    Hurry and pick up Vick Ballard since your league's waivers have probably cleared and they're on free agency

    I just did the same

    It shouldn't really affect him too much once he returns, it just really hurts me because I'm in a virtual must-win scenario this week.

    This news literally came out 2 hours after I made my trade

    I added Ballard but I think I'm going to end up rolling with Shonn Greene in the RB2 slot.

    seems like these type of scenarios always happen when one is in a must win situation the coming week.

    Brown is their clear starter but if you are shallow at RB you don't have much of a choice other than to handcuff him. All other waiver candidates were probably already claimed this morning.

    That is crazy to hear. I was going to recommend Brown as an option to trade for, because my friend needed RBs bad. Now he has a Free Agent pick up at least.

    Alex Green I feel. More upside, and could/should be the starter for rest of season.
    D.Brown gets his gig back once he returns, unless V.Ballard goes out and tears it up.

    Sucks how these "BYE Week" fill-in type RB/WR's get hurt right in time for the BYE Weeks.

    I traded for D. Brown last week, he helped my team to a win then gets hurt. He'll be back.

    In a predicament now for this week. I grabbed Vick Ballard. Do I go w/ him or LeShoure in the flex? Right now I lean Ballard because of how horrid the Jets rush D is.

    Yeah, Im going to have to think this one over. Greene has been a bag of aholes since wk 2. I also got Leshoure so I dont know which one Im going to end up starting. Might have to use one in the Flex position.
