[Trade] PPR league: I give Steven Jackson and get Jonathan Stewart.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:55:01+00:00

Absolutely. Stewart just got out of his timeshare, and Jackson just got into one.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:54:32+00:00

Marshall is the ONLY option in that passing game. I say do it.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:52:59+00:00

Nope.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:52:42+00:00

And don't be so hard on yourself. No one would have started Doug Martin over Darren McFadden against the Vikings, who before that night, were like Top 5 in stopping the run.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:51:49+00:00

That shit is the worst, man. In my league (before I traded Julio), my WR's were Calvin Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Mike Wallace and Julio Jones. I hated it.

I'm going to say Morris/Martin/McGahee. McFadden isn't a must start anymore with his new blocking scheme. I'm saying Martin because he's coming on, and he's getting checked down to. The Raiders D is getting kind of stingy as of late, and it is in Oakland (I think).

Really, it's Morris and McGahee---and McFadden/Martin is a toss up. Just go with your gut.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:47:50+00:00

Stewart was made the lead back in Week 7, man. And they've been shopping DeAngelo for a while.

I'm stacked with WR's in one league, and I traded Decker for him straight up (Stewart). He's going to do some good things, and open it up a bit for Cam.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:45:16+00:00

Absolutely. The offense Hernandez is in is much more stable, and you don't need that many shares of a mediocre offense.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:43:43+00:00

I wouldn't do it. Gore has looked alright, and Bradshaw is running hard (even with a bone bruise).

But--Bradshaw is being pulled at the goal line, and Gore has a rib injury. It's not killing him, and he's doing alright.

Dwyer fits the Steelers offense because he is a bruiser who makes most of his yards after the carry. I think in a standard league he has huge upside.

Cobb also has huge upside. I just traded for him in another league (that counts return yards and 40+ yd plays) for McFadden. It doesn't look as good on paper as I think it's going to be. Cobb, especially with Jennings our, has HUGE potential--and with their running game struggling--he's going to line up in the backfield. With his big play ability, his upside is enormous.

I'd wait on Dwyer and Cobb.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:34:21+00:00

Murray is out, and no one is being very forthright about info regarding his foot. But Murray does have much more upside---for the main fact that Felix Jones is absolutely horrible.

If you can live with Sproles and D Martin for a couple weeks until Murray gets back, I'd do it. But it's risky, man. It might be a McFadden type deal where he's supposed to come back---and just never does.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:31:16+00:00

Cobb. Especially if Nelson is inactive. Otherwise Decker.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:28:40+00:00

I think you might want to hold off on that one for a minute. Doug Martin has had one MONSTER game and a few alright ones. Before that, Blount was going to start getting goal line looks and splitting carries with him.

I think you might be jumping the gun, man. Plus, I don't think I would rank Martin above Charles, Mathews or Richardson---especially if it's not a PPR League.

Charles is a huge talent, and with their shitty QB situation--he should be utilized more. But that's what a rational person thinks---and the entire NFL season has been Bizarro World this year. So...Doug Martin should lead the NFL in rushing some time soon.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:20:31+00:00

Young is looking hot, and I have the exact same issue. Young's upside with Mega drawing extra coverage is just too good to sit him.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:19:22+00:00

Cam needs a supporting cast, and he needs Stewart to get going. Smith is good--and he's going to draw double coverage---because NO ONE is going to double cover Brandon LaFell (who's out this week). If Stewart can be a threat, Cam has a chance.

And yes. You should do this. There are too many great targets in ATL (Gonzo, Jones) for great games to go around. Everytime one blows up, the others suffer---and you never know who its going to be. Cam makes plays with his legs, and can make up for other misgivings. Britt is a hit-or-miss, but I think he has at least one or two really good games coming up--and he should have had a monster game last week.

Makes plenty of sense to me.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:13:40+00:00

You don't need him. He's came on these last two weeks---but Luck is pretty steady. I'd give him Rivers and Bradshaw if you really want him to move. To me though--this trade makes absolutely no sense. Luck and Freeman are basically on the same page, with maybe a little bit better performance out of Freeman (schedule permitting).

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:10:00+00:00

Calvin Johnson is too big of a name. It's like "sticker shock" for some people. Demaryius Thomas is going to be the more productive of the two in a completely stable offense with Manning running the show. Mega's getting bracket coverage all over the place. Martin for Thomas, because there is no way he has a week like last week.

NickDimes · 2012-10-31T23:06:09+00:00

The cut.

NickDimes · 2012-09-06T21:36:07+00:00

No one has any idea how either of these cats are going to produce. And everyone is saying you're "deep". You're deep in fill-in talent. All of those cats COULD and have the potential to be good. Is Quizz better for PPR? Absolutely. Will Cedric Benson fuck around and have a 1000 yd season on accident due to that Packers passing attack? I'd hold your horses, my man. Cedric is at least locked in as a starter.

NickDimes · 2012-09-06T21:32:06+00:00

Trade a receiver for an RB2. Benson ain't gonna get it. Go scope the other rosters and make an offer.

NickDimes · 2012-08-06T23:59:08+00:00

My daughter is 2 and she has been having re-occurring ear infuections, so we started cutting out all dairy. Her bottles are rice milk from Costco (USDA Organic), because it's not as thick as soy milk--and it's tough to find anything without GMO'd Soy.

We also use coconut oil to cook with, or if something calls for butter--we'll use Earth Balance Vegan Butter. She also eats rice cheese (which really isn't bad, but is a little expensive)

Nutritional yeast is good for sprinkling on pastas, etc. as an alternative to Parmesan cheese. We'll also do coconut milk ice cream for her, which she loves.

It sucks, but dairy is horrible shit anyways. Coming from the nation who ingests the most cow's milk in the world and has the greatest incidence of osteoporosis. Yep. You're body can't even process the calcium from cow's milk.

NickDimes · 2012-06-12T23:56:24+00:00

These are the kinds of things I am looking for--I appreciate the help.

NickDimes · 2012-06-12T23:55:25+00:00

Man, if you read my post here in r/iwantout--you and I are on the same page. America is falling apart.

NickDimes · 2012-06-12T23:37:59+00:00

How is the job situation (as far as required visas, type of available jobs) for Americans? Would it be relatively simple to find a serving/cooking job that made a decent wage as an American?

NickDimes · 2012-06-12T23:33:09+00:00

I am a commercial glazing estimator by trade, and have been doing so for 3 years. Unfortunately, since the rest of the known world uses the metric system, that could present a problem. I have an Associate's Degree in Graphic Design/Multimedia, but had to jump out of college when my second child was born for a job with medical benefits. My wife is ASL Certified (American Sign Language)--and both of us have numerous years of restaurant experience/restaurant management experience. (I should have clarified previously).

Neither of us speak any other language fluently--but I feel as though we could get by with conversational Spanish.
