The season is never over, until you say it is over. If you are nearly in last place, make sure to grab Felix Jones who could be your one week spark plug to get your team going again. Fantasy Football is a game of momentum, I’m sure if you won this past week. Everything is great. If your team fell, do not stay down and keep moving forward.

Why is James Starks a must add? With Green getting 22 carries and Starks only seeing garbage time I figured he isn’t going to be worth much.
I read that the head coach said he sees no problem with green carrying a full load going forward and Starks is only backup. Do you see this changing munt?
Starks will take thejob from green soon. If u can’t grab him now, he may not be available when he does
Trying to trade S. Smith and Hartline for A. Morris, good trade?
I have no running game right now with D. Murray and Mendy. My Other rbs are
D. Martin
Quizzz
Starks
D. Wilson.
My wrs are
Harvin
Wayne
S. smith
Amendola
Hartline
J. Gordon.
I feel like I really need to make a move for a solid rb and the package for S. Smith and Hartline for somebody, if I can’t pull off Morris who else should I target?
Sorry Guys the post on Alex Green and James Starks was notes I had while watching the game and I did not go back to change it after the coaches press conference on Monday.
I see this shaking out as Alex Green has a..Prove you are the real deal game against the Rams this week. I do not see him doing well as he had trouble against the Texans Run Defense only getting 3 YPC. He did not show any explosion and did not have one run that was 10 Yards or longer. Was not impressed.
If Green Struggles Sunday, which is likely. Then I can see Starks getting his chance.
Starks can be on the Waiver Wire for now, but he does have RB #2 Potential locked up.
Thanks again Muntra, loving your site.
In an 8-team league and just wondering about your (and anyone else’s) thoughts on a trade looking more at the long term than just W7.
My R Wayne for CJ2K
Already have regular starts in Cruz and Marshall with Maclin, Britt and M Williams for depth
But in RB I only have McFadden, Morris, McGahee and Mendenhall and was hoping to take a gamble on CJ2K
Whatcha reckon.
Don’t trade Reggie Wayne for CJ2K…you can get a better RB for him.
Thanks for the feedback Christian, I understand what you mean but it’s very difficult with an 8-team league with most having pretty deep WRs and RBs being a high commodity
I guess what I’m asking for is… what does Muntra think of the Rest of Season ranking for CJ2K compared to my RB3 McGahee (even though I know you love him a bit too much)
Thanks guys :)
Devery Henderson week 7, yes or no?
I need help really bad… 16 team ppr league
should i trade this
Matt Ryan
Reggie Wayne
Darren sproles
for
Ben roethlisberger
Roddy white
