FF RB Poll

[majesstik1]

Which RB would you choose to be your RB3?

My 1 and 2 are Portis and Lewis.

[majesstik1]

Bonus question...who to take as WR3?

Marvin Harrison
Lee Evans
Roy Williams
Calvin Johnson
Greg Jennings
Dwayne Bowe
Santonio Holmes

[beasley for pres]

I say Ronnie Brown.

Then for the WR, I don't think you could go wrong with any of em. But out of Bills camp I hear Evans is looking good. Though I do like myself some D-Bowe.

I like Evans the most...and I think I may be leaning towards J-Stew for the RB. Brown says he still doesn't trust his knee, and tearing an ACL takes over 12 months to heal from, putting him at about week 8. He probably won't be fully effective all year though.

[beasley for pres]

Oh and I bet you can get one of those rookies a little later on

[Gof the Gij]

Stewart and Holmes. Though Jennings and Bowe would be close behind,

[majesstik1]

Oh and I bet you can get one of those rookies a little later on

I'm picking in the back-to-back position, so I'm affraid of waiting too long for my RB3. This is a flex league, with 2 starting RBs, 3 starting WRs, and 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE). I have Palmer, Portis, Lewis, and Owens on the roster so far.

oh I didn't know that about brown, then yeah I like Stewart

[Sac-King_916]

brown, easily. i'm not too big on those three rookies, some ppl are ridiculously overrating them. i'm not to big on denver running backs anymore either because shanny has had a hard time finding a consistent back ever since he lost portis. brown is recover well and should be good to go by week 1, but i wouldn't expect him to play like the stud he was in '07. i do however believe he will out perform those rookies, as well as selvin young.

[Ace Matherton]

Smith then 5 rounds later take Bell for insurance and neglect the RB poisition the rest of the draft. For all the Brown pickers, not 1 RB has come back from his surgery in the last 10 years, this quick and been productive the next season thats a worthless risk IMO when his previous OC and coach made him all the sudden valuable. There is nothing to like about the miami RBBC unless youre soley a R Williams owner.

Or take Smith and Fote/Stewart next two picks and neglect it the rest of the way.

[queensbury49er]

Brown, Rookie RB's do not equal consistency in Fantasy. Brown when healthy does.

[majesstik1]

Went with Lee Evans and Roy Williams :)

I'm gambling on getting a guy like Fred Taylor, Chester Taylor, or one of the rookies next time around.

So far, I've just been filling out my starting positions. My next picks will have the Flex player in it (RB/WR/TE).

Roster so far:

QB: Carson Palmer
RB: Clinton Portis
RB: Jamal Lewis
WR: Terrell Owens
WR: Lee Evans
WR: Roy Williams
TE:
Flex:

[49erkezarguy]

I wou;dn't have taken Roy Williams with Martz gone and Detroit will run more this year.

[majesstik1]

I wou;dn't have taken Roy Williams with Martz gone and Detroit will run more this year.

I don't see where that devalues him by much. He's in a contract year, so playing well this season will be to his benefit (financially). And, with Johnson there, he won't see double teams often...Kitna is still a servicable QB, and DET should be playing from behind often. He's my #3WR...I could have done much worse ;)

No argument here, just a difference of opinion on the pick. I just happen to like Evans a tad more but who knows...? I'm still waiting for my fantasy draft to begin soon and I'll have up to 12 hours between picks as I told you and I'd like to post here also and hear differing opinions by you guys on my draft as I'll listen to all the help I can get. I hope to get input BEFORE I make certain picks. Guys like you and Ace Matherton and some others here I place a great deal of credence in your knowledge. You guys are really good! I'd like to contribute to others also if I can in any way since I'm sure we're all in different leagues. If anyone wants to inbox me personally I'll promise to get back to you if you prefer that method. Good luck to us all!!!

I sure wouldn't go TE, K, or DEF for a long while. I wish I knew what the other owners were doing and who's still available but off the top I'd probably go RB here and possibly taking QB David Garrard if he's available on the next round and maybe pick up a 3rd QB a little later for trade purposes. Just my thoughts.

[majesstik1]

Here's what I finished the draft with. I'm still looking to make some trades, and obviously, I'll pick up a kicker before the season starts.

