Answer 1

Keep Gore.

Your WRs are middle of the road and underproducing, but that should change, and there is plenty of free agent talent in your league.

It's not a bad trade, but in general it is good to keep RB depth, and RB for a WR trades straight up aren't worth it.

Troy Williamson is worth a flyer. He's been targeted by Johnson far more than any other WR on that team, and he returns kicks.

I personally would rather have Greg Jennings over Cotchery. Green Bay falls behind a lot, and has to throw. Driver gets a double teamed a lot.

Go with Winslow this week. The Raiders are awful. LJS might be okay, but he's not completely healthy. Philly seems to be all about Westbrook right now.

Answer 2

youre better off keeping Gore. Rbs are hard to come by. Especially ones that are as good as Gore this yr. I like Jennings and Reggie Brown off your free agent list. Both will get the ball coming their way in the up coming weeks. If you look at Antonio Bryant he does have alot of yeards but those are from two deep passes. All the catches before those to long catches were for within 20 yrds. He is at average a 4-6 catch 50 - 75 yrd per game receiver. When all is said and done Gore will be so much better for your team

Answer 3

No I wouldn't make that trade just for the fact that if gore doesn't perform it will affect bryant. you have solid rb's and should get better value for gore i'd make a trade with a team in desperate need of a rb. Jennings is a good pick up he's clearly emerged as the #2 wr in gb and you know they'll constantly be passing. as far as te's you have 3 in essential and should trade lj smith for a consistent wr is need to while his value is still high.

Answer 4

You receiving corps is unfortunate, but I still would hold onto that 4th good RB if possible.

check for these wrs if possible
-lloyd
-darr jackson
-coles
-isaac bruce
-matt jones
-lee evans

When you consider adding or dropping a player, go to http://www.cbs.sportsline.com and find the players page, then read the fantasy analysis for that player. Here's Cotchery's, for example:

"Fantasy Analysis
Cotchery has been a trendy pick off the waiver wire after being a a nice target for Chad Pennington early on in the season. His biggest play was an 18-yarder. Cotchery is certainly worth owning in larger formats, but he is only a recommended starter in Week 4 vs. Indianapolis as a No. 4 WR in leagues with 12-plus teams or as a low-end flex option.
(Updated 09/24/2006)."

Read the ones for toomer and colston too. Looking at past performance is ok, but anybody can have a good couple of weeks. You need to read expert analysis on players to find out which ones are worth owning. The cbs.sportsline thing is a good tool. Also, ESPN player cards show what % of leagues where a player is owned. Here's two shortcuts. Where it says "player's name" put the player's name there...

At google, put in... cbs.sportsline player's name... then hit I'm feeling lucky. Or, put in player's name player card and hit I'm feeling lucky

Answer 5

Keep Gore and try to pick up a WR off the free agent list.

Start L.J. Smith

Answer 6

You might need to get more for Gore than Bryant.

I'd start Winslow and drop Smith to pick up another RB or WR.

Answer 7

keep gore. pick up other wr's if available.

start lj smith
