OK i made a bet with my friend if i beat him this week he willl give me tiki barber for free, if he wins im givin him peyton manning for free. heres my lineup: peyton manning, santana moss, muhsin muhammad, keyshawn johnson, frank gore, warrick dunn, desmond clark, and M. jones drew. and on my bench i have thomas jones, jeremy shockey (bye week) jake delhomme and laurence malroney. is there any changes i should make in that line up? ( jones drew is in the position where you can put an extra running back or wide reciever) thank you very much.

Your lineup is fine except for Frank Gore. You should replace him with Laurence Maroney. Gore will probably not play after his injury last week. Thomas Jones isn't a good play against the formidable Seattle Seahawks defense. Good luck.

Ignore everyone that says Gore is hurt, he is, but not out for the game (Bruised Ribs), the reason to bench Gore is because he might lose goaline touches. That being said, I wouldn't start Malroney either going into Cincy. Start looking for Michael Robinson, (vs Chiefs and could take away Gore's goaline touches), Maurice Morris (vs Bears, last option), Jason Wright/Reuben Droughns (vs Oakland, could have a good game or this could be a 6-3 type of game).
Really, i can't believe you would offer Manning against Barber. Barber, other than Alexander and maybe Larry Johnson, are two of the worst picks in the top 5 this year. (Barber went third, Alexander first, and Johnson second in my league) Hell, I wouldn't put Gore against Barber at this point.
WR - Look for Greg Jennings of GB. He could have an awesome game against a weak Philly secondary. Especially with the power of the Philly Offense, the love of the pass (they throw 65% of the the time), and Green Bays lack of defense it could be a fantasy juggernaut.

bet like that would get you banned from decent leagues, but.... But, given that you're 0-3 and likely out of it anyways...what the hell.
Don't swap Jones for Gore just yet...Jones against seattle isn't a good play and Gore may not be hurt that bad. Wait until Friday to make that play...
WR??? I'd go for potential and take moss and muhammad. Johnson is possession receiver so unless you get points for catches he's not going to do it for you.
Malroney is a part-timer and sure to break your heart if either of other two play full time and you lose.

I think you have a pretty damn good lineup there. Shockeys due for a big game (yes im a heart-broken Giant fan!) , but, yeah, theres the bye week.
I would never put in Delhomme over Peyton Manning either, unless its a bye week for the Colts.
Good picks though!

Pretty good lineup, but watch the matchups your players have. As mentioned eariler your Bears players may have a tough week against a Seattle defense, and Grossman was not that great last week. If your WR's QB isn't doing well, how's he gonna get the ball? Other than that it looks pretty good. Of course it all depends on who your buddy has and who his guys are playing.
Good luck.

See if you can find replacement for the Bears players you have. I thought Clark was hurt and Muhammad isn't playing all that great. Besides that I like you chances, especially with Manning killing the Jets this week!!!

That is a sick team. Definilty play Laurence Maroney ( Corey Dillion is "questionable" as he hurt his knee last week) as he should get 30+ carries. You have to chose your QB, RB, and WR depending on what team those players are playing; if they are playing a team with a good defense, sit him that week and play him the next week.
Good Luck

Naw I wouldn't take that bet. Peyton is your score maker right now and I bet he scores more in the long run that barber. Get deep with good solid RB's and you should be fine.

Word is Matt Leinart might start for the Cardinals this week. As their running game is only Edgerrin who, he might manage 50-60 yards, so I'm looking for lots of yards from Matt & the Cardinals to keep losing.

I'd get rid of Keyshawn and find another receiver who is more consistent.
