Eric Karabell

  (3:01 PM)

Hello all and welcome to the latest fantasy sports chat session. I am Eric, and we've got one hour to answer as many relevant questions as possible. Thanks for showing up, and here we go!

Ted (CA)

Hey Eric, been waiting all morning to get your opinion on this: Garcon or Ryan Williams at flex this week?

Eric Karabell

  (3:01 PM)

Well, my flex rankings come out Thursday, but I can't see a scenario in which Garcon is on top there. Williams has a nice matchup and I'm not worried about last week with him.

Ryan Willams (AZ)

Dont you think im a better option than CJ2K even though you didn't rank me that way???

Eric Karabell

  (3:01 PM)

Um, no. I would have ranked you that way if I believed it.

Xander (Philly)

Which side wins this trade: Vincent Jackson and Dez Bryant for Chris Johnson and Michael Crabtree. Thanks!

Eric Karabell

  (3:02 PM)

Ugh, so much disappointment there. I'd take the Chris Johnson side because I still think there's a potential top 10 RB there. Bryant is pretty underwhelming, and not a ton better than Crabtree. And man, how did Josh Freeman have such a great 2010? He looks awful.

me (here)

Would you trade away Big Ben and Antonio Brown to receive Stafford and Hakeem Nicks? Stafford would become my backup QB...

Eric Karabell

  (3:03 PM)

Really? Yeah, quickly. But be prepared for more missed games from Nicks.

John (Long Beach, CA)

IS Shonn Greene on the OK to drop list yet?????

Eric Karabell

  (3:03 PM)

Can't imagine things get much better this weekend, but as always it depends on who you are adding. I no longer expect Greene to rush for 1,000 yards. By Week 7 Bilal Powell might be splitting the carries evenly.

Alex (Brooklyn)

Hey Eric, Im looking to trade Andy Dalton for either Alfred Morris or Green-Ellis, which back would you rather have going forward?

Eric Karabell

  (3:05 PM)

Great trade if you can get either one. I'm starting to think Mike Shanahan isn't so crazy. In my end of season rankings Tuesday I had Morris a few spots better than Law Firm.

Brian (NJ)

J. Jones or Hartline this week?

Eric Karabell

  (3:05 PM)

Assuming that is James Jones and not Julio, but the rankings are up for all to see, and they are free! I chose James Jones.

Derrick (FL)

EK, Thanks for the help. Pick two, PPR league, Crabtree, Garcon, or Benson?

Eric Karabell

  (3:06 PM)

I ranked Garcon 2 spots better than Crabtree, and Benson is a lock here, so it's Garcon and Benson.

Sal (NJ)

Start Fitzpatrick or Ponder this week? Your take?

Eric Karabell

  (3:07 PM)

I like Ponder. Ranked him well and compared him to a noteworthy QB from 2011 in my blog today. Fitzpatrick might end up with 30 touchdowns and 30 picks.

Sal (NJ)

I have first wavier wire pick this week and available are: Hartline, Battle, Bolden, and J. Jones? Select who? Going with a RB as of now?

Eric Karabell

  (3:07 PM)

I don't think Bolden is worth it. I'd say Hartline then Battle.

Brian (NY)

After Monday night, do you think Witten is a solid TE1 for the rest of the season? Particularly over Pettigrew, Davis, and Chandler, but feel free to give general TE advice. Should I try to upgrade?

Eric Karabell

  (3:08 PM)

It was mostly trash time, but Witten looks healthy and his dropsies are hopefully over. I'd say TE1, back end. And over the guys you mentioned, though Pettigrew is right with him.

Joe (Milwaukee)

Ethics Question: In a league where trades are approved or vetoed based on a league vote, what do you put into consideration when evaluating the trade? A trade of mine was just vetoed because the rest of the league didn't want to see my 3-1 team get Ray Rice. Thoughts?