QB: Carson Palmer | Marc Bulger | Jason Campbell
RB: Clinton Portis | Ladell Betts
RB: Jamal Lewis | Reshard Mendenhall | Ray Rice
WR: Terrell Owens | Vincent Jackson
WR: Lee Evans | Sidney RIce | Mark Clayton
WR: Roy Williams | Steve Smith (NY) | Kevin Walter
TE: Dallas Clark | Marcedes Lewis
Flex: Chris Cooley
K: none
DEF: Carolina Panthers

Hey Maj! Got a trade question for you. This seems like a no brainer but I'm reluctant to pull the trigger. I've been going back and forth with a guy in a yahoo, 10 team, league and the current offer is:

Tony Romo for Brian Westbrook

This is my team:

Romo
Tomlinson
Lewis
Edwards
Ward
Driver (trade accepted and pending for Evans)
Gates

Graham

Seattle D

Bench:
Garrard
Johnson (Rudi)
Mason
Rice
Watson

Ravens D (waiver pending for Selvin Young)

If anyone has an opinion it would be appreciated. You don't have to be Maj. Warner and Favre are both available to fill my back-up spot behind Garrard if I pull the trigger... what do you guys think?

[49erkezarguy]

Personally, I'd take Westbrook for Romo in a heartbeat. There'll be other starting QB's to back up Garrard later.

Trade accepted and pending.

I'm feelin' the same way. It seems like such a no brainer. I just needed a shove.

I just double checked on this guys running back depth, and he's not real solid behind Westbrook. Looks like I might be able to work another trade to secure my QB position. With LT, Westbrook, Young and Rudi... what do you guys think about a Jamal Lewis for Hasselbeck trade? Should I even consider it or should I just roll with Garrard and who ever I can find for patch work?

I'd do that before he comes to his senses.

But, I'd avoid Favre and Warner. What other starting QBs are available? Campbell, Edwards, Jackson, and Smith all offer potential high pay-offs at discount prices. I really like Campbell this year in the offense he ran in college that got him drafted in the first round, and all reports I've seen from WAS camp says he really grasping the offense, and has been looking great.

Favre is more of a risk, because if he doesn't get what he wants, he'll stay retired. Warner is still the #2 in ARI, but could play in high pressure situations off the bench again like he did last year.

[majesstik1]

See if you can get him to add something to the deal. Lewis is being drafted 1-2 rounds ahead of Hasselbeck, so you should be able to squeeze and extra player out of that owner in that trade.

Of the ones you listed, Jackson and Smith are available. Garcia, Leinart, Pennigton and Russell are also floating around...

Also, what do you think of the Driver for Evans trade?

I think Westbrook is one of the absolute best RBs in the league. He's what I hope Gore can be.

But, when doing a trade, look at the amount of upgrade versus the amount of loss. You drop from Romo to Garrard and jump from Jamal Lewis to Westbrook.

Personally, I think you lose more than you gain. Especially so when you consider that Westbrook is at his very best when McNabb is healthy, which as we know is always up in the air. In addition, you have to make sure that HE stays healthy.

I'm a big Garrard fan, but I think with Romo you average one TD more a game. Jamal Lewis only had one fewer TD last year than Westbrook.

Of course, it all depends on the scoring in your league. If it's 4 points per passing TD versus 6, maybe it's worth a shot. It's definitely a gamble, and I think in fantasy, you want to go for consistency rather than having one week where you blow out your opponent.

That is how it scores... also I could trade Lewis for either a better no.1/no.2 WR to go with Edwards, or a better QB...

IMO Westbrook is way more consistant than Romo.

I accepted the trade.

[Nick_Russell]

See if you can get him to add something to the deal. Lewis is being drafted 1-2 rounds ahead of Hasselbeck, so you should be able to squeeze and extra player out of that owner in that trade.

What do you think of a Jamal Lewis for Hasselback and Holmes trade? His other starting WR's are Welker and Smith (CAR), but I don't think he'd go for that.

[majesstik1]

Of the ones you listed, Jackson and Smith are available. Garcia, Leinart, Pennigton and Russell are also floating around...

Trade is pending BTW... just waiting for it to go through.

Also, what do you think of the Driver for Evans trade?

