Not really...all you really need is like...4 or 5 catches for 60+ or so, right? It's PPR.
I think you'll get it.

Its tough b/c Ben is banged up and it's a real tough D. I think it's a solid sweat for both of you guys, it really could go either way.

Though nothing personal I have to admit I'm rooting for sike for selfish reasons, I want both the undefeateds to lose so I"m only one game back from them. :P

So far Hines Ward: 1 point
Flaco has to be feeling pretty good about 4-0 right now.

Nice Job Flacolaco!
I bet you were like, WTF when it went to OT and the Steelers were getting the ball.
Sweats can be fun and painful to watch. You got the nice side of it tonight.

I'm just happy that I played sike this week. My point total was crap, and would have got beat by the majority of the league.

If u2 starts Maroney and Roy Williams, I think Flaco will go down this week.
(oh and drop Tom Brady)

Would you really drop Brady in a keeper league? I've been trying to figure out what I would do in U2's shoes (and if I would claim him if he dropped him).
It's not a no brainer in a league with only four bench spots, but in a 12 team keeper league with two starting QB slots, I'm pretty sure I'd keep Brady tucked on my bench all season.
I think I might be in favor of adding an injury reserve slot on the rosters, but only to be used on someone that is actually on IR and out for the year.

I dunno. I mean realistically speaking he's out of contention this season. Looking at his roster, I have a hard time imagining who his third keeper is if he drops Brady.
I think he's doing the right thing.

BTW, let such say SON OF A &%$%$% to Mendenhal being out for the season. I do the prudent thing by drafting and stashing my handcuff on a team that runs the ball a ton. Then Parker gets hurt to I feel justified, and now this.
*sigh*

How long is Parker going to be out anyway?
That is about to be hurting me big time in sike's league.

Steelers have been very vague, but I'm pretty sure he's out again this week, maybe longer.

Yeah, there was so much hype regarding Mendenhall heading into the season. I'm glad you drafted him right before I would have in our keeper league =]

I made a trade in my main league today (a slightly QB heavy league in terms of scoring): gave up Ronnie Brown and Calvin Johnson in exchange for Peyton.
So now my roster looks something like this:
QB - Peyton
RB - S-Jax
RB - Addai
WR - Andre Johnson
WR - Steve Smith
W/R - Michael Turner
TE - Winslow Jr.
K - Crosby
D - Minnesota/Green Bay
BN - Rodgers
BN - Dwayne Bowe
BN - Steve Slaton
BN - Jonathan Stewart
BN - Owen Daniels

wtf? is this an 8 team league?
SJAX, Addai, Andre, S-Smith.
You weren't sold on Rodgers? You gave up a decent amount for Manning whose battered O-Line has caused him to suck.

Yeah, is that an 8-team league? That roster is stacked!
You paid a pretty big price for Peyton. Are you worried that Rodgers has a separated shoulder?

I've been keeping an eye on Boldin, I DOUBT he plays this week, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did though. I would say out probably 1 week.
Parker, probably out next week and maybe an additional one. They said he's week to week, so it seems like it's not a lock to be back any time soon.

I dunno...if you go by our scoring, Forte has him beat. Plus they have the same amount of TDs.

And...he's mine. mine mine mine
He IS the Chicago Bears offense, he does it all, except throw. They should probably look into that with Forte.

8 team league, but the roster is pretty stacked even given that. I got some great values on some of my picks (Smith in the 6th round, Turner in the 7th).
Rodgers injury concerns me, but I also wanted to trade while Brown's value was at an all time high and while Peyton's was at a low. IMO, Peyton is going to be a whole lot better in the coming weeks as his O-line heals and meshes. Rodgers should be solid for the rest of the year if healthy, but I bet Peyton ultimately ends up with quite a few more points. Also, keep in mind that my league favors QB's. They get the full 6 pts for passing TD's, standard yardage points, and .1 points per completion. So, in that sense, Peyton is worth more relative to Brown than he might be in a normal league.
As it was, I'm not sure how often I was going to play Brown. Yeah, he's quite good, and he had an amazing week, but I'm definitely not going to sit S-Jax or Addai in favor of Brown, and my hunch is that Turner will generally prove to be more reliable. Same goes for Calvin--rarely, if ever, would I play him over Steve Smith, and I expect Andre to start producing soon.
So, it was really a situation where I had two valuable guys sitting on my bench who I was rarely going to use. I tried to low-ball the guy a bit (first offering Brown + Derek Anderson, then Brown + Dwayne Bowe), but he wasn't interested. Ultimately, I just wanted to shore up my QB position, and I didn't even have to give up any of my regular starters to do it. I think I made the right call, but what do ya'll think?
One last thing to note: this trade was to the guy who is currently 7th in the league, so I didn't hand over Brown to somebody who already has a great roster.

Here's a terrible decision I have to make....
Kerry Collins @ Baltimore (with Justin Gage likely out, his favorite target)
Or
Kyle Orton @ Detroit. (with Brandon Lloyd likely out, his favorite target)
Ugh.
