I take it the new players are all signed up with NFL.COM and ready to go?

Anyone got any predictions for the season? I'll go first,

I predict that Haymaker is totally Donald Ducked

I had a worse team last season DH and if my memory is correct... Did I not pump you both times?

Oh, my RB options are poor... I had the same as last year and... Mmm... Think I pumped you?!

You can trade players and grab players off the waiver wire all the way through to week X (up to the playoffs, I think).

If a player is a free agent and if you're too of the waiver wire then you can get him for nothing. If other players (meaning, us, not nfl players) are above you on the waiver wire then they get first dibs. Trades happen between two teams and have to :
1) be agreeable to both players,
2) be agreed upon by all other players in the league - to prevent unfair trades happening.

cheers but not got a clue what you mean

I was looking to see if anyone was amenable to a trade with for a WR with a RB but I notice there are only really 2 of us who have any real depth at RB.

FAs and waivers don't exactly get the juices going either TBH!

I actually fancy Ayrshire to do quite well this year - he's picked well and has some decent depth to his squad

So can I just bin my injured player and select a fit player, or do I have to wait?

I don't think theres anything from stopping you, a couple of people have already been dipping into the free agents.

What's confusing about it? You're being offered a trade by another player - go to your page and either accept/decline it.

I'm not being a smart-ass, I'm just genuinely not sure what's confusing about it?

The email is crystal clear in what's happening and what you need to do?

***Sylar*** · 20-08-2013 04:06 PM

Incidentally, NOLA, could you set your team up already - I want to see which RBs I might be able to tempt away from you for a decent QB

***H18sry*** · 20-08-2013 04:17 PM

I didn't know you were allowed to trade players, I noticed you have traded with players on the open market, how do you do that as I want shot of an injured player and can't find out how to do it

When you're looking at your team, along the scroll-bar at the top are a lot of options - click on either "Add" (which has all of the free agents) or "Trade" (and then set the filter to "all available", thus showing you the better players who are available on waivers (which is like a priority list, so the worst team gets first dibs)).

Vick has had a good preseason and has just been named Eagles starter in a new pass friendly offense...id keep him if I were you.

didnt take long for someone to post that

***Sylar*** · 21-08-2013 10:23 AM

The depth of available RBs on either Waiver or FA is truly depressing...

**HibsMax** · 21-08-2013 07:42 PM

Plenty of kickers though. ;)

***Sylar*** · 22-08-2013 03:55 PM

Quite surprised I just picked up Mark Ingram on a free transfer? He's obviously not a starter but as a backup, he's probably worth about 120 points per season as he gets most of NOs goalmouth action!

Are you drunk Haymaker?! Ingram for Mikel Leshoure?!

To be honest, I didnt rate ingram last year and I doubt he will get numbers. Leshoure is just a body at the mo.

You interested in a running back? Your situation looks pretty dire. If you're desperate I'd be willing to package something in exchange for Gronkowski. He's pretty useless up until October and I'll throw in Bennett if you're not comfortable with one tight end.

Charles and McCoy are obviously going nowhere. Murray would require a bit of negotiating but the rest are all up for discussion.

**HibsMax** · 22-08-2013 06:04 PM

Ben Tate and Pierre Thomas and Andre Brown are looking like decent backups. :)

That's probably how the Lions view him too! Major injury problems the past few years and won't get much of a sniff in a pass-happy offense where Reggie Bush will get the majority of the runs.