Eric Karabell

  (3:09 PM)

And you just summarized why I don't like to play in leagues in which trades can be vetoed. Ethics? It's within the rules, but I don't like it.

Sam (Ohio)

It seems Cincinatti doesn't trust Law Firm's goal line rushing, has his value gone down at all or is he still a solid RB2/Flex play ROS?

Eric Karabell

  (3:09 PM)

I think Cincy trusts him, but man, those fumbles are a problem. They must stop. The guy had NEVER fumbled before!

Anabelle (Dallas)

TEBOW TIME! Should I pick him up?

Eric Karabell

  (3:10 PM)

I think there's a decent chance he's starting before the end of the month, and he has ALWAYS produced for fantasy. He doesn't need wide receivers, either, which is good, because the Jets don't have 'em.

David (Mason)

The stage couldn't be set any better for Ryan Williams tomorrow night. Solo primetime game, poor run d, 80-90% of the touches. Will he burst onto the sceen and grab his star or maintain his mediocre status?

Eric Karabell

  (3:10 PM)

I think we all know who he is, and he's owned in all leagues. I could see 100 yards and a score, but I ranked for the under.

Brian (White)

First time chatting...Thanks for all your insight. I was offered Doug Martin and Gronk for Martellus Bennett and DeMarco Murray. What do you think? I'm hesitant that I am giving up too soon on Murray. After Baltimore in Week 6, it looks like his schedule gets a bit easier. My other RBs though are Foster, Spiller and Turner. Thanks, Eric!

Eric Karabell

  (3:11 PM)

Agree it's premature to give up on Murray, but Martin is pretty good and that Gronk guy... do the trade.

Eric (Boston)

What do you think will be the value for FJAX/Spiller ROS? Who will be more productive?

Eric Karabell

  (3:12 PM)

I ranked them 24/25, so I think each is a flex instead of RB2. Jackson gets more carries, Spiller catches passes, it's anyone's guess who scores touchdowns.

John (CT)

TRADE: I was offered Gates for Ryan williams. Which side wins? I have Martin, BJGE and Charles

Eric Karabell

  (3:12 PM)

Gates has done nothing. Looks like a shadow of his former self. He should have a big game against the Saints, but then I'd sell high. Williams... he's no lock, but I'd probably not make that deal. You can find a tight end elsewhere. Keep the RB depth.

TJ (Portland, ME)

Better for rest of season and beyond: Dez Bryant or Julio Jones?

Eric Karabell

  (3:13 PM)

Easily Jones. Not even close. Bryant looks unfocused and certainly off the field he's got issues. Jones is inconsistently productive, but Bryant just had his second career 100-yard game. That's it.

Kevin (NJ)

Lance Moore will finish the season as a top 15 wr this year?

Eric Karabell

  (3:14 PM)

I think it's time to buy low, but top 15 seems extreme.

Jimbo (LA)

Any value to Powell, backup of ryan williams?

Eric Karabell

  (3:14 PM)

I suppose, but it's problematic that he's next in line, and the Cardinals really don't run the ball well. They just defend.

Matt (DC)

I'm tempted to trade Arian Foster because of my concern he will be unavailable for the fantasy playoffs because it looks like Houston is going to clinch early. Is this a strategy you would endorse?

Eric Karabell

  (3:15 PM)

Read my mind. But I'm definitely in the camp that I want to use Foster to get to the fantasy playoffs, so it depends on who the trade is for. It's the Strasburg theory in baseball... we knew he'd be shut down, but man the ride to that point was worth it.

C (NY Jets )

Its not all Marks fault right? Come on 2 AFC championship games

Eric Karabell

  (3:16 PM)

Sanchez was set up to fail, frankly. It's sad. No. 10 fantasy QB last season, though the interceptions were a problem. Still, he was fine. Now, he's useless. The championship games are irrelevant; statistically he was fine.

Roberto (New New York)

Would you trade Vick straight up for D. Martin. RG3 is my starter.

