If I were you I'd trade one of 'em to someone with a lesser QB and get somebody...you're going to be seeing point totals in the high 20's on the bench quite often if you have both of them....
I see those guys maintaining solid production Byrne, but I have doubts about them being able to remain in the 20s and 30s each week. The inconsistency of the Dolphins' entire offense makes Bush a risky play, and Trent Richardson...well, he has to play Pittsburgh AND Baltimore twice each, so those are four games minimum you'll need to bench him. CJ Spiller I think can keep a relatively high level of production from week to week, but not upper 20s. More like mid to upper teens for him. Let's also realize he hasn't exactly played two of the top run defenses in the NFL yet, so let's see how he fares against real competition. Newton...well, yeah, you can count on Newton.
Come on Broncos, you better blow the Falcons out of the water tonight. I need at least 36 points from Manning and Tamme to have a shot at winning this week
You haven't perchance been reading Simmons' weekly pick columns have you...?
If you don't (you will though), does that mean I'll overtake you?
Edit - also who else can say EVER that they've topped 150 points in a given week when their two starting RB's get injured!
Well, managed to go 2-3 this week instead of 0-5 like Week 1 (thank you Danny Amendola!), but this trend needs to stop. One league I started Andre Johnson, Brandon Marshall and Dan Bailey and ended up with 63 points total. It's not even that I'm leaving points on the bench either, it's that my studs are taking naps or I'm playing an opponent whose team blows up like crazy. It's only week 2, but it's been a terrible start. Gotta get this turned around before I miss out on playoffs.
EDIT: Also getting a little tired of seeing the "[Your Team] had the highest losing score in the league this week" comment in most of my recaps...

Mercy handed me my first loss in any league this season with a strong showing from McGahee. I forgot to check whether Gates was playing or not, but the guy I was gonna replace him with (Heeeeeeeeath) wouldn't have won me the game anyway. 7-1 is still pretty damned good, though!
Had two close matchups decided on Monday night in my money league. Week 1 I won after Gates ended up 17 yards short of what he needed to score, and week 2 I won thanks to that third quarter TD to Roddy White. My lineup's pretty solid, as I have three top 10 receivers so far in White, Harvin, and Bowe, but I'm contemplating trying to trade one + some backups to replace Jamaal Charles, who almost lost me the game with his 1 point showing.
In league C, YTP is #2 in scoring and 2-0 despite starting Russel Wilson and drafting Julio Jones at #3 overall... wat. I'm still in need of a WR#2 if someone wants to offer me something!

So I'm in a 20 man league and my WR are awful. I have S. Smith (CAR), J. Blackmon, and J. Morgan. At TE I have Witten and Pitta. There is a huge Cowboys fan in the league who wants Witten. He responded to my trade block request of, "Witten for any WR2 better than Blackmon" by offering me Kenny Britt lol. He has Harvin, Hawkins, and Amendola though and you can only start two in our league. If he entertains offers for the three who should I take?
Harvin easily
I have the exact same question, but a non Wikey (homer as fuck) answer would be appreciated :)
lol What can I do? You would be equally as homer if RGIII was on your team.
Anyway, that guy offered me Witten for Hawkins straight up. I would get Hawkins. I have Pitta to play TE in Witten's place. I know Witten is probably going to get healthy and go off but I really need a WR. All I have is S. Smith. Am i getting completely hosed here?

I would be haha, but it's hard to make a decision when your opinion is a biased one, even thought RG3 looks the goods so far!
Yeah dont do it, you can get better then Hawkins for Witten just off name brand alone surely. Try for Amendola, he might be a bit hesitant cause of his big week last weak but sell him on Witten's name and Ameldola's out of nowhere performance (even though I think he'll be really good in PPR haha). Just say its cause you want a receiver that isn't a rookie.
RGIII and Newton are both probably in for big games, considering they are playing crappy secondaries. Newton is the better QB overall, but the Giants also have a pass rush to speak of, whereas the Bengals do not. I would probably start RGIII too given that comparison, since Newton could get pressured and/or sacked a lot. Hell, even Brandon Weeden played well against Cincy :x
I don't even know who the fuck Hawkins is and he'd have to be insane to give up Harvin for Witten, so the only obvious answer to me is Amendola.
I'm going Newton > RG3 having to make the same decision in my friend's ESPN league. The Giants' defense right now isn't exactly looking any better than Cincy's... strangely, both of them were supposed to be good but whatever. I think the Bungles are more likely to go back to being good, less injured and whatnot. Unless your league subtracts points from QBs for being sacked.
