Eric Karabell

  (3:00 PM)

Hello all and welcome to the latest fantasy sports chat session. Thanks for showing up and asking questions and let's get to as many of them as possible in the next hour. Here we go!

Russ (Pittsburgh, PA)

Considering the offensive line troubles in Dallas, do you think Murray will finish the season as a top 10 RB?

Eric Karabell

  (3:01 PM)

I viewed him as a top-10 guy prior to the season but admit it was more because I couldn't find others to make the top 10 than trusting his talent and durability. I will say he misses the top 10, but not by much. He's still good.

Kyle (Minneapolis)

Have Fred Jackson and last night traded Bowe for Spiller. Good or bad move?

Eric Karabell

  (3:01 PM)

In theory it is, but do you have any actual active running backs in Week 4?

Matt (CA)

As a Foster owner would you give B. Tate and M. Leshoure to get CJ Spiller?

Eric Karabell

  (3:02 PM)

Absolutely not. I like Tate and Leshoure quite a bit, and if you've got Foster, you've gotta have Tate. And Leshoure... it's only one week, but Spiller is no lock moving forward with the injury and competition.

Marc (Indiana)

Would you drop David Wilson for Bilal Powell? Simply as a stash...I don't need to play either at the moment.

Eric Karabell

  (3:02 PM)

Yeah, I've been talking about Powell for a few weeks now and one of these Sundays he'll just pass Greene on the depth chart. Could be this Sunday. Wilson is clearly third and the top two guys are better.

Anthony (Philly)

Trade help please! I was offered Torrey Smith and Jonathan Stewart for Chris Johnson. I'm annoyed that this is even a reasonable offer. Should I accept? Or should I counter to get Mendy and Smith for CJ2K? (standard scoring league)

Eric Karabell

  (3:04 PM)

Don't ever get annoyed by a trade offer. Ignore if you like, but it serves no purpose to get angry about something so trivial or to "fight" back with trash talk, etc. This is reasonable, but I still would not do it. Johnson is too talented to be this bad for 4 months. I just don't buy it. I wouldn't leave him active, but Stewart is a mess, too.

Bill (Boston)

Which of the following do you believe in and why? Ponder, Smith, Locker or Dalton?

Eric Karabell

  (3:04 PM)

None as starters in 10- or 12-team formats, but I do buy Ponder for the next few weeks due to matchups. The Lions and Titans and Redskins, wow! Nothing wrong with Smith; he was fine last season and it wasn't a fluke.

zeke (California)

EK, Do you think Stafford plays this week? Thanks!

Eric Karabell

  (3:05 PM)

I do, but I'd make sure I had a backup on the ready, either a Dalton/Locker type or Shaun Hill. We might not know on Stafford until last minute and he prob won't practice.

Jim (Philly 'burbs)

Any insight into how the questionable Roethlisberger to Antonio Brown play will ultimately be scored? In reality it was a 10 yard pass, a fumble by Brown at the 1 yard line, and then a Brown recovery of the ball in the endzone for a TD, so how is it a TD Pass? Is there a rule that because the same receiver who fumbled the ball actually recovered it that it's considered a pass play?

Eric Karabell

  (3:06 PM)

I don't make the rules, but I believe that yes, this is how it was scored for fantasy purposes. Nothing any of us can do about it.

Chris (Phoenix)

Hi Eric, I see all the analysts have Law Firm in the top 15 against Cincy, but what do you see his ROS value as? Ive been offered Andre Johnson for him and feel crazy to turn it down.

Eric Karabell

  (3:07 PM)

Law Firm is on Cincy, but yeah, that's a deal you should prob take, unless you're just really strong at WR. Green-Ellis has become pretty underrated actually, but not huge upside. AJ has upside.

Steve C (JACKSONVILLE)

Will J. Simpson be a factor in your opinion? If so Will that have any negative impact on Harvin?

Eric Karabell

  (3:08 PM)

For those not aware, Jerome Simpson the former TD leaping Bengal is a Viking now and he has served his 3-game suspension and will play this weekend. I think he will become relevant immediately in deeper leagues (though not to the extent Leshoure is in Detroit) but I would not worry about Harvin. Having a strong second WR there only helps Harvin.

Jim (Albany, NY)

Someone just dropped Haeth Miller in my league (10-team PPR). Should I drop Heyward-Bey for him? My other TE is Bennett.

Eric Karabell

  (3:09 PM)

Nah, I wouldn't bother. All Miller's value is in the small sample size of TDs, and they are on bye this week. Would you sit Bennett? I like him. And Hey-Bey should recover and play soon and has upside in theory.

