Erik Kuselias

  (2:57 PM)

ok...let's make this the "Tom Coughlin" 5 min early chat...I'm here and ready to go...and as you know I ALWAYS post the first question.....

Jay: (Boston, MA.)

What's up E, who's the better flex option for this week, Pierre Thomas or Michael Bush? Thanks.

Erik Kuselias

  (2:58 PM)

and the winner is Jay.... I like Thomas....Stoecker started to practice this week...but I like Thmoas as the guy on a team that will score points...you should be picking him up in deep leagues

Ryan (Newport Beach, Ca)

I got Shockey'ed. I picked up Fasano but he has a Bye this week. I am in a 12 team league and also dealing with injuries to Colston and Galloway so I don't know if I drop Shockey and get a filler this week or drop Fasano and hope he is available next week. If you have some magic healing dust please go sprinkle it on the Saints.

Erik Kuselias

  (2:59 PM)

RyanRyanRyan: dont driop shockey....I'm hearing he;s gone 4 weeks...Fasano is good (heck I liked him so much his mom called and said "dude...WE don't even like him that much"...but you can go waiver wire and be servicable...

Jumbo (White Lake, MI)

Name game, pick one, TD only league....Thomas Jones, Chris Johnson, Steve Slaton?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:00 PM)

Chris Johnson is about as useful in a TD league as breasts on a bull (yep...I cleaned that one up for Disney)

Dave(Wayne, NJ)

Erik, thanks for the help. Great job on Erik and Mike(name after they dump one of the Mikes). Which 2 WRs for this week, Matt Jones, Antonio Bryant, Hardy, Reed, Gage or Meachem.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:01 PM)

Love Meachum he's the #1 guy in NO at WR...Gage looks to be healthy (off injury report)...but youre delimma reminds me of when George Carlin said: "I never dated a 10...but I dated five 2's"

Paul (Baltimore, MD)

One word answer...Bench 1: SJax, Forte, or Selvin Young?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:02 PM)

isn't "Selvin Young" 2 words?...cause I wanna pick him

Jay (NYC)

Hi Eric i have a question for you. Do you think it's a good idea to start Stuckey or L. Coles over LJ this week at Flex?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:03 PM)

is it a good idea to go to 3rd world nation without a condom because you wont be back anytime soon?

Russ (Savannah, GA)

I traded Slaton for Randy Moss this week because the otehr team needed someone for the bye week. How did I do?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:04 PM)

if you did any better you would have needed a gun and a mask

Ryan (Albany, NY)

Hey Erik, always love when you sit in for greenie on the morning show. My question is, who are some under the radar buy low candidates I can target in trades? Thanks!

Erik Kuselias

  (3:04 PM)

last week i said go get Housh the SD defense and addai...I still like all 3

Erik Kuselias

  (3:07 PM)

I type like I have broken fingers, and spell like I grew up in another country...but I am enthusastic...for Westbrook you need to watch me on FFNow at noon eastern on espn.com....I'll bring on Stephania Belll and make sure she gives you the skinny...I like Perry...Mendenghall is in a bad matchup...Ravens have allowed less than 100 in 26 of 34

Bo

Love your chats Erik. You start early and respond quickly. Start 2: Chris Perry, Thomas Jones, Brian Westbrook, Correll Buckhalter, and Rashad Mendenhall.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:07 PM)

Erik Kuselias

  (3:08 PM)

you cannot depend on the cable company to show up between 9 and 11....a waiter's suggestion after 10 pm...and Mike Shanny to EVER make it easy for you...drop away and you'll get screwed...keep him and you'll get screwed...its the law

james, Morrow Ohio

Ryan Torian? Will he take over as the main guy in dever when he comes back this year? I am considering dropping him but i am in a keeper leauge. Please Help.

Don (Honolulu, HI)

My TEs are killing me! Please Help Please! Do I play Vernon Davis or LJ Smith or do I drop one of them and pick up Royal

Erik Kuselias

  (3:10 PM)

LJ Smith has a situation where he's not practicing...i don't trust him any father than i canm throw him (for Ferris Bueller fans..."with your knee Ed, you really shouldnt be throwing anyone")...VDavis is putrid....I'd try Royal

Erik Kuselias

  (3:11 PM)

really? "Ku Ku for Kuselias"? really? I'm trying to gage what's worse...3 tight ends or that.....at least you can fix the TE situation...go trade 2 (not one ...TWO) of those TE's right now

Joe

I am Ku Ku for Kuselias! Someone dropped Shockey in my league and I picked him up. I already have Cooley and Scheffler. Wise move?

Steve (Atlanta)

Palmer or Warner this week?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:12 PM)

Warner

Erik Kuselias

  (3:12 PM)

seems like we were having a lag with the answers appearing before the questions...all sorted out now....

Mayor Bristol Conn

Erik, please pay your parking fines.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:12 PM)

how did you know...seriously...how?

