First!!

When you say Mike Williams, do you mean the TB one or the SEA one? Haha. They're both still FA's in my league.

tampa bay. Originally the SEA one looked good (still does) but he's more of
a wait n see, the other one looks to be a bona fide sleeper.

Haha. Thanks for the quick reply. I really appreciate it. I have another question: why would Addai being in a contract year make Donald Brown more valuable–why not shoot for Addai?

If you're the Colts, one of your backs is gonna be askin for more money, an the other is you're first rounder from last year, which one are you gonna give the most work to this year??

Ya feelin me playa? That's what we call a sleeeeeeeeper!

Haha. Definitely. Thanks for clearing that up. Drop Addai for Brown? Yes? No? Maybe?

You know I'm gonna tell you to work the 2-1 deals before dumpin a guy like that.

So i just drafted (snake) my team for the no-so-serious-but-i-wanna-win-anyway league… 12 team pretty standard. Picked 8th…rnd, (pick #)1. (8) Randy Moss2. (17) Brandon Marshall3. (32) Chad Ochocinco4. (41) Ronnie Brown5. (56) Knowshon Moreno6. (65) Matt Forte7. (80) Carson Palmer8. (89) Clinton Portis9. (104) Brandon Jacobs10. (113) Owen Daniels11. (128) Vincent Jackson12. (137) Dallas13. (152) Matt Hasselbeck14. (161) David AkersI kinda made a mistake with my valuing of RBs too… considering that there's 2 RB slots plus W/R flex, i should have gone with an SJax at #8, so the left me scrambling to get some solid lower tier guys… but at that point i stuck to the rankings and loaded up on STUD WRs… what do you think of the squad?

Been sending out the 2-1 trades. Even sent some 3-2 trades. League is full of jerks who won't bite.

I think you scrambled well, but I do think u coulda got jax n been better off. Still, great trade bait sittin on this squad

Preseason deals are tuff but no worries, browns not goin anywhere.

Just did a snake draft 10 team league started / 8th pick. Ended up with:

QB Flacco
RB Mendenhall
RB Steven Jackson
WR Ochocinco
WR Jennings
WR/RB Michael Bush
TE Celek
K Bironas
Def Dallas
Bench: Portis, Jacobs, Santana Moss, Shockey, Britt, Edwards, Alex Smith

what do you think?

Very interesting read Thief, thanks for the insights. And for me at least, I like it as it's good prep reading for morskie's league's upcoming draft this week. It definitely won't be as intense as your wife's league's draft, but we got several guys sharing a lot of the same insights in there. Haha it'll be intense no doubt.

sup thiefwhat do you think of this trade in the wake of joe schmoe sportswriter talking down beanie wellsi give – i get:steve smith(NYG) – percy harvincadillac williams – beanie wells

K little baseball here… Berkman is off the DL and i have to decide what to do with him…here's my squad…C – VMart, Montero1B – Votto, (VMart)2B – Hill, Ian Desmond3B – Zimm, ARamSS – HanRam, (Desmond)OF – Rios, Kemp, Lee, Mike Stanton, Nyjer MorganI'm thinking i can just Cut Berk since i don't need him for depth… I would have dropped Stanton, but i expect him to come out of his slump, and he seems to be, going 2-4, HR tonight… Also, morgan could get slapped with a 7 game suspension (pending appeal), but i wouldn't fill his spot with a guy like berk anyway…

wait…is she taking notes from u? if so,why would u let her in the league? She can busy in another league. Or is this 4 bragging rights?

Thief, good all on the later rounds are going to make your team. With that said what do yout hink of Mike Wallace, the WR from Pitt, and Chester Taylor for the bears? Also is Washington going to beat out Forsett?I like the draft. Interesting strategy, but looks like a pretty solid team. Good grab on Bush. That kid is going to go off. You have a lot of guys that you can pedal to get the guys you need.

He joined her league, I believe.

Thief and Crew,
A guy dropped Jerome Herrison and Sidney Rice. Should I drop Brian Westbrook and Kenny Britt for them? I already have CJ, SJax and TJones as my RBs. As for WRs, I have Brandon Marshall, Ohco5, Garcon, S. Moss and Mike Williams (TB). I am looking for backups and trade bait. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.

