I am willing to let Jimmy Graham go for a marquee rb. Anyone?

Murray and Jeffrey for Graham + Watkins?

That seems a little skewed:
Murray + Jeffery = 247.1 points
Watkins + Graham = 168.8 points

Someone is getting a good deal there. :)

Ive sent you a counter offer to your last offer. I see you've withdrawn Jeffrey now :-)

Sometimes I hate Thursday night football. The girl I am playing this week just dropped Andrew Hawkins who plays tonight. He's on waivers until next Wednesday!!!! He hasn't even played yet. I'm not scrambling to get him but he would have been a great plug-in for me for this week. It seems absurd that a player dropped from one squad can't be picked up by another player before he has even played. That's an ESPN league, not sure if NFL is the same.

**Gatecrasher** · 07-11-2014 06:48 AM

**lugz** · 07-11-2014 05:57 PM

ESPN places dropped players on waivers for 1 day.

I noticed that later so all's well that ends well....

...except Andy Dalton had a "blinder" which sunk Sanu and Green.

Tell me about it, I've got Green and Jeremy Hill who scored a combined 7 points or so! Defeat looms this week

Here (from ESPN Analysis of Andre Ellington) is why you should take most advice with a pinch of diarrhea:
From Wednesday: "The sledding may be tough in Week 10 against the Rams, though, who have allowed 3.1 YPC to running backs over the last four outings."
(my interpretation: might not be a great week for Ellington since the Rams D is tough against the run)

From Today: "He's a potential RB1 against a St. Louis defense allowing 4.6 yards per carry as well as a league-worst 10 runs of 20 or more yards.'
(my interpretation: might be a good week for Ellington since the Rams D is not as tough against the run as implied two days ago)

So which is it? Is it going to be a tough week or is he a potential RB1? I use stats to a certain degree but there are so many intangibles that make this little more than guesswork. Any team / individual can make a costly mistake or a subliminal play, something that goes against the grain for that particular team or player...but that never shows up in the stats as a meaningful metric.

You have my sympathies - Sanu has been Mr Reliable so far this year - received for 20 yards and 2 points

IF i beat you I've got very lucky with bye weeks, just seen your bench and your first choice team would destroy mine.

Jessie number 2 dispatched, despite an imperious outing from Peyton last night

5-5!

I wasn't expecting it when I woke up and chucked ESPN on this morning in truth - the headlines were all about Peyton and his 5 TDs. At the same time seeing that, I spied that 'Da Bears' had only managed 14 pitiful points against Green Bay so I feared the worst!

***Sylar*** · 10-11-2014 05:05 PM

Sorry 'bollah - Graham was tempting but Robinson is on a rich form and Morris has been his usually reliable self - McFadden is far from a comparable RB.

Bit more tempting! I'll respond to it shortly!

***Sylar*** · 10-11-2014 05:40 PM

Accepted - hopefully Robinson keeps up his form for you

Bye bye Jimmy G

a good trade for both of us I think.

Larry Donnell has been a fine TE for me but I'm not passing up a shot at having both Graham and Megatron in the same team

Robinson has looked solid as a RB1 for me the past few weeks since taking over from Gerhart

**hibsbollah** · 10-11-2014 06:37 PM

This rookie TE at Tampa Sevarian Jenkins was sensational at Uni of Washington and has been putting up decent numbers recently. Whether he can replace Jimmy Grahams numbers is doubtful

but I really need some rb help.

**HibsMax** · 10-11-2014 07:41 PM

Sorry Hampshire, I've been waiting on Ryan Mathews (my 2nd overall pick) to come back all season, don't want to give up on him now (and not for a TE when I have Kelce already).

No worries Max - figured it was a wee bit of a long shot