Ian (Detroit)

Time to cut bait with HIllis? And pick up a rb like Bilal

Eric Karabell

  (3:10 PM)

That is reasonable. I really thought Hillis would bounce back, and perhaps he will, but Charles looks great and that Jets job could really change soon.

Ryan (DC)

Was offered Roddy White, Pitta, and BGE for Gronk, Fred Jackson, and Hawkins. I've got to take it, right?

Eric Karabell

  (3:10 PM)

Looks sweet to me. Gronk was never going to catch a touchdown per game anyway. Now his owners are realizing it.

tommy d (chi-town)

can i drop titus young?

Eric Karabell

  (3:11 PM)

You can drop anyone you like, assuming it's within the rules. Young didn't really emerge Sunday, as the Hail Mary was lucky and not to be repeated. But I still think Young will matter.

James (Depaul, AK)

Has it gotten to the point where we need to build into the equation for the replacement refs? Such as possibly expecting lower receiving totals due to more PI calls and letting the defenders get away with holding/illegal contact. Tough to predict but the overall league this year is seemingly being played differently with the fake refs.

Eric Karabell

  (3:12 PM)

I disagree that anything is being played differently because of this mess. This has neither been good nor bad for fantasy. It's bad in real life, but the numbers are still there.

Zman3 (OR)

1/2 point PPR would you trade Wes Welker and Jordy Nelson for Megatron?

Eric Karabell

  (3:12 PM)

Depends on my depth there, but probably not. Two potential top-10 guys for one...

David (Atlanta)

Is Ryan Grant worth a pick-up?

Eric Karabell

  (3:13 PM)

Anyone that has shook their head at Shanahan decisions over the past decade knows the answer is yes. Doesn't matter how great Al Morris looks.

Joel (Philly)

Hey Eric! I have Dennis Pitta as backup TE, Tony G as my primary. Thinking of trading Pitta for future value in R Mendenhall while he's still on the bench. Thoughts?

Eric Karabell

  (3:13 PM)

That works, but you can probably get more and should go that way by moving Gonzalez.

JB (ATL)

Matt stafford is the only QB on my roster. Who would you pick up for possibly this week and his bye next. Flacco or Dalton? and are you ok dropping David Wilson for one of them. Thanks EK

Eric Karabell

  (3:14 PM)

That's risky. I ranked both Flacco and Dalton well this week, and you and everyone can see our rankings, but yes, dropping Wilson is fine. He doesn't matter anymore.

jeff (durham)

do you think its time to lose all faith in rivers? i was offered vick for leshoure and rivers, what do you think?

Eric Karabell

  (3:15 PM)

Not a chance I would do that. I've more lost faith in Vick than in Rivers. Ridiculous decision maker, always on the verge of turnovers and getting broken in half. No way Vick plays 16 games. Rivers is better.

Mat (Spokane, WA)

someone dropped CJ in my league. drop Andre Brown to pick up Johnson, just in case 2K returns?

Eric Karabell

  (3:15 PM)

Yes, I would.

Dave (NY)

Will Grant take over the number one RB in Washington?

Eric Karabell

  (3:16 PM)

No idea, but knowing the coach, it's certainly possible, and for that reason alone Grant is interesting now. By the way, everyone cut Helu. He was placed on IR and his season is over. Remember when he was a top-20 RB in August? That was ridiculous.

John (Omaha)

How low would you go for Chris Johnson ROS? Would you trade him straight up for Green-Ellis? Doug Martin?

Eric Karabell

  (3:16 PM)

If you can still sell Johnson for those guys, I'd do it in a second. But I would not cut him. Still immense upside.

Tucker (USA)

Is it true Greg Zuerlein, aka Greg the Leg or Legatron, can kick further and straighter than any other kicker in the league?

Eric Karabell

  (3:17 PM)

Perhaps, but I do think it's interesting that the most productive position so far for rookies is actually at KICKER. And they're available.

Dave (Detroit)

How confident are you Powell takes over for Greene? I remember a couple years ago everyone was convinced Greene was taking over for LT, but it never happened.

Eric Karabell

  (3:17 PM)

Not confident at all, but watching Greene and how the Jets are using him, and how Powell continues to see more snaps, it just looks obvious. Doesn't mean Powell will play well and keep the role, but it's opening up.