Pick up Leinart, even if you don't get the Hasselbeck trade to work...in fact, you could include him in that trade. Offer him Leinart and Lewis for Hasselbeck, and a #1/2WR. If you tell me his roster, maybe I could make a more definitive suggestion.

If you're the getting Evans, I'd do it. He has really high upside. He's inconsistent as hell, but when he has a good game, it's huge. He should remain your #2/3WR. Positives for Evans are he's playing for a new contract, and he faces MIA, NYJ, and NE's secondaries 6 times total, plus he sees STL, CLE, and KC, so that's 9 games of quality production you should be able to count on...and, for FF playoffs, he sees MIA and NYJ, but he plays DEN in the FF Super Bowl.

[majesstik1]

What do you think of a Jamal Lewis for Hasselback and Holmes trade? His other starting WR's are Welker and Smith (CAR), but I don't think he'd go for that.

I don't see any big upgrade from Garrard to Hasselbeck. I know Hasselbeck benefited from like a 70% passing offense, but credit that to Shaun Alexander's ineptitude. Garrard had a solid year with a 6:1 TD:INT ratio in 12 games.

I do like Santonio Holmes and I think he's a WR2 with a lot of upside.

I am the one getting Evans. Trade is already pending. Just wanted to know what you thought.

Here is the other guys team:

Hasselbeck
Smith (CAR)
Welker
Holmes
Westbrook
McGahee

Brown
Scobee

Bench:
Cutler

Brown

The trade for Hasselbeck would be to solidify my QB position. I'd play the match-ups rather than start one consistantly. If this trade goes through, I'd have Garrard then no one to back him up... that's why I'm lookin' at trading Lewis for Hasselbeck. I like Holmes too. This whole debacle started out as me offering Ward for Holmes... don't ask me how it got to a Romo for Westbrook trade...

He's obviously not confident in Hasselbeck if he's willing to part with a guy who hold top 5 FF value for a second tier QB. It also seems to point to his confidence in his other RBs. The Jackson under Cutler and above Brown, is that Steven, Brandon, who? That could be useful information in order for me to give you a better idea.

Sorry... that's Darrell Jackson, and to clarify, Reggie Brown. I listed it in the same order as the starters... :

QB
WR
WR
RB
TE

[Nick_Russell]

Did he reveal any information on how he values some of his players? and some of yours?

Not really... nothing has been said. The back n' forth trade offers look like this:

Me: Ward for Holmes ... rejected
Him: Lewis for Holmes ... rejected
Me: Lewis/Ward for Westbrook ... rejected
Him: Romo for Westbrook ... accepted

So, if you can make anything out of that... the only value I think he sees is obviously in Romo and a little in Lewis... so I think I could pull off the Lewis for Hasselbeck and Holmes trade. Though he already tried a Lewis for Holmes staight up, that was when he still had Westbrook... now he doesn't have much at RB so...

[majesstik1]

Sorry... that's Darrell Jackson, and to clarify, Reggie Brown. I listed it in the same order as the starters... :

I'd offer him Jamal Lewis for Hasselbeck + Jonathan Stewart and see what he says.

You might be able to up the deal to Lewis + Rudi for Hasselbeck + Stewart + Welker if you're persuasive enough.

[Nick_Russell]

Thanks for all your insight.

I'll quick throw him another trade. I'll see what he says to the Lewis for Hasselbeck and Stewart idea. But I gotta roll outta here...

I'll let you know how it all pans out.

[beasley for pres]

yo Maj, I'm in this keeper league and there is a team with Addai, Ronnie Brown, Matt Forte, and Kevin Smith. How would I go about ripping this team off for one of them?

[49erkezarguy]

I'd forget the Hasselbeck trade altogether and probably just take Garcia personally.

[Nick_Russell]

You guys wouldn't believe my luck. With Favre arriving in Green Bay over the weekend one of the teams just dropped Marc Bulger and added Favre. Can't say that I blame them, at the same time I am elated to get Bulger for free.

I withdrew my Lewis for Hasselbeck/Stewart trade. Now I'm looking to deal Lewis for another big time WR. I'll keep you updated. This is how my team looks after all the pending trades have been finalized.