MJD is kind of a buyer beware, but is this deal too good to pass up? I got a verbal offer for my Randy Moss + Matt Forte = his MJD. I'd have the uber combo of MJD/AP at RB with Clinton Portis/Montario Hardesty as backups, and then WR still wouldn't be too bad at Fitz/Ochocinco/Santana Moss.

I like it. Obviously your goal during the season will be to get an upgrade at RB. I'd look now for a team with a solid RB2, an a weak flex (maybe a WR there) and 2-1 offer them bush n Jacobs. I'd love to see you land a Pierre Thomas or benson for ur flex. Keep portis for backup.

I think that'll be REALLY intense. Some day, when things with this blog get more streamlined, I'll have to play with you all.

I wouldn't deal harvin in there. Try replacing him. He could be big this year. Smith can def go tho.

Yeah u got no room for berk.

She let me in her league lol. The only notes she takes is gaming who I like. However she genuinely likes PT (swears she didn't know I like him too) an think ocho is HOT lol

Wallace yes, Taylor no (he's old dood) an Seattle loves leon.

Drop westy for Harrison. Let rice stay.

that would be awesome haha =)

Hah nice going there man. So this time YOUR guys, actually did go to HIM…or HER… Good read, gonna be fun to follow it. Big Ben got dropped in my 12team few days ago, I scooped him off waivers (#5) and have now Rodgers (bye week 10) and him combo. Thought it was gonna be perfect bait for a tune up in case I line up for playoffs after w10, but there is a slight problem, week 10 is nov 11th, our trade deadline is nov 12th. Keep him, trade him earlier or work a last minute move ?

There is another possible deal in the making which would have me dealing with 2 managers att the same time in order to move Mendenhall, Welker and Felix Jones (+maybe some backup) for Brandon Marshall and Shonn Greene (+something like B.Jacobs). All this because I am not sure about Welkers knee, but I'm not so sold on Shonn either. I'm leaning towards no deal…6pt TDs, 0.5 PPR

Nyjer Morgan is most assuredly not going to be available this weekend (and beyond) for his antics — Appealing 7 game suspension for throwing a ball into the stands, and igniting a bench clearing brawl last night. So i need a run scoring, base stealing OF replacement. here's my choices.Gregor Blanco – KC – at home this weekend against Detroit, bats leadoff, speed aplentyRajai Davis – not leadoff, hasn't had a great season… but he's rajai and he has 40 steals for not batting leadoff (or at all) for most of the season.Roger Bernadina – seems to be a 5 category guy and has been batting 3rd in the Nats lineup. Less steals, but more of everything else.Eric Young, Jr – leading off for the Rox… if they had a home series this weekend i'd probably be all over him. He's last on my list, highlighting the dire straits i'm in lolwho's my best bet for the weekend?

Thief got a baseball question for ya…I need to drop one of these guys to bring Kinsler back in the lineup…who should I ditch?-Lance Berk-Aaron Hill-Carlos Lee-BJ Upton-Quentin-Beltran-Aramis Ramirez-Derek LeeThanks!

If Berk and Derek Lee are both backups to your main 1B, you can dump one of them… I just ditched berk myself.

i wouldn't give up randy for him until we hear something about this "knee soreness"

Hey Thief long long time no talk but im not into baseball.. but now footballs back!!! So I had my first draft last night and it was a snake boo but i had to do it. I had 7th pick and its a 12 person league with all td's 6 pts including qbs. Also half a point for receptions So heres the team: How did i do???Matt SchaubMegatron… have had him ever year.. semi man crushSteve Smith(car)Michael TurnerJavid Bestjermichael finleyTOJustin ForsettLTBrett farvenate washington … picked on accidentLarry JohnsonJulian edelmanNate burlesonvinateribaltimore d

Letting you know thief the reason I think flacco is going for more $ now is Yahoo is running an article on him… sucks I know cause I was hoping for him cheap in my draft sunday but people just eat up the yahoo stuff

The Vikings are likely to use a committee of running backs on third down this season, with Adrian Peterson, Albert Young and Toby Gerhart all getting a shot."We've got to find a third-down back," quarterback Brett Favre said. "Are we going to use Toby, Albert or Adrian? One more than the other? I really don't know." The team would like Young or Gerhart to step up, because Peterson's pass protection skills are sub-par, but so far neither player has. The Vikes could be missing Chester Taylor more than they thought.

