Title: RB needed
Post by lumber2121 on Nov 8^th, 2004, 3:50pm

Marshall Faulk appears healthy. That is the good news. Other than that, I am very thin at RB this week.

Tyrone Wheatley has a bye this week. Thomas Jones may not play. That leaves me with Steven Jackson.

The Rams are playing Seattle. It would be tough for me to win this week if I had to start both Jackson and Faulk.

The only free agents available at Hoover, R. Anderson, Vernon Haynes, Pinner, Stecker, Mike Cloud, Larry Johnson and D. Blaylock.

I have C. Johnson, Givens, Coles, Burleson and Stallworth. Should I try to trade Givens or Coles for Westbrook or Kevin Jones? Should I try to Givens for C. Brown?

The guy who has Pittman, McGahee, Brown and R. Johnson has both of his starting receivers on a bye week this week. The team is also in my division and just two games behind me.

Blaylock is gimpy too, isn't he?

I'd try to trade Burleson or Stallworth for someone like Kevin Jones or Emmitt Smith or William Green.

I just read a report this morning that stated Blaylock will be the starting RB if Holmes is not able to go on Sunday. I put in a waiver claim for Blaylock. Someone else will probably get him. I am last in line for waiver pickups. Good news, I have the best record in the league. Bad news, I will have to pick up the dregs at RB or make a trade.

Good luck. Your team looks solid though. If you get through this week with a W, you'll be golden!

Thank you. This week looks bleak, but I have been luckier in the past. We shall see.
