Erik Kuselias

  (2:56 PM)

ok peeps...I'm in and ready....grape vitamin water in tow....we have lots of questions in already...and as I tell you every week, I ALWAYS take question #1...no matter what the subject matter

Gary (Colorado Springs, CO)

E, Pick 4 (standard ESPN league) out of the following: Roy Williams, Driver, Branch, Matt Jones, Berrian, Breaston, Norwood, M.Pittman

Erik Kuselias

  (2:58 PM)

this is question #1...ok Gary...this is like the question they asked Rodney Dangerfield at the end of "Back to School"....and I feel like answering "the counsel fo trent!"...but I like the 1st 4 guys...Matty Jones has caught 5 balls every game this year...shhhh but he's getting good

David W.(Sheppton,PA.)

tough one here. Marshawn Lynch or Jonathan Stewart? buffalo will get behind and need to throw or go with the matchup w/ KC

Erik Kuselias

  (2:58 PM)

I love both guys...but JStew has just learned that BOTH starting tackles will be out...plus he's in a timeshare...take Lynch

Marshall(San Francisco, CA)

Who do you like better this week Earnest Graham or Ronnie Brown?

Erik Kuselias

  (2:59 PM)

I LOVE graham this year...we all gush over the Denver offense...but we ignore the fact they are putrid on D

Santana Moss (DC)

Am I really this good?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:00 PM)

no....you're livin a lie..some things just can't be explained...like "why did the Harlem Globetrotters make the pope an honorary member?"...I just can't explain it

Jim(NJ)

Should I trade Chris Chambers for Andre Johnson

Erik Kuselias

  (3:01 PM)

yes right now....Andre Johnson is a great buy low candidate

Mark, Albany NY

I'm a huge EK fan and love it when you sit for M or M!!! 3rd WR this week - Toomer or Marvin Harrison?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:02 PM)

still going with harrison....he's 112 years old...but they will thow it, they got their timing down on the bye week, and while SOMEONE will strep up for the Giants...are you really sure it will be Toomer? Me neither

Hanson (York, PA)

Will Ahman's Green's return mess up my plans to use Steve Slaton this week?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:03 PM)

not even a little

Erik Kuselias

  (3:03 PM)

by the way the Colts have given up 170 (yeah that's a buck SEVENTY) or more rush yards in 3 straight....

Jessica Rabbit (Toonville)

Why'd Karabell leave the TEs off his flex rankings? Can you slap him for me?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:04 PM)

Karabel looks like Jim Boeheim's nerdy petulent son...but he's fiesty....a good MMA darkhorse

Tom (Chicago)

What happens to DeSean's value when all of the WRs are healthy in Philly? Do you like him over Roy Williams for the year and this week?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:06 PM)

I still think its time to SELL DJax....I mean sell him like you're Billy Ray Valentine and its the end of "Trading Places"...he's small...his best game is 71 yards a single td and a fumble...and people are actually talking about him like he's a #1 receiver

Pete (Okla)

R Grant over S Young? Does Rodgers playing have a factor here?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:07 PM)

on the other hand...buy Ryan Grant like you're one of the Duke brothers (same movie..."Trading Places")...he's healthy...it's getting cold...and they will start to run. He's a very undervalued commidity

Erik Kuselias

  (3:07 PM)

UPDATE: Brett Favre's house in Green Bay is up for sale...3k sqaure feet...475k....

Sam ( Detroit, MI)

Hey Erik, with SJAX, T Jones, and Run DMC on bye, which 2 do i start? Perry, Moore or Maroney( cant trust him)

Erik Kuselias

  (3:08 PM)

RUN DMC is back together? SWEEEEET. Love "My addidas" and their version of "Mary Mary"...why ya buggin?

Jay (NYC)

Thanks for the advice last week Erik on starting LJ. This week i need some help on starting O'Sully or Big Ben. I'm leaning towards Big Ben since the Pats are coming off a bye and i don't think Moore will do good.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:09 PM)

I'm VERY weary of Big Ben...Stephania (as in Bell) says his shoulder is creaky, they have no run game, and the o-line blocks like they're mad at #7.

