    Desperately Need Some Fantasy Advice
    Ok help a brotha out here. Need some major advice. Appreciate any advice that is given.

    I need you to choose 2 RB's for me to start along with Fred Jackson, here are the choices:
    MJD @ PIT
    Steven Jackson @ GB
    Ryan Torain vs PHI
    Ced Benson vs IND

    Leaning towards going with chalk here, which is MJD and SJax. Just worried about their matchups. I have a bad feeling about both MJD and SJax going into this weekend. I think Torain could have a big game against the Eagles, but I don't want to kick myself for benching my top guys.

    Also, need some trade advice. I'm trying to get rid of MJD, because I don't like his matchups for the next couple weeks (Wk6 @ PIT, Wk7 vs BAL). And I'm also trying to trade Stevie Johnson because he still has two more matchups with Revis, which will probably two guaranteed games of 5 pts or less. I have Eli Manning and Benson as trade pieces, do any of these trades upgrade me.

    MJD and Eli for DMC
    MJD and Eli for Arian Foster
    Stevie Johnson and Benson for Miles Austin.

    All help is much appreciated. Thanks. To look at my roster, here's a link to my wk6 matchup:

      Meaning you like SJax over MJD?

      I just feel iffy on Torain because Shannahan hasn't named a starting RB yet. Does anyone know if he plans on naming the starting RB sometime before Sunday? Or is this just going to be a huge mystery.

        depending on Torrain's status prior to the game (will he start, or be Hightowers backup) I would go Jackson and MJD. If Torrain isnt going to be used as last week that is. If he is going to get a heavy workload, go Torrain and MJD. The Rams suck and will be way behind.

          Ended up trading away MJD, Benson and Eli for Foster, Fitzpatrick and Mike Thomas. Basically lost depth and upgraded my RB. I think I did okay. Now my RB's are Fred Jackson, Arian Foster and SJax. Also got Torain in case i need to play matchups or bye weeks.

              It's not ppr, but my guess is Foster reaches the endzone at least 4 or 5 times more than MJD from now until the end of the season. MJD probably touches the endzone once every 2 or 3 games. Foster should touch the endzone at least 4 times every 5 games.

              Eli and Fitz are comparable. I think Eli is a little better than Fitz, but I'm okay with parting with Eli because Romo is my starter. And I'm okay giving up Benson too sweeten up the deal for him. Not sure if Mike Thomas is worth keeping or not.

                id keep him another week or two, he's been pretty consistently getting decent yardage and if gabbart gets more comfortable in the offense he might get some TDs

                  Yeah I'll probably hold on to him. MY wk 7 is full of bye's. I'm w/o both my WR's (Nicks and Stevie Johnson), so I'll likely need him. Man now that I got rid of MJD, only guy left on my "get rid of" list is Stevie Johnson. I think he is good and all, but I hate the fact that he still has to face Revis two more times in his remaining 11 games.
