So this is a 10 person non-ppr league. I am currently 2-2, possibly 2-3 depending on how Sanchez does tonight. This is my first fantasy football league so I could really use some help. Here is my team:

QB: Rivers, Tebow, Sanchez
WR: M.Wallace, AJ Green, Jordy Nelson, Julio Jones
RB: Best, Sproles, Blount, McGahee, Starks
TE: Witten
K: Jason Hanson
D: Detroit

Now there are a lot of interesting players available in my league to pick up but I am also looking for trade advice (preferably to get a top running back. First I lost Charles, now Blount?!?!). Here are some players available and some of my thoughts.

On the wavier wire:
WR
Devin Hester (obviously he played a great game last night and I think he could do a lot more as long as Cutler continues to perform)
Torrey Smith (another breakout performance?)
Mario Manningham (saw a lot more targets yesterday and two almost TDs)
Jacoby Jones
Nate Burleson
Preston Parker

RB
Earnest Graham (good for next week but whats his role once Blount is back?)
Jackie Battle (great game but can he do it again?)
Montario Hardesty (he might be the starting RB but what about his abilities to produce)

TE
Antonio Gates (I couldn't believe he is available but whats the deal with his injury? should i pick him up and keep him on the bench?)

I only picked up Sanchez for the bye week so he will be dropped for sure. The other players I am debating about dropping is Starks and Julio Jones. What do you think?

There is another team in my league who is 2-3 and is hoarding a lot of RBs (DMC, R. Mathews, Beanie Wells, Shonn Greene, and Peyton Hillis). On the other hand, he is really week at WR. Do you see any moves I could make to improve my running game without giving up too much in Receiving? I'm really looking towards B. Wells

THANKS!

Dump Sanchez for Jackie Battle or Earnest Graham.

Yeah. Sanchez is definitely going. Who would you pick between Graham or Battle? I'm leaning towards battle just because of the long term possibilities. DO you think I should drop Starks or Julio Jones for one of the many WR options on the waiver wire?