Ha, that is hilaious that she thinks Ocho is Hot. Is she watching his reality show diligently?

Beat writer Mary Kay Cabot expects Jerome Harrison to start in Week 1 because Montario Hardesty hasn't gotten enough reps in the preseason.Note that Cabot didn't say Harrison will start because he's earned it. Instead, Harrison will likely get the nod simply because Hardesty was injured. It's a reminder that Hardesty is the one that the Browns' coaches want to take command of this committee. A good performance from Hardesty in tonight's preseason finale will go a long way.

I agree, mendy seems more certain than shonn. LTs preseason is murkying the waters. I think you'll be trading big Ben at a big profit in week 5 (seems his suspension might b only 3 games)

Dang they just slighted A.P. What are they talking about 3rd and long. I know they cant be talking about 3rd and short.

People eating up these Thief articles too! I am going to have a hard time come Saturday trying to steal "sleepers" Are they really sleepers when everyone else in your league knows they are good.

i like rajai

Brutal Beltran

Nate Wash and LJ are WW garbage. Let's work on getting you a better RB2, tho
best could be OK. Overall, it's a B draft, but we'll make deals to create an
A team. By the way, WELCOME BACK!

ugh, I swear they read my stuff too. Given that, I may audible to a
Palmer/Rothlisberger duo.

LOL, they'll be runnin on third down with AUTOMATIC PAYDIRT

she was all like 'OH I didnt know he had a TV show!', I was like 'sure ya
didn't'.

You know, if she thought Tom Cruise or George Clooney was hot (she does)
I've got no issue, I could kick their asses. But Esteban?! Man I got nothing
on him!

duly noted, but I think this BEAT writer missed the last 5 games of last
season

In an auction, sleeper has more to do with price than breaking out. They buy
Flacco at $21, we buy Big Ben and his reduced suspension at $4

I just read that Michael Bush, Oak, has a broken thumb. Not sure what hand. Could have big impact on his and others value.

ESPN's John Clayton confirms that Sam Bradford "looks real strong right now" as the Rams' Week 1 starter.A.J. Feeley's injury sealed the deal, if Bradford's terrific performance in St. Louis' third preseason game hadn't already. According to Clayton, Bradford would have to completely tank tonight against Baltimore to lose the job.

You better hope they do lol

That is awesome. Yeh, I hear you on the movie star thing. A bunch of nerds that became famous and your wife digs them, oh well. They got their ass kicked through high school and college, sure another one wouldn't hurt them. Digging an athlete is a little different. They got mucho dinero, their ripped, athletic, and they could kick are ass. I hate them all:) Now, if my wife digs a kicker, bring it on chump!!

Nahh he's fine

The Thief also confirms, Bradford is the real deal. Too bad he has no line, no receivers.

Ha! Pretty sure she's got the hots for every colt too, including the kicker

NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports that the Seahawks are actively trying to trade T.J. Houshmandzadeh.Good luck. A poor fit for new OC Jeremy Bates' vertical offense, Housh turns 33 later this month and is due a $7 million base salary. The only way Seattle could move him is if Houshmandzadeh agreed to a pay cut. Surely that's not happening because the $7 million is fully guaranteed. Outside of perhaps St. Louis and Cleveland, the Seahawks' receiver corps is shaping up as one of the weakest in the league. Vincent Jackson should still be in their radar.

According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, it's "believed" the Seahawks are trying to part with T.J. Houshmandzadeh in an effort to clear salary space for Vincent Jackson.It's an honorable idea. The Seahawks are highly unlikely to find a trade partner for Houshmandzadeh, but theoretically could release the declining veteran to get the rest of his contract off the books. They'd still be on the hook for Housh's $7 million guaranteed salary, of course, but Seattle owner Paul Allen has deep pockets. If he wants a better chance to win, he'll do it.