Stuart Scott (Bristol)

Yo, should I start 49ers or Cowboys defnese this weekend?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:10 PM)

Love Love Love the 'boys D. BOO-YA!

Brandon Jacobs, NYG

Me or Larry Fitzgerald the rest of the year?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:10 PM)

how's this....it ain't you and it ain't close

Bo

I am still Ku Ku for Kuselias! I trade Eddie Royal (my #3/4 WR) for Brandon Jacobs (and upgrade from my #2 RB), good deal? Sox or Angels tonight?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:11 PM)

Bo: good deal if you need a rb....and I like the Angels

Craig (St. Paul, MN)

Apart from Andre Johnson, who's a good buy low candidate at WR? My group of Housh, Bruce, and Driver just isn't trustworthy enough and I have some good RB depth to deal from.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:12 PM)

Engram, Ochowhateverhecallshimselfattheendoftheday, Braylen (but the schedule stinks),

Joe (Cali)

Mewelde Moore even with a start at flex over Roddy White?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:12 PM)

not in this lifetime

Jason (Chicago)

Erik Kuselias, love the work with FFNow (Sundays at 12 on espn.com to complete the plug). Would I be crazy starting Slaton over LT this weekend?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:13 PM)

thanks for the plug...and yes crazier than the fact that men are 6 times more likely to be struck by lightning than women.

Costanza Wallet

Who fills me up this week, Engram or A.Bryant?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:14 PM)

the free Tiger poster at the Orlando area Exxon cupon....and Engram

Sean (Denver, CO)

As a flex, Perry or Duece Deuce?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:14 PM)

Perry...Minn is SOOOOO good against the run you almost have to think about sitting borderline guys

P.Rivers (San Diego)

Do I actually get the Nod over Cutler this week. I am playing the Fins ?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:15 PM)

no...grab some pine

Erik Kuselias

  (3:15 PM)

ok...quarter after let's do some rapid fire for 5 min....get em in and make the questions short

Mark (FL)

Do you like Engram more than Branch for the year? Or just this week?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:15 PM)

for the year

ram tucson arizona

who to start. eli, peyton, or cutler?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:16 PM)

peyton...great against houston and the bye week helps them

Jay Tampa

Will Meachem still put up numbers after everyone comes back, or should I sell high?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:16 PM)

sell high

Louis Kansas City

earnest graham or forte rest of the season?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:16 PM)

Graham...Forte gets some tds stolen by McKie

Alex (NJ)

More TD's on the season: Turner or Barber? Thanks.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:17 PM)

Barber...33tds in last 35 games....

Jason (Vegas)

E Royal or S Moss?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:17 PM)

smoss

Trent from Roanoke, VA

Rodgers or Roethlisberger?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:17 PM)

ben...rodgers is a game time decision...they scare me like Bonie Hunt without makeup

RT (Ohio)

Griese over Peyton Manning?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:17 PM)

stop it

Will (Rochester,NY)

For the year Driver or Randle El?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:18 PM)

driver...but can you believe this is now a legit question?

Skip (GR)

Erik, I'm loving how fast you're getting these answers out, 1 click of the refresh and 3-4 newbies! Buisness, any projections on Chris Henry rest of the year?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:18 PM)

yep...he won't get arrested (rim swhot)

Wolf (NY)

Bad matchups, so who to start: San Diego or New Orleans on D?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:19 PM)

LOVE the SD defense...they are getting hot, they are talented, nasty and have a great schedule...my #1 go get'em undervalued defense

Erik Kuselias

  (3:19 PM)

ok...more rapid fire in 1o min...back to our regulalry scheduled programming

Brian (Easton, CT)

Eric -- Need to put a needle in my eye or choose which Baltimore RB this week McClain or Mr. Magoo (a/k/a Maghee)? My other back is M. Moore and flex is Benard Berrian. Mr. Maghoo has killed me all year. Help Please!!

Erik Kuselias

  (3:20 PM)

probably McClain....(can anyone confirm this was Bruce Willis' character's name in "Die Hard"?)

