heres my team that matters. Peyton Manning Kevin Jones Thomas Jones Roy Williams Joe Horn Keyshawn bench is Cedric Benson, Vernand Morency, L Coles, Chris Henry, Dallas Clark. I am thinking of dropping Morency and picking up Brandon Stokely, but maybe i will grab Cotchery if I trade away Coles. Any thoughts? I obviously need help at RB for the bye weeks. Does Barlow suffice as the #3 and is it worth trading LC for him? Thanks.
It is a 12 team league and Free Agents and RBs are real thin. I would start Coles as well as long as Steve Smith isnt playing, but I am thin in both depts really. I think Barlow could/should be our guy as the year goes on, and i think Cotch/B.Smith could take some catches from LC. I am very torn on this one. I am pissed, I run this league, its an office league and decent money, but I ran the board and I couldnt focus on my team during the draft. Hence my current crappy situation.
NO FREAKIN WAY! Barlow isn't garuanteed to get any more carries than he did this week, so why would you want him? I understand that you really only have two starters, but you should have a few more weeks untill their byes come around. Hold off and hopefully one of your recievers or bench guys will have a big game, hence raising his value, and you might be able to get someone better than Barlow. Also, you should definatly be starting Coles over Keyshawn. The Panthers played terribly last week, while Coles had 8 catches and 150 yards. I don't know what you're thinking not starting him after such a solid performance.
Now that's a more realistic trade. Plus, Lewis should have a great week against the aweful Raiders. And you could start him over Kevin Jones who is going up against a stout Chicago defense.
Stand Pat......worst Thing To Do Is Get Nervous After Week 1...its A Marathon Not A Sprint...stay With Coles
I didnt do, I ended up picking up Blaylock, although I doubt he will see more than 5 touches a game by week 4. I can stand pat for now, but i am going to need to do something by week 7 when one of my RBs is on a bye. Thanks for the thoughts.
roy williams, joe horn, and keyshaun and a terrible terrible trio of wr's.....coles could end up being your #1 wr if williams flops and he definently should be better than horn/keyshaun trade one of the older guys (sucks adding cotchery, b/c him and coles are on the same team....and i dont see us going for 319 too many times)
I know, I picked 10 in a 12 team league, started with Peyton, b/c Lamont didnt wow me and everyone else i liked was gone, Plus I am the commish, which means i spend teh entire draft up at the board updating everyone's picks and never looked at my sheets till it was my turn, I missed a few guys I would have preffered, but was sidetracked with the big board. I had 2 guys who were late as well, and i was updating them on their cells, while I was doing the board for everyone else for the first three rounds. I was not happy about it. I am not running this thing next year. Thats the biggest probelm with a live draft. Next year, we hire a stripper to update. That's how we used to do it, until a chick got into the league...
You can pick up an RB off the waiver wire later in the year who will do better than Barlow. He has no upside. If you're going to trade Coles, get someone with a semblance of upside.