Eric Karabell

  (3:16 PM)

I would. But you should be able to get more in return.

Fifty Shades of Heyward-Bey (AZ)

Waiver wire tonight - dropping Titus Young (so disappointed) for an upside WR for weeks 6-8...Hixon, Mike Williams, Kerley? Thanks!

Eric Karabell

  (3:17 PM)

Yeah, I can't make a great case to keep Titus owned in shallow leagues. Plenty of WRs out there. I'd say Hixon can be useful at any time, because of Nicks being made of paper.

Evan (Boise)

I was offered Ryan Mathews for my Leshoure. With the Jackie Battle news, should I still run to accept this?

Eric Karabell

  (3:17 PM)

I would. Leshoure got opportunity, but the production is no lock. Mathews will produce, even if Battle takes a few receptions and the goal line stuff, like Tolbert did in 2011.

Bill Peterson (Atlanta)

Can you speak to your ranking of Jackie Battle over Michale Bush? Would you start both over Andrew Hawkins?

Eric Karabell

  (3:18 PM)

Battle is going to see touches, and the goal line stuff. I think he sees more touches than Bush, and it's about the best matchup possible against the Saints. And yes, both over Hawkins.

David (Fayetteville)

If active would you start Britt against Minn

Eric Karabell

  (3:18 PM)

Depends on other options, but I like Britt and think he will play well if he plays.

Steve (NYC)

Would you trade Flacco straight up for Ryan Mathews? Brady's my starter

Eric Karabell

  (3:19 PM)

Yes. And for others wondering about their situations, I'd trade pretty much ANY QB in the 11-20 region for a RB in the same region.

Matt (ILL)

Why should you expect to get more than Doug Martin for Vick? Most analysts don't even have him in the top ten QB's anymore, so he's not even a starter in most leagues...

Eric Karabell

  (3:19 PM)

I disagree. I think most analysts love Vick. I don't. He'll get hurt. But Martin is a rookie and he hasn't exactly been awesome so far, and now he's allowed Blount back into the picture.

Tyler (Baltimore)

Would you trade Spiller straight up for Harvin?

Eric Karabell

  (3:19 PM)

I would.

Tom (Houston)

Are Pitta and Rudolph just early season studs, needed to be sold high. Or will they hold value through the season and keep performing?

Eric Karabell

  (3:20 PM)

No, I think each of them has the skills and opportunity to finish among the top 10 tight ends. I ranked them close to that.

Why oh Why (Mathews Owner)

I drafted him in the third round and now Battle is the starter? Is ryan droppable yet?

Eric Karabell

  (3:20 PM)

Don't worry about who starts. Mathews will be fine. Don't drop him!

Alan (NJ)

Is Andre Brown worth dropping?

Eric Karabell

  (3:21 PM)

He I would consider cutting. Looked awful in Week 4 and Bradshaw is fine now. Talk about people overrating a guy.

Brian (Chicago)

Piggy backing off Matt in DC's earlier question about Foster possibly being shut down toward the end of the season, could you then assume that Tate's value will shoot up come fantasy playoff time?

Eric Karabell

  (3:21 PM)

Not necessarily. If the Texans really do clinch everything by Thanksgiving, which they can't because they'll play for top seed, I expect some Foster, some Tate, some of another RB.

Brian (NY)

Why did rest of season rankings become an Insider feature?

Eric Karabell

  (3:22 PM)

Always have been. I just write.

Sean (NY)

It doesnt matter who the starting back is.. what matters is who the feature back is, and that is Matthews

Eric Karabell

  (3:22 PM)

Agreed.

Larry (TN)

How do you feel about starting Battle vs. NO instead of CJ vs. MIN? (I guess I'm looking for devil's advocate response because I've seen your rankings)

Eric Karabell

  (3:23 PM)

I think it's risky, but then again, Johnson has been a nightmare to own. I just think there's more upside with him... but also obviously a worse floor.

Tom (Houston)

Is it ill-advised to start a WR and TE that are on the same team?