Tim (Towson)

I have Romo and Warner ... I've been trying to move Warner, but should I be trading Romo instead? Seems like I'd get a lot more for Romo, and Warner's putting up similar numbers ...

Erik Kuselias

  (3:21 PM)

My philo on trading: 1. dont feel guilty if you rob a firend 2. always get the best player in the deal 3. trade the "name" keep the "production"

Bill (Columbus)

Can you have a "go get'em defense?" If you're trading for a defense, get out. Mewelde Moore or Santonio Holmes as a flex?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:22 PM)

Bill...I'd trade a kicker for a cold yoo-hoo...I'll trade a 3rd string qb for a 5th rb...id trade paychecks, bills, dogs, ex-girlfriends, Seinfeld references...ANYTHING!

Fuzz (San Antonio, TX)

better pick up to stash....D. Branch, or K. Curtis?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:22 PM)

good question and without copping out I'll say both...for upside

Give Me A Break Pleassssssssssssssse!

Please answer this: Which WR and RB should I bench: RB: E. Graham, C. Johnson, R. Grant WR: K. Walter, P. Crayton, S. Breaston. A. Gonzalez

Erik Kuselias

  (3:23 PM)

Dude you're sooooo whinnnneyyyyy. then again, you could be a woman. Who knows? Breaston and CJ by the way

John (MA)

Ocho or Meachem?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:24 PM)

ocho...and he kisses the star after his td this week

Joel(Reno,NV)

Would you start Ryan Grant over Lendell White this week?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:24 PM)

heck yeah

Steve (Annapolis, MD)

My running backs suck -- please, please, please help me pick two to start Willis McInjury, Ronnie Brown, Edge, Deuce, Fred Taylor

Erik Kuselias

  (3:25 PM)

I didn't say it...you did. But we agree on your first point. Edge and RBrown

Brent (Indiana)

Come on! Andre Johnson/Jason Cambell for CHris Chambers/Chris Johnson??? Comments.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:26 PM)

quick fact...Campbell has not turned the ball over yet this year....no picks no fumbles...I like that part better

Billy Ray Valentine (Capricorn)

Who you like more for the rest of the year - Anthony Gonzalez or Justin Gage?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:27 PM)

nicely done on the "Capricorn" made me snort a little vitamin water (which...amazingly enough was even less atrractive that it sounds like it would be)...Gonzo

mark (chicago)

Do I trade fast willie parker for thomas jones? need a rb soon...

Erik Kuselias

  (3:27 PM)

Willie sits til after the bye and Pittsburgh has the WORST playoff schedule EVER.

Evan (NJ)

Rapidfire!!!! Slaton, reggie bush, or Ryan grant this week?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:28 PM)

2 more minutes before rapid fire starts

t

Newest pet peeve - people who ask about "C. Johnson". Don't they realize there are THREE fantasy-relevant C. Johnsons! (Chris, Chad, Calvin) Spell it out please!

Erik Kuselias

  (3:28 PM)

fair point...a little anal and angry but fair....

Jack (SD, CA)

Does Pits OLine finally protect Big Ben long enough this week so he can throw a pass?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:29 PM)

unfortunately...no. Quick fact...more women root for the steelers than any other team

Louis (Rochester)

Please Pick a side... Greg Jennings and Thomas Jones for Stephan Jackson (the good one)

Erik Kuselias

  (3:30 PM)

I like SJax...but I love greg jennings....this is actually a fair trade and depends on what you would need...but Jennings is legit and SJax will be great too

Dazed and Confused (???)

Hey E, (Entrouge fan?) Campbell or Delhomme this week?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:34 PM)

Erik Kuselias

STOP THE PRESSES

Angelina Jolie is far from overrated. Unless you are measuring her ability to make a good cup of coffee. She is hot and talented!

