People drop players so fast. One game, not up to expectations, "You're out of here!".

Hmm? Not me. My only transaction in IDP was swapping Heap with Crayton and back again.

Grant's out for the year, the only "good" to come of that is I got Brandon on 2 teams now - just not the team with Grant

Good thing you're so deep at RB.

Yeah, but theres always the relative merits of free agents outweighing the potential of the person on your team.

[Al B. Sure!]

Ryan Grant screws me a lot in a non-Apolyton league for money... he was my top RB.

I know other people are going to try to get Brandon Jackson and how this is set up, you bid on free agents and that money (real money) goes into the pot... so, I don't know if I want to pay any real money for Jackson if I have to get into a bidding war for him.

I have Jamaal Charles, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Justin Forsett in this league where you can only start up to 2 RB's. I could start 3 or 4 receivers instead but I'm not strong there either with Marshall, Crabtree, Gaffney, Maclin, and Santana Moss.

Looking at my team, Ryan Grant really was what was keeping me competitive despite a miserable week 1 performance and he was the only guy I could count on starting week in and week out.

How much real money would you be willing to pay for Jackson in this sort of league?

Throw in the towel

Did I say you? No, I didn't. It was just a general observation. Come on, Ben!

[Ben Kenobi]

Zero, you need WR help.

[Al B. Sure!]

Throw in the towel

After winning in week 1? Really?

[Al B. Sure!]

Zero, you need WR help.

F/A WR's are thin (Naanee, Collie, and Mark Clayton are the best) and I don't trust any of them. Likely, I'll have to trade somebody in a package deal to get a WR so getting Jackson would still have value (ie- if I trade Charles who, along with Marshall, are my two best players; then getting Jackson makes sense)

[Ben Kenobi]

I'd take all three of those WRs. Drop Crabtree, Moss and Gaffney. Go three wide, Maclin, Collie and Marshall, with Clayton and Nannee as backups. Slot in any of the 4 behind Marshall according to matchups and there you go.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Should I give up on Crabtree after 1 possibly fluky game? Are Collie and Naanee the real deal?

[Ben Kenobi]

I owned Collie all last year. He's the real deal.

Legs, basically, you have a chance to have the number 1 WR from one of the best Passing offenses. I'd be starting Collie, but he's stuck behind Driver and the matchup against hapless Buffalo.

I'd still like to hear someone else's thoughts but I am leaning towards grabbing those two... I just don't trust that Collie will be a factor every week with Wayne, Garcon, Dallas Clark, and Anthony Gonzalez there. He had a few great games last year but had many games where he did nothing... then again, he is only in his second year, so he's young enough that he could actually be a superstar in development.

I don't think I would go so far as dropping Crabtree for either of them though after one week. I do have 2 open roster spots though so I don't need to.

Yeah Sloww... that was hours ago. No one cares about that bum
