First off, started the season 7-0, now I am 7-3...thanks in large part to Eli.
Standard 12 team league.
Eli
Foster
Greene
Stephens-Howling
Ballard
Andre Johnson
Stevie Johnson
Kenny Britt
Amendola
Boldin
Antonio Gates
Heath Miller
Guy wants Andre Johnson. He has Trent Richardson, Frank Gore, Steven Jackson, & Mikel Leshoure. He wont budge on Gore or Richardson so I said I would settle for Jackson. Worth it?

If the guy is coming to you for AJ, he shouldn't be the one telling you who he'll trade for him. Demand Gore or TRich + a low end wr from him and send back AJ and Greene. You need to start high and work your way down to a trade you both can agree on. With Amendola coming back, I think you'll be fine with him and SJohnson, but you'll be thin at wr after the trade, so it's risky. Seems like you should be trading Eli more than anyone else, if you've come to the conclusion that he's the main reason for your 0-3 over the last 3 games. I thought he'd come out of his slump, but it's looking more and more less likely with only a few games left in FF.

I have Eli in one of my leagues and scooped up Palmer a couple weeks ago and will highly consider starting him over Eli after his bye, until he produces. Do you have any reserves worth starting behind Eli?

We have been going back and forth for about 5 weeks on who to trade. He didnt come to me for Andre it was just a general league message for anybody to see and I desperately needed a RB. Anyways I just completed the trade..I feel like Foster and Jackson is a good 1-2 punch. lets hope anyways.
I claimed Josh Freeman off waivers but it wont go through until the 16th. If that doesnt happen then I guess I'm stuck with Bradford.
Just looked at my leagues waiver wire and Dalton is available. Hopefully I get one of Freeman or Dalton.
Thanks for the reply though.

Ya, no problem. I didn't know the extent of WW QBs in your league, but it sounds like there's some decent ones out there. I didn't like SJax because he was sharing time with Daryl, but after last week, his stock seemed to rise again. That is indeed a solid 1-2 punch, and it seems as though chaos may arise in NYJ if Tebow is allowed to play. Good luck!