Oooooh I hear mr Favre is lookin for a friend

Wow they're really not likin housh in Seattle. Duly noted. Hope he lands in a good spot. Good lookin out AC.

PS no kudos for my shout out to u in the post?!?

hey thief nation
trade question, my fourth team, the only one i'm worried, about sent a trade offer of s.jackson/l. fitzgerald for my AP/b.jacobs
i turned it down, but was thinking of sending him an offer of my a.smith/ t.heap/AP/b,jacobs
for hism.ryan/j.witten/s.jackson/r.wayne i'm on the fence with this but leaning on not sending.
my team is his team
QB a.smith/- QB j.cutler/k.kolb/m.ryan
RB AP/c.benson/c.portis/m.barber/r.williams/b.jacobs RB s.jackson/knowson/d.mcfadden
WR m.austin/d.bowe//lee evans/n.buleson WR r.wayne/c.johnson/l.fitzgerald/ s.smith[gia}/j maclin/v.jackson
TE t.heap TE j.witten

so, should i send the trade thru, or do you see something els i could do? all comments are welcomed

TE j.witten

Hey thief…. sorry to bug ya again but I value your opinions…. I took over a dynasty team about a year ago and have very little assets and wont be very good until next year probably… I was thinking of countering an offer what do you think? (I have high hopes for amir and cousins)His offer was I Give rose and ryan anderson I Get cousins and amir johnson MY counter (asking too much?)I give: melo, mbah moute, barnes and dunleavy I get: cousins griffin amir johnson and aldridge

He needs a rb. I'd send barber, bowe, Jacobs for Wayne n maclin.

I wouldn't sell melo like dat. No way.

k…. what do you think of the rose and anderson for cousins and johnson? I think that amir this year could be easy 16 and 7 and cousins bout 13 and 9….

And I think Rose could be an all star. You really like Cousins eh? I dunno. I'd pass for now. But it's your call if ur that hard up for em.

I do like him alot but i think the selling point for me is amir… I watched every game down the stretch when bosh was hurt and he was beastin (and I think that heel be one of the biggest sleepers of the season) I see his career like JO now that he has been given a chance to shine … I do love rose and along with westy melo turner he is a part of the future of my team but acquiring 2 future stars it would be more beneficial for me in the long run

My bad thief, thanks lol.

I would have to agree 110% trades is what makes are teams run. Give us some kids from the WW and I'm sure we could turn that team around.

What do you think about

I give=I get

Anquan Boldin+Hines Ward+Matt Ryan=Andre Johnson+Mike Sims Walker+Me picking up Big Ben

Also sent out

Kellen Winslow+Malcom Floyd=Jermichael Finley

The Rams have reportedly pulled out of the bidding for unsigned restricted free agent Vincent Jackson.The Seahawks are still in it, but figure to drop out if they're unable or unwilling to dump T.J. Houshmandzadeh's contract. According to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora, the Rams did pursue the idea of acquiring V-Jax, but "do not expect to acquire him." "There are too many moving parts," a Rams source told La Canfora. "That's not something we're pursuing right now."

ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss confirms that Fred Taylor is expected to be the Patriots' lead back this season.Taylor continued to run with the first team in Thursday night's contest, as he has all preseason. Laurence Maroney didn't even see the field until Tom Brady was out of the exhibition game. Taylor is a poor bet to stay healthy over the course of the season, but he's the Pats back to own early in the year.

The Giants started their entire first string in Thursday's preseason finale, and Ahmad Bradshaw was the first tailback on the field.Bradshaw made a nifty run on the third play from scrimmage, evading numerous Patriots including Vince Wilfork for an 11-yard rush. He picked up seven yards on a carry the very next play, and on the same drive took a checkdown 17 yards to get into the red zone. Bradshaw was on the field for the Giants' entire first series. He will start over Brandon Jacobs in Week 1.

thinking about trying to go after Calvin J. How does CJ and Foster for Matthews and Djax (Or Jennings) sound?