Jeff (NY)

Am I really benching Chris Johnson for either Cedric Benson or Mikel Leshoure?? ugh

Eric Karabell

  (3:18 PM)

Sorry. It stinks.

Seb (Addis Ababa)

Is Nick Foles worth stashing in a 2-QB league?

Eric Karabell

  (3:19 PM)

He is. Doesn't mean he will play well, but again, Vick can't last long taking these hits. If he'd throw the ball sooner... ah, what's the use. He is what he is. And if the Eagles go 8-8, Vick is looking for work next summer. He'll find it, but ...

Dave (CT)

I am strongly considering benching Vick this week for Christian Ponder...any thoughts? And I'm and EAGLES fan!

Eric Karabell

  (3:19 PM)

I'd certainly consider it, though Vick was higher ranked by me and certainly by my colleagues. I've seen plenty.

Sheila (Houston)

Someone dropped Colston..got tired of his foot I guess..I'm going to grab him..better flex him or Ridley?

Eric Karabell

  (3:20 PM)

Prob Ridley, but yes, Colston should be owned in all formats. Flex ranks come out tomorrow.

David (Denver)

Is Andre Brown at least worth a flex spot the rest of the season or was he just a one week wonder?

Eric Karabell

  (3:20 PM)

I don't think he's worth a flex spot as a backup, but he is worth owning in case he and Bradshaw split carries or Bradshaw gets hurt again, which is certainly possible.

Tom (Peoria, IL)

Thought you might find this interesting. I won on the immaculate deception (opponent had GB D/ST) and my opponent wants our league commish to credit him with an INT and give him the victory. I leave my league if that actually happens, right?

Eric Karabell

  (3:21 PM)

Well ... it'd be tough to take your league seriously, yes. I mean, the Packers lost on that play, and they're not protesting or leaving the league. But in a fantasy format, the stats are the stats. Can't adjust them.

Andy Reid (Philly)

I always bounce back after a bad loss! With different scheme and game plan, Vick will be a top 10 QB this week?

Eric Karabell

  (3:22 PM)

He could be No. 1. Immense talent, and has done well against Giants. But he could also turn the ball over 4 times or have a rib broken by Osi in the first drive.

Steve (ATL)

What are your thoughts on Ryan Williams ROS?

Eric Karabell

  (3:23 PM)

Prob a bit overrated today. He ran well in the second half, but in the first 2-plus games he was terrible. Beanie is still there, but I don't think Williams will be a top 20 RB anytime soon.

Frank (Boston)

Any worry about Nicks matchup with Asomugha? Play Britt instead?

Eric Karabell

  (3:23 PM)

I'd play Nicks, and no worries about Asomugha. Not remotely close to the player he was in Oakland. Certainly not worth fantasy owners being concerned about their WRs.

Michael (Atlanta)

I think your disdain for Vick is over the top. In my league he currently sits as the #4 QB, despite playing poorly. I get the injury thing, but starting a guy lke Ponder over him? C'mon.

Eric Karabell

  (3:24 PM)

I ranked Vick over Ponder. I think I noted that. See the big picture please.

Joe (Philadelphia, PA)

BASEBALL: if the Tigers and the Angels both miss the playoffs, who do the "MVP only for players on playoff teams" voters vote for AL MVP?

Eric Karabell

  (3:25 PM)

Cabrera is going to win, but I would vote for Trout. Nothing against Cabrera, but what Trout has done is historic and the advanced metrics should not be laughed at. They are legit.

Andrew Hook (Texas)

I have gronk and picked up Pitta, do you think Pitta is solid enough to test the waters and see what I could get for gronk?

Eric Karabell

  (3:26 PM)

I'd trade literally anyone depending on the return. See what you can get. But Gronk is eighth among TE in fantasy points, so you might have waited too long.

Jimbo (LA)

You are very high on Mike Turner (ranked him 15 ROS)-- can you explain?

Eric Karabell

  (3:27 PM)

He scores touchdowns. He still gets yards. Is it pretty? Heck no. But it's an elite offense and he's not going away. Plus, Rodgers isn't that good. Why do we care if Turner averages 3.5 yards per carry if the fantasy numbers are there and he doesn't lose the job? I don't.

mike (DC)

first time asking anything in these chats, fantasy football trade advice I have rodgers and rg3, would dealing rodgers for Shady Mccoy be a good move on my part. Thanks.

Eric Karabell

  (3:27 PM)

I'd try to move Griffin for McCoy first, but yes, great move.

Wyatt (Buffalo, NY)

Any news on Garcon?