Eric Karabell

  (3:23 PM)

Depends who they are, but not really.

Drew (Bloomsburg)

Thoughts on Stafford? I know everyone preaches patience but I'm not convinced he's the same guy as last year.

Eric Karabell

  (3:24 PM)

I agree, but still think he can be a top-10 QB. Best should be yet to come, but I wouldn't trade for him as a top-5 QB anymore.

Greg (Maryland)

Won't Jerome Simpson's arrival in MIN eat into Rudolph's targets/value? What is a good sample size before determining something like this?

Eric Karabell

  (3:25 PM)

There is none. Each team is different. In Harvin's case, I like another threat for Ponder, because Harvin might see fewer double teams. Rudolph runs far different routes than Simpson. I wouldn't overrate this.

Jerome Simpson (Minnesota)

Am I going to have my first 1,000 yard season this year?

Eric Karabell

  (3:25 PM)

Talent is there, but I will take the under.

Jake (CA)

I have Pierre Thomas on my bench havent used him yet, andre brown just went to waiver, should I drop Pierre and get andre?? I will need to use this RB in week 7

Eric Karabell

  (3:25 PM)

I think Thomas is just fine for a one-week spot start.

Nick (Atlanta)

With Ramses Barden having a concussion, would you pick up and play Domenik Hixon if Nicks cannot play this week?

Eric Karabell

  (3:25 PM)

I already did. Hixon was the guy last week.

Matt (Frisco)

Why wasn't more written about the 3 long pass interference calls Simpson drew?

Eric Karabell

  (3:26 PM)

Well, does you league count that as a fantasy stat? We know Simpson is a deep threat and he opens the field up, which is why I think Harvin's value goes up, not down.

Matt (SC)

I was offered Brees and Murray for Foster and Vick. Given the injury concerns with Vick and the fantasy playoff playing time concerns for Foster should I pull the trigger? Thanks EK

Eric Karabell

  (3:27 PM)

It's a fair trade, yes. But don't get too concerned about December. Things can change quickly. With Vick, definite injury concerns. Any of these guys can get hurt, except Brees.

hilljacktater (the sticks)

You are not concerned about TE/WR tandem, generally - but what about RB/WR, specifically Shady/Maclin?

Eric Karabell

  (3:28 PM)

I'm more concerned about RB/WR than any other combination, yes. But Maclin isn't a stud anyway. It's more for two guys that are RB2/WR2...

Steve (NY)

I'm sorry but how can the "feature back" be listed as RB2 on a team's depth chart?!

Eric Karabell

  (3:28 PM)

I don't know why anyone would ever worry about a depth chart.

Kit (MASS)

Time to sell-high on RG3?

Eric Karabell

  (3:29 PM)

I don't think he'll finish as fantasy's top player, so in that respect, yes. But you should get a ton back.

Jimbo (LA)

Thoughts on Jacobs return? Does he hurt Gore a lot? Any impact on Kendall?

Eric Karabell

  (3:29 PM)

Can't imagine he plays much of a role at all.

Daniel M (Brooklyn)

How do you feel about starting both fitzgerald and Williams tomorrow?

Eric Karabell

  (3:29 PM)

That situation wouldn't bother me when the matchup is right, which it is.

Chris (Lexington)

Do you think Bolden dips into Ridley's workload?

Eric Karabell

  (3:30 PM)

In a closer game, no. I don't think it's a bad thing when running backs share, as long as they are productive. And Ridley is productive. Check out Turner in ATL; looks great with only 14 rushing attempts per game.

Chris (Philly)

LaFell, Hixon or James Jones for the long haul?

Eric Karabell

  (3:31 PM)

LaFell. His opportunity is not affected by injuries to others.

Ryan Mathews (SD)

I am no longer a RB2 for the season. I am a flex and Battle is now the RB2. True or false?

Eric Karabell

  (3:31 PM)

False. And last Mathews question.

