RG3 clearly has elite potential but his absolute ceiling for this season should be around top 5-10ish.

The largest jump in relative skill a football player will ever see in their career is going from NCAA to NFL.

Even if he has a better season than Cam "GOAT rookie season" Newton had last year, there are still plenty of QBs that have large sample sizes at this level that should be higher than him just because they have so much less downside than even the GOAT rookie.

I'm high on RG3, but when you have a guy like Romo who is consistently top 5-10(with top 3 upside), selling high on RG3 is a good idea to improve weakness'.

No need to hedge, you had well thought out opinions, good information that I didn't even know about, and you convinced me that it's a lot closer than I originally thought.

You didn't convince me that you're right and I'm wrong, but I feel like we're talking about some really small margins here.

Just traded Chris Johnson straight up for Forte... I have Spiller, Bush, and Pierre Thomas, and Jonathan Stewart. figured when Forte is back I can have him handcuffed and Johnson has been a mess. I wish it didn't go through before the weekend though, I have Vick starting over brady and for flex it's Randy Moss, Pierre Thomas, or pick someone like Santonio Holmes off the free agency...

Im debating trading him because his value is so high right now, especially in a 6 pt QB TD league, which I am in. The league is also .5 pt receptions, and I'm super thin at RB, but stacked at WR and I spent my late first round pick on Stafford, who I kind of have to roll with despite his first 2 games. Our league's flex spot is W/R/T, so I'm forced to choose between sitting Stafford and RG3 every week, otherwise I wouldn't even consider it.

Also, because of being in a 6pt QB TD league, I think I could get pretty great value for him, and I'm definitely hoping for better offers than Ryan Matthews. The only problem is that nobody is in dyer need of a starting QB bc nobody's gotten injured yet and I think the worst starting fantasy QBs in our league are probably Romo, Peyton & Vick.

So given this information, u can understand why I may have to try to trade RG3. Or do I roll with RG3 as the starting QB and try to trade Stafford (which sucks bc he's been bad the first 2 games but may not be that terrible since all my buddies are Lions homers and may overpay for him)?

good post and thanks for the explanation. I would trade Stafford and roll with RG3, but I mean, I'm a full blown homer. I also think I know a shit ton about Griffin compared to others, and I just don't see him falling off, at all (assuming Garcon gets back to 100%, that's his only legit weapon to open up the field)

In non-PPR, it would be Jordy with no question. In PPR, I think Marshall is the better option. How quickly we forget that Marshall had 100+ catches in 3 consecutive seasons in Denver while posting 6, 7, and 10 TDs.

Jordy had 68 catches last year...more of a deep threat without question, but 40 catches is 40 points...that would be a lot of yards or 6 TDs.

What's the best line for this roster in a 10 team non ppr league? Do I just hold onto all my RBs or try and swing a deal while their value is high for an upgrade at QB or WR2?
1 QB - Romo (A. Smith)
2 WR - Megatron, Lloyd (DJax, L. Robinson)
2 RB - Murray, Spiller (A. Brown, M. Bush, M. Turner)
1 TE - J. Graham (A. Hernandez)
1 Flex

Ogletree vs TB
Mcluster @ NO
Moss @ Min

Or pick somebody up. I actually like Mcluster but he is questionable himself. So go with Ogletree and hope he is more like week 1 than 2?

PPR

FA available

James Jones
Stephen Hill
Kendall Wright
Brandon Tate
Or Avant with Maclin out

Ogletree. TB just gave up +500 yards passing on them vs the Giants with Cruz and Nicks both going for about 200 and 10 catches a piece.

AP v SF or Ben Tate @ DEN?


start 1.......A Brown @ OAK, S Johnson @ CLE, K Smith @ TENN

start ap... he's A MOTHERFUCKING P.

I have a question about my 3rd receiver in 2 leagues. My team is pretty week at the 3rd receiver slot and not sure who to roll with

first decision is Heyward bey vs Steelers or Santonio vs the fins

my 2nd decision is

Boldin vs the pats
Mike williams vs the cowboys
stephen hill vs the fins

I agree, Im torn over it. FYI you were at a $1500 hi lo table I was at this summer. You stacked Below in an embarrassing situation for him. I was CL at the table but I lost alot of pots once you sat down so I didnt say HI

I look forward to Eli beating RG3 in the nfc title game in 2016 en route to his 4th or 5th ring.

It doesn't matter if your players are going against each other. Go with your best options.
