Bump...

I have Kerwynn Williams, Joseph Randle, and Juwan Thompson. If the reports are right and Murray is limited, would you start Randle over Williams based on the matchups, or should I go with Williams based on his share of the backfield?

So should I start him regardless of Murray's status?

My bottom team's receivers have basically carried the rest of the lineup, it's a 14 team league so there's almost no depth available, and once Ellington went down I was in trouble. I'm down to Shonn Greene, Kierwynn Williams, or Joseph Randle (should Demarco sit) at RB2. Since Greene plays in TNF, I don't have time to see if Murray will be in. I'd rank them 1. Randle if Murray's out 2. Greene 3. Williams 4. Randle with Murray I'm not sure how to approach this. Should I roll with Greene or keep the other two for Sunday? It's a 1-week championship.

In the league my top team's in, I picked up the Ravens and Rams a few weeks ago looking at playoff matchups (the playoffs are week 14-16)-I was planning to start the Rams in week 14 against the Redskins, then have the Ravens in 15 against the Jaguars, then finish out with the Rams against the Giants. The first 2 weeks went great-the Rams got me 24 then the Ravens put up 23. Now the Ravens are playing the Texans and the Rams the Giants. With the Texans down to Case Keenum/Thad Lewis at QB and out of playoff contention, would it be a good idea to start the Ravens over the Rams this week? Since it's the last week of the season, I'm going to drop whichever one I decide not to start along with the handcuffs that I no longer need to get some keeper prospects. TL;DR: I have the Ravens and Rams DST's. Week 16 is my championship. Ravens play QB-less Texans, Rams play the Giants and Eli. I need to decide who to start so I can drop the other one and pick up keepers for next year.

Thanks for the advice, just a few things: If I did that trade, I would have Forte, Lynch, Lacy, Calvin, Demaryius, and Dez (roster is in my signature). League starts 2 RB's, 2 WR's, 1 FLEX. I have to bench 1 of the 6, and it would probably be Lacy unless Lynch had a terrible matchup. Gore's also in a contract year, and it doesn't seem crazy to me that he could be somewhere else next year-the 49ers have been adding RB's to their roster. I wouldn't be surprised if Hyde takes over that role next year. And Brady really isn't my starter right now, I have Rodgers there. I know it seems like bad roster management to have 2 top-5 QB's but I traded Eli Manning and Shane Vereen (pre-Ridley injury) for Rodgers so I'm not complaining. That's kinda how this roster happened, I bought low on Calvin, Lynch, Lacy, and Rodgers while they were not producing. Would any of those change your thoughts? And if anyone else wants to answer just link to your question in the reply.

My top league's trade deadline is coming up-he'll cost a 10th rounder next year, how much better than that do you think he'll be? I could potentially get Demaryius Thomas in a trade involving Hyde, as this is the time in the league when the top teams trading their keepers for studs-there's a team with Manning, Murray, Foster, Brown, and Maclin and another with Luck, Ellington, Charles, J. Jones, Morris, Jeffery and J. Thomas. My team is one of those top 3 (essentially clinched a playoff spot based on our total points wild card spot) and I'm trying to do everything I can to win. Right now I'd be keeping Hyde (he'll cost a 10) Brady (6), and Gordon (4), and Brady is only a good value because of the dumb way people draft QB's in this league. Demaryius would be moving into my lineup and Lacy/Lynch would go to my bench depending on matchups. If I could get Thomas for either Brady or Hyde AND a draft pick in the 6th-8th round, would you do that deal? Who would you rather trade away between Brady and Hyde?

Yup do the trade and drop Beckham for Jackson.

I'd take it, you never know what the RB situation will be in New Orleans (not to mention it's a passing team with a worse than average defense). I'm guessing your league lets you keep 3 without a penalty, and if that's the case I'd much rather keep Marshall (my league takes picks away based on where the kept guy was drafted so Ingram is a better keeper for next year).

I would probably go Bush at RB2 and Bennett at flex. Mine: http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?/topic/431105-trade-for-demaryius-thomas/#entry4014128

Adams, neither is a top option in their real offense but he's more likely to get some catches. Mine: http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?/topic/431105-trade-for-demaryius-thomas/#entry4014128

I'd go with Ryan, their offense should have no problem scoring huge points against Tampa and I think he'll probably pass for a few TD's. Can't go wrong with either, though. Mine? http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?/topic/431105-trade-for-demaryius-thomas/

Take that as soon as you can so he doesn't change his mind. Hilton is a WR1 this year. Mine? http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?/topic/431105-trade-for-demaryius-thomas/

No way, Ellington is a beast. Stick with what you have. Mine? http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?/topic/431105-trade-for-demaryius-thomas/

If you can get Jordy for McKinnon and Edelman I'd definitely take that. Don't give away Gordon, though. Mine? http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?/topic/431105-trade-for-demaryius-thomas/
