Shame no games made it onto ESPN America this evening. However, I fully understand the reason why. Roll on 11pm and let's go Tigers :thumbsup:
The Penn St game was on earlier they beat northwestern

[Haymaker]

Ahem, this is the Fantasy League thread gentlemen. No College talk! :rules:

Ahem, this is the Fantasy League thread gentlemen. No College talk! :rules:

You're dismantling me this week:rolleyes:

[NOLA]

wish i could have Bradshaw back :rolleyes: thought his neck injury was more serious than it obviously was/is so i dumped him expecting the radge to be out for weeks :grr::greengrin

[Sylar]

San Francisco defense come up big again this week. Was almost tempted to put Alex Smith back in as QB this week but elected not to - kicking myself now, as I'm only 7 points ahead of Gatecrasher with both of us having one player each to play tomorrow night.

[Sylar]

Back to back wins - I feel faint :thumbsup:

[Sylar]

Is anyone out there in need of a good QB? After his stellar outing last night, Alex Smith is up for grabs for a good RB.

[Sergio sledge]

I know. It's gonna be at least 50 points :tee hee:.

:tee hee: Oops.....

Who do you have playing tonight? I just have the Texans D, I'm going to stick up for my team and say if Finley and Amendola didn't get injured we would be winning :devil:

[HibsMax]

Looks like I squeaked through this week in much better shape than I expected. My team is done but I have about 40 point lead. Is Foster THAT good? I sure hope not. :-)

Some pretty disappointing low scores this week. The matchups looked pretty poor going into this week but I got a couple of byes out the way.

[Sylar]

I'm done with 126 points - 7 of an advantage just now.

I dare say the Texans will manage more than that this evening against the Jessies, although the 49ers kept the score against to 3 and only got 12 points. Couple of Jessie TDs and all should be right with the world (so long as Houston score a few more...).

[DH1875]

Ahem, this is the Fantasy League thread gentlemen. No College talk! :rules:

Buckeyes 63 Nebraska 38. Nothings gonna stop us now :na na:.


:tee hee: Oops.....

And there endeth the lesson. Don't take any notice of projections. My lowest score so far :confused:.

[Haymaker]

You're dismantling me this week:rolleyes:

Havent you got a Texan who plays tonight? If he scores big I am doomed.

[hibsbollah]

I have the fabulous Andre Johnson. But he'll need something like 200 yards receiving and 3 tds to catch you up so I think youre safe :greengrin

I would be happy to see Foster being under utilized. :-)

[hibsbollah]

Ryan Williams is out for the rest of the season..if anyone wants to trade me a running back for one of my guys or the league-leading cardinals d, make me an offer...

Even Foster can't save me now. You've well and truley beat me this week, got nothing from my WRs or RBs this week. Still rate my team but 1-4 suggests otherwise.

[HibsMax]

I wish we decided to use our Hibs net usernames for team names, I can never remember who is who. :-)

Is there anyone currently unavailable that interests you? I doubt any of the RBs that I would let go would interest you. I'm still waiting to see how Leshoure pans out so I don't even know his value / potential. Other than that there's BJGE and I kinda like him.

So who are you after? That might be easier than people offering you players you don't like.

Edit : you have a trade proposal...

I keep checking the draft list :greengrin

I see the texans D came through for me

Lost by less than a point in the end. Considering my kicker wasn't playing this week, I'm pretty happy with how my team stood up :greengrin

I wont be letting Megatron go, so ive rejected your trade. I'll have another look later...

Edit..OK sent you a counter offer, I see you have the ropey new england D, I can offer you an improvement on that for Leshoure, would also consider my other D or one of my TEs.

You have a trade proposal hopefully not as cheeky as the last one.....

I suffered 2 injuries to decent players and still won :devil: but the NFl predictions had you as the winner.

After losing 3 in a row i'm glad to have won :jmcp:

Hernandez should be back this week. :-).

[Haymaker]

Big crunch game between me and Scott this week... It is on! :cb

[Sergio sledge]

Hernandez should be back this week. :-).

