Trade doesn't do much for me because Martin has been disappointing as well and Tampa's offense is kind of in shambles now.  Based on production through 4 weeks, Martin is only a slight upgrade over CJ and I'd say it's practically an even swap. 1 for 1 trades don't seem to happen very often in fantasy though, so if you're going to throw Kap in (who has a really high fantasy ceiling) then you need to get someone else in return to even things out a bit.  You'd basically be giving Kap away for free, imo.

Pick 3 WR

Cruz @ KC
Garcon @ Oak
Boldin @ StL
Torrey Smith @ Buf
K. Thompkins @ Atl

cruz, boldin, smith, imo

I ended up going with Cruz, Garçon, Smith. Garçon has been extremely consistent for me while everyone else was sort of boom or bust.

Naturally, when Boldin put 20 on the board on thur, I was kicking myself in the ass, but  I had great matchups with all 5 and all 5 of them performed really well.  Best combo would have been Cruz, Thompkins, Smith.  Didn't matter which 3 I played, I beat my opponent by 70. Thompkins has had 2 really good weeks in a row now. I may have to consider starting him sooner or later.

The Bucs play easier Defenses than the Titans do. They come out of the bye playing the Eagles. Johnson has done nothing for me. I'm sitting him this week and starting Richardson because the Rams are playing the Jags. Gonna start Fred Jackson Thursday vs. the Browns.

I'd still try and get him to throw another player in to even things out a bit.  If you make the trade as is, it wouldn't be the worst trade ever. I just think its pretty meh.

i'd do it just because you have brady and martin is an upgrade

Opinions on this trade needed:

I'd get Doug Martin (Tampa has a bye this week)

I'm giving:
Chris Johnson (has been awful this year)
Colin Kaepernick


I'll just pick up another QB when Brady has a bye.

Given that you're going to be starting Brady pretty much no matter what, I think it's an okay trade.  Kap isn't worth much to you and Martin is a better back in a better situation.   So do it.

If you can get the other guy to throw in whoever he's going to be cutting to make room for Kap, that's all the better.  You may still cut that player but it gives you first shot at him without waivers.

It's not a guy it's a girl and she wouldn't pull the trigger on Martin.

I have 2 spots open and have 3 RBs

Chris Johnson vs. The Chiefs D
Daryll Richardson vs. The Jags D
Freddie Jackson vs. the Browns D


I leaning towards Richardson and Jackson. Richardson sucks but the Rams run D is ranked dead last. Spiller is having ankle problems, the Browns run D is decent.

Chris Johnson has done squat all season and the Chiefs D is pretty good.

Thoughts?

Ha, a woman jerked you around.  Who woulda thunk it.

She's girl P in my dog story. You're welcome for letting you know that.

I'm dropping Chris Givens in favor of Nate Washington. Givens has blown this season.
