Benson, Tatum will still get the ball in denver, and if Benson is really gonna start they will deal Jones to get a WR

Yeah, I can see that happening.

I'm excited....being the Chicagoan I am. 🙂

Jones may go to NYJ, considering Martin may not play this year and no proven players behind him.

jets would need some talent to deal in return though and who would that be?

also Cedric Houston has some potential.

We'll glady take Vilma? 😛

Or considering the original topic was Bears WR's, how about Coles?

Sadly, since Payton retired, the Bears don't know what it means to move the chains. Coles would be a waste of talent here. They rely on their defense to create favorable field position. ...very trying as a fan.

But Coles is perfect to move the chains...he isnt the burner he was, he's a possession reciever.

But the Jet's wont give up Coles, because after that, they have nonbody.

Need a little advice:

I'm looking to deal Tatum Bell to someone, in the hopes that not everyone knows he's backup to Dayne right now. I've already offered trades for Corey Dilln and D. Davis...which seemed to be the best I might conceivably get for Bell.

But, assuming those fall through, here are my other options that I'm interested in:

In this order:
C. Benson
F. Taylor
J. Jones
K. Jones
F. Gore
W. Parker
J. Lewis
R. Droughns
R. Dayne
A. Green

...

Is there anyone on the list that should be higher? Lower? Someone I forgot? Or someone that shouldn't be there?

Generally I'm just looking for input, since they all seem roughly the same to me, and I don't know which ones would be the best deal for Bell.

Id honestly take pretty much anyone for bell cause i cant see him ever being worth a fantasy start.

Someone would be crazy to give you dillon or Davis for Dane, even if Dane was the #1 in denver.

Fred Taylor.. hes pretty much a garunteed injury every year now. And Greg Jones has showed he can be a beast backing him up.

Out of people i actually think youd have a shot at getting and have a decent situation id target Droughns, Benson, Lewis, Jones pretty much in that order. Also maybe try getting Deangelo williams you may even be able to upgrade another position like give Tatum and a WR for williams and a slightly better WR, that is if they think tatum is gonna start. But if you need a garunteed started at week 1 this would be a risky move.

-cosigned (for the most part)

Thanks guys.

I'm not looking for Tatum to start. But I'll need someone to fill in on bye weeks, and he's my best option right now (maybe eddie kennison too). So I'm looking to upgrade my bench. Not completely imperitive, but it would help.

Anyway, I'll keep those things in mind, especially the injury stuff.

i would definitely try to get droughns, parker,k jones and benson are possible studs, tj duckett is a td machine at times, nobody else comes to mind at the time but those could help.

Good news: I got our league switched back to the original roster settings. The post-draft change was annoying to say the least, and now things are back to normal and I have one of the stronger teams again.

Still trying to deal Bell. No one wants to bite.

call me crazy, but it sounds to me like we have enough people here to have a small league of our own if a draft time could be agreed upon. Or we could even do it as an offline draft totaly on here over a few days if a live time couldnt be agreed upon.

I figure Myself, Digi, Smasandian, BobbyD, and Botankus atleast and then if at least 1 more for an even 6 or maybe even get up to 8 with some of the other football guys.

Lemme know if your up for it i think it could be fun

I'd be up for it. Maybe an afternoon/early evening draft (EST)?

Forum, I wouldn't mind if I could do it at an agreed upon time.

...sounds like fun. But, my only intentions would be to sharpen my drafting skills in anticipation of my upcoming draft. Keep me posted....

psst....hey guys, rumor out of Cleveland is that Braylon Edwards COULD be ready for the season opener. Worth a flyer?

It's worth flushing the city down the toilet with his teammates and their fans.

So BobbyD, you up for this fantasy league?

I don't want to be in it, if you guys hope to make this competitive/serious. I'm not your kind of entrant then. Botox ( 😂 )....er um, I mean Botankus....I'm only in it if to really hone sharpne my drafting skills.

....really sorry guys if I'm being a stinker. But, you're all big boys-you can handle it.