Trip (VA)

What up, EK? Have to drop one of the following benchwarmers: Pierre T., Sammy Morris, Mendenhall, or Fred Jax. Who gets the boot?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:13 PM)

Freddie Jackson gets booted like he's Ashlee Simpson in a singing contest

Tim (Latrobe, PA)

My man! Greatest chatter on the innerwebbs! Hey, I need QB help, and I'm pretty deep at RB (SJax, Jacobs, Chris Johnson, Kevin Smith, Mike Bush). I GIVE Garrard and JStew. I GET Rivers and D.Ward (to hancuff my Jacobs). Do you do it? Thanks in advance?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:14 PM)

depends what else you have...I will say this...Phil Rivers has 3 or more td passes in 3 straight...and I ranked him in my top 5 this week

Justin ( Queens, NY)

what up Big E? I got offered AP for C.Johnson and Jacobs. Should I pull the trigger (my other rbs; Addai, Grant, F.Jones)? Thanks!

Erik Kuselias

  (3:15 PM)

yes..in fact leave the chat right now...go make the trade...then come back....my rule of trading: GET THE BEST PLAYER IN THE DEAL!

Cody(TN)

Im in the championship matchup.It's five-to-five and im down in saves by ones.There are many closers available in my league.Should i drop some starting pitchers for those closers.The k's are very close in the matchup too.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:16 PM)

dude...i do football...in life stick with what you know

Steve, Bangor Maine

torry holt or Brandon Lloyd? Piere Thomas or Lindale white. I can't decide

Erik Kuselias

  (3:17 PM)

Stevie: Torry Holt has been worse than liver...but I still believe...and LenDale white is a better start...but its closer than you think

Mia Sara

What happened to me?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:17 PM)

you and Heather Graham must be "vacationing" together...with Dave Chappelle

Jordan (Bay Area)

Is it better to wait on Westbrook as a GTD and if he doesnt play, plug in McGahee on Monday night? Or simply go with Chris Johnson against the tough Minnesota Defense?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:19 PM)

I like waiting on Westbrook...because i hate the other two guys equally...and with the venom of a white hot sun (to completely butcher a mixed metaphor)

Jesse (Cleveland, OH)

My RBs are awesome, but my WRs are not good, would you mind picking two guys to start: Chris Chambers, Roddy White, Issac Bruce, and Eddie Royal.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:20 PM)

I'll pick Chambers...who has scored in 5 straight regular season games...you can flip a coin for the other one

Help!

Should I start Carson Palmer, Trent Edwards, or Aaron Rodgers?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:20 PM)

CPalmer just showed up on the injury report...sore right elbow...Cincy is a grease fire as a team....

Steve (NYC)

Is trading Randy Moss for Reggie Wayne right now a good choice for me? I #2 #3 team in my league and it is PPR.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:21 PM)

hard to believe...but yes...RWayne is ahead of Moss on my board

Sam (VA)

PLEASE HELP ONE WORD ANSWER! Sjax or LJ this week? PPR League. Thanks

Erik Kuselias

  (3:22 PM)

since you sound desperate...and I've always had a soft spot (think Charlie Brown buying the ugly tree in the Peanuts Christmas special)....SJax...but this is spliting hairs...at least you KNOW Jax will get the rock

Time for Lunch

Spaghetti O's, Lasagna, or Pad Thai?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:23 PM)

O's...the best low calorie snack going....how can an entire can of PASTA have like 25 calories....and HOW CAN MUSTARD HAVE ZERO CALORIES???

dave (toronto)

I'll be quick. Jstewart or ryan grant...why?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:24 PM)

JStew...a little healthier...but this could change. These are two guys you where you need to watch FFNow

Erik Kuselias (DC)

What are your thoughts on Engram, A Green, J Porter, and S Rice?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:25 PM)

I think they are all very nice men...humble...sthrength in there convictions...and have no chance to make any meaningful impact on a championship fantasy roster

David Fairborn, OH

Erik, you put in more shameless plugs than someone who does hair transplants.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:26 PM)

true...and to hear more, you can catch the "erik Kuselias show" tomorrow morning 7-10 eastern

Eric (Fla)

What up Big E! Chris Perry or Matt Forte? Im going crazy over it! THANKS!

Erik Kuselias

  (3:27 PM)

Perry...Forte is in a tough matchup...I worry about the vulture gaolline carries...and Cleveland can't stop me, you and 9 guys from accounting

Chris (Kalamazoo, Michigan)

Stsrt 2: DeSean Jackson, Lee Evans, Braylon Edwards...Please help!