Beat writer Jerry McDonald suggests Michael Bush (thumb surgery) could miss "up to a quarter of the season or more."The Raiders aren't providing a timetable. McDonald, after consulting with an orthopedic surgeon, believes Bush is "highly unlikely" to be ready to play in the opener. The doctor advised that 4-6 weeks would be a "best case scenario" for a return from "Bennett's fracture" surgery. As Bush is a running back, it's unlikely that he'll be able to play with a "club" over his hand. Darren McFadden will enter the season as the starter with Michael Bennett as the backup.

Yo thief, I have brian westbrook, laurence maroney, and mario manningham on my bench, should I drop any of them for free agents sidney rice, bernard scott, and laurent robinson?

The Colts, ugh. How does she like all those fat cheese and meat eatin linemen? Get a picture off the net of one of them with their shirt off and your safe on those cats. The kicker to??? I am glad my wife does not watch football. I would be worried. We live way to close to Oakland. She also is in love with Matt McAnoghe. I love it because they report all the time how whacked out that dude is. Yeh, great abs, nice hair, etc.. But, he eats elephant crap and puts monkey nuts on his skin to keep it soft. Who cares what he looks like. He is a nut job.

hey thief,long time no talk, but i have a basketball draft coming up tmo. i know SUPER earlyish. i dont like the idea of this especially since my players can get injured. buht i just wanted to know whos the top tier players now?? because its an auction draft THANKS

ei thief any advices who to pick this '10 nba draft? So excited for this season. More power to you site bro. Im counting on you **winks*

thief, u may think im nuts, but i got a basketball question. im doing a 15 team draft thats been taken a couple weeks now, and i was wonderin if u had some sleepers. ive made many trades to move up picks lose picks, gain players, and what not.heres the squad:Deron Williams, Steph Curry, Raymond FeltonAndrei Kirilenko, Nicolas BatumDirk Nowitzki, Al Horford, Jason Thompson, Channing FryeAndrea Barnagni, Andris Biedrinswho i think are the decent players left, any names u wanna throw out??thaddeus young, richard jefferson, corey brewer, carlos delfino, anderosn varajo, jonas jerebko, james harden, josh howard, augustine, sessons, bibby, rasual butler, kyle lowry, shaun livingston

I see the disconnect here. Look I hear you about Amir and the potential, that's all good, but I doubt his owner is as high on Amir as you. People oft make this mistake, overpaying when you don't have to. Scan his team over, see what stats he needs, make him an offer for Amir that excludes superstars an send an email telling him how the deal makes him better. Ya feel me?

I like it bro. Ink that deal.

Careful, Floyd movin up in the ranks

As if Belichicky would let anyone be his feature back from that group

But Jacobs will start in the red zone lol

I like u dealing DJax, I'm hearin he's limping. I'm not sold on Arian but many others are so it's a decent deal.

Oh man, I'm battin 1000 here. Last I heard he'd be ready for the first game. I still don't like McFadden, been there done that. Def downgrade bush tho.

I'd drop manningham n maroney, grab rice n Robinson if they're the best avail.

She is a rabid colts fan. She owns one of jeff Saturdays signed cleats. We watch AFC playoff games in silence (I'm a pats fan).

Honestly, I've not done much research aside from football but the top tier is CP3 an Durant an now that collison is on Indy, granger MIGHT get a bump.

I'm still in football mode. Soon enuff tho!!

Ahhhhhh Adrian Peterson? Seriously, I'm still in football mode with draft coming up Monday. Gimme some more time for basketball. One cheap sleeper I like is Roy Hibbert.

hey thief, here's a look at my team.flaccorice/mendenhallboldin/ochocinco/wardjohn carlsonjanikowskibaltimorebench=j. best, housh, j. harrison, massaquoi, sanchez, thomasreally didn't mean to draft the entire ravens team. what are some upgrades to target? thanks!

