Sometimes I offer trades with different players or slightly modified to give you options in which one you like. And sometimes I just mess up or change my mind, heh.

Well, I'm happy with my waiver wire picks this week. Now I just need trades to come in.

Predictions this week, nothing hardcore here:
I gotta take myself +20 over Leww. I'm not sure I'll win out, but +20? Cruz will eat into Manningham/Nicks' scores, Holmes will have a solid day, Branch may catch a TD. McFadden + MJD beats Peterson + Jones, but Fitzpatrick should crush Schaub. On the plus side, my D will score way more than the sucky Eagles D.
Maybe if you had someone better than Johnny Knox...
Tough choice on Stamford vs. the Jays. Calvin and Dez are liable to rack up big numbers, but Matt Ryan? Shonn Greene? Fred Jackson will be amazing, but Ryan Torain is a risky option I can't put faith in and the Saints D is pretty bad. The difference maker could be Janikowski. I'm gonna go with the Jays +1 on a very close outing. Shonn Greene does Stamford in a narrow loss.
Biwinning vs. Parkin City, with Biwinning getting 21...if he started Cam Newton, he certainly wouldn't be getting 21. But I'd take Parkin City even -21, though a different QB would make things closer. But I can't see his team beating the Rodgers/Welker/Forte combo, especially backed by value plays like Pierre Garcon.
In the Gildersome Giants vs. Put Tebow In matchup...surprisingly tough. Surprisingly enough, Darren Sproles and Ahmad Bradshaw have been excellent pointmakers, even if Bradshaw is a bit low...and Green-Ellis is nursing an injury. Romo faces a weak NE defense, but Miles Austin makes any of Romo's success a double-edged sword and Drew Brees WILL put up points. I think Moss catches a long bomb, Chandler nabs a TD, he remembers to put a D in and covers 16.
Finally, the Spider Pigs are +11 facing the winless Scooters...but I like the Scooters in an upset. Big day for Brady against an average to bad D, Hillis to have a rare big day against the bad Oakland run D and Turner to be decent, Heyward-Bay catches a TD. Daniel Thomas and DeSean Jackson are the keys that can turn it to one side or another. Will DeSean bust out or home run this week? I'm calling bust out, but that to be evened by a similar bust out with Thomas.

You're going down!
Eagles D already has an INT. And Cruz is going back to 2nd string baby!
Don't knock knox... he's all I got.

I'm surprised the Eagles finally showed up to a game on D.
But I'm still in the 20 point cover range for my guess, at least. MJD, come alive!
The Giants really forgot to set a D? Was it that hard to put it in your starting rotation after getting it off waivers?
Intereeeeesting.
Also, I knew the 49ers would show up, haha. Go Alex Smith! (I like the Lions, but...Alex Smith makes me lol)

Also, I was surprised you didn't get a FA WR over Knox already...so.

What happened with Cruz anyway? I know he was 3rd string/slot, but did they take him out of that or something? And if so, who do they have in?

Since when does Blaine Gabbert score over MJD?

Saints @ TB without Blount, though? That's a matchup that is just fine. And next two weeks are vs Ind and @ StL for their D...I may finally keep a defense longer than 1 week. Yes, it's Week 6, and I've played 6 different defenses.
And so far everyone's performing as you'd expect in my matchup w/ Dave except Megatron hasn't put up much. And Jordy Nelson gets another long bomb...that's two weeks now where he's hit double digits off of a single reception.

Nicks and Manningham XD and some other guy. Cruz has 1 catch for 6 yds, but he's also dropped a couple. Mannignham should have had that TD but the play got reversed.