I thought he was due to be out for another couple of weeks, so that's a no then? :greengrin:

[HibsMax]

I thought he was due to be out for another couple of weeks, so that's a no then? :greengrin:

There was a very slight chance that he would be back for the Denver game but that was most likely BB playing games and making sure the Broncos "wasted" time prepping for Hernandez being back in action. I have Martellus Bennett as well so I don't really need Gates.....unless I can come up with some trade proposal that involves you taking Bennett off my hands?

EDIT : I submitted a counter offer for you to take a look at....

Sorry White, Brees, Gore and Turner have carried my team so far (they need a lot of carrying) so i'm not prepared to let White go!

[HibsMax]

No worries, it was a long-shot. I figured I would try and get something out of the trade myself. I think my team is pretty balanced but I do have a group of WRs that are all bundled around the same point in terms of rankings, was hoping to make an upgrade there if I could.

[HibsMax]

Sorry White, Brees, Gore and Turner have carried my team so far (they need a lot of carrying) so i'm not prepared to let White go!

Trying again (another offer on the table) although I might actually be trying to make a trade just for the sake of it....I can't help tinkering!

EDIT : Removed the trade proposal. I think I am over-tinkering. :-)

[NOLA]

got a few players on bye week so might delve into the waivers again and play the matchups

[Sylar]

I delved into waivers this week and picked up Andre Brown (RB - NYG) whilst dropping Chris Johnson (RB - Tennessee).

Johnson was hotly tipped before the season and had an outstanding pre-season but has been deplorable thus far this year. Anyone taking a gamble, good luck!

I will pick him up later this week if best isn't cleared to return, better to have someone who can run over someone not allowed to :)

[HibsMax]

Why is Johnson on waivers till October 17th? That means nobody can get him for this week. I thought the waiver period was just two days?

EDIT : Removed the trade proposal. I think I am over-tinkering. :-)

I probably would have accepted it, it seemed quite tempting. picked up 2 players on waivers who should be good enough for next week, so should be ok for next week which is my bad one for bye's, so I'm going to stick with what I've got at the minute.

[HibsMax]

Usually on the friday, he on a bye?

Nope. Seems like he's up against PIT this week. Weird.

EDIT : OK, so it must be to do with him playing TONIGHT. That kinda sucks. If someone wanted him after he was dropped they wouldn't be able to play him this week. That seems a little odd and potentially a way of dropping a player while making sure nobody else can pick him up.

[Haymaker]

It is time... For Andrew Luck to step in for my team. Risking it all on a ***** Jets D. :agree:

[NOLA]

its a close week for scores, i think my matchup with the loch ness monsters will come down to monday nights game :worried:

[Haymaker]

Thanking the Giants D for keeping me in this week!

[Calvin]

Left enough points to sink a ship on my bench this week. Poor management. I'll need Jordy Nelson to play like he did last season and Arian Foster to leave the game in Q1 to have any chance now!

[Calvin]

Well wouldn't you know it, Jordy Nelson finally justifies why I drafted him so early.

[Sergio sledge]

its a close week for scores, i think my matchup with the loch ness monsters will come down to monday nights game :worried:

Nope, Schaub, Turner and Gore all had shockers so my low scoring continues.

This week and next week are my worst weeks for bye's, so hopefully after that I can get back to winning ways.

[James.]

I. am. disgusted. :bitchy:

Went to bed thinking that it was in the bag with only Foster v Nelson left.
I'm now sitting the same record as the Cleveland ******ing Browns.

:offski:

Just couldn't have seen it after Nelson's ridiculous 2.90 last week!

[Gatecrasher]

Ahmad Bradshaw 18 points against a team that is good against the run then Rodgers gets 39 points!

[HibsMax]

Poor week for me. Didn't even leave many points on the bench so at least I have the comfort of knowing I couldn't have won either way. :-)

[Haymaker]

Ryan Matthews stands between me and 4-2 for the season tonight...

