    I don't think you did outside of Rothlesberger. He's going to be solid but not much ceiling, I'm guessing 10th-11th best QB. Otherwise, its a good team. Marshall and Fitzgerald are going to kill it this year.

    Waived Streater for Schaub and week 1 looks like a win for this team. Up 92 to 83.68 with Schaub for me still to play and Johnson for my opponent.

    Week 2 and 3 both sucked cause of injuries (Fitzgerald, Rice) and general suckitude that is my QB situation. One guy has Manning and Rodgers so I'm trying to get one of the two. Any tips on offers.

    What does he need? Did you pick up any of the hot waiver guys over the first 3 weeks? When they're healthy you're fairly strong at WR.

    Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.

    Picked up Pierce to play for Rice last week for Stewart.

    The offer is Marshall for Air Packer (Rodgers).

    Nice. Good for you if you can get it. Depends on how bad he needs a wr.

    His WR:
    Golden Tate
    Tavon Austin
    Dwayne Bowe

    Should I fiddle around and try and counter or just take it and hope Fitzgerald comes around?

    I think Fitz is fine. He played the whole game Sunday. Carson had 0 time. He's got Tampa this week that could be another tough one.

    Are you playing PPR? If not that could make Marshall a little more valuable. But you're really in a rough spot at qb. I think you have to take it. IMO rolling with Nelson, Fitz and Nicks is a safer bet than sticking out with Big Ben.

    Re: How bad did I screw up this draft?

    My team as of now:

    Start 1 qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 te, 1 flex, 1 kicker, 1 d.
    QB: *Aaron Rodgers

    RB:
    *Frank Gore
    *Ray Rice
    LeVon Bell
    *Willis McGahee
    Jason Snelling (Bye)

    WR:
    *Jordy Nelson
    *Larry Fitzgerald
    Steve Johnson
    Hakeem Nicks
    Sidney Rice

    TE:
    *Coby Fleener
    Tony Gonzalez BYE

    Kicker:
    *Matt Prater

    Defense:
    *Cincinnati

    Anything you'd change at this point? Was considering waving Johnson if I found a quality WR.
