im starting Ramse Barden tonight lol. Nicks and Hixon out, Bradshaw out, its Aaron Brown backfield Victor Cruz #1 and Barden #2.. and I'm guessing Cruz is gonna get double teamed so Bennett (TE) or Barden is gonna have a bigg day, so why not take the risk lol.

My team (main team) is the definition of injuries

Freddy Jackson - out
Matt Forte - out
Antonio Gates - out

I took Gates/Tony G so im content at TE. but man it sucks having Pierre Thomas/Darren Sproles as ur 2 backs

i just made my first trade of the year:

Benson, Reggie Wayne and Tony G (only Tony G was a starter)
for
Gronkowski and Toby G.

my current roster:

qb - Cam
rb - McCoy, Peterson, Spiller, Fr. Jackson, Gerhart, J. Stewart
wr - Harvin, Colston, De. Jackson, Britt, Boldin
te -- Gronk, Pitta
k -- Hartley
def -- Lions

debating on whether i want to deal Spiller and Jackson for a more secure back. i love the upside of Spiller but don't want to get into the split backfield situation when Jackson gets back. my heart says Spiller is running away with the job and he's too good to trade but my head says i should get a steady guy in that spot since the rest of my team is good anyways.

i usually hate my team, but this year i have all guys i like watching play so win or lose its fun

I read the players in the trade and wasn't a huge fan of it, then I saw your roster and it's definitely a great deal. Good trade.

I'd move Fred / CJ if possible. Not a fan of that situation.

no hernandez will take one of the TEs off the field who is messing with his playing time so i think that helps a lot.

I will admit I have Welker on one team and should have him on two if i didn't take Jimmy Graham 2nd round (dumb), but I think the injury helps him a ton because they're still gonna double Gronk and now Wes can play like Gonzalez for a little while and hopefully get in a groove

bump cause BOTH of them had big days lol. I put Barden the BEAST in, 22 points or something ridiculous, gonna cruise to 3-0.

Graham isn't a TE. he's a 85+ catch 1000 yard 10 td guy.

thats basically starting a top WR at a spot where most get 2/3 that production.

unless of course you think Graham isn't that good, then its up for debate.

obviously at this point i'm happy with what i did, but in the draft I'll admit I wasn't.

the Pats are just so weird with their personnel and nothing seems to get out to the media so we have no clue what's going down

would love some thoughts...

Pick 3 of 5: Welker, Amendola, Bowe, Stevie Johnson, Malcolm Floyd

-I have Welker, Bowe & Stevie right now with part of me wanting Floyd in over Welker but I don't like Floyd having to face Dunta Robinson/Asante Samuel

In another league I have an absolute disaster at RB and a debate at WR

Pick 2 or 3: Moreno, Leshoure, Gerhart, Redman, Greene, Donald Brown
Pick 2 or 3: Welker, AJ Green, Amendola, Floyd

-Right now I have Greene & Brown basically by default, First three WRs starting in 2 WR spots and at the RB/WR flex. Team's a disaster besides Brees in a 6-point passing TD league

FML. How is it possible for R. Rice, M. LeShoure, J. Jones, Harvin, Graham, and Seattle's defense to all have a bad week at the same f'ing time....
