How did everyone do?  2 Teams finish 1-0  and 1 goes 0-1< Got beat up by Brady and Moss
 
Ok Should be a lot to look at with key free agents. If Mike Bell wasn't picked up before last week...you can forget it now. I tried telling you guys I think he is going to be the guy running the ball (even when Pierre Thomas is healthy )
 
Free agent WR's to look at Chansi Stuckey #2 WR in Jets offense. 4 catches 64 yards 1TD. Could be a one week wonder.
 
Looks like McGahee is going to pirate some of Ray Rice's goal line carries.
 
Ok throw in whatever you want to discuss roster moves, lineup questions and will solicit opinions from the forum

Heap/Daniels going forward? Matchup play this week: Sea D@SF or ATL D vs. Car?  I have Jets D also but can't play them vs. NE.

personally, not a fan of Mason -- I'd shoot for one of the other 2 but it'd likely take more than Matt Hasselbeck.

What were you doing w/ 3 QBs on your roster?  No FA WRs out there?

KQC - I have the same dilemma need a D this week have Jets and agree not starting them here. I'm looking at Atl or some other options. Seattle defense looked good against Rams, may fair well again against 49ers...not avaialble for me.
 
My opinion is very negative on Heap...Guy always seems to get injured when I have him him on my teams. Great 1st week performance though. Texans should improve were tested in week #1 by a Rex Ryan D. I probably stand pat with Daniels myself.
 
Yeah nba... I think Hasselbeck will be a top 10 QB this season. I think you should be able to get better than old man Mason. I would try the counter and see if you can land Ward or R Williams. Personally I think I like him over Romo and Eli going forward

haha.. I have Hasselbeck also and someone just dropped a top-10 projected QB.  Too bad I have to look into a replacement D for the Jets this weekend before making a move on the QB.

Can't even believe I am going to ask this in a PPR league who do you pick?
 
Turner home to Carolina
 
or Addai @ Miami
 
 
Westbrook... is the other starter.

I would lean Turner but with Peyton running out of trustable weapons I think Addai should stay on the field more

my question
gimme your thoughts on Cadillac or M.Bush - waiver options
and
which defense would you lean towards for the rest of the season, defense gets us good pts so I am thinking of backing up my SD D and playing the matchups

Packers
Jets
Seahawks - I like their division

Wow this thread is off and running on a Tuesday... Free agent signing day
 
utvols- I think I play Campbell out of those choices...the Rams showed to offensively challenged ..shocker. 170 yards passing and 77 on the ground. Redskins should see a lot of time of possession. May even get a QB keeper TD with Campbell.
 
Garrard and Jax should play ball control much like they did against Indy... so I doubt Garrard will have huge numbers.
 
Not sure what to expect out of Buffalo with a short week and a game they played toe to toe with NE...think I would pass here too.
 
 
Homegrown- Looks like the Raiders are planning to run the ball with lack of experience in WR corps. Bush pirated a TD one of which I thought would have been a McFadden. Very confused on the dynamics of TB ground game Ward/Williams/Graham... probably better not to be involved.
 
#1 Jets
#2 Seahawks
#3 Packers
 
in that order

Have Jennings(vs Cincy), Bowe (vs Oak), Marshall (vs Cle) and Burleson (vs. SF) -- Jennings is obvious and Bowe alost -- who between Marshall/Burleson? Or should I go another combo?

NBA trading Hass is only going to make your opponents better.  I don't think that Mason upgrades your WRs but it makes your opponents QB better.  If you can get Roy Williams go for it but beyond that just enjoy the depth!  I wish I had your depth.  LOL!

KQC - I think I would ride Burleson at this point and wait to see a Marshall appearence.
 
utvols- I don't think Chad has really ever been a great Fantasy QB...He just kind of manages the game. Dolphins offense has showed me nothing to believe they will be dynamic this season, but I have Ginn on my bench if they prove me wrong.

utvols - there are quarterbacks who win championships and there are qb's who win fantasy leagues, it looks like you got neither in the 2 you mention however I will say Campbell will have mediocre fantasy numbers once all is said and done but I think he can have some great games start him with confidence this week

2 RB 2 WR 1 Flex

RB: S Jax @ Was, LJ vs. Oak, Kevin Smith vs. Minn, LT and Sproles vs. Bal, Bell @ PHIL

WR: White vs. Car, Royal vs. Cle, Hester vs. Pitt, Desean vs. NO

Lots of ??? on my team after just week 1 

Not mention a last second loss as Sproles (on my bench) gets the carries over LT (on THE bench) and I lose by 2 points
