Does anyone think Jahvid Best is worth keeping? I got a trade offer, Best for Santonio Holmes…i’m kinda liking it. Best may be on his way down…can’t trust a light rook.

I am in a league that keeps up to 3 players no more than one at any given postion. For 8 seasons now I have kept p manning, and for 4 seasons Randy Moss – the Rb position has been rotating this year it was benson.

The coming year I will keep (most likely) Manning and Arian Foster but I wonder about Moss. Is this the twilight and I would really like to get my hands on Vincent Jackson as I think he might really be the guy after this mess is over. I have a stockpile of RBs on this team :Foster, Benson, Ronnie Brown, Hillis, Torian and M Bush and barf Brandon jackson. The owner of V Jackson wants Torain – is he worth dumping to get Jackson for the future or is Moss good for a few more years?

@ Shultz,
I have seen nothing recently to suggest the sky’s the limit for Kolb. He looked good in his two starts last year but he has disappointed in preseason and in the regular season in 2010. Meanwhile, Vick is playing at a Pro Bowl level. Kolb has received plenty of reps, he’s had extensive action with the starters so I’m not buying the “he gets the week to prepare as the starter” argument. Plus, almost all professional athletes are always motivated and I have seen nothing out of Kolb to suggest that he doesn’t fully prepare himself for every game. Back to the bench for him when Vick returns.

By the way, for what it’s worth, considering that Kevin Kolb was on the bench before last week, and that he now has some of the best assets in the league running routes for him, I think Kolb should be a “moving up”.

Having a week to prepare, when you know you’re the starter is just different. Also, he’s motivated. For all he knows, this might be his last chance to reclaim the starting role in Philly. If he comes out and throws for 300 yards and a couple of scores…?

The sky’s the limit. He was riding the pine before. That’s definitely moving up.

Well I have 3 leagues and 2 of them I am 3-1 in the other well I had ryan grant and reggie bush – what does that tell you. my team was more or less: Gore, Shonn Greene, Mike Bush (reggie is on IR) Torain and Betts. WR was Sims-Walker (gag), Marshall, TO, Williams (TB) and Wallace (Pit). Yesterday I decided this was my screw around league and decided I wasnt getting better RBs from anyone and decided to experiment and want your opinion. I traded Gore and Sims-Walker for Anquan Boldin and Hightower. I know Hightower could lose his seat at any time but well hes decent.

Here is my theory. Marshall and Boldin should be good WR tandem every week (I think Williams (TB) is going to become just awesome over time as will Wallace with Roth back). So now I feel like I have a really good WR corp (we start 2 with a WR/RB flex)

On RB – I think Portis is toast before season is over an Torain looks really like he could end up being everey down guy. I think LT’s wheels come off about week 7-9 from the pounding and greene comes back at the end when I need him and M Bush should be really good as McFadden seemed to get injured on queue.

Thoughts?

Hi, my name’s Shultz, and Mike Sims-Walker can kiss my bench good-bye.

Last week was the last straw for me. The Colts have been playing around a gaping hole in their secondary all year, MSW always plays well at home, and you just knew they were gonna be playin’ from behind–when MSW makes most of his fantasy points anyway…

But nooOOOOoooo.

He’s no use to me on my bench, but if you can’t play him at home against a defense with a hole–then when can you play him?

I’m droppin’ him. Who in their right mind would trade for him at this point?
