Pricer's Picks - Week 4

[Zorro]

Hey Price, I am wondering who you would rather have for the rest of the season??

1pt for 10 yards rushing and receiving.. 6pt for TD..

D.Brown(IND)
or
R.Williams(ARI)

I already asked some of these questions in other threads, but I'm hoping you've got some input for me!

14 team league and we start QB, 2x RB, 3x WR, Flex, TE, D and 6 Bench spots
Scoring:
Pass 1/25, TD=4, INT= -2
Rush/Receiving 1/10, TD=6,
100+ Rush: 4 points
100+ Receiving: 2 points

Roster (Highlighting my normal starters):
QB: Rivers, Locker
RB: McCoy, SJax, Green-Ellis, R Williams, J Best
WR: AJ Green, Stevie Johnson, Torrey Smith, LaFell, Heyward-Bey
TE: Pitta, O Daniels
D: Bengals (playing the matchups)

My questions:
1. Drop Heyward-Bey? Available: Hill (W), Sanders (W), Blackmon (W), Robinson, Binns, Stokley, Walter. The ones with a (W) were released today so on the waiver until friday. I am ranked #4 now, so dont want to spend my rank on any of them.

2. Trade a RB+WR for a better WR? Better RB? Alot of the other teams are pretty desperate for RBs, so going for a WR would probably be easier.

3. Just stay put?

I'd appreciate any feedback you've got for me!

So who do I pick up? Binns now and see if I can replace him with Blackmon on friday?

Who do I try to move in a trade? Torrey Smith should have inflated value right now, so I'm considering him +BenJarvus for a WR1 like Julio Jones, Andre Johnson etc.

[Zorro]

I think you have good enough WR's to not have to worry so much about your WR position.. I would wait and see how long Heyward Bay is out before I make any rash decisions..

AJ Green, Stevie Johnson, Torrey Smith, LaFell is pretty solid!!

I would focus more on getting better at RB..
I would offer up BJGE or S.Jax and one of your WR for a RB you think you could acquire..

[Zorro]

I love this thread, love chatting some football!! Thanks PRICE!!

I would of course love an upgrade on RB, but most of the others have just 1 maybe 2 starters. They spent their first rounds on WRs, QBs, TEs etc while I loaded up on RBs. I have already traded away McGahee+ for Stevie Johnson+, and really think I've got a better shot at getting someone like Julio Jones for GreenEllis + Torrey Smith than a RB.

That way I could start McCoy+Sjax on RB, Julio+AJ+Stevie on WR and still have Ryan Williams, LaFell, Best (when he returns) to use as backups and in the flex position.

[Zorro]

Julio Jones for GreenEllis + Torrey Smith........ Ummmmmmm YES, do this if you can, wow..

[ynotzz]

not 100% sure it can be done, but I think I've got a better shot at that than getting a clear cut upgrade on RB.

The other teams all have 2-3 good WR's but most only have 1 good RB. Also, which RB's would be an upgrade? I could never get Foster or Rice, Forte is injured, could maybe get CJ.2K but not sure I want him....dont think I can get MJD or McFadden, so that leaves me with people like Murray, Matthews, Richardson, Lynch, Peterson or maybe Reggie Bush. Are they worth giving up GreenEllis and Torrey?

[Matt Price]

Wow thanks for all the responses! It isn't even Thursday yet!

I'll be answering as many of these as I can tonight and tomorrow morning and then the column will be out sometime on Friday.

[Zorro]

Price:

Would you start Jennings(GB) or Austin(DAL) in week 4??

1pt for receiving yards and 6pt for TD

[ynotzz]

Which of my RB's do I try to move? I dont think I will get fair value for Ryan Williams yet (was just offered Santonio Holmes straight up...), so I'll be keeping him. McCoy is also off the table.

That leaves me with SJax and Green-Ellis. I know SJax has a tough matchup this weekend, but who do you prefer going forward?

[Big Ben]

Hi Guys!
I have to decide today which one of these 3 I DON'T start... Help me!

Benson vs NO
Sproles vs GB
T.Smith vs Cleveland

10 yards= 1 pt
1 TD = 6 pts

Thanks!

[ynotzz]

always fun to have a player in the thursday night game! Sproles is the must start and Benson might be stuck as a blocker while Rodgers and Brees fights it out in the air. I would sit Benson.

[Matt Price]

Thanks...took Ponder....Do you think Ponder will be a reliable QB2 thru-out season in a 10 team 2QB league?

I do think that. They get Jerome Simpson back this week which will give them a deep threat that will create more room for Harvin underneath and open up some running lanes for AP
