Week 10 Results:

My team (7-2)

QB - Garrard @ DET- 21.92
RB - Peterson vs GB - 33.66
RB - Moore vs IND - 28.46
RB - Charles @ SDO - 1.10
WR - Fitzgerald vs SFO - 15.00
WR - Jennings @ MIN - 6.04
TE - Daniels vs BAL - 2.11
K - Bironas @ CHI - 3.00
DEF - Baltimore @ HOU - 19.45

Bench:
QB - Cassel vs BUF - 21.41
RB - Parker vs IND - 0.00
RB - Sproles vs KC - 4.59
WR - Wayne @ PIT - 23.79
WR - Bowe @ SDO - 11.79
WR - Evans @ NE - 3.64
TE - Cooley (BYE)

Opponent (3-6) started Kurt Warner, Steve Breaston, DeSean Jackson, Kevin Walter, Chris Johnson, Jerious Norwood, Visanthe Shiancoe, John Carne and the Vikings defense.

His bench had Eli Manning, Kevin Curtis, Devery Henderson, Antwaan Randle El, Earnest Graham, Reggie Bush, and Kevin Faulk.


I was favored by 41 points, but it turned into the trap game I feared it would. I'd done fine all year starting 3 WR and 2 RB, so I don't know why I felt so compelled to start Jamaal Charles. Benching Lee Evans turned out to be the right decision, but had I just started Peterson-Moore-Wayne-Fitzgerald-Bowe I would've won. I find that the losses where you have the guys to win but make the wrong sit-start choices are the worst.

Team Jables loses 130.74 - 154.19

The loss drops me to 7-3... but the guy who was 7-0 just 3 weeks ago got beat by Mrs. Jables (by 0.6 points no less) and I jumped ahead of him in points scored. The team in third place won to improve to 7-3 also, so I'm first among three teams tied for the best record at the moment.

Wasn't your fault, you can never predict injuries. I also got burned by Charles, would have been great if one of the 8 people ahead of me on the waiver wire scooped him up, then I would have been left with BenJarvus who would have given me the W.

Oh well, I had one of my better games despite the RB's but opponent had TJones, Boldin, Brees and the Pats D. Record is now 4-4-2, tied for 4th.

Parker may or may not come back. I wouldn't do the trade, DeAngelo is your best back right now. Barber has a tough schedule coming up, you never know what you're getting from Grant, and Moore will depend on Parker's situation. JStewart's been hindered by the foot injury so DeAngelo is getting both the yards and the TD's.

If you do the trade I'd take Roddy over Reggie. Wayne's a stud, but Peyton's not putting up the big numbers he did before and when he does produce, you never know if it will be Wayne, Clark, Gonzalez, or one of the RB's. Roddy doesn't have as much competition for scoring.

would you trade Grant for Roddy white then?

she hasn't made any offers. she just posted saying she needs a rb. she has portis and no one else. i'm trying to dump moore on her first. I thought grant would be more valuable than williams...

Id trade Williams before Grant. Roddy or Wayne are both perfectly fair either one. Id rather Roddy

Haven't gone 4-0 all year.... lets go Cards!
Well, 3-1, not too bad... that Adrian Wilson offside was killer and I expected more out of Hightower. I'm a respectable 6-4, 5-5, 4-6, 4-6 in my four leagues after a really bad start... can still make the playoffs in three of those leagues.

ok, I'd rather trade williams too. in the end, he's not the goalline back.

another league deal question, would you deal thomas jones for brandon marshall?

if that happened, I'd still be starting barber and deangelo. thanks for your advice shady

As long as you have 2 good RB's you should do it.

I guess Williams would be the better choice on the first trade, though there's a good chance you'll regret it on Sunday when Williams plays Detroit while you're stuck with Grant vs. the Bears.