Todd (Philly)

DEF question - Seahawks or Cardinals ROS? I want to trade one in a package to an owner needing a DEF - help!

Eric Karabell

  (3:32 PM)

I'd sell the Cardinals and keep Seattle.

Matt (Steinway)

Is Stafford and Amendola too much to give up in a .5PPR to get Ryan? Keep in mind with my league's scoring Amendola is the #3 WR on the year.

Eric Karabell

  (3:32 PM)

Do not make that trade.

Chris (USA)

You ranked Meachem much higher than your fellow rankers, why? If he lays another egg this week, safe to drop in a 12 team league?

Eric Karabell

  (3:32 PM)

The matchup. Saints are awful. And don't underestimate the revenge factor; Meachem played there for 4 years. But if he does nothing, yes, I'd be done with him.

Greg Jennings (Green Bay)

Should my owners start me this week?

Eric Karabell

  (3:33 PM)

I doubt he plays, but if he does, he'd be in my WR2 range.

John (Fresno)

Is Jacob Tamme a viable starter in a 12 team league or is he heading into droppable territory?

Eric Karabell

  (3:33 PM)

I've been unimpressed so far, to say the least.

Brian (My office)

Can you make Tony Romo stop turning the ball over, or help Dez Bryant learn to catch?

Eric Karabell

  (3:34 PM)

No and no, but I will say Romo is gonna be fine. He's always fine in the regular season. Was the No. 9 PLAYER regardless of position for 2011. Bryant has different issues.

Dave (NYC)

Kyle Rudolph was just dropped in my league, would you drop Tamme for him?

Eric Karabell

  (3:34 PM)

Yeah, actually I would.

Raquel (Tampa)

I have Nicks. If he doesn't start, would it be crazy to start lloyd and welker has my WR1 and 2? My other receivers are floyd, amendola and maclin.

Eric Karabell

  (3:35 PM)

Nope. But I would go with Floyd. He has to do well against the Saints.

Sean (NY)

Thoughts on stashing Jahvid Best in a PPR league.. Will he have any late season value?

Eric Karabell

  (3:35 PM)

I honestly think even Best does not know. Concussions are a problem here, and I'm starting to believe we don't see him in October.

Jason (NC)

Is Russell Wilson's lack of success a skill issue, or are the coaches not using him properly?

Eric Karabell

  (3:36 PM)

Neither. They run the ball effectively and want Wilson to be conservative.

Shawn (GB)

Do you send LeShoure and Amendola for Jordy Nelson

Eric Karabell

  (3:36 PM)

I doubt it.

Brian (Philly)

Do you see Olsen as a top 10 TE ROS?

Eric Karabell

  (3:37 PM)

I do not, but it doesn't mean Olsen isn't worth owning. He's good. Tremendous tight end depth this season.

Pat (Bronx)

EK, do you think Luck has the potential to finish in the top 10 QBs this year based on the lack of running game, poor defense and skillset?

Eric Karabell

  (3:37 PM)

If he can control the interceptions, I could see this happening. I mean, Sanchez was No. 10 last year. Luck would have to run a bit.

Chris (USA)

Need to drop one of the following for a kicker this week, all these guys are currently just bench depth: Pierre Thomas, Mendenhall, Hawkins, Meachem, Hartline

Eric Karabell

  (3:38 PM)

Prob Hawkins.

Justin (St Paul)

Has Gates dropped off so much that Olsen is a better play in a PPR league?

Eric Karabell

  (3:38 PM)

I think we'll feel differently about Gates come this time next week, but the case can be made for Olsen.

Fred (Iowa)

Another ethics question...In our baseball league, the championship is coming down to W's. On Monday, one of the finalists dropped almost every hitter on his team--in order to pick up literally every one of today's (Wednesday's) scheduled starting pitchers on the waiver wire. He's not starting all those pitchers, obviously, but he wanted to ensure his opponent couldn't pick any of them up. Fair or Foul?

