Auction draft, $200 starting cash. half a PPR. pretty standard rules.
13 teams.

QB: Matt Ryan
RB: Marshawn Lynch
WR: Victor Cruz
Flex: Matt Forte
Flex: Hakeem Nicks
TE: Tyler Eifert or M. Bennett (yet to decide)
Defense/ ST: Da Bears
K: Blair Walsh

Bench: Big Ben, Chris Givins, Josh Gordon, Justin Blackmon, Kendall Wright, Cordarrelle Patterson.

the value was just to good to let Nicks go for the price he was going for so I ended up with both the Giants WR. I'm looking to make a trade for a bench RB since there was a run on them for outragous money and there are a few decent ones on people bench.

What do ya'll think? I'm happy with it.

I hate starting Cruz and Nicks, but I think come week three you'll be starting Gordon over him anyways. Forte is going to tear it up in PPR leagues this year.

Like I said. I could not pass up on Nicks for his value. And yeah, that was my plan for Gordon anyway. Im trying to trade nicks for Roddy white to a Giants fan as I type.

Hell, give him Nicks and Wright/Patterson if that's what it takes.

IMO that's a push, but I'd probably still do it so that I didn't have two Giants receivers when they have rough match-ups or poor weather.

The only reason I like him is cause manning is throwing him the ball. I could see a healthy Hakeem Nicks putting up better numbers this year.

Yeah, but when is the last time we saw a HEALTHY Nicks? Maybe this being a contract season will keep him 'healthy'.

Could use some help guys. I traded Nicks for Decker and HATE it...

I have been offered Cam Newton and Randal Cobb for Matty Ice and Decker.

I don't know what to do because I can keep Matt Ryan and roll the dice on Givens next week and then start Josh Gordon after that..

Is it worth it to trade Matt Ryan?? The more I think about it the more I think no.. But its the only way I can get rid of Decker. HELP.

I'd make that trade in a HEARTBEAT.

I had Cam as my #4 QB and Ryan as my #5

And Cobb as my #10 WR and Decker was my #21.

Assuming PPR.....oh and if you get points for return yards it's even BETTER!

Now...Cam has a very tough match-up this week...but dude has finished top 5 fantasy QB each of his first two years and was the top fantasy QB the second half of last year.

The thing is that I think Matt Ryan is more consistent. I agree it is a good offer.. Just hard for me to pull the trigger trading my QB. Your post gives me the push i needed. Thanks. lol
