    Alright I need some Fantasy Football help

    This is my first year ever playing fantasy football, and I think it's safe to say that my team is quite weak.... I'm in a $100 ten man league with some co-workers and I'm 3-5 in 8th place of 10.. I think I might need to make some changes/trades now to have any slither of hope... Or do I just ride it out and hope for more production from who I've got?

    below is who I plan to start for this upcoming week:
    Cam Newton
    Vincent Jackson
    Anquan Boldin
    Darren Sproles
    Darren McFadden
    Jermichael Finley
    WR/Te: Kendall Wright
    K:Jason Hanson
    DEF: AZ

    bench: Peyton Manning, Josh Gordon, Jonathan Stewart, Michael Crabtree, Fred Jackson, Greg Jennings.

    I'm very new at this, so any advice is appreciated. I'm sure it would help if you knew the standings and how each team looked, to see if there are any decent looking trades I could make...etc...
    6 teams will make the playoffs and I'd like to get myself in there..I got buried in my last game.. at least I do have 3 wins.. and a few people are 4-4.. so I'm still in the hunt..

    anything is appreciated. thanks

    Holy crap man, yeah your definitely new at this. Your team is pretty weak for a 10 team league. You NEED to trade either Peyton or Cam. Whichever one you feel more comfortable with, but try to get an elite RB or WR in return. You'll obvioulsy get more in return for Peyton.

    Boldin, Finley, and Wright aren't really startable in 10 team leagues. I'm in a 10 team league, and those guys are bench players.

    Good luck. But yeah, trade Peyton or Cam. No point in having two elite fantasy QB's when only one can play.

    Manning should be starting big time this week. Definitely see if you can make a trade for your QB and catch a big RB or WR.

    Would anyone in 10 team need Peyton or cam is the question? You may have to take anything you can get for them though. Offer like Cam for Jimmy Graham and a solid WR and you will be fine. Your RB's are solid u just need to upgrade WR and TE

    well heres the thing...both newton and manning will get points, but manning is the bigger draw. you have to at least put manning out there...put both out there, but you have to trade 1...also, who is available on your waiver wire? i'd start mcfadden/fjax as your 2 rbs, and rotate stewart and sproles at your flex...or try and package a deal with any of those 2 (fjax, sproles, stewart) to get a solid WR..your RBs are ok, but you really need a top WR, having vjax as a #1 in a 10 team league wont cut it

    Yeah I wouldn't trade Manning, he's just starting to jell with Denver and will continue to put up good numbers. Definitely drop or trade Jennings, you might search the wavier wire and find a WR who's starting to put up numbers. Sproles is now out too, so you're gonna have to hit the wavier wire quick and replace him! Of course most decent RB are gone, but try and snag Denver RB Ronnie Hillman . He's starting to get a lot of touches and might have a break out week.

    We're at mid season, so it's gonna be difficult to get a decent trade and you may wind up losing out. You could try and package a couple of weaker players together to try and get a better one, but again, it's usually not worth the risk. Fantasy is a learning process and you get better every year you participate in it. Good luck

    I'd work on getting a quality wr..I'd throw Cam out as bait, but Manning would most likely bring more offers..

    Well, how did you do? Have you made any moves yet? Get rid of Stewart, he sucks too!
