Fantasy Football Advice

Had 7th pick in 12 team league. In order:

Only start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 D. No flex, no kicker

Calvin Johnson
DeMarco Murray
Adrian Peterson
Wes Welker
Michael Vick
Jermaine Gresham
Baltimore

Bench

Jay Cutler
Cedric Benson
Kenny Britt
Darrius Heyward-Bey
Isaac Redman



Kind of like the squad. A lot riding on Vick and Murray though, Thoughts?

14 teams league. PPR. Picked 3rd.

QB - Ben Roethlisberger
RB - LeSean McCoy
RB - Fred Jackson
WR - Dez Bryant
WR - Jeremy Maclin
WR - Larry Fitzgerald
TE - Vernon Davis
W/T - Coby Fleener
K - Nate Kaeding
DEF - Detriot Lions

Bench =
QB - Christian Ponder
RB - Doug Martin
RB - Ryan Williams
WR - Alshon Jeffery
WR - Eddie Royal
WR - David Nelson


Thoughts?
I decided to go with the playmakers route and wait on a QB. Started to get thin so I jumped on Big Ben, but then waited to long to get a backup. I'll for sure keep an eye on the waivers though. Try to find a decent #4 WR for when my main ones have a bye. But I feel pretty confident in my team. Projected to get the most points this week.

I had a guy propose a trade for Roddy White yesterday. A trade in which I didn't even look at, and declined. He wanted to trade DeSean Jackson for Roddy White straight up. Couldn't do that. He's a huge Falcons fan and knew he would give up something a little more significant..

So I countered with Roddy White for Ryan Matthews and DeSean Jackson, just to see what he'd do/say. He declined that offer and sent another offer back to me. This time, it was an offer I couldn't refuse.

Ryan Matthews and DeSean Jackson

for

Felix Jones and Roddy White

My team just got better. I may still trade Jackson (for a better WR)

it is..but who do I drop?

Meachem, Greg Little, Heyward-Bay, or Owen Daniels?

thinkin Greg is this obvious choice

That's tough... Really depends on how well Weeden is able to spread the ball around. I'd probably hang on to Little and hope Amendola doesn't have a monster year. (he shouldn't)

Deep league, but it looks like a really solid squad. Fleener could have a huge year, IMO.

Thoughts on this proposed trade?

Give: WR Nelson, WR Baldwin

Get: WR Colston, RB Royster

This league has a ton of teams with worse starting RB situations than mine, so I could stay put and just lean on my talented WRs. Washington is so iffy for backs but I'm pretty thin.
starting lineup & bench said:
QB Rivers
RB Beanie
RB Sproles
WR Green
WR C Johnson
WR Nelson *
W/R Nicks
TE Keller
D NYG
K Hanson

Bench
QB Big Ben
WR Lloyd
WR Holmes
WR Baldwin*
TE Gresham
D Green Bay

haha, it was an auction draft. I spent big on Colston, kept Green (& Sproles), then spent again on Nicks, Nelson & Lloyd.

There was little to spend on RBs (and very little available), so I figured I'd load up on WRs since I could start 4.

thanks for the advice. that was my initial reaction but I was wavering
