Imagine having Vernon Davis on your team last week and you are watching and watching and BOOM, BOOM BOOM, 3 tuddies in a row, scoreboard was lighting it up...

It was awesome
Does this paragraph mean Vernon Davis is doing porn these days?

Its easier to find a QB that produces like Favre, statistically, than it is to find a WR that perfoms like Fitzgerald. RB wise, I would take the philly combo over benson.

I picked up Vernon Davis off of waivers when Tony Gonzalez had a bye. Of course I had the mother*****r on the bench last week and played Gonzalez and he has 3 TDs.

I also picked up Benson off of waivers, I guess the people in the league I play in are retarded.

how does your league handle the uneven (3 for 2) trade?

doesn't that screw up the roster max?

fitz might be at the high end of the top 10 in the league this for wr's, guys like sidney rice and steve smith (nyg) are roasting, he could have easily got a nate buerlson off waiver wires in week 2 and could have out scored fitz at this point in the season.... you get a guy on a good offense who can string off 300+ yard games, thats a keeper.... but he (scavs) had brees on the bench so all of this is pointless

more details upfront next time you want my opinion tom, i wanna see your whole roster and who you're playing next week before i vote on any more of your polls

plus league scoring format. and keeper rules (if any).

but the big one is your roster. i traded heath miller for mark sanchez and know without any doubt it was a good trade for me. despite the fact all i got was mark sanchez for heath miller.

I'm the biggest Favre hater on the planet and you have to take Favre/Benson. The Vikes have gone into official loco mode letting Favre throw 51 times a game while running the best player in football less than 20 times. Benson is an absolute stud and I'm pissed I traded him in my one league two weeks ago for Ochocinco cause I thought I was set with Westbrook and Ryan Grant and I already had Benson in my other league and hated doubling down. Westbrook/McCoy will drive you completely insane, you'll never know who is going to start and you'll never know who is going to finish. With Benson you know who is going to start and finish and I'm sure his backup is available on waivers to cover you in an injury.

You can start 3 RB's in this league
Roster Pre-Trade
Brees/Favre
Jacobs/Benson/Felix Jones/Bernard Scott
Ochocinco/SimsWalker/Maclin/E. Bennett/Meachem
V. Davis/Kellen Davis
Crosby
Steelers/49ers

Roster After Trade goes through
Brees
Jacobs/Westbrook/McCoy/Felix Jones
Fitz/Ochocinco/SimsWalker/Maclin/E.Bennett/Meachem
V.Davis
Crosby
Steelers/49ers/Detriot

Before you guys say anything about the Roster, it is a 14 team league so the waiver wire is bare, Kellen Davis is on my team as a bye week replacement and I am dropping him his week for Detroit's D because Pitt is on bye and 49ers are against Indy.

Within the trade, I am really planning on Benson shitting the bed, and his schedule isn't very easy either. PLUS, and this is kinda important, he has a bye this week, so I couldn't use him this week anyways, where I am essentially getting two players I can USE this week.

Further more, we don't have playoffs, so I am going to start getting ready for Week 16 and 17, after this week I am going to drop Meachem, Lions, 49ers and pick up Sorgi, Brunell, and Matt Moore

I'm even better set up for next year as I will get to choose between these players as my 15th and 16th round picks for next year

Maclin, Jeremy WR PHI
Bennett, Earl WR CHI
McCoy, LeShon RB PHI
Davis, Vernon TE SF
Crosby, Mason K GB

Probably Maclin and Davis...In a 14 team league next year, those two will go 4th or 5th round probably

I hope for your sake that Fitzgerald has an amazing second half cause otherwise you are in big trouble. With Westbrook's concussion I see him splitting carries the rest of the year leading you to a frustrating decision every week. Meanwhile, Benson is a sure play every week. A sure RB is always worth more than sure WR.

You don't think teams are going to start stacking the box on him, I sure as hell do. I can start 3RB's and probably will if they will split carries....

Palmer has done well enough that I don't think stacking the box is a great option. To be perfectly honest in a 14 team league I might think about grabbing Scott again in case Benson gets injured. Then you get the perfect scenario.