Absolutely love the kicker trick! Did it myself a few times.Also, when I would have one of the 1st nominations I would attempt something even more devious. There are 2 Adrian Peterson's in the league, but only one is top tier, so I would nominate AP #2 1st. Only worked once for me, but I did the wrong AP go for $55.

fingers crossed on that one haha

I hear ya…. I also like hibbert this year … now that murph is gone I think hibbert could be huge as well as millsap anthony randolph

Jerome Harrison is likely to be the Browns' clear-cut feature back this year with Montario Hardesty's season threatened by what's believed to be a torn ACL.The Browns have shown little confidence in Harrison as an every-down back, so owners should be sure to grab James Davis too. Still, Harrison will be an every-week RB2 play early in the season. Last year's down-the-stretch star has terrific matchups at Tampa Bay and versus Kansas City to kick off 2010. Harrison will be the ideal sell-high candidate thereafter, with Baltimore, Cincinnati, Atlanta, and Pittsburgh next on the slate.

NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora reports Ben Roethlisberger's suspension has been reduced from six games to four, as expected.Big Ben is headed back to Pittsburgh after meeting with commissioner Roger Goodell in New York Friday morning. Though reports indicated that Roethlisberger wanted to push for fewer than four games, the Steelers never believed that scenario to be a possibility. Dennis Dixon is a good bet to start all four games against the Falcons, Titans, Bucs, and Ravens before the Week 5 bye. Roethlisberger will take over in a Week 6 home game against the Browns.

I currently have Jerome Harrison and Michael Bush as my two backup RB. I'm thinking of dropping Bush since hes gonna be out for 4-6 weeks.Do I pick upAhmad BradshawThomas JonesLaDanian Tomlinson

Double post. Sorry.

That's just plain mean man! I love it!!

Try packaging rice n housh for AP. That'd be a steal!!

Duhhhh we knew all that lol!

Bradshaw, he'll have the most value the quickest.

First three rounds are solid, but Floyd n Palmer picked too soon. They should sleep a lil later.

http://www.sportshaze.com/nfl-pre-season-brandon-…/Bradshaw.

Any suggestions who I should pick ahead of them?

I saw a guy bid $65 on Adrian Peterson (Sea) ha ha! It works everytime Thief. Not our fault they cant read the fine print lol.

Haha! Guy are really trying to push this NBA kick. Coaches dont even know who their starters are yet lol.

Hahahaha, in silence, I love it. So when the Pats won their rings lady thief must have been very upset. Does she wear the cleats during the game for good luck? If she wears them during other extracuricular activity you would have to get a Brady helmet, even it out. I would love to be a fly on the wall when you are forced to watch the Colts. She is probably giving herslef air high fives as you sit in misery. I have assume you crack a smile when they are losing.

anyone have a spot to fill for a fantasy football league that hasn't drafted yet? mine looks like its gonna fall apart due to lack of interest unfortuunately. thx

aww man… i was looking for 1, but i JUST filled it… I'll let you know if anything opens up…

The curse strikes again lol. It better not happen to AP because that would stun a lot of people here.

Unfortunately I'm thinking Randy moss

Man Fred Taylor is like 45 yrs old man. Pats have no faith in their running back committee lol.

Hey morsk if you still got that spot open I'd like to join. If my it's cool

ack! maan… i JUST filled the spot within the last hour… lol

Bradshaw got picked up who should I pick up?

Thomas Jones — he's always outworked his competition to get the workload.

Yeah too much. Some other sleeper a couple of weeks later.

malcom floyds a FA, worth a spot on the bench?

Man why is Floyd on waivers first of all? I want in your league because i smell cupcakes lol.

no worries man, thx

what do you guys think the minimum number of people I would need to run my league in a standard Yahoo H2H Points format? right now I only have 7, maybe 8 at the most. I'd like to get 10, but would 8 be ok? Could I just add a few more players per team?If so, what kind of money would you guys recommend for starting auction amount per team?

why does AC just repost player notes from yahoo all the time?

Why not? It benefits us all without us having to go check every players notes all the time.

actually they're from Rotowire, a subscription site. So he is sharing news that is usually more insightful and detailed than yahoo, on his dime, so that we don't have to… You should thank him.