Eric Karabell

  (3:28 PM)

I'm starting to worry if his middle name should be questionable. Obvious talent and opportunity, especially this week, but as of now, no idea if he plays.

Steve (ATL)

Which fantasy analyst makes the most accurate predictions (doesn't have to be ESPN)?

Eric Karabell

  (3:29 PM)

Haven't a clue and couldn't care less. We give advice based on probability and common sense, and sometimes it won't work out. I don't think any of us worry about the bad calls.

Brian (Baltimore)

Thoughts on owning Ramses Barden ROS.... Just a lottery ticket if Nicks or Cruz go down??

Eric Karabell

  (3:29 PM)

A terrific lottery ticket, because we know Nicks isn't durable.

Eric (FL)

Your fantasy cohorts are higher on Demaryius Thomas this week than Jordy Nelson... you went the other way. Thoughts?

Eric Karabell

  (3:30 PM)

I wouldn't read into it. I love the Packers matchup and think they score like 45 on the poor Saints. Really. But I like Thomas as well.

Jeff (CT)

"I think your disdain for Vick is over the top. In my league he currently sits as the #4 QB..."Your league clearly doesn't count turnovers. Most leagues do!

Eric Karabell

  (3:31 PM)

Last thing on Vick: He's tied for 18th in ESPN standard scoring.

Brian (NY)

Trade Question. I traded Trent Richardson for Steve Smith. I was heavy at RB. Was this a fair deal?

Eric Karabell

  (3:32 PM)

Absolutely. Smith worries me more than Trent, but do what's best for YOUR team. Whether you make a fair deal or not is irrelevant. Some of my best deals were one-sided against me but I got what I needed to win.

Justin (St Paul)

Do you think Steven Jackson ever gets going this season or should I stick with Sproles as my RB2 in a PPR League?

Eric Karabell

  (3:32 PM)

I think you should stick with both of them and play the matchups each week. Yes, I would trust Jackson. He's just a bit hurt right now.

Kevin (Long Island)

You say Rivers will be good, but do you trust him for the year? How much of an upgrade would RGIII be? Enough to trade D. Murray (who's on my bench)?

Eric Karabell

  (3:34 PM)

I think Rivers is a borderline top-10 QB. He's showing some of the same issues he did a year ago, so he's no lock. But he's durable and should get his 4,000 yards and 25 TDs. Griffin runs, should hold his value in the top 10. Would I deal a top-10 RB for either? Prob not.

rob (LA, CA)

sit eli versus tough PHI def and play schaub versus pathetic Tenn D?

Eric Karabell

  (3:34 PM)

I think Eli is a weekly play, regardless of matchups. And he's had good success in this rivalry.

Matt (Steinway)

Can you explain your ranking of Andre Brown over Ahmad Bradshaw?

Eric Karabell

  (3:35 PM)

I think Brown will do better. Split carries, mainly.

Andy (Chicago)

Beanie wasn't that good to begin with but with this recent turf toe is it time to say good bye for the season?

Eric Karabell

  (3:35 PM)

Beanie had a number of big games last season, so while I agree he's not that good, he's been good. He's just always hurt. I would not cut him.

Jason (STL)

Would you drop Lafell for Barden if you own Nicks?

Eric Karabell

  (3:36 PM)

At WR it doesn't matter who you already own. I think LaFell is better than Barden, so no.

Rich (NYC)

Commish in my league proposed and the other party accepted:McCoy for Colston, Pitta, and Morris and the guy giving away McCoy has K smith and Greene as his best Rbs...highly vetoable right?

Eric Karabell

  (3:36 PM)

Well, it's a shame. I try to avoid leagues where biased owners can veto trades. It ruins everything. This deal appears a bit odd.

Please HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! (GA)

First time asking anything on a chat, I think you know the most of the ESPN experts, I have Foster, Charles, Matthews, Doug Martin, and Fred Jackson. Any recommendations for a WR that i can target in a trade?

Eric Karabell

  (3:37 PM)

I couldn't possibly imagine what another owner in your league would or would not deal. See if you can move Mathews or Martin for a borderline top 10 WR. Start there.

Eric (DC)

Better upside play: Lamar Miller or one of the Denver backs (Hillman/Ball)?

Eric Karabell

  (3:39 PM)

Miller. I think Thomas would start if Bush sits, but Miller is better than Hillman/Ball.

Sully (Not Boston)

Can I cut Hillis for Draughn or K Bell (I heard something is up with Bush)?You also put LaFell ahead of J Simpson - but who has bigger upside?

