Hey I'm having a tough time picking through my WRs, who would you start:
-D. Driver
-Roy E. Williams
-Eddie Royal
-Brandon Lloyd
-Jocoby Jones
-Michael Crabtree

It's a 2 RB, 2 WR, and a flex league. Do I use three of my WRs or stick with A.P, L.T, And J. Charles? Thanks much.

Good call on backing up Warner. I'd trade Collie for Orton. And I don't think the other options are close.

Hey Jerod,

Ok, my week 8 question…Well I have a couple.

1st I feel like I need to backup Kurt Warner. I have 3 options

1. Trade Austin Collie for Kyle Orten. (Just picked up Anthony Gonzalez)
2. Trade Colston for Matt Ryan and Anquan Boldin
3. Drop Lance Moore and pick up Alex Smith on waivers.

My Receivers are; Jennings, Colston, Sims-Walker, Austin Collie, Lance Moore and I just picked up Anthony Gonzalez.

I guess thats just one question :)

Thanks
Ed

Ed, as you probably know, last week I defended Brandon Jacobs over Ahmad Bradshaw and as a must-start based on the amount of carries he's been getting. Then, on Sunday morning, reports come out that Jacobs is planning to change his running style (more cutting) despite the objections of his coaches. And then he only gets 7 carries in the Giants-Saints game (although he did average 4.7 yards per carry).

Still, I'm not sure I can start Felix Jones over him. I really like Jones, but he hasn't played in a while and I'd rather take a wait-and-see approach with him. Atlanta did a nice job of bottling up Matt Forte on Sunday. Even though Arizona has the #1 ranked run defense in the league right now, I think the Giants will try to pound the ball and control the clock to keep it out of Kurt Warner's hands. That plays right into Jacobs' strengths, and call me crazy, but I still think he can end up with double-digit TDs on the season.

It would be hard for me to sit Felix, but I'd do it for Jacobs this week.

Hey Jerod, so far you have been dead on!!! Turner 2 weeks ago! Trading for Colston!

So here is this weeks question. I just traded 2 bench players for Felix Jones….Should I start him over Brandon Jacobs in Week 7? They say Jones is ready to go this week. I know its still early but just wanted to see what you thought.

Thanks,
Ed

NO way would I do that. Fitz and MJD are the two best players in the deal. Say no Chris!

RB: Turner and Bradshaw, no doubt for me

WR – Smith, Ochocino (more risk associated with Edwards and I'd prefer to see him perform and, you know, not drop everything before I play him over two studs)

Hey man – definitely liking your opinions here – but each pairing of players is different, so for some advice:

pick 2 RB
Michael Turner – tough D, hasn't performed for me yet
Tashard Choice – no felix jones, but 2nd to barber
Ahmad Bradshaw – sharing with jacobs, but could break some bigness against oakland
Derrick Ward – booooo

pick 2 WR
Steve Smith – Carolina, been double covered but has to show up sometime
Chad Ochocinco – so much potential, used it last week scoring – 2x gotta have him
Braylon Edwards – new team, new playbook, but projected to do just as well as the poor performing smith

thanks for the input man!

Is it a PPR league? If so, I like Hightower (great matchup v Houston) and would probably throw Julius Jones out there against J-Ville's porous D. Portis and Jackson are obviously more talented, but both are struggling, on offenses that are in disarray, and have bad matchups. If it's not a PPR league, I'd go Jones/Portis.

For the record, I hate Julius Jones, but he plays much better at home than on the road.

I'd sit Manningham. He is still relatively inconsistent (only one catch last week) and Oakland is actually halfway decent against the pass. I think the Giants ride Jacobs and Bradshaw all day long and don't put much pressure on Manning to perform with his injured foot.

Walter should be the beneficiary of a shootout in the Houston-Arizona game, Hines Ward is due for a TD and playing Detroit, and Dwayne Bowe is the only option on offense for KC, and goes against a suspect Broncos secondary.