[Gatecrasher]

Ray Lewis out for the season with a torn ACL :(

[HibsMax]

Ray Lewis out for the season with a torn ACL :(

Torn triceps, but the end result is still the same. Some talking about this being the end of his career. :(

@Lupo / WHODATTERS - you're pretty thin at the RB position (Murray and Best out) so I proposed a trade for you. Let me know if you're interested. I know that I'm asking for your bread and butter and neither of the RBs I'm offering are of the same calibre BUT they are both starting RBs with little / no competition so perhaps there is some interest there.

[Sylar]

Whoever faces me in the next 2 weeks has pretty much a guaranteed win!

I'm getting married on Friday and will be otherwise busy until the following Monday, thus missing 2 weeks (as the laptop is NOT coming with me) so any injuries or bye-weeks can't really be dealt with!

Is there nobody you can trust to take care of your lineup while your out of commission? I would do it for you and I wouldn't deliberately field a poor team. I wouldn't make any trades or drops, just pick the team from the players you have. You can set your lineups for future weeks now which takes care of bye weeks but not injuries.

Enough with the excuses. Your just running scared that we are gonna kick your asses at the weekend :greengrin.

[DH1875]

Told you all at the start but seriously, how crap am I at this game :greengrin.

I just looked at the transaction history...you haven't made any changes to your team in 6 weeks. Is that because you're so comfortable with your draft or.....?

EDIT : OUCH!!! 6 players on a bye this week for ya! Your team pretty much picked itself this week. Time to get onto the waiver wire or start proposing trades, although it might be a little late for this week.

We do have a weak secondary so there should be options to score. I don't expect you to run the ball too well against us though. I'm looking forward to the game.

I am playing you this week and I just checked your team. It picks itself. On your bench you have Ogletree, two QBs and players on their bye week. Your starting QB is Tom Brady against the Jets so I doubt you will change that. That leaves Ogletree but your starting WRs seem good enough to me. I would say you're all set for this week unless you look into making changes (trades and / or drops).

EDIT : Rewind. You might be short at RB if Brown misses week 7 as well.

thanks for the trade proposal but Rice IS the ravens offense :greengrin though i do see the advantage of having those 2 starters for my stud in regards my weak RB options, i have to say nay, thank you anyway.

Well you got Felix so perhaps youre RB woes are not as bad now. I droppped BJGE so you can pick him up on waivers if you want him, and if you can beat the rush. ;-)

Keep the faith my man, keep the faith. The Jets plan all along was to hold him back until we come up to play them :thumbsup:.


TEBOW, TEBOW, TEBOW :not worth.

God, I hope so (watch this get flagged in the Blasphemy thread. :wink:). I'm putting all my points on New England in my Yahoo! Pro Pickem league this week.

In Tebow we trust.

[Haymaker]

Tebow... the man whose bubble was burst by the Pats last season and was roundly beaten in the play offs by... The Pats, is the hope the Jessies have? :confused:

Seriously though, may I be among the first to congratulate the happy couple and while I doubt he'll be reading it, ALL THE BEST :aok:.
Oh, and thanks for the invite :love ya!:.


Trust me, you won't be seeing much of Tebow in Foxborough!

Any interest in the trade proposal I just made?

[James.]

Any interest in the trade proposal I just made?

I'm willing to trade him but I'll be looking for a bit more (he's a top 15 RB with the starting job all to himself after all :wink:)

I'll send you a counter offer (with another counter offer added in to that as well if you're interested!)

I'll look out for your counter but if you look at the season stats so far you will see that Austin and Martin have almost the exact same points.

A.J. Green is the #1 WR this year, I can't give him up for Martin.

Martin is ranked #21 at the moment (according to NFL.com).

[HibsMax]

I don't know what happened to the trade but it disappeared. I was in the process of trying to come up with a counter offer but I couldn't figure one and clicked cancel - perhaps that killed the trade? Not sure. Are there any of my other non-#1 WRs that you might be interested in?

If you don't ask then you don't get I guess :greengrin

Can't see anyone that really would be an improvement on Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown if I'm honest. I've also picked up Jennings in the hope he'll get it together!

[HibsMax]

Want Big Ben and Austin for Martin and ?

[HibsMax]

I'll send a couple more trade proposals in a moment, once I get onto my computer. Hopefully you're still awake. :-)

OK, I sent you one more proposal, hopefully you like it. I'm not trying to steal the family silver.

