    There is every reason to believe he'll be a very productive player for the rest of the season.

    I was able to grab him in one of my leagues. Now I have Chris Ivory, Dion Lewis and Williams and I'm agonizing over which two to start (there's no flex in this league -- 2 RBs and 3 WRs).

    PPR?
    If so, Lewis and I like Ivory against Jacksonville.

    2 RBs, 2 WRs and a RB/WR flex - PPR, 12-team league
    So far:
    McCoy
    Spiller
    OBJ
    Hurns

    RB/WR: James Jones, Langford, Starks (still think he'll get reps and has a better shot at breaking longer runs)

    Not PPR, but I was thinking Lewis and Ivory anyway, mostly because of Oakland's run defense.

    I really don't think you can go wrong though with any of the three.

    I'm in one of those stretches where every decision I make is wrong. I started Lewis over DeAngelo Williams.

    Better than making all the right decisions and still losing. That just means your team sucks. So you've got that going for you. Which is nice.

    I have an owner who wants me to trade him Carr. Brady is my starter.

    He has Ryan and Flacco.

    The guys on his team I want most are Robinson and Olsen. I could probably use Chris Johnson, too, because Hyde is injured and Murray got dinged up today.

    I'd want to get a backup QB back in the trade. But I might be able to get someone as good as he has off the waiver wire.

    So, I'm thinking of making an initial offer of Carr, Landry and Austin for Robinson and Olsen.

    Thoughts?

    Played every player I should have and still lost by less than two points. Thanks Mike Evans. Your fumble on the last play killed me.

    Looking ahead to next week, I've got Freeman on a bye. Trying to pick two between Lacy, McFadden and Yeldon. Lacy has been total ass all season, but facing that awful Detroit defense could put him in line to finally have a good game. But I've been saying that for two months now.

    Yeldon and McFadden face mid-tier defenses. Feels like if I don't start Lacy this week, I probably won't start him again this year.

    I never felt comfortable taking Lacy really high, although I certainly didn't expect him to be this insignificant. I think the whole Packers offense is starting to feel the effects of not having Nelson.

    I was pretty comfortable taking him third overall and, given what happened to the next three Round 1 picks, I guess I can't be too upset. Here's what our Round 1 looked like:

    Round 1
    1. Adrian Peterson(Min - RB)
    2. Marshawn Lynch(Sea - RB)
    3. Eddie Lacy(GB - RB)
    4. Dez Bryant(Dal - WR)
    5. Jamaal Charles(KC - RB)
    6. Le'Veon Bell(Pit - RB)
    7. Matt Forte(Chi - RB)
    8. DeMarco Murray(Phi - RB)
    9. Odell Beckham Jr.(NYG - WR)
    10. Antonio Brown(Pit - WR)
    11. A.J. Green(Cin - WR)
    12. Rob Gronkowski(NE - TE)

    Bryant, Charles and Bell all suffered huge injuries. Forte and Murray have been good, not great. Gronkowski and Brown are the only ones who are ranked in Yahoo's top 12 right now. Had I not taken Lacy, I would have taken Bell, so I would have been worse off overall.

    Fortunately, I drafted Freeman, so he's kind of given me the production of two very good backs in one slot, but I'd probably be running away with the league if I had Forte or Murray to run alongside him.

    I took Bell in the first, and luckily picked up Williams the week before Bell got hurt. Otherwise, my waiver priority would have been too low to get him. And thank God I did because Hyde has been out and Murray may have gotten a concussion yesterday. Gonna have to run with Anderson for at least a week.

    I did just trade Carr for Robinson in that league, so I can add him to the weekly lineup with Dez and Evans. I have Landry, Maclin and Austin as flex possibilities.
