Looks like Schaub has his work cut out for him now, since Ryan decided to make the Raven's pass defense look like our pass defense.

I started Ryan with Rivers on a bye, I was worried about this game agains the Ravens, man was I pleasantly suprised by that performance.

One of the guys in my league is super rich at WR (Nicks, AJ, Lloyd, Tampa Mike, R. Moss) and hurting at RB. His team has done well but is fighting it out for a playoff spot with three other teams.

Should I try and trade away my RB depth in Hillis for one of those guys? Fwiw I have both Foster and CJ3 handcuffed with Ward and Ringer.

I would, I have faith in both your handcuffs to be reliable fantasy starters should the need arise. Make sure you get a good WR if you give up Hillis though.

He's offered me AJ for Hillis straight up. That would give me some studly receivers but I will lose crucial depth at rb and the ability to play the matchups.

Stick with some combination of Floyd or Evans at WR3, or pull the trigger and get AJ?

As much as I hate trading away a stud RB, I think this would give you the best chance to win your league. It's definitely a risky move though, good luck!

IDK if this has been asked yet so, with QB Rivers on a bye week, should I start Garrad against the Texans?

I've got Garrard starting for Rivers in 2 of my 3 leagues. As much as I hate to say it, I think he is going to shred our secondary pretty good.

Took the deal, but tweaked it a bit. He gave me AJ + Beanie Wells and I gave him Hillis + Lee Evans. I felt great about it because it gave me some minimum depth at RB and a proven stud receiver.

Of course, I took the deal about an hour before I heard the latest news from Minnesota. Percy Harvin unexpectedly is now doubtful for Sunday! Fuuuuudge.

With the loss of Evans, I now have no other option at receiver due to Floyd and Jacoby Ford being on bye. I've jumped out to a big lead on my opponent thanks to Roddy White killing it for me and Michael Turner sucking for him, but he has some solid matchups remaining....namely, Garrard, Mike Thomas, and Lewis against our cheesecloth defense. And to make matters worse, I am starting Favre for Rodgers. Favre without Harvin or Rice? Ruh roh.

I cannot imagine a better WW option exists. Garrard is a must start.

Dez Bryant or Lee Evans?

Dez. Lee Evans is a feast/famine player. The Giants should destroy the Cowboys but Kitna will find Dez and throw him the ball.

Dez is kinda boom or bust as well but is starting to produce consistently. I worry about that Giants D pass rush bothering Kitna back there, that's the only reason it's not a no-brainer to me.

Right now I've got Moreno and Hillis starting over Best and T. Jones (KC). Keep it that way?

Also, I have Holmes, M. Williams (TB, and has been studly lately), and Wayne starting but I have this Randy Moss guy lurking in the shadows. Keep it?

If you put Moss in I would only do it over Holmes, keep the other two fo sho. I'd probably keep the RB's the way you have them, without knowing their matchups. Who are they playing?

Hillis vs NYJ
Moreno vs KC
Best vs BUF
Jones vs DEN

I think I'll wait on Moss for a week to see what he does.

I'd go Moreno, and then Hillis/Jones is a toss up. I am just not sure how they have been performing though, I have been kind of laser focus on my team only.

Jones has been up and down but Hillis has been monstrous the last few games. Going with the "Don't sit your studs" rule.

Should I start Brandon Marshall or Mike Wallace?

Wallace has been very good since Big Ben has been back, but Marshall has the most upside. Marshall could get me 20 or he could get me 3.

Thoughts?

Pennington tightened up the Silly Bandz in his shoulder and is making the start today. I'd probably stick with Wallace since I doubt the pats are going to harry Big Ben as much as the Titans are going to terrorize Penningtonstein.

I would have a hard time benching Hillis, even against the Jets.

Denver and Buffalo rank 31 and 32 against the run respectively so there is a lot of upside there. I also have a feeling Moreno gets it done today (hopefully). Lots of good options for you, I would probably go with Jones and Hillis.