I don't think we'll ever reach an agreement here mate! I'm set at QB with Stafford and I'll only give up one of my decent RBs for a bit of an upgrade at WR or TE.

[HibsMax]

I don't think we'll ever reach an agreement here mate! I'm set at QB with Stafford and I'll only give up one of my decent RBs for a bit of an upgrade at WR or TE.

I only want one RB. :) I asked for an RB and a WR but if you value Lloyd too much then I can see you not wanting to give him up.

Stafford seems a little lower down the rankings than Ben but I'm not going to twist your arm.

Martellus Bennett (TE) is also an option.

[Calvin]

Johnson was hotly tipped before the season and had an outstanding pre-season but has been deplorable thus far this year. Anyone taking a gamble, good luck!
I managed to pick him up and he has two touchdowns in the first quarter already!

Bad news is, he's on my bench.

More than half my team are playing in the Bears Lions game on Monday, so the Seahawk grudge match wont be decided until then :greengrin

RG3 having another good game so far...

I've only three guys playing so far (including my D) and already feel I'm out of it this weekend. Damn you Drew Brees :grr:

I hope I've got enough of a lead now, I had hoped for 50-60 points, so everything above that is a bonus! Typical that the week my team picks itself because a lot of my starters are on bye's my team goes and gets my 2nd highest score! Think I might be the reason I've been getting low scores!

I noticed that. To be fair, I can't see Cutler, Johnson, Marshall and Hanson scoring less than 50 points combined but I suppose anything can happen!

[HibsMax]

I managed to pick him up and he has two touchdowns in the first quarter already!

Bad news is, he's on my bench.

Damn you! I tried to get Johnson but when the waiver wire was reset I went from 4th to 8th and missed out!

[Haymaker]

Pretty impressed I got 107 points this week!

4 and 3 for the season now.

[DH1875]

I've come to the conclusion that my team sucks big time. Don't know what I was thinking drafting all this pile of kite.

[NOLA]

if no0ne wants him im gonna make a sneaky bid for Randall Cobb on the waiver wire :cb

[HibsMax]

I've come to the conclusion that my team sucks big time. Don't know what I was thinking drafting all this pile of kite.

It's tough when you have 6 guys on a bye week.

Not so sneaky when you tell everyone about it. ;)

Calvin, wanna swap one of your RBs for one of my receivers? (assuming you dont want my TE, who has been a good scorer so far)

[Calvin]

I was still pondering that swap, but I think I'm quite happy to have Vernon Davis at TE for the rest of the year (even though neither him or Rudolph caught a ball this week!)

I do have an embarrassment of riches at RB now but probably I'd be looking at Brandon Marshall from your team.

How about either of the Johnsons for Forte?

I've got Marshawn Lynch, CJ Spiller, Albert Morris and Chris Johnson.

How about Spiller for Andre Johnson given that both are on byes this week?

Sorry dude, I didn't see it in time:boo hoo:

[HibsMax]

I want to do a deal. Any deal, I don't care, I just like the idea of dealing. :-)

Players on my roster that are up for grabs are :
Josh Freeman
Stevan Ridley
Donnie Avery
Stevie Johnson
Kenny Britt
Daryl Richardson
Scott Chandler

I'm only interested in RB and WR so if any of those names sound attractive to you, let me know who you're willing to part with. I am looking to strengthen either my RB or WR, I realise I can't do both in one (balanced) trade and for that reason I see myself giving up a couple of players for one.

[James.]

Sorry dude, I didn't see it in time:boo hoo:

Gutter. Even though he's having a mare, I'd have loved to have taken a chance on Megatron.

33 points for Doug Martin last night. Glad I never traded that guy away:thumbsup:

I got Mike Williams :greengrin not that I really needed him, but gives me another option and I've lost patience with Antonio Gates. If I really need another tight end I could always used Williams in a trade at some point.

