Pathetic first week for my team.  Eli was crap.  What was I thinking when I drafted him over Stafford and Flacco?  He's so overrated.

Free Agents:  Fitzpatrick, Henne, Doucet, Henderson, Cadillac Williams, Dickson, Gresham, Hartline, Grossman, Houston Defense

12 team h2h league, non-keeper, no PPR, standard settings.

QB Eli Manning
WR Miles Austin
WR Santonio Holmes
WR Jeremy Maclin
RB Jaamal Charles
RB Frank Gore
TE Jimmy Graham
BENCH  Robert Meachem, Daniel Thomas, Ryan Mathews, Jacoby Ford, Mark Sanchez, Braylon Edwards
K Nate Kaeding
DEF Detroit Lions

Charles, Gore, Austin, Holmes, & Maclin is a damn solid core. You should be fine over the course of the season.

I might think about adding Grossman to play next week against the Cardinals. If Cam Newton can travel across the country and throw for 400 yards on Arizona then I think Ole Rexy can torch 'em.

Make sure you drop Kaeding of course since he tore his ACL (Percy Harvin's a bad man).

Caddy is worth starting in most all leagues with Steven Jackson out, but I wouldn't start him ahead of Charles or Gore.

I dropped Detroit defense and Kaeding for Fitzpatrick and Caddy.  Now I have some time to decide who I really want to drop for a kicker and a defense. 

Daniel Thomas and Braylon?

I would've kept Detroit D. Especially with the Chiefs coming to town. I'd probably pickup Houston for right now and try to pick Detroit back up when they clear waivers. In general I hate defenses and dealing with them. I never start the right one.

Yeah, I'd drop both Thomas & Edwards.

blstuart, I don't think Percy Harvin is gonna be that bad of a man if the Vikes continue to throw it for 39 yards lol. I have Eli, Collins, and Cam Newton (I picked him back up). Who to start this week?!?! Eli, Cam, or Kerry? My thought is Eli again just because Cam has to go against the Pack

If you have an extra spot available on your bench then he's a good hold. Looked better than Deangelo Williams week 1.

I hope you didn't drop Daniel Thomas this weekend.I have him as well, and was pleasanty surprised to see him get all the carries and over 100 yards on Sunday. He was a high draft pick and expected to contribute, even if he needs to learn a thing or two about pass blocking. Reggie Bush never will be an every down back and can't run between the lines.

Looks like you lost Charles this weekend and hope you were quick enough to pick up Thomas Jones. If he's available, I woulda picked up Jones and Mccluster to see who emerged, but Jones is a good bet.

Meachem will work as a replacement for Austin this week. Get rid of Jacoby Ford. He's not even gonna play for a couple of weeks.
