My RBs are Darren McFadden, Tim Hightower, Joesph Addai, Ryan Matthew, CJ Spiller
My WRs are Roddy White, Syndey Rice, Roy Williams, Mike Williams
With Rice out my WRs SUCK.
I have been offered Larry Fitzgerald for Run DMC. I'm not all confident McFadden can survive a full season. Should I pull the trigger?

I wouldn't. A strong RB should generally get you more points than a strong WR.
I would drop Roy for someone else off waivers though. Maybe Devery Hendersen now that Coulston is hurt? Depends on who is available I guess.

I lost an auction bid for Devery Henderson by $10.
I know what you're saying about the RB vs WR. I'm concerned that DMC will get hurt like he always does. I guess I'll cross my fingers and hope to ride him out(no homo). Plus if I were to have a shitty player at one position it might as well be WR.

I was going to retire from FF this season, but a local bartender coerced me into getting in their ESPN league. My wife has been watching me do it for 10 yrs and wanted to play so she's the coach and I'm the DC/OC for the team

The team name is "I Touchdown there"
I just put it on autopick and did reasonably well. It's the one year I got Peyton Manning and had to bench him, then Colston breaks a collarbone and he's benched. I did manage to get Brees who put up 34 for me last week for my first win.

That's got "The League" written all over it.

Best TV comedy last year
(verdict is still out for this season; Sunny was always my favorite TV comedy show, but it was subpar last year)

Roddy White and (I'm assuming) Tampa Bay Mike Williams? That's a pretty good combo... just watch the waivers for a number three to announce themselves ala Brandon Lloyd last year
Though I guess it depends on your league size.

And do NOT make the Run DMC trade. If he stays healthy he'll put up 2000+ total yards (big big if), but the dropoff to Addai or Spiller or a platoon guy like Matthews will be massive. If you're rocking a Hightower/Spiller combo, it doesn't matter how bad your WRs are, you're team is already finished

Mike Williams Seattle.
Looks like Sydney Rice is going to play this week. Mike Williams is the first to go if another WR appears.

Oh, then yeah... that's pretty bad
I'd dump him or Roy Williams at the first sign of life on the waivers

I was gonna say Mike Williams (Tampa) was a good get, but fat Mike Williams (who ironically is from Tampa) is not so good.
I think I'm in my twilight as far as fantasy football goes. Last year I finished 6th and made it to the semis. This year looks about the same.

I was so glad Dallas got rid of him, and with MBIII being hurt those releases don't look so bad.
