In my 12-team VERY COMPETITIVE all-girls FF league, all THREE of my #1RBs are on bye this week (Mathews, Reggie Bush, McGahee).
I know--I know. *cry me a river* What was *I* thinking on draft day? I guess at the time, I thought---ahhhhh- week SEVEN? That's a loooong ways away??
Ok. I'm a bad bad GM. I'm over it now. I've fast-forwarded thru the first 5 stages of grief-- and I am now focused on problem-solving the sixth--ACCEPTANCE. So, I've shifted into crisis mode.
ME - Dem Boyz
QB: Aaron Rodgers
RB: Ryan Mathews, Reggie Bush, McGahee (all on bye), Mendenhall, Andre Brown
WR: Reggie Wayne, Steve Smith, Antonio Brown, Randall Cobb, Kenny Britt
TE: Kyle Rudolph and Jared Cook
K: Legatron and Sea Bass
DEF: ARI and PHI
The good news? Those 50+ pts from A-Rod and Randall Cobb was a Hail Mary for my team this last weekend and vaulted me into 1st place. ;D The bad news? I'm 12/12 on the WW tonite--hoping to pickup Felix Jones (highly unlikely). Otherwise, I'm playing the only two RBs left on my roster-- Mendenhall and Andre Brown-NYG.
The best of the worst WW RBs left are Woodhead, Hardesty and Mike Goodson--followed by Draughn (on bye), Lane/Miller (also on bye), Powell (Bilal from the NYJ not William with ARI), Turbin and the FBs Leach/Tolbert. Yeah. I know.
Sooooo-- I can just sit this one out and take the hit--a big ZERO at RB2 or try and upgrade my team in trade.
I've offered a trade to Cupcake Crushers-- Spiller/Colston for MaGahee/Brown/SeaBass.
She doubled up on NO WRs and also has D. Henderson. At RB, she can play Forte, Leshoure, and J. Rodgers. So I don't think she will miss either of these two players. She has Prater (on bye) needs a K and I'm "throwing in" one of the best. I'd really like to dump Brown (Wallace is getting more touches) and McGahee (Manning is throwing more passes) while they still have value.
Whadda you think?
I'm also entertaining another trade---
ME: Andre Brown, MaGahee (bye), Cook
HER: Vick Ballard, D Thomas (bye), Hernandez
Dixie Chick already has two #1RBs in Rice and Morris but has been playing RB at flex--Murray, who is now injured. She could be targeting Felix Jones on the WW--I don't want that to happen. She also has all of INDY's backfield (D Brown and V Ballard)--and could dump Ballard in a heartbeat because she's not looking to play him anyway (although I am ;D). She's a little rocky at WR (D Thomas, Jordy Nelson, Torrey Smith, LaFell), but has a bunch of TEs (Witten, Chandler and Hernandez). I'd like to steal one of each.
Who should I target?
