Was offered Julio Jones & BenJarvus Green-Ellis for Percy Harvin & Cedric Benson.

PPR league....thoughts?


Benson catches more passes out of the backfield, but Green Ellis gets more rushing yards.


I don't know the pass catches, but Jones has more yards and TD's than Harvin.


I'd say it's a pretty good trade for you. But I am not an expert

I jump in it.

For now, Jones and Harvin are nearly a wash. Jones is with the better team and should produce more TDs, but he has to share targets with White and Gonzalez. Harvin will produce fewer TDs, but will make up for that by being the main target and playing for a team that should be behind a lot and throwing the ball more. Jones will probably score a few more total points and have bigger weeks than Harvin, but Harvin should prove to be more steady from one week to the next.

I've been on the Benson bandwagon this year, but I see Green-Ellis as an upgrade. Benson had great value in the draft as a late-round pick - a guy who's getting the bulk of the carries for his team and some goalline work, I see him as a better option than many of the time-share guys that were drafted ahead of him. He has been given the ball a decent amount this year, but you can hardly count on him in many instances because Green Bay would rather throw the ball and if they can win without running it, they will. Green-Ellis on the other hand plays for a team that does have some very good options in the pass game, but they need to run the ball to survive. Provided they are both healthy, I think Green-Ellis will far exceed Benson for touches and will outscore him too.

If you were being offered a time-share guy, I'd think twice about it. Green-Ellis is not in that situation at this point though.

Nice write up. I accepted the trade.

WTF is wrong with Cam Cameron... he's [censored]ing up the rotation can't believe the lack of TDs by Rice this year... thank the lord i'm in a ppr league...

Unfortunately I'm in a standard one so Rice last night was a HUGE disappointment. On a separate note do I start Steve Johnson or BJGE at my flex this week? After the Rice performance (9.6) I need ALL the points I can get. Johnson is projected to get about 17 with Green-Ellis at around 11.

PPR league,
D Bryant vs chicago(h)
Or
D. Moore vs Denver(a) - likely vs champ bailey

I'm torn on this one. I see the cowboy game as low scoring and dez isn't reliable. Oak will throw more, but Moore will lock up with champ bailey.


I'm leaning Moore, but am lost on that one.
Damn I need a receiver.

Just got offered Peyton Manning & Desean Jackson for Matt Ryan. I have Welker & Demaryius Thomas as WRs but I have a flex to stash Jackson in.....and my RBs are Chris Johnson, McFadden, and Michael Bush. CJ has already found his ass on my bench, so I have a TD vulture as a starting RB and you KNOW McFadden is going down some time in the next 3 weeks.

I'm still leaning no though. I like Matt Ryan too much.

Ced Benson vs New Orleans

or

DeMarco Murray vs Chicago


Saints give up the most RB PPG in FFL, Chicago gives up the 3rd least.

I fully expect this game to be a shootout so personally I'd roll with Murray. Benson doesn't bring much to the passing game. I do have Murray on my team so I may be biased.

Brees against GB @ GB

or

Gabbert against Cincy @ Jacksonville

??

I have this feeling Brees will be going against a fried up GB defense.
On top of the fact he's been rather streaky.

Meanwhile, Cincy's defense is just...fucking awful. Thoughts?