Starting:
David Garrard
Braylon Edwards
Hines Ward
Lee Evans
LaDainian Tomlinson
Brian Westbrook
Antonio Gates

Shayne Graham

Seattle D

Bench:
Derrick Mason
Sidney Rice
Jamal Lewis
Rudi Johnson
Selvin Young
Benjamin Watson

Waiver pending - Add Bulger/Drop Watson

...and I'm trying to work a trade for TO. The guy that has him is thin at RB with some serious question marks. Here are his backs:

Matt Forte
Edgerrin James
Chester Taylor

I started out with Jamal Lewis/Sidney Rice for Owens to see if he'd bite, but I am prepared to put up a little more if he dosen't take the first offer.

[Nick_Russell]

I'm sure you guys are getting sick of hearing from me, but I'm super excited about this fantasy team. Here's the latest:

I cancelled the Lewis/Rice for Owens trade. I decided to hold on to Watson because he will serve as a good back-up to Gates. Instead I dropped Rice to pick up Bulger. That is pending until Wednesday. As for Owens, I offered Lewis/Mason for Owens instead and the trade has been accepted and is pending. I have some ideas for the available roster spot... looking to use it as a week-by-week fill-a-need position... need for week 1 is Defense so probably going to grab a defense going up against a weak offense (NY Jets look like a possibility vs. MIA).

Here is my current team once the trade/waiver goes through:

Starters
David Garrard
Terrell Owens
Braylon Edwards
Hines Ward
LaDainian Tomlinson
Brian Westbrook
Antonio Gates

Shayne Graham

Seattle D

Bench
Marc Bulger
Lee Evans (will be frequantly flip-flopping with whoever has a worse match-up)
Selvin Young
Rudi Johnson
Ben Watson
<open>

[Ace Matherton]

I would not automatically offer a WR with Lewis, that tells the owner you REALLY want to move him. he alone should fetch you an upgrade at WR2.
Start the talks with lewis only then bargain to include a WR.

Point taken... was mainly conversing with Majesstik1 and asking his advice, not trying to steal his thread.

my thread was well over. my draft is done, and I'm on to the stage you are: roster maneuvering. Sounds like you got a good plan in place...take Ace's advice with the Lewis thing. I think I might have over traded when I dealt him in order to acquire a WR I value too high (Steve Smith).

I would probably look to upgrade over Ben Watson still. He's often injured. Look for a guy like Marcedes Lewis to pick up where he left off towards the end of last season, as Garrard's favorite target. Or a Donald Lee, Favre loves throwing to him.

[SBbound49ers]

Poll is closed. :telephone:

I say Stewart. Brown is coming off an injury with an offense with no WRs, no TE, and no QB. Stewart, wont be worked too hard with Williams the COP guy and 3 solid wideouts. Its obvious he'll be the goal line back.

[beasley for pres]

oh if anyone's interested, my friend who is a Dolphin's fan has said that all of the fish's QB's are looking terrible.


so round about way draft Ricky Williams

[beasley for pres]

you'd need to have good players on your team to trade for them

forgot to comment on this before, but ouch

Marcedes and Lee both are not available. Here is who's available at TE:

Scheffler
Smith (Phi)
McMichael
Pope
Smith (TB)
Boss

Obviously there are a few more but these are the noteable ones... Boss could obviously be good. Keep in mind this is just for my back-up TE, Watson is risky, but he could pack a big reward starting for the Patriots... This list just doesn't seem that much better than Watson to me. Maybe I'm missing something???

As for the Owens trade, the Lewis/Mason deal was already accepted. It's too late for me to change it up. I possibly over traded, but I'm still happy with the deal. I have 4 strong receivers to switch around as needed. Though, not much depth in case of injuries... that's the bad part.

...and I'm happy with my backs.

You'll be fine with that deal. Mason is a throw away player IMO.

At TE, I'd drop Watson for Scheffler. He's Cutler's favorite target, and has great hands and athleticism. And with Marshall out the first couple of games, he should get off to a hot start, and no longer be on the waiver wire.

[Ace Matherton]

Dude grab Sheffler, work a deal to another owner who needs a TE for an upgrade at WR then pick up Boss as your backup.

Dont worry about over trading, it happens just make sure to protect yourself when it happens with a backup plan.
