I'd switch out Flacco with Garrard, and consider grabbing Burleson and drop either Brown or McCoy (both are handcuffs for players you don't own).

Help on mine? viewtopic.php?t=446557

Drop Garrard for Flaco (I did this is 2 of my leagues)

Pick up Burleson

Instead of droping Brown or Mccoy, consider packaging them with someone else on your roster for a trade from a team that owns Addai or Westbrook respectively. This will upgrade a player on your roster, and also open a spot to pick up a reciever like Burleson without dropping anyone.

That's what I'm doing in this trade that I have posted, except I'm doing it with Jerious Norwood, the falcons backup. Check it out, it might help, and offer your opinion on the trades if you have time:

Alright thanks all!

Heres what I am thinking of doing now, after reading all of these (they were really helpful btw!)

Matt Ryan's bye week is Week 4, and I want to make sure my backup QB has a good matchup in week 4.
Flacco is facing New England, which may be tough but Flacco could have big trade value also later
Drop Garrard Add Flacco

I'm not all sure about Burleson, why does everyone like him so much? Wouldn't it make more sense to pick up Kevin Walter or Derrick Ward?

I'm attached to him because I got laughed at when I drafted him in the 2nd to last round. Hassleback throwing to him and Housh opening up the field for him are 2 factors that add up to him having a good year. Also, he seems to have recovered from injury.

I'm not sold on any Bucs RBs, as I don't think you'll ever be able to tell which one is going to get the carries any particular week. The bucs coach has said in interviews that the "hot" back will get carries each week.

TB RBBC = nightmare for Fantasy. I'd stay away until one of them seems to outshine the others. Walter, if he's healthy, is a pretty solid option too. I'd say he's on about the same level as Burleson - hell, he might even have a little more upside considering that offense. Grabbing either one and using them as a high-upside WR3 is not a bad idea.
