fantasy football advice please:

-what do we think of wr deandre hopkins for houston??

this trade offer depends on those opinions

trade offered to me


I get:

qb matt ryan
wr hakeem nicks
wr hopkins


i give:
qb phillip rivers
rb demarco murray


-the catch is its a keeper league. i can keep hopkins for the next 5 years for basically nothing, hes probably the most valuable keeper this year

already loaded at wr and both my flex spots but byes are approaching

rbs are weak, i have:

powell (jets)
mcfadden and his backup (oak)
rodgers and snelling (atl)
helu jr (was)
(demarco murray (dal)

I don't know your full roster but I'd say do it if you don't think you can compete for the championship this year. If you do think you can compete and make the trade, I think you're pretty much screwed with those RBs. I'd try to flip a receiver if you're going to go through with this.

From the standpoint of a keeper league though, Matt Ryan is light years ahead of Rivers, and Hopkins looks like he'll be really good as well. Not sure if he'll become a #1, but with Andre there, he'll always have someone to take pressure off him. Nicks looks like he's in a bad situation but he could be interesting because it looks like he could be traded. Could you imagine if he got traded to Detroit (who are looking for a WR)? His value would go through the roof.

Murray is very valuable in keeper leagues, but you also have to look at his injury history. Nicks is injury-prone as well, but Ryan and Hopkins are still very nice pieces without him.

Yes or no answer: do it.

Andy Reid. It's only week 6 yet he's already won more games than the Chiefs did all last season and has looked pretty convincing doing it.

Potential candidate for Coach of the Year?

If the Bears lose tonight, I'm throwing in the towel and boycotting the rest of the season.

Throw in the towel? It would have been 3-3 least you aren't a Giants fan 0-6. I'm not a Giants fan either but following them because I have Cruz and Nicks

****ing Bears, ugh. McClown looked ok, but the sad thing is that Cutler will be back after the bye week.

[butthead aka 216]

bears have a tough road ahead with cutler out and honestly you just dont expect them to give up those kinda point to a redskins team which really hasnt looked good this yr

thanks to calvin for winning me my fantasy matchup with a huge day lol

Looks like 4-6 weeks for Cutler.