>:-O.

i don't know who was available?

rumor has it there's a picture of me after losing a bet with her, wearing a

Manning jersey while we watched a game on facebook. Worst lost bet ever!

agreed

absolutely – he's the #1 for Rivers now

to keep us in the loop – I love it!

seriously, he also does it like ASAP so we get news before 'the street'.

maybe he was being ironical – you know, Captain Obvious asking the obvious?

Hey thief… thanks for the advice yesterday just wanted to inform you that I did not accept the rose deal and actually have come out in front because of it I think I have got another offer I will most likely accept I give rose and budinger I get dwill and dj augustin

That's where I realized I messed up after a few rounds in. I should have kept a list of available potential picks each round. I will definitely do that during my next mock draft.

LMAO! That is so funny!! It makes my league was doing an auction draft.

Doing a little mediating thief? AC is the man for his updates.

MUCH better.

An I'll be here to help!!

I guess I was givin capt an out if he wanted to take it. I still remember reading ACs 3am update on CP3. That night goes down in fantasy sports infamy for me!

Chargers acquired WR Patrick Crayton from the Cowboys in exchange for a seventh-round pick in 2011.Kevin Ogletree will stick as Dallas' fourth receiver. Crayton, 31, isn't a downfield threat, but fits San Diego's revised offense well. Due to issues in pass protection, the Chargers are going to be more of a dink and dunk team, emphasizing possession-slot receivers like Crayton and Legedu Naanee while relying heavily on Antonio Gates over the middle. Crayton can also return punts. He's not on the fantasy radar, but should help the Chargers.

There goes AC… posting useful knowledge again… Geez AC! why! WHY, I SAY! I like Crayton to SD… he's good for a matchup play as he can drop 120/2td on you as easily as a goose egg. He certainly wasn't gonna get anything in the Bid D offense.I really hope VJax finds a home tho… his talent would be sorely missed from the player pool.

After speaking with Brandon Jacobs Friday morning, coach Tom Coughlin insisted that the Giants were still a "multiple running back" team."Nothing has changed," said Coughlin. "Brandon is as healthy as he’s ever been prior to start of season … So we're looking forward to the opportunity to play with a multiple running game and the ability to use our power back in combination with Ahmad and Danny Ware." Bradshaw has cemented his role as the "starter," but it may be premature to label him as a true feature back. Jacobs is going to stay heavily involved.

This as a Giants fan kills me, the Giants must be forgetting how awesome Brandon Jacobs was when he was healthy. For those of you who don't know Jacobs injured his knee in last years opener and played with the injury all year long.From February 5th 2010"Brandon Jacobs revealed Friday that he injured his knee in the Giants' 2009 opener and played through it for the entire year.He had the knee scoped last month. This likely explains the 27-year-old's severe decline in production, and perhaps his surprisingly low usage after GM Jerry Reese promised last offseason that Jacobs would be the team's clear featured back. Consider Jacobs a decent buy-low in keeper leagues."1089 yards on 219 attempts 5 YPC and 15 TD in 2008-09.I mean the dude averaged 5 yards per carry. What more do they want outta a RB?

This helps open the field for Floyd too.

The Giants organization is clearly fantasy unfriendly

I offered this guy Kellen Winslow+TJ Housh/Malcom Floyd/Hines Ward=Jermichael Finley. He counters with Jermichael Finley+Jeremy Maclin=Anquan Boldin. I'm thinking no, what do you think of this counterWinslow+Matt Ryan+Green Bay Defense=Finley+Eli Manning+49ers Defense?

I think u can get j mike +1 for boldin n that's REAL tempting

any word on TJ Houjamama and if/when he will get picked up? I drafted him on my squad…

Man my son was on his way the same night he delivered that news. And i remember watching my Bulls the same time he messed up that knee.

It's not from Yahoo, it's from Rotowire. Yahoo actually repost them from Rotowire too, but Aaron does it earlier

No word yet but I'm monitoring the Seahawks. My thoughts: if they grab no other WR, rheum they're screaming at us to grab mike Williams off ww's.

=)
