Stevan Ridley isn't even a viable fantasy starter in most leagues, and Cruz wasn't doing jack this season, so these aren't really big losses. Not as bad as those of us that have lost guys like Megatron, AJ Green, Adrian Peterson, etc.
ingrams coming back this week.. although idk how well hes gunna do against the best defense in the nfl (the detroit lions) (yes u read that right)
okay i need some advice here.
i've reached out to LBell owners in my other 2 leagues to see if they'd be open to a trade, since he's not been putting up good numbers and i might be able to capitalize on their frustration.
here's the first one:
this guy is starting Roy Helu at RB for fuck sake.
i feel like FJax + JBell for LBell is a pretty fair trade.
would give me an upgrade on FJax, and would give him two starting quality RBs.
the second one:
this girl is almost always dead last in the league and it pisses her off.
she can be petty, and she's a Steelers fan, so i don't know if that works for or against me at this point.
i'd LOVE to unload Zac Stacy + FJax for LBell, but i doubt she'd go for that.
i think she might go for a package deal including JGordon or something. i dunno.
is this as dumb as my other trade ideas?

in what world has Bell not been putting up good numbers? he has yet to get under 100 all-purpose yards a game
man you're mad overvaluing fjax. fjax and joique for le'veon is not fair. something like ellington and joique is closer to fair, value wise (I know you don't have ellington, just making an example)
zac stacy and fjax is an even worse offer imo

fred jackson is literally a top 10 rb up to this point of the season (in both scoring types), and cj spiller is being phased out of the offense
you have good enough depth in both leagues to attempt these trades, and since Bell obviously >> Jackson (even though it's technically "only" top 5 to borderline top 10) I would say try them both. I can't guarantee that either will bite, but you really don't have anything better to offer that won't negatively impact your team (ie team 1 really needs a WR, but you'd be selling low on Allen or Colston who should be ok for you and are big upgrades over your bench until Gordon returns).

Yep. I've crashed down the standings since Calvin became a gimp
in PPR he's better
1Cle211 09 1 30
2Bal115 9 0 14
3car211 4 7 0 17
4TB196 3 0 16
5Jac158 2 0 16
6@Cle188 2 0 14
but in standard he's been pretty mediocre:
1Cle211 09 1 24
2Bal115 9 0 9
3car211 4 7 0 15
4TB196 3 0 10
5Jac158 2 0 11
6@Cle188 2 0 10
again, this trade is aimed to "buy low" on a back who hasn't had a TD since week 1.
yeah i'm quietly patting myself on the back for depth.
i privately asked PPR owner if he's be interested in FJax + JBell and he seemed VERY interested.
standard owner said she'd think about it, but i haven't made an offer to her yet, hoping she'll tell me what she wants first and we can go from there.
just traded Fred Jackson and Mark Ingram for LBell too.
Allen is bound for a breakout. can't sit him.
sitting Colston and starting Holmes makes me feel weird, but the ARZ D has been leaky as fuck whereas the Lions D has been remarkably stout this year.
Deschain I feel like Andre Holmes has a lot of boom or bust potential. He also drops a couple balls a game. On the other hand, James Jones has been scoring a TD per game pretty much; he has good chemistry with Carr and is a consistent possession receiver. I think Jones is pretty underrated since people think anything Raiders = crap.
Allen is really fucking confusing... he's probably a bit like Marques Colston of the past couple years in terms of fantasy production, still one of the leading targets on the team but Rivers spreads the ball around too much and he's not good enough after the catch or in open space to consistently put up huge numbers. Theoretically he has the talent to turn it around at any time, and he has the snap/target count to do so, but I'm not sure it's going to happen until either Floyd and/or Gates get hurt/slow down (which, given their age, is bound to happen).
I'm hoping he turns it around, though, drafting him in the 3rd is the one blight on my otherwise impressive money league team (as long as Ben Tate doesn't get hurt (again)).

Yeah, I traded for Allen a couple weeks ago thinking it was a good buy-low, but now that I think about it, Allen kind of had the perfect storm for a breakout his rookie year. Gates didn't have the resurgence he's having this year and Floyd only played in two games the entire season. Not to say KA doesn't have the talent to turn things around, but it's like Killah said, Rivers spreads the ball around and the Chargers will pound the rock with Oliver/Mathews (when he returns), so it's probably not likely.
I had a FA claim open for a certain person, ready to pick him up for this week, I fall asleep on the couch and the games start. Now knowing my luck for the season (e.g. cutting Forsett after the Ravens announced another player as the starter, Calvin Johnson and a bunch of other injuries), someone is gonna beat me to this guy and he's going to go for a huge rest of season...
