Not according to ESPN.It says that I have waiver position.
I was under the impression that FA's didnt happen automatically, but were granted till Thursday and whoever is in the waiver wire got first dibs?
Once you pick someone up you generally go to the bottom. So you have top position now, but were probably #2 before forum picked up Cincy.

nope FA are different from waivers. If someone is a FA they can be instantly added to any team at any time. The only time your waiver order matters is when someone is listed as on the Waiver Wire. Then everyone can put in a claim for who they want and once the waiver period is over whoever had the highest waiver order gets them. If no one put a claim in on them they become a FA and its first come first served.
Oh and I was mistaken about my waiver position.

I'm playing Forum this week. Looking at the "Preview," don't you just love how it gave the advantage checkmark to Roethlisberger over Palmer? I will admit that even I was surprised by that one.
that is odd. But is also puts Holmes above Lee Evans, coles above chambers, and driver above ward.. none of which id really agree with.

hes not calling anything off before the 4th quarter and bengals should have multiple scores by halftime alone.
Maybe not call off, but once you have a healthy lead (14 pts. or so) it's smart to run a lot anyway. In any case, I have Rudi in one of my two money leagues and I'm even more psyched than if I had Palmer or Johnson.

It also has the Bengals D (yeah I know it's vs. Browns) above the Steelers D and Adrian Peterson above Rudi Johnson (vs. Browns). You could also make an argument that Akers might have the advantage for this particular week.
Maybe someone just programmed the code backwards.
I made an offer. Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but Fitzgerald is likely > Galloway. I couldn't just give you a WR for a non-WR, because I'm not terribly deep at that position either, but you'd be getting an upgrade in your WR slot and wouldn't be giving up too much talent to me otherwise.
Just for others' curiosity, the trade offer is Fitzgerald, B. Jackson, and V. Davis for Shockey, Jones-Drew and Galloway.

Depends on how badly you need a WR and how much you care about Depth. Fitz is the best player in this deal but (i think) jones drew and shockey have a good bit more value than jackson and davis. And Galloway isnt exactly a bum throw in either.

Hopefully. I'm sacrificing probably the best player in the deal (Larry) for some depth. Vernon Davis looks like he might be a bust in that offense, and Smas is starting someone else (witten?) so I'm willing to do it from my end.
Yeah, seems good.
I dont really care about Davis because I think Whitten is going to have a big season and Shockey wasnt really anything last year.
I rather give away Jones for Fitz because I do lack WR's now with the trade for Rudi, so basically in the end, I end up with Rudi Johnson and Fitzgerald, and losing Jones Drew, Shockey and Chad Johnson.
Well when you guys did the Rudi for Chad trade I was like hmmm should I wait to process this because I am playing botankus. But then I was like nah I cant be an evil commish ill just go ahead and process it. If I dont do anything I think it will take 2 days to go through though normally.
side note louisville just had a 100 yard run.