Eric Karabell

  (3:39 PM)

I don't think Draughn or KBell will matter much. And LaFell has upside.

Dan (NYC)

Enjoying your video commentary this season, Eric. Who do you like better long term--Bilal Powell or Lamar Miller?

Eric Karabell

  (3:40 PM)

Thanks. And Miller could be a very good fantasy option soon depending on Bush. And I like him in dynasty formats.

Ira (Chicago)

Multiple other owners in my league have sent me ridiculous lowball trade offers. What's the most tactful way to tell them to cut it out?

Eric Karabell

  (3:40 PM)

Just kindly decline. No point in getting in war of words. Nobody wins.

Jackson (everywhere)

good afternoon....what are ur thoughts on starting two players from the same team? i have Nicks and Bennett but also have Rudolph on my bench....should two players on the same team affect my decision? thanks in davance

Eric Karabell

  (3:40 PM)

In that case no, it should not affect any decisions. Only time I think about it is with RB and WR.

Eric (FL)

How good is the Vikings run D (currently ranked 2nd)? They got MJD week 1 right after the holdout, an Indy team without a solid RB, and a SF team that played from behind and had to abandon the run

Eric Karabell

  (3:41 PM)

I think you just pointed out why looking at team stats after only 3 weeks is foolish. Vikings have a decent run D, but I don't sit my RB because of it.

Isaac (St. Louis)

How comfortable would you feel starting Flacco, Rice and Torrey this week? All from the same team, or I could start Jennings.

Eric Karabell

  (3:42 PM)

Well, I would start Jennings over Torrey regardless of my other starters.

Eric (TO)

you have reggie and sproles pretty close. i am in a 1ppr and .5ppcarry - does that change anything?

Eric Karabell

  (3:42 PM)

Yeah. I'd go Sproles then.

Greg Jennings (GB)

Am I destined to be a big fantasy dud this year?

Eric Karabell

  (3:43 PM)

If the referees had called his touchdown correct Monday night we wouldn't be seeing posts like these. No dud here.

Jake (San Jose)

How concerned are you about Brandon Marshall going forward? Hasn't been great since week 1.

Eric Karabell

  (3:43 PM)

Not concerned at all. Cutler is vastly overrated, real and fantasy, but he'll find Marshall plenty.

Chris (Tampa)

How about dropping Gerhart for Bilal?

Eric Karabell

  (3:44 PM)

That's about all Gerhart has been doing, dropping...

Ron (San Diego)

You have SJax and Tate pretty close in your rankings. Think it's crazy to play Tate over SJax considering the match-up????

Eric Karabell

  (3:46 PM)

Not at all crazy. Certainly Jackson should get more touches.

Marques Colston (NOR)

Have you watched any tape on Colston? What is with Lance Moore getting more targets this season?

Eric Karabell

  (3:47 PM)

Blame the offense. One week Sproles gets 15 targets, the next none. It really is a mess there. But you can't cut Colston.

Silvia (Poughkeepsie)

Think Andrew Hawkins role could increase?

Eric Karabell

  (3:48 PM)

Doubtful. He's already got a large role. I could see more receptions moving forward, but fewer touchdowns.

Marc (Ny)

Feeling on Matt forte this week?

Eric Karabell

  (3:48 PM)

Not playing this week.

Sean (NY)

I think all chats should stop answering questions with any variation of "am I crazy for doing this" attached to the question

Eric Karabell

  (3:49 PM)

My favorites are the ones where the trade has already been made and they say "was I crazy for doing this..." I mean, it's a bit late, no? And aren't we ALL a bit crazy... look what we're doing right now.

Brian (Baltimore)

Thoughts on Cobb the ROS? any hope or just pray for special teams TDs??

Eric Karabell

  (3:49 PM)

I like Cobb this week against a horrible defense, but there is no indication he'll be breaking out this season.

Jake (San Jose)

Certainly glad I listened to you and picked up Leshoure before this week. My team is in pretty good shape so don't really need anyone in the short term, any other sneaky pickups to I can stash for later in the season?

Eric Karabell

  (3:50 PM)

That will be in Friday's blog, I believe. I'm sure we'll find someone for you to pick up...

Ross (Des Moines)

Earlier you said the Saints offense is a mess, and I would agree it affects the backs and receivers a good amount. But I think it slightly boosts Brees' value given that they will likely be playing behind or in close games moreso than they have in years. What are your thoughts?

Eric Karabell

  (3:50 PM)

I rank Brees as a top 3 QB for the season, so clearly I am not worried.