Erik Kuselias

  (3:36 PM)

really? name 1 movie she was i that I might have remotely thought "wow..I'm really gald I plunked down my 12 bucks for this"

Kelly (DC)

Lesser of two evils? Kitna or Griese?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:37 PM)

I kinda like Kitna this week

clinton portis

Erik Kuselias

  (3:37 PM)

you HAVE to know your bettter than the woman who sings "I kissed a girl and i liked it"

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Angelina Jolie is the Braylon Edwards of Hollywood.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:38 PM)

except she never scored 16 tds in a season...and "hi" JB

Me-Here

Eagles or Bucs DEF?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:38 PM)

Angelina Jolie

Erik Kuselias

Help me ou here!!!!!!!

Delhomme or Edwards

Erik Kuselias

  (3:42 PM)

Jake....and yes...it hurts a little to recommend that you sita guy who is platying against a defense that allowed 56 points and 6 tds passing last week.

Darren (Indy)

I've been thinking about this all week and can't decide. Pick two from Slaton, Lynch, Forte.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:42 PM)

you need: 1. a job 2. a date 3. to sit Slaton

Greg Jennings

Is Aaron Rodgers going to play? If not, do you start me over Deangelo Williams?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:43 PM)

Rodgers is a gametime decision...and either way you are still in the lineup

Lance Moore (New Orleans)

when is Colston going to make people forget that i exist?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:43 PM)

for the next couple of weeks....but by the end of the year it will be Colston

Jon (Minny)

Original Sin had some good scenes at least.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:44 PM)

now we're down to "good scenes"??? If this is the best we can do, then we have to agree that Angelina Jolie is as overrated as Torry Holt

Kevin (OH)

In a 16 team league, ok to drop Vernon if I also have Carlson? Thanks.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:45 PM)

Thanks for reminding me...when we talk "overrated" we need to start with Vernon davis....I loathe him

Ryan (AZ)

My #1 RB is Barber. I have a shot at Addai and Lynch. Who do you like better as my #2?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:46 PM)

Ryan...you're #1 RB this week is Addai...don't confuse the issue

Gordon Gekko (NY)

Erik... The Bailout plan on Grant has been agreed and voted upon. The point is, ladies and gentleman, that Grant, for lack of a better word, is good.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:47 PM)

Agreed...and Blue Horseshoe loves Andicott steel

B.Jacobs

Do you like me more than R. Grant this weekend? For the season?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:53 PM)

steve,la

Erik with a "K", who is a sexy flexy start this week: McGahee, Deuce or Deangelo Williams?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:53 PM)

Did you really just go "sexy Flexy" in a chat? Wow.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:54 PM)

DeAngelo...I still want to answer the question

DJ

Engram or Lance Moore this week?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:54 PM)

Moore...they throw and he's the #1 target..plus the Vikes are great against the run, so NO will throw even more than usual

Eric (RI)

Titans D or Ravens D

Erik Kuselias

  (3:55 PM)

I rank the Titan D #1 overall this week....The ravens come in at #4

Dave (Help-a-Fella)

A quick yes or no. I trade Brees/Roddy for TO/Schaub; I have Cutler as my other qb.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:55 PM)

keep Brees...trade Cutler in the deal

Jayson (NYC)

What's your rule of thumb if you have a QB, RB and WR from the same team. Ever play them together?

Erik Kuselias

  (3:56 PM)

if its Dallas (Romo/Barber/TO) against a D like the Lions (or Bengals which the 'Boys have this week)...sure...but that's the "all in approach" that should only be used rarely

Color Me Impressed

I've never seen anyone drop a "PCU" reference before. Nice work... btw it's "Gutter"

Erik Kuselias

  (3:57 PM)

what did I say? Didn't i say "Gutter"?...anyway LOVE Clinton and P-Funk

I'm not going to get picked, am I (Does it really matter)

My RB's are Westy, Grant, Slaton, Chris Johnson, and Turner. I tried to trade Ryan Grant for the Bears D. It got rejected. Who is crazy - me for offering the trade or him for declining? He wants Slaton instead.

Erik Kuselias

  (3:58 PM)

i Like RGrant Better than Slaton for the rest of the year

Quickly

For the year: Holt or Andre Johnson? Grant or Chris Johnson?
