Stacy > Bush
Maclin = Sanders

Wildcard is Benjamin. I got him in one draft, didn't in my other but wanted him. Sounds like trade worked out for both. He gave up a little more up front talent and added solid depth at WR.

I'd go Sanders > Maclin because 1) Welker gone for 25% of the season and one hit away from being out for the year and 2) Maclin is a high risk high reward player, dude flat out can't stay healthy and 3) Peyton Manning > Foles

Yeah, I'm not a huge Maclin guy, very unproven. Will be interesting. But Peyton likes to spread it around and Julius Thomas may end up being the #2 target there to Demaryius.

Any Dolphin fans here have any idea how much fantasy Lamar Miller should have this season?

Not a fan, but from what I have read, he will get the early down roles, and Knowshon Moreno will get the 3rd down and passing down roles. Moreno has been getting better while Miller has been stagnant.

I had Lamar Miller last year as a RB3/flex option, very frustrating. Dolphins gave him plenty of chances to take that #1 role and he never could. He may turn it around this year but I steered way clear in both of my drafts.

Knowshon is the starter, and Miller is #2.

According to the CBS Fantasy Site, Miller is still listed as the starter but it can change before kickoff on Sunday. That hasn't stopped me from playing Moreno as my flex option this weekend as the Dolphins play the Patriots (gave up the 3rd most rushing ypg last season).


22 hrs ago | by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.comLamar Miller listed as starter


The Dolphins' first depth chart lists Lamar Miller as the starter at running back overKnowshon Moreno, reports the Miami Herald. But the paper adds that "it's all subject to change of course."


Miller had a disappointing preseason, while Moreno averaged 6.4 yards per carry in his one preseason appearance.

Edit: Beat me to it Dandy

Made a trade an got Emmanuel Sanders and Zac Stacy for Reggie Bush, Jeremy Maclin, and Kelvin Benjamin. He had Demaryius Thomas (didn't want 2 Broncos receivers, wanted more receiver depth). I think I owned that trade.
Nice. Stacy's projected numbers went up when Bradford went down. And maybe it's my anti-Mizzou bias but I have never thought that Maclin was that good. He can't seem to stay healthy long enough to be a consistent performer. With Decker gone and Welker down and out for 4 games and one more bell ringing away from retirement, I think Sanders is going to be a solid play. You made out well in that trade.

Just received a trade proposal to get Chris Johnson and a 5th round pick next year and give up Frank Gore and a last round pick.

Thoughts on if I should take this trade? Both Gore and Johnson will probably split carries.

I'm interested to hear thoughts on this as well, since I currently have CJ2K (ha!) in my flex spot.

On the surface, I'd say no because I'd think Gore would be better THIS year. But I'm not one to make trades to benefit my team for a year in advance, either. Probably also somewhat depends on what other backs you have. If Johnson is only going to be a RB3/Flex for you, could be worth it.

Current RBs:
Jamaal Charles
Toby Gerhart
Gore
Vereen
Joique Bell

Gore (or Johnson) would be either RB2 or competing for the Flex spot with the other RBs or Randall Cobb, Cordarrelle Patterson, or Pierre Garcon at WR.

I'm not a fan of a trade that benefits one team this year, and the other team next year. Even if I'm getting steal, I keep all my **** in the same season.

If it were me, I'd keep Gore. You'd be stacked at RB, imo. Johnson might end up as productive, but I wouldn't count on it.

I still think you'd be alright without Gore, just not quite as good.

So...I need to find another running back option other than Lamar Miller.

Why would Gore or CJ be your RB2? I'd start Vereen or Bell over Gore, and definitely over Johnson. Same with Gerhart. If it were me I'd start Charles at RB1, then either Bell or Gerhart (probably Bell) at RB2 and then Vereen at flex. Seems like the only thing you're getting out of the trade is an extra 5th round pick next year, which isn't a bad thing. You're plenty strong and deep at RB without making the trade.

Johnson has a great matchup against Oakland. The other backs might have better seasons but Johnson should have the better week 1 stats. Unless your leage is PPR, I'd put Bell in the flex.