I truly admire your loyalty. :-). Loyalty, or Pats-blindness, is what prompted me to choose Ridley. And I'm glad I did. Even though NE keeps frigging messing around too much I still think he can deliver when I need him to.....week 16 against the Jaguars. But if Ridley wasn't a Patriot, I doubt I would have looked at him.

Loyalty.

Vernon Davis is on a bye this week ad it looks as if my backup, Coby Fleener, is going to be out for a fortnight so I've taken a punt on adding Anthony Fasano for this week to try and capitalise on the improving Dolphins offense.

I've got three WRs on DNP this week which is concerning me more than a little.

DNP all week or just one day? DNP can just be a rest day. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless there is a known injury and no practice all week.

[HibsMax]

Hey Guys.

Sorry if I come across as a douchebag (I can live with that) but when someone proposes a trade it would be nice if you could accept / reject it as soon as you can rather than just leaving it sitting out there. Trades take 48 hours to clear (subject to league approval) so getting a deal done by 1pm on a Friday is important if you want to play the players that you traded for. Rejecting a trade quickly gives people the opportunity to plan other trades if the proposed one is not to your liking. If you're not interested in making any trades at all then you can just list all your players as untouchable on the trading block screen. I know we're competing against one another but when it comes to trades we have to try and work together - if that make sense?

In the Hibs spirit - Let's Work Together (in our quest for total domination). :-D

[Sergio sledge]

Is there a trade deadline in the league after which we can't change our rosters? I'm fine without a backup QB just now, because I can pick someone up if brees gets injured however if I knew I couldn't change my roster after a certain point I'd be trying to get a decent backup before then.

[James.]

TRADE DEADLINEFor NFL-Managed Leagues, the deadline to complete all trades is Friday, November 23, 2012. All other transactions (add/drop, free agency and waivers) are still available to each team throughout the duration of the season.

[Sylar]

A frustrating offer. Lloyd would be a good capture for me, but he's on a bye this week and so would leave me on -1, as my other two receivers are also on a bye and I'm running on limited supplies! Brown has been pretty poor this year, being subject to double coverage more often than not and his numbers have been low.

I don't suppose I should analyse my team too much as I'm well and truly out of the running as it is :greengrin

I'll hold off for now!

The only WR I can really offer you is Stevie Johnson (BUF). Austin is still on my roster but will be gone (traded) by Sunday. I'm not giving up AJ Green! Johnson WILL be playing this week albeit against a tough Houston D but he is the #1 receiver in Bufallo, has already passed his bye week and has 4 TDs versus Nicks' 1 so......

I'll make the trade proposal and you can let me know.

Any idea why the trade is on hold till MOnday the 5th? I thought the rules said that there is a 48 hour waiting period. That means the trade should be trough in time for Sunday's early games. What's going on, Commish?

Not a clue my good sir. Not that he'd make much difference to me this week anyway.

I have no backup defense for the 49ers, Crabtree, Welker, Smith and Brady are all on bye-weeks and my backups are all mediocre at best.

Packers' D is available on FA and should be able to accumulate some points. There must be someone on your bench who you can drop for them, unless you are just going without a D/ST?

I remember something like that, but wasn't sure if that was THE trade. I don't think this thing keeps a record of failed waiver claims and rejected trades. Good on you for picking him up. I wonder if he will manage to repeat? I've been waiting on Jamaal Charles to blow it up again and I am sure lots of people have been waiting on Hartline posting up great numbers. And RGIII, he'll need to pull it out (although week 8's numbers were more about dropped passes than anything else).

I noticed the trade was rejected. I'm not upset because I still have high hopes for Hernandez, assuming his ankle is better after the long layoff. I know Hernandez and Welker are nothing alike but they do eat into each other's points. My hope is for the Pats to keep winning, any way they can, but on a more selfish note I hope that Hernandez bounces back and Welker's targets drop.

It's all about the match-ups. There are teams in our league who have better players than me but its not just about having the best players.....so I'm learning. This is all my opinion but you HAVE to pay attention to what's going on, what teams are playing each other, etc. you can't just draft a team and think you'll win.