Eric Karabell

  (3:39 PM)

Fair. I've seen it before. People get made when it happens to them because THEY didn't think of it.

Chris (B/CS)

What are your thoughts going forward on Andre Roberts?

Eric Karabell

  (3:40 PM)

This is not the week to use him, but I don't believe a second WR can't do well next to Fitzgerald.

Trent (NY)

Saints are #1 against the TE YTD....

Eric Karabell

  (3:41 PM)

Yeah, I touched on that today in the blog. Weird, right? But in that case it could be what their opponents were doing. I'm confident Gates can do something on the Saints.

Tyler (Northbrook, IL)

What are you thinking for Gore ROS? I was looking to trade for him, but am concerned that his touches will diminish with Jacobs coming back. This it's worth trading Law Firm & Williams?

Eric Karabell

  (3:42 PM)

I really don't think Jacobs will play a significant role. Perhaps a few goal line looks, but Gore is pretty safe.

Rick (Kansas)

How will cold weather start affecting Payton Manning and the rest of Denver's offense? Should we be trading them before its too late or am I just overthinking? All of Peyton's success has came mostly in a dome.

Eric Karabell

  (3:42 PM)

Well, he played in a dome for home games. I'm not worried about this one bit.

David (Seattle)

I don't understand the ranking vs projected fantasy score works... Chris Johnson is ranked ahead of Ryan Williams yet Ryan Williams is projected to score 13 points this week vs Chris Johnson's 7. How can someone be ranked ahead of someone who is projected to almost double the score of the other?

Eric Karabell

  (3:43 PM)

Difference of opinion. I don't have a role in projections. I just rank what I think. We at ESPN give many opinions for you to sort through.

Chris (Richmond)

I have to leave very soon, please answer. Nate Washington or Hartline, ROS?

Eric Karabell

  (3:44 PM)

Well, if that's the case, sorry for the delay... Hartline.

Sean (NY)

Use those as a guide, and make your own lineup decisions, David

Eric Karabell

  (3:44 PM)

That too.

Bill (RI)

Pick one ROS... Romo, Rivers, Schuab?

Eric Karabell

  (3:45 PM)

That order.

Sean (WI)

Is it crazy to think that AP will regain his title as best fantasy player?

Eric Karabell

  (3:45 PM)

Not crazy at all.

Larry (Ohio)

Is Hillis droppable if you don't own Charles?

Eric Karabell

  (3:46 PM)

Yes. Even if you do own Charles.

Eric (Needham, MA)

Why did you rank Turner ahead of McGahee this week? Don't you think the Falcons will pass all day on the Skins?

Eric Karabell

  (3:46 PM)

I think the Falcons will do just about whatever they want to the Skins. That's a common misconception about bad defenses...

Zeshan (ATL)

What are your thoughts on Berry's analysis? Do you consider yourself better?

Eric Karabell

  (3:47 PM)

I think the fact we're both here at ESPN is proof we're both good at our jobs. He reads my work, I read his.

Brian (Chicago)

This isn't a question, just a snarky comment, but I think it's funny how people always ask you if they should trade somebody like Jackie Battle and Michael Crabtree for Aaron Rodgers and Arian Foster knowing the person they'd want to trade with would simply laugh at them in the face.

Eric Karabell

  (3:48 PM)

If it makes them feel better, I'm all for it.

Jeff (NY, NY)

Do you think that you may be low on McGahee for the rest of the season? He looks to me to be a 1400 yards from scrimmage +8-10 td guy.

Eric Karabell

  (3:49 PM)

Wouldn't be the first time he was underrated, but that's a lot of numbers there.

AK (Milwaukee)

If you were starting Dalton at QB, would you trade Megatron to get RGIII?

Eric Karabell

  (3:49 PM)

No, I would not. And good luck getting Megatron for a QB.

mike (san diego)

tebow worth #1 waiver wire pick?

