decide. I dont know anything about Jones, except that he plays for the Jets, so I cant really evaluate him.

How are you even considering this!? HELL. NO.
DeSean is much more valuable than Harrison is at this point, and Jacobs is the better RB, regardless of the committee situation.

Which two would you start: LT, MJD, Julius Jones, Forte?

Tough, because even if he is not 100% LDT kinda sorta deserves the nod.MagicJackBauer said:
If it was me:
Julius Jones against STL
Forte against TB.

Ya, I'm pretty sure I going with JJ. I'm nervous about Forte since Turner had a tough time running on the Bucs last week. MJD has gone off on Indy before and they are without Sanders but Jag's O line sucks. And you're right, how do you not start LT. Please just shoot me.

quick fantasy question from someone who has never played fantasy football: If you have a RB or WR on your team and that player returns a punt or kickoff for a TD do you get points for that?

Usually not. Some leagues do return yards and TDs but most don't, and I don't think it's in any standard default ruleset I know of.
Saerk said:
Just to echo what others have said...yeah, that's not a fair deal.
Incidentally man, why do you have kickers on the trading block? :lol

hey i drafted him as my RB in my Madden dynasty season and he ran for like 2200 yards in a season! Then again i also had Phillip Rivers as my QB and threw for like 78 TDs.

if its a points per reception league hes greatNinja Scooter said:
he gets the ball pretty often
I don't think I would have ever run to the opposite side of Hutch.Hitokage said:Haha, it evened out though. Those jerks on the right side ALWAYS fucked up, even with a tight end and fullback.
Still, even on that side, Alexander was hard to tackle. He'd fall forward and get 5. :\Some do give you points for that, but the reason why a lot don't is because DST is given special team points.Ninja Scooter said:

One reserved for him, Jerrrrramy Stevens, and Michael Pittman.Gigglepoo said:

Jones & LT (IF you have Sproles in reserve).MagicJackBauer said:
Otherwise, I'd probably go MJD/Jones instead of Forte/Jones.
Sanders being gone and the Jags' O-Line problems kind of cancel each other out.
MJD has been able to run well against Indy when both of those factors are played in, so I'd have him out there.

The point difference on kickers is so minimal it's not worth the bench to keep them over the season. Draft them last round and then don't sweat losing one on bye week, if you ask me.

What? He has 41 points in two games in the Yahoo! league I'm in, and 36 points in my ESPN league....DMczaf said:

Hmmm...can't decide whether to start McNabb or Rodgers at QB. :/

Yeah, same here with McFadden since I have Michael Bush on the bench. I know he took an injection today, but it's so difficult to judge how this will all play out.NJ x Falkor said:

If I knew David Patten was going to play horrible against DEN then I wouldn't have any problem starting both. But with Patten being #1 receiver now, it's made this a difficult decision for me. Oh well, I think I'll keep Patten in and McFadden.NJ x Falkor said:
I figure the Saints will go after Denver's pass defense, which isn't too good, while McFadden and M. Bush will have to battle Buffalo's excellent run D. At least that's my plan and thoughts/hopes.
What's even a tougher decision is to either play Dallas Clark or Robert Royal...<3 fantasy football
That's it, I'm benching LT. I don't want to hear anyone bitching about losing their QB Tom Brady anymore! I took LT first and who knows how long this sulking bastard will ride my bench. And I'll still win!
I knew I should have just taken Westbrook #1. I have a rule in fantasy that I have to actually like the player (or at least not actively dislike them) if I'm going to root for them every week. I broke it with LT and now I'm paying the price.

Anyone have links to games on the internet?
11-4 last week. 22-9 overall.
Copy/Paste
KC @ ATL - KC is so bad
OAK @ BUF - Been saying it all year, Buffalo is a good team
TB @ CHI -Almost wanna take TB with Hester out, but I like them especially at home
CAR @ MIN -I'm not ready to crown Carolina or give up on Minn yet.
MIA @ NE <-- Survival Pick, I hate to blow this pick so early, but this is the only sure bet win other than Giants who I already used.
CIN @ NYG -Bengals Offense is in for some pain
HOU @ TEN - almost wanna take Houston since they need that motivation win, but Titans D is just to punishing
ARI @ WAS - I Believe in Kurt Warner
DET @ SF - I'd like to be wrong
STL @ SEA - I dunno why, I just am.
NO @ DEN - Two gimped Defenses, Denver has the bigger guns with Colston out
PITT @ PHI - Game of the week. I've got more Eagles than Pitt in fantasy so i'll hope here.
JAC @ IND
CLE @ BAL - More Braylon drops will lead to a demand for Brady Quinn's emergence in the coming weeks. And Derek Anderson will not be at fault.
DAL @ GB - Its a shoot out, Dallas has the better ground game though.
NYJ @ SD - I'm not a delusional fan. Even with LaSandy Vaginason they'll win.

That interview with Keyshawn, Fritzgerald, and Boldin was awesome.
Key = 17-3 and Boldin has 6 touches and you have one....How would that make you feel?
Fritz = That I need more touches.
::::Key & Fritz Highfive:::::lol

Does anyone really think Greenbay is capable of beating the Cowboys?
Thats actually a genuine question. They were a great team last year, but I haven't really been able to get a bead on them this year. I've focused Rodgers who's played great, but defensively do they have what it takes to get it done against the Boys?
I hope they do...