Anyone used the fantasy guru? Is it just me or is it a load of rubbish? This week it "overwhelmingly suggests" that I drop Tynes (No. 1 Kicker with 18 points more than 2nd place) and add Dan Bailey (No. 20 kicker with 44 less points than Tynes) also it "overwhelmingly suggests" that I drop Randall Cobb (No. 9 WR, 95.6 points) and add Jermichael Finley (No. 26 TE, 31.1 points). Very odd.

Guru is pish. I have no idea how its programmed. Projections are pish too. I've seen Player A with a higher projection than Player B yet Guru suggests i play Player B instead. I don't use Guru and I ignore the projections but they can be distracting. It's hard to bench a player when the system tells you they're projected to score 15 points, even when you know better than to trust the projections. I went through all the weeks and compared projected vs actual fantasy points and the results were startlingly bad.

The season lasts for 16 weeks. The first 14 weeks we play each other. Week 15 is the Semis. Week 16 is the finals. You have 5 more weeks to make it into the playoffs but even if you blow your opponents out the water every week you pretty much need everyone else to lose (which is obviously not possible). :(

If you click on the League's home page you will be taken to the standings by default. You can click on the other tabs to see the schedule and the playoffs. The playoffs tab tells you which weeks are for semis and finals.

Does anyone play the SKY Sports/NFLUK fantasy football? You'd think it's a lot easier but I suck at that even more than I do on here :idiot:.

[Haymaker]

Risking it tonight selecting Andrew Luck as my starting QB... :agree:

Cant wait for tomorrow though, free tickets, food and booze for the Pittsburgh @ UCONN game as a thank you for the work I have done this season. Class! :aok:

[HibsMax]

Nice. Don't think Luck is a bad option.

[James.]

Ugh, really wanted Cecil Shorts in my line up for this week - sure enough the trade processes after the game and he's scored a respectable 16 points. I was lumbered with Rashard Jennings who scored a measly 2. The fact that I've got THREE Jacksonville players now says a lot about my team :greengrin I've resigned myself to the fact I'm fighting it out with Scott and DH for a slot in the consolation ladder!

On a brighter note, at least my team is a New England Patriot free zone with that good for nothing Brandon Lloyd out of the team!

Without all of those pesky Patriots in your team, now you've created some space to bring in a leader. A superb QB to lead those outstanding Jacksonville players to the victory they seek. And wouldn't you just know it! Mark Sanchez is available on Free Agency!

Do the right thing AH. Do the right thing...

And I had Shorts on my bench. Glad I picked up Ballard now. Lol.

[NOLA]

time to gain revenge on the late hits for my week1 loss :greengrin hopefully this week i pick the right players :doh:

[Gatecrasher]

I only have 9 points so far :faf:

[Sylar]

Tight matchup between me and DH but he still has 3 to go compared to my 2.

I fancy another loss is imminent unless Brady starts finding Welker with some frequency!

[NOLA]

tide turning in the late hits favour now, come on jets D take out the QB :na na:

[HibsMax]

Horrible day for me yesterday. Hernandez out again. Just got rid of my backup TE. Picked the wrong WR (Lloyd vs Denarius Moore). Picked wrong Def. I guess you might as well lose in style. Lol.

Not as bad as me, god forbid AP has a bad day.

Best of luck with him mate! Brady seems to target him a lot but he's never put in a huge performance this year.

[Sylar]

I'm hoping that the Pittsburgh defense manage to stop Kansas City doing anything tonight and I'll get some degree of revenge for my opening week loss to DH!

Just under a 16 point lead right now with only Dwayne Bowe to see off! Only twice has he exploded this season (against Buffalo and San Diego) so I'm hoping he has a quiet night, though Pittsburgh's pass defense is honking...

[Sergio sledge]

I need 4.5 points from Heath Miller against the Chiefs tonight to get a win. It's going to be pretty close, but I'm hoping that a player who has averaged 9.55 points per game will be able to get that against a defence who have conceded 6.7 points per game to tight ends....

Another poor low score from me though, how on earth does Michael Turner only score 1.5 points against the 2nd worse run defence in the NFL for fantasy points conceded and Steven Jackson scores 18.7 points against the 2nd best run defence in the NFL for fantasy points conceded. :confused::grr:

I really should have focused more on the rules and traded me some running backs :doh:.