Dante (Minny)

Can Ryan Mathews by trusted ROS as a feature back? The entire Chargers offense was off versus the Falcons.

Eric Karabell

  (3:50 PM)

Buy low. The best is ahead.

Stephen (Los Angeles)

If McGahee practices fully before Sunday's game, would you start him over Andre Brown this week?

Eric Karabell

  (3:51 PM)

Probably.

Ben (LA)

Thoughts about Gates for ROS?

Eric Karabell

  (3:51 PM)

Vastly overrated, but should be productive. If you can move him there are tight ends on free agency that can do 75 percent of what he will do.

Joe (NY)

Your thought on Vincent Jackson ROS in Tampa? Thanks

Eric Karabell

  (3:52 PM)

Should go nuts this week against Washington, and ultimately will finish in the 12-16 range among WRs.

Brian (Baltimore)

How is Leshoure a sneaky pickup? He was drafted in all my leagues

Eric Karabell

  (3:53 PM)

Two days ago he was owned in 30 percent of ESPN leagues. Two weeks ago he was owned in 10 percent. I can't speak to all your leagues, but kudos to you. I was talking about Leshoure in August.

Trent (AL)

Do you like Martin this week or will TB throw all day?

Eric Karabell

  (3:54 PM)

I think both Tampa and Washington will be moving the football at will.

Trent (AL)

Does Wilson stay in the doghouse all year?

Eric Karabell

  (3:54 PM)

I don't think it's a dog house. Brown is just better and certainly Bradshaw is.

Dan (Ny)

Before you said to hold on to Bennie. what if you had A foster MJD BJGE and Turner as your other RB? Should I wait it out?

Eric Karabell

  (3:55 PM)

That's irrelevant. It depends who you are dropping him for. If Beanie suddenly becomes a star, you've got trade bait.

Glenn (Austin)

Hi. Will Dez Bryant ever get going ? Thank you

Eric Karabell

  (3:55 PM)

Also really overrated... 1 100-yard game in his career! C'mon man!

Glenn (Austin)

Hi. When Stewart returns (or even without him) can Deangelo ever be trusted as a starter? thank you

Eric Karabell

  (3:56 PM)

I don't think a Carolina running back can be a fantasy starter with Cam there.

tom (boston)

would you trade luck for either flacco or big ben?

Eric Karabell

  (3:56 PM)

Yes and yes. And I like Luck.

Max (HEEELLLPP)

Crossing fingers you see this. Drop Meachem for Blackmon?

Eric Karabell

  (3:56 PM)

No. Neither are doing much, but I don't wanna rely on the Jaguars passing.

Perry (Boston)

What made you rank Jordy Nelson ahead of Greg Jennings in your updated rankings this week? Jennings led the team in targets and Jordy was barely involved this week.

Eric Karabell

  (3:57 PM)

I generally don't make assumptions based on one game.

John (DC)

Would you start Ced Benson over Mike Turner this week? Both have juicy matchups....

Eric Karabell

  (3:57 PM)

I wouldn't, but it's not outrageous.

Adam (NYC)

would you start both Brown & Bradshaw or are you against starting both RB from same team?

Eric Karabell

  (3:57 PM)

I'd really try to avoid it...

Stephen (Los Angeles)

you've answered a few back-to-back questions from the same guys this chat. is that accidental, or do you even look at who's doing the asking?

Eric Karabell

  (3:58 PM)

I'm just going as fast as I can... not looking at who sends.

Charlie Manuel (Philly)

EK, Sorry about this season. If you're deep at RB, would you roll the dice and trade LeShoure for CJ2k and hope that CJ turns the corner?

Eric Karabell

  (3:59 PM)

Well, thanks. Heading to the Bank soon for my last Phils game of the season. Sad. Anyway, I like Leshoure. Always have. I'd keep him, but I do think buying low on Johnson, within reason, makes sense.

Matt (DC)

Can you envision a point this season at which you'd start Kyle Rudolph over Antonio Gates?

Eric Karabell

  (3:59 PM)

I can.

Brett (Atlanta)

If McGahee doesn't go, who gets the bulk of carries?

Eric Karabell

  (3:59 PM)

Prob Moreno, but he's hurt, too. Ball is next.

Eric Karabell

  (4:00 PM)

OK, that is one hour, and my time is up. Hope I got to your questions. Wow, thousands of questions in here... you guys and gals are awesome. Have a great day and best of luck in Week 4 and beyond!
