  2. Ladd,
    My RBs are Turner, Foster, Blount, Ronnie B, and Felix. I am thinking of dropping Ronnie and picking up S. Greene. Choice is also out there as is Ivory and Julius.

    On the tight end front, I have Keller, should I drop Celek as he has done nothing or hang on one more week to see if Vick will throw to him? Hernandez, Winslow, Owen D, B. Watson, Moeaki, adn Gresham are also available in free agency.

    Appreciate your thoughts.

  3. I have been offered deangelo Williams for one of the following : p. garcon or steve smith (ny). My other receivers are fitz, roddy white, vincent Jackson, and steve Johnson. I know Williams has been down this year, but my #2 running backs are Brandon Jackson, felix jones, and Brandon Jacobs. Is it worth the gamble taking a chance on Williams for a receiver that I might not need to use? (the one other caveat is that I could keep Williams for an 8th round pick next year)

    Also, I have been offered beanie wells for v. Jackson straight up (Jackson would be a 8th round pick next year in our keeper league, so pretty good value no matter where he ends up playing)

    Would I be better off going with the Williams deal, the wells deal, or standing pat. (I have pierre Thomas on the IR)

    Thanks!

  5. Craig,

    As an owner of both Ronnie B and Shonn, I can assure you that replacing one with the other will not bring you any satisfaction. I'd stick with Ronnie for now, since he's the starter, unless and until LT gets hurt.

    As for Celek, yeah, I'd wait a week. If Vick doesn't find him often, go with Hernandez (who's dinged up now anyway).

  6. Jason,

    Tough call, but I'd probably opt for the Beanie deal, since VJax will be worthless until Week 12. No telling when or if DeAngelo will get it together. Hard to give up the VJax keeper value, but I'm all about playing to win now, and that, to me, is a move worth making.

  7. Thanks ladd,

    I forgot to mention benie has 6th round value next year, so it makes him a little more valuable as well.

  8. Ladd,
    I also have F Jones, Best, D. Brown, & McFadden on another non ppr league and need to decide who to start with McFadden. I could also pick up Choice. I'm leary of Best with the timeshare and Felix's injury. And Donald might be the best if Hart does not play, Thoughts?

    Tolbert, T.Jones, or Green Ellis.