Eric Karabell

  (3:50 PM)

No. Would be nice to get him now, but don't expect him to start next week. Jets management knows Sanchez is going to struggle again this week. Look who they are playing.

Bill (Florida)

Drop Hanson or J. Simpson to pick up a starting Kicker this week?

Eric Karabell

  (3:51 PM)

There is never any reason at all in the world to own two kickers at once. Cut the kicker, add a kicker.

Brad (PA)

Over/Under 15 carries for Mendy this week? Is he really a worse option than FJax against the Niner Dline?

Eric Karabell

  (3:52 PM)

Coming off rebuilt knee, my October expectations for Mendenhall are low. But he should keep getting better.

Confusus (())

So if everyone here seems to believe Battle is taking over Matthews job, wouldn't now be a good time to buy Matthews? Be smart people.

Eric Karabell

  (3:52 PM)

Pretend that was a retweet.

Mike (WI)

Follow-up to James Jones vs Hartline...do you still say Jones for ROS? And will Jones's stock continue to rise this year?

Eric Karabell

  (3:53 PM)

Wait, are you asking if I changed my mind in the past 30 minutes? That's funny! Ask me again in 6 minutes. I say Hartline. Jones' value is dependent on Jennings. And Jennings shouldn't miss much time.

Bill (LA)

Some crazy person dumped Romo... drop Ronnie Hillman or Bilal Powell to get him?

Eric Karabell

  (3:53 PM)

Absolutely.

ERic (Henderson, NV)

Hey EK, A lot of people need to realize that the Eagles Run D is that good. They have some new playmakers in the front seven.

Eric Karabell

  (3:54 PM)

I don't think anyone expects Mendenhall to have a big Week 5 game. I don't.

Xander (Philly)

Did you know that the same actor that played Inigo Montoya from the 80's classic The Princess Bride is the same actor that plays Saul in the Showtime hit Homeland?

Eric Karabell

  (3:54 PM)

I sure did.

Steve (NC)

Followed your advice to buy low on Romo and got him and SJax for Dalton and Donald Brown. Was this smart or am I going to regret it?

Eric Karabell

  (3:55 PM)

Kudos to you.

Tim (NY)

Would you trade Steve Smith and CJ Spiller for Julio and Battle?

Eric Karabell

  (3:56 PM)

No. And I think people are greatly overrating the long term value for Battle.

Chris (SO Cal)

Vick Or ponder this week?

Eric Karabell

  (3:57 PM)

Vick. He's reasonably healthy today.

Sharon Briandi (Rochester ny)

Enough of the Boys Club...Please answer my question...I am 0-4 so i need to shake thinks up...pick two Benson,Battle, Greenellis

Eric Karabell

  (3:58 PM)

Well then! (I don't look at who sends...) Benson and Green-Ellis.

Brian (Chicago)

I'm thinking of offering Jackie Battle and Michael Crabtree for Aaron Rodgers and Arian Foster? Do you think this is a good idea?

Eric Karabell

  (3:58 PM)

Eh. If you wanna finish in last place, go for it.

Jack (New York)

So you are saying i have to drop Zuerlein when the times comes for his bye?

Eric Karabell

  (3:59 PM)

Nah. Drop Aaron Rodgers.

Sean (NY)

PPR vacuum.. Jamal Charles for Megatron.. Which side do you have? Also, is Hankerson irrelevant once Garcon is 100%?

Eric Karabell

  (3:59 PM)

Charles, but it's close. And will Garcon ever be 100 percent?

Sean (New Haven, CT)

Didn't we all do the Jackie Battle dance last year? He had a better line in KC and was awful. Case closed. Superior talent (Mathews) always wins out.

Eric Karabell

  (4:01 PM)

And we'll let Sean have the final word. Though I have more to say: Thanks to all for the great questions this week, and look for more chats on Thurs/Fri. Remember there is always a Thursday night game, and most importantly, have fun out there and enjoy! Adios!