Erik Kuselias

  (3:28 PM)

sit Jackson...you need to score an NFL TD before I can play you over the other 2....and I love Evans this week...the rams are in the midst of setting records for defensive futility (6 straight game allowing 30 plus pts...all time record is 7)

Joe (NY,NY)

I promise I will listen to your show tomorrow morning, 7-10 EST if you tell me if Favre is worth starting over Gerrard, Collins, Gresie, and Orton (the waiver team)

Erik Kuselias

  (3:28 PM)

done...see you at 7

That guy from all those 80's shows

Jt O' or Kwarner?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:29 PM)

KWarner is now a top 5 guy...27 tds in his last 11 games...and the most tds of any qb (including Brady) in the 2nd half of last season

Jennifer (Jersey Girl)

I guess you wouldn't start Meachum or A. Bryant at WR over S. Holmes, right? I do like their matchups much better than Santonio's . . .

Erik Kuselias

  (3:29 PM)

you're very wise to make that assumption...and have you ever been to Short hills mall?

Matt (ATL)

SHOULD I KEEP RESUBMITTING THIS? DEFEND YOUR RANKINGS: You have Garrard ahead of Schaub on your rankings. Yes, both QBs are stuggling, but doesn't Schaub have more upside w/Andre Johnson at receiver and knowing the Jags will run, run,run?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:31 PM)

Happy to defend...the Jag QBs had 6 tds against the Texans last year...the Texans are PUTRID on the road...and Gerrard is due

Ryan ( LV,NV)

whos a better start, david garrard or jt o'sullivan

Erik Kuselias

  (3:32 PM)

can we all agree to refer to him as "JT O'Sully"....its much cooler in an "I'm an Irish kid from South Boston who is still peeved at Matt damon and that other loser for the way they portrayed us in "Good Will Whatever"" kinda way

Kim Kardashian (CA)

Is my man Reggie Bush a fair trade for Phillip Rivers.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:33 PM)

First...can i get a ruling from the panel...have we decided if she's hot?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:35 PM)

do we have any fun this week? it's pouring here and i need some fun...anyway...halfway through...rapid fior for the next 5 min

Joe (Los Angeles CA)

Erik Kuselias

  (3:36 PM)

Erik Kuselias

  (3:36 PM)

Erik Kuselias

  (3:36 PM)

probably right

Jason (Ottawa Canada)

Should I try and trade Ronnie Brown?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:37 PM)

Donovan McNabb (Philly)

Erik Kuselias

  (3:37 PM)

solid not spectacular....and yes

Leprachan (Ireland)

Erik Kuselias

  (3:38 PM)

Rocky Balboa

  (3:39 PM)

Mrey (The Ridge, CA)

Whats up E!!!...Trade Question: Trade D. Mcnabb & E. Royal for Cotchery, Earnest Graham, and JTO...I have Jay Cutler as my starter..Should i accept??

Erik Kuselias

  (3:40 PM)

if you need a rb...I like Graham...I think he'll have double digit tds

Dave (Dallas)

Commissioner question: Is Willie Parker for Larry Johnson and Kurt Warner fair? Some owners want it overturned...

Erik Kuselias

  (3:42 PM)

here's my thought on "overturn"....a trade should only be overturned in 3 instances: 1. The teams colluded 2. One team didn't care, and is mailing it in 3. a guy is only accessible to one or twoother owners other than that...let poeple do what they want. Heck, we let peole SMOKE in this country...if you wanna kill youself by inhaling tar into your lungs...go for it

Mark (WI)

B-Marshall, Forte or Fitzgerald, Lynch for the course of the season?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:43 PM)

second...marshall is a BEAST...but he'll cool down...and Lynch is waaaaay better than Forte

In Love With Jennifer

Aren't you happy The Ghost Whisperer begins again soon?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:44 PM)

Alan

Which side wins... Rivers and SJAX or Palmer and LT?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:45 PM)

if you get LT, the sticker on the bottom of your luch tray in grammar school or a night with Jessica (Biel or Alba)...you win

Dr.Doolittle

Do you think I could land LT for TO straight up? This guy needs receivers.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:45 PM)

if you do...can I have his name...I'd like to invite him to oplay in my league next season....

I Love You

Trade query... Edge and Issac Bruce for Graham? Who wins?

Erik Kuselias

Erik Kuselias

  (3:54 PM)

Owen daniles avg 40 yds a game and has NEVER scored when Andre Johnson plays...go with the other guy...ANY other guy

Damon (Boston)

Drop 1: Crayton, Stuckey or Galloway

Erik Kuselias

addai...SJax....CPerry

Erik Kuselias

  (3:59 PM)

one minute...time to see if you can beat the buzzer....

BUZZER BEATER!!!

I was offered Ryan Grant and Colston for Michael Turner. In a 14-team league with Gore/Turner/J. Stewart/D. Williams start 2 at RB and Wayne/Housh/Meachem start 2 at WR would you do this deal?

Erik Kuselias

  (4:00 PM)

if you can afford to wait 6 weeks on Colston its tempting...but its not good short/medium term value....speaking of..why is there short term value and long term value but no "medium term value"?

Erik Kuselias

  (4:01 PM)

ok peeps....well over 4 thousand questions this week...outstanding work...I'll see you next week...and i wil as always...go back and answer some tonight. THANKS!
