Also may be trading Flacco and Blount for Roddy White. My WR corps aren't too good.

Looks good, I would put Colston in over Crabtree, and if your trade for White goes throw put him in over Mason and use Choice as a RB. He has fresh legs and Garret already said that Choice "has earned a bigger role".

Thanks for the help on mine.

Thanks! I appreciate it.
I hope the trade goes through. The guy has two HORRIBLE QB's and not so many good RBs. I'm depleated at WR's and he's virtually out of the playoffs, but I'm trying to be fair (and not be a con artist like most folks!) and trade him people he could use/need.

No problem!

I'd go Colston over Crabtree, and if the weather in CAR is OK, and your trade goes through, White over Mike Williams.

Thanks again. I can use all the help and opinions I can get.
Just for anyone who's curious, here's the match-up preview.

You think I have a shot? lol
I'm very wary. His guys, for the most part, all have double digit averages. That's why I'm grasping at Roddy White and Marques Colston!

Wow, if you can pull off those trades then props for you. I think you have a definite shot with those guys.

In terms of your roster:

Colstin is unbenchable at this point. Start him over crabtree. Seriously, how would you feel if you lost with Colstin on your bench? The saints will be in a high scoring game. I see you still have blount, obviuosly if you have white you start him.

In terms of your matchup, err, yeah, I think you will need some help to win. I'd give it a 25% chance assuming you make the changes we have talked about in this thread and all your trades go through. That team is STACKED. Not trying to be a downer just realistic, hopefully my advice helped some.

Help me out?

Yea, I know it! For a while, I was on a 6/7 game win streak and in sole possession of first... then I lost to the suckiest team in the league... TWICE because for some reason during the times he played me, his players had good games. Now I'm tied for 2nd... with this guy.

He had a bad week last week and lost, other wise he was 2nd, but since he lost and I won, we're now tied.

I'm hoping he has another bad week.

The one trade (Colston for the Bears D/ST) is already a go. We're just waiting for it to clear. The person I'm trading has a bad D/ST. Shes out of the playoffs anyway, but I'm trying to help her out.

I say you gotta get Colston in there instead of Mason.....I know he is consistent, but Colston has tons more upside....and well, you need to have all your chips in at this point....go for the lineup that COULD get you the most pts, not the safe one.

like everyone says, def start colsten over crabtree, i would also not bench bradshaw, vikings run D is inflated, they arent that good against the run, also the giants are a run first run often kind of team...

He may score fewer points against min, but I'd be willing to bet he scores more than D. Mason...

I say bench crabtree and mason and start bradshaw and colsten, if you really dont want to roll with bradshaw id either bench crabtree or mason, i cant decide... SF QB situation is crazy and Mason is a #2