I figure he's worth a shot. He's really the Pats only deep threat. Obviously did F all for me this week.

[Haymaker]

Need Heath to have an absolute shocker to help me go 5-5. :agree:


EDIT: Bugger.

:na na: Easy victory for me, a clear margin of ...... em...... 0.24 points!

[Sylar]

DH. Eat it.

That is all.

Close run thing in the end, looks like I will end with a negative record for my first fantasy season.

[HibsMax]

@Haymaker - just made you a trade proposal. Only 10 more days for trades (but you can still add players from FA and the wire).

Thinking it over buddy, going to sit down later with a beer and work it all out!

All I will say to you is that if it's not to your liking, look at my other players. Peyton Manning and AJ Green are untouchable, I'm playing them for the rest of the season. I would consider other players, like Stevan Ridley, but he's higher up the pecking order and would be a totally different trade.

Cool, I have a couple free agents waiting to come in to the side.

Assuming nobody beats you to them. ;-) I joke but I have been beaten to the punch a couple of times. Not Doug Martin like I thought a few days ago but I did put in a claim for Chris Johnson back when he was still kinda stinky, but I lost out. It's tough at the top. I have a couple of decent players but when I look at some people's rosters, they're stacked with good quality players.

[Sylar]

I think three of you have a trade proposal from me, whoring Carson Palmer out to those of you who have inferior QBs (either as starting or backup).

Palmer is in the top 10 (9th) for QB points scored this season and he's rotting on my bench right now. I have suitable backup in Alex Smith so he's surplus to requirements.

You have a suitably concussed backup...

[NOLA]

hibsbollah, i like that trade as i tried to draft T-rich and you beat me to it, but would only consider it after this weeks game, let me know if your still interested.

[hibsbollah]

:aok:
Hes been a good little earner for me. Whatever happens you know hes going to see plenty of the ball.

TSSF, thanks but no thanks. i couldnt draft a Raider just out of principle. Plus Palmer sucks :greengrin

His points are better than either of your backups but I can see why you think so considering your current starter! :greengrin

[DH1875]

I was robbed I tell you robbed. Bowe had a TD wrongly taken away in the 2nd quarter that would have seriously changed the game and my score.
Like I said before. I ducked up. Thought the game ended after the 9th week so stuck with my team as was well out of it. If I'd realized I'd have traded my RB's.

There's no space here for excuses. Only winners :aok:

Are you looking to trade Trent Richardson? Any of my team interest you?

[hibsbollah]

I like him but I'd be willing to trade him for another marquee player. I'll see how I got on in waivers this morning and let you know later :aok:

I've made you an offer. Neither of them is "marquee" I guess, but it is a significant improvement at WR for you. Let me know what you think or if you want to give me a counter offer. :aok:

[HibsMax]

Did you choke on your beer? :-)

[HibsMax]

@Haymaker - I changed the trade proposal because I needed to free up a roster spot to make another move. Not sure if that changes things for you. I noted you picked up Woodhead. If he is your answer to your RB problems then this trade won't interest you but I think your RB core needs bolstering. Bush is losing touches (benched last week after a lost fumble) and the Jets don't do a great job of running the ball. Yeah, I'm laying on the sales pitch hard. I get the feeling that you're not interested in a trade but if you don't ask, you don't get. I'm willing to sort tweak the trade to include Nicks but I really doubt that you want 4 Giants players on your roster (Manning, Cruz, Bradshaw and Nicks).

[HibsMax]

What is it with this league? Does nobody pay attention? Lol.

[Haymaker]

Did you choke on your beer? :-)

Sorry Max, the work end of season party kinda went on for a few days... I woke up in some weird places. :greengrin

[HibsMax]

Lol. I couldn't wait on your slow, drunken arse any more so I killed the trade. If you're still interested then let me know. I'm done proposing trades any more. I'll just have to crush everyone using who I have and the waiver wire if needed.

[James.]

My first two picks, Foster and Stafford, have a grand total of 1.48 points today :wtf:
