Love

Alfred Morris, RB, WAS – To be clear, I couldn’t care less if RGIII plays or not.  Even if he plays, Morris’ workload WILL increase as a precaution to try and keep Griffen from running too much.  Morris was already an irreplaceable factor for this offense and given his youth, they won’t be afraid to lean on him.

Vincent Jackson, WR, TB – The Buccaneers are headed on the road to New Orleans this week and that means there are two bad defenses on the field and the potential for a lot of points to be scored.  Jackson has been an amazing addition for Tampa and they have been able to keep him VERY productive.  They are going to have to throw deep to keep up with Brees and that should mean plenty of opportunity for VJax.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB, CIN – The Law Firm has been on a tear lately and with a game against the Eagles (among the worst defenses in the NFL since firing Juan Castillo) this week, there is no reason to expect a change.  Law Firm is typically a mid-to-low end RB2 but in this matchu-up, he falls just outside the top 10.

Danario Alexander, WR, SD – Alexander continues to be a force for the Chargers offense that took down Pittsburgh this past week.  Danario is a large man that uses that size to box-out defenders and give Philip Rivers somewhere to throw.  So far he is the only guy getting open with any consistency and that isn’t likely to change against a shaky Panthers secondary.

Cam Newton, QB, CAR – There is no hotter QB in the NFL at the moment and especially so for fantasy owners.  Newton has had 37, 28 and 36 fantasy points in the past 3 weeks. Atlanta is the only defense that was really any good in this stretch but San Diego is far from a great defense too and I think, if your still alive in the playoffs, you’ve GOTTA keep Newton in there.

Jamaal Charles, RB, KC – This may seem like an obvious one here but Charles owners should have high hopes this week.  The Raiders are just 26th against the run and they are struggling as of late.  Charles is the entirety of the Kansas City offense and is almost certain to see the 100 yard mark this week.

Hate

Michael Turner, RB, ATL – The fact that Turner keeled over in exhaustion at the end of the game and by coincidence fell over the goal line does not give me any confidence.  Watch the tape people, this isn’t the same guy you had on your team three years ago.  He’s too slow to get through a hole and into the second and third levels like he used to, leave him on your bench because ALL of his value is at the goal line.  It’s like starting Michael Bush.

Denarius Moore, WR, OAK – I won’t be surprised if he gets a big game here but it’s about risk in the playoffs and that is one thing that Moore has in spades.  The whole Raiders team is floundering a little bit and while Moore was good for you in the middle of the season, don’t look for it here.  I know the match up is appealing but you need safe and consistent, not a hail-mary.

Jay Cutler, QB, CHI – The Packers do not have a crippling defense by any means but the Bears DO have a pretty bad offensive line.  Clay Matthews is set to return and with all that rest, he’s going to be coming back with a vengeance. If he gets in Cutler’s face early on, it will frustrate the Bears signal caller and we’ve all seen him play when he is frustrated.

Torrey Smith, WR, BAL – Mr. Smith, have you met Champ Bailey?  You are about to.  Old man Bailey has been playing like he’s 25 again this season and he’s doing that all with the added experience that comes from actually being 34 years old.  Jim Caldwell will utilize Ray Rice much more now that he has the offensive coordinator position and that makes Smith nothing more than a poor flex option this week. 27th among WRs in my rankings.

Bryce Brown, RB, PHI – I can’t believe analysts can still put Brown as an RB 2 this week.  I had him at 20 last week, after consecutive great games and now that he just put up zero points last week, they have him higher… it doesn’t add up to me.  You won the lottery if you started this guy and won last week, don’t try and win it twice.

Alfred Morris, RB, WAS – I have watched a LOT of Redskins film this season because of all the RG3 questions.  While watching this film, I have fallen in love with the Redskins rookie. No, not Griffen! I’m talking about Alfred Morris of course! This guy has been a beast. He has a surprisingly few number of weaknesses that I can see on tape. He has phenomenal vision; In week 4, there was just one run where I was not sure why he went to the hole he did and he still made a 4 yard gain out of it because of his power. This guy squats 650 lbs, which is an insanely high number for a guy who is 5’11” 222 lbs. He is always moving forward when tackled and is VERY rarely taken down by the first contact. Not much else to say, he is a top 10 guy until he gives me a single reason not to believe in him.

Jay Cutler, QB, CHI – I assure you, this isn’t me over reacting to last week when Cutler played very well. I still feel he is risky and prone to bone-headed turnovers. But the Jaguars are among the worst teams in the league and their secondary is known to not be effective against elite receivers, which I believe that Marshall is. I look for both guys to have a really good game this week.

Percy Harvin, WR, MIN – The Vikings are simply put, a MUCH better team than we anticipated. Harvin was a high draft pick on my board this year but he has still managed to out-perform my expectations. After all, he is currently the 16th best receiver in the league as far as fantasy points is concerned without scoring a touchdown in the passing game OR running game yet. He’s been great and he’ll be getting even better. I am not too worried about Jerome Simpson taking targets because Harvin is mostly a big-play guy anyways, he won’t need a high volume of targets to be productive.

Ryan Mathews, RB, SD – Jackie Battle is a hot waiver-wire pickup because all of a sudden, he is splitting time with Mathews. I want to caution Mathews owners a bit to not panic and bench their guy. You drafted him and your stuck with him until he starts producing and then you can make a trade but until then, you should LIKE the fact that Battle is seeing work. Mathews is among the least durable starting RBs in football by reputation and if he is sure to see 20+ touches a game, I don’t think he can possibly stay healthy.

Eric Decker, WR, DEN – New England did a good job of containing Steve Johnson last week against the Bills and it led to Donald Jones having his most productive game of his career. I don’t have any worries about Demaryius Thomas but rather I am just demonstrating that no matter who it is, you want to play your potential starting receivers against the Patriots secondary.

Hate

C.J. Spiller, RB, BUF – This is a guy who, despite the bad week last week, is a must-start fantasy back. But after the speedy return from injury and considering the crushing match-up ahead of Buffalo, I caution you to think of the Bills RBs as a poor RB 2 or solid flex play this week and no more.

Pierre Garcon, WR, WAS – I am still high on Garcon’s upside for the season and wish I owned him… but this week isn’t the best time to play him if you can avoid it.  I know it’ll be his second game back and he suffered no setbacks at all last week, but I think it best to temper expectations on him so that you don’t get burned. Atlanta isn’t a soft match up and Garcon is a flex play for me personally.

DeAngelo Williams, RB, CAR – The Panthers running game is a bit of a nightmare for fantasy owners under normal circumstances and with the Seahawks’ crushing defense coming to town, I want no part of Williams at all.  Stewart is a bad flex play but only because he is the more likely target in the passing game. Try and stay clear of both guys this week.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, BUF – If you read my stuff, you’ll see plenty of negative talk surrounding Ryan Fitzpatrick because I am a Buffalo native and die-hard Bills fan.  From a fantasy perspective however, he’s been pretty awesome as a QB2. He has been making some BAD throws all season and has a lot of turnovers. For fantasy owners, he has thrown more TD passes than any QB in the league despite his mistakes and benefits greatly from a punishing rushing attack.  This week, it looks like Buffalo will be down two offensive linemen and facing them 49ers. ONLY in 2 QB leagues is he a playable guy and even then, it’s mostly because we are missing the bye week guys.

Cam Newton, QB, CAR – You still got to use him but he is at #8 in my rankings and that means you have to lower expectations quite a bit.  Seattle is in town and they have only allowed double digit fantasy points to the opposing QB once this year and Romo only had 12 in that game. I would be pretty surprised to see Newton over 20 points unless he has a big rushing day or a couple goal line rushing scores.

Robert Griffen III, QB, WAS – This isn’t a matter of me changing my mind or jumping to a conclusion. I feel as though I have been very level-headed and consistent in my analysis of RG3 thus far.  The reason that Griffen is even STARTABLE is not his arm, rather his legs.  Just as with Tebow being a top 10 guy at the end of last season, the consistency that 50 or so rushing yards provides a quarterback is undeniable. That yardage is worth two points throwing but 5  points with his feet. The reason that I have the rookie in my top 3 for this week is the match up; Tampa Bay is the absolute worst pass defense in the league over three weeks.  They are also the absolute BEST rush defense.  Now your saying “I thought RG3′s value was dependent on running the ball?!” It is but defending a QB is a lot different than defending the standard rushing threat and the stats on this defense are still skewed by the 10 yard rushing day of the Panthers in week 1. You can’t bench this guy this week unless you own Rodgers or Brady, who I simply refuse to bench for any reason still.

Wes Welker, WR, NE – All the concerns aside, this week I have none.  Buffalo’s new defensive scheme has not really clicked with the guys on the feild yet and except for against the Chiefs, they really haven’t held anyone down yet. They HAVE made strides each week but the play in the secondary has been poor and the only chance they will have at containing the Pats is to pressure Brady.  When Brady gets pressure, they run a lot of short passing routes to Welker. This game has the potential to be the highest fantasy point total of the season for all Patriot weapons in the passing game.

Doug Martin, RB, TB – What the Redskins dealt with the last two weeks is what I believe will be the norm.  A high-scoring game where the Skins’ defense just craps out on them by the end.  Adam Carriker and Brian Orakpo were the best two players on the front seven of Washington and since they are both on IR, all bets are off.  It will at least take a couple of months for them to fill these holes and become capable of stuffing the run.  Martin may not have been a stat-machine thus far but he has looked really good on film and is due a break out performance VERY soon. I believe it will be this week.

Matt Ryan, QB, CAR – The Falcons at home are just one of the most appealing offenses for fantasy owners. The dome provides perfect conditions to move the ball in the air and even outdoors, these Falcons have been nothing short of impressive thus far.  With New Orleans three games back already, the division is theirs for the taking and they will be thought of as the best team in the NFC before long if San Francisco doesn’t get back on track immediately. He’s in that elite class as far as I am concerned for as long as Cam and Stafford are still struggling.

Vincent Jackson, WR, TB – He is a VERY hit or miss guy, so I wouldn’t fall-over if he literally had zero points on Monday. This is why he didn’t crack the top 20. The match up dictates that you’ve got to get him in your lineup though.  I’ve already talked about the injuries in the front-seven but Orakpo was by and far the best pass rusher the Skins had

Cedric Benson, RB, GB – He really hasn’t looked too impressive yet. He had a nice game and the Packers are definitely using him so that is enough when you play against the worst rush defense in the league.  New Orleans has allowed big games to running backs each week thus far and the team is just in turmoil right now. Green Bay is mad about the “loss” to the Seahawks on Monday night and they are finally getting back to regular, regular-season games. By that I mean not in prime-time, rather on Sunday afternoon.  Don’t over-think it here, It is a pretty safe bet to start a running back whose opponent is allowing an average of 215 yards per game on the ground.

Hate

Matt Schaub, QB, HOU – Last week was his best week and it’s not that I actually hate the guy, I just want to caution his owners here.  This is a RUN-FIRST team…Don’t forget.  Don’t get upset that he was on your bench for the big week and try and get him in there this week in a good match-up. Good match-ups scare me more here because I am so worried that the Texans just run the ball down the throat of the Titans the entire game with both backs and Schaub gets almost nothing done.

Jay Cutler, QB, CHI – Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I hate you.  Your not going to fool me again, Jay. He’s talented enough to have a good game this week but I want Forte back and some consistent numbers before I trust Cutler as a top 10 guy again. Also, the Cowboys defense has been very good this year and is among the most underrated defenses in the league.

Jordy Nelson, WR, GB – He’s fallen to a flex-play, surprisingly.  While I believe that he and the Packers offense will rebound well this season, I want to know more about how they are going to use these guys before I consider him the WR2 I expected him to be.

Stevan Ridley, RB, NE – Despite all the scoring that I think is going to happen in this game, I’d have to say to just bench Ridley this week if you’ve got a good roster.  The Pats really seemed back to a committee in the backfield against the Ravens and the way to beat my Bills is vertically down the field. Shh, don’t tell the Patriots.

Kenny Britt, WR, TEN – He might still rank as a flex-option but that is only because of the bye weeks.  Britt looked better last week and if he had a good match-up i’d rank him as a really solid flex-guy but try and avoid using him against the Texans, who just bottle up Demaryius Thomas last week.

Studs

Reggie Bush, RB, MIA – Bush carried the ball 26 times for 172 yards and 2 scores with an added 25 receiving yards on 3 catches. He was week 2′s highest scoring player and is on what was thought to be one of the worst teams in the NFL.  For the record, I still think they are but west coast teams always struggle on the road to an east coast city for a 1 o’clock start. Also, the Raiders aren’t as good as I thought thus far and they could NOT contain Bush at all. Tannehill simply didn’t throw any interceptions and that was the ball game. This was a great draft day pick and he’s a must-start at the moment. The offense will come back down to earth against the Jets, especially if Revis is back. Bush will still be a great flex option or low-end #2 RB.

Hakeem Nicks, WR, NYG – Nicks just beat up on Aqib Talib all day. He was effective in the first half when the Giants offense wasn’t as a whole and he was pivotal on the final drive and came up with the big play when it was needed most.  I think he’s still a shade behind Cruz in the rankings but it is close and Nicks remains the safer and more consistent of the two. This week showed that he still has plenty of upside as he put up 199 yards on 10 catches with a score. Cruz had similar numbers but his stats are much more invested in one play (80 yard TD) than Nicks’.

Robert Griffen III, QB, WAS – Griffen was more impressive to me this week than last week. The Shanahan offense is going to look good with this guy at the helm but I’m starting to worry about this team winning many games, which is pretty much how it went for Newton.  Shanahan is doing a good job of incorporating some of RGIII’s college playbook into the offense to keep him comfortable and he’s throwing accurately down the field. He got his team up big early and the defense let them down.  Expect more of this with Orakpo and Adam Carriker on injured reserve. These were KEY players on the front-seven and they simply won’t be able to fill those needs with the people on their roster. So what i’m hearing is that Griffen will be throwing more late in the game and he should be quite an effective junk-time player as well. He’s a top 5 QB at the moment. Even if this wave doesn’t last, ride it to a few wins while you can.

C.J. Spiller, RB, BUF – Spiller has an average yards per carry of OVER 10 yards. No RB has done this over a two week span since Jim Brown forever ago. Impressive, to say the least. We were all so blinded by the defensive line that we may have missed the maturation of Buffalo’s OFFENSIVE line. Spiller has had BIG holes to run through against KC as well as the Jets (more impressive). The team has also not allowed a single sack yet this season. Fitzpatrick is even worse than we thought but congrats Spiller owners, he’s playing his way to the starting job and the lion’s share of the carries after Jackson is back. Cleveland next week, so I’ll be sure to have more fun-facts on this guy again next week. Top 3 RB next week.

Willis McGahee, RB, DEN – Once that first quarter ended, the Broncos were pretty much the team we were expecting.  The hole they dug was simply too deep to climb out of. Playing from behind the entire time, McGahee tallied 22 carries for 113 yards and 2 TDs. He may not have the same physical prowess he did in his youth but Manning will do a lot for his value the rest of the way.  Manning knows when they should be running the ball and has done a good job of audible-ing into effective running plays, most notably inside the 5 yard line.  Lastly, don’t worry about seeing Lance Ball and Knowshon Moreno get some carries. McGahee isn’t a young guy and these carries are about keeping his legs fresh.

Trent Richardson, RB, CLE – The Bengals were supposed to be a good defense, I don’t know what happened.  They were fine from a fantasy-perspective thanks to a return TD but they were assaulted by Richardson and Weeden.  I believe that if Haden was active in this game, the Browns would have won. Richardson’s value depends on the offensive line and Weeden keeping the passing game relevant. If I owned Richardson, which I don’t, I’d feel pretty decent about him as my RB2.

Danny Amendola, WR, STL – I don’t have anything new to say after my Pickups/Dump List post. But how can I not include him here? 15 grabs, 160 yards and a score.

Duds

Jamaal Charles, RB, KC – There are a lot of confusing reports about why Charles saw barely any work in this lopsided defeat. Some are saying that he simply wasn’t getting it done and was pulled and others say he suffered a minor set-back to his knee injury and was sidelined to preserve the work he’s put in rehabbing since last season.  I don’t know what happened but I do know that he gave me one point in 2 leagues and that’s not acceptable.  I personally don’t think he saw enough carries to reasonably be benched for poor performance and lean towards the set-back side of the conversation, which is potentially worse. If he plays, I’m gonna start him. I was a firm believer in the preseason and I’m a stubborn guy.

Jay Cutler, QB, CHI – I’m not going to discuss his rant or the pre-game comments. I’m going to talk about fantasy points. He had two. I severely mis-judged Cutler in this match up and it’s because I let the poor secondary play of the Packers in week 1 distract me from the perpetually poor offensive line play of the Bears. Marshall was bottled up in man coverage with a safety keeping a lid on the deep routes all game and they both got frustrated.  Cutler couldn’t find a guy down the field under the pressure that Clay Matthews was bringing and forced some bad throws.  The day could have been salvaged if Marshall didn’t drop that pass in the end-zone.

Brandon Marshall, WR, CHI – Read above.  They were both so bad, they each just needed to be named on this list. Don’t worry much going forward though, they’ll remain a competitive team.

Chris Johnson, RB, TEN – He doesn’t have an offensive line to open and holes for him and on the few occasions they do open one up, he isn’t running through them.  It’s like last season all over again and I’m getting close to suggesting you bail out and dump him in almost any trade you can make happen. He needs to use his quickness to burst through the opening and get into the second level before he starts trying to dance a round and break off a HUGE gain.

Dez Bryant, WR, DAL – The Cowboys just never seem to put it all together over multiple weeks. They go on the road to Seattle, which isn’t easy but they just knocked off the defending champs in Week 1 and sights were set high.  Get ready for a roller coaster.  Ill let Bryant be the poster-boy for this failure but everyone but Murray was a disappointment.  They’ll keep being a hot and cold offense but your going to have to keep them out there unless the cold spells last more than 2 weeks in a row.

Peyton Manning, QB, DEN – Don’t panic about this one but three first-quarter interceptions is not a promising way to start a game on the road.  This was his first road game since his return and I suppose it got to him early on.  He looked good later though and audibles to a run at the goal line which kept him from a decent fantasy-point total on the week.  He wasn’t drafted as an elite guy so you can expect some sub-optimal games but he’s still going to be quite effective.

Andre Johnson, WR, HOU – The Texans are a run-first team and there is a reason why Johnson went late.  I bit too hard on his week 1 performance and ranked him on talent. There will be games when the Texans have no need to push the ball through the air and while you are going to have to start him, hopefully he is your WR2.

Love

C.J. Spiller, RB, BUF – I’m just re-aggravating myself about week 1 as I write this but Spiller has the reins of this offense in his hands and currently is the NFL’s leading rusher.  Who knows what to expect from the Bills defense but no matter what you say about them, you have to admit that they found a way to provide fantasy-production to their players by the time the game ended.

A.J. Green, WR, CIN – The Bengals lost a bad game bloody this week and they now have probably the easiest match-up of the season as the Browns come to town. To make matters worse, Joe Haden is officially suspended and will not be with the team this week so there won’t be ANYONE to contain Green in this game. He is among the best receivers in the NFL already in his young career and this could well be his best game of the season.

Matt Ryan, QB, ATL – Ryan played a phenomenal game last week on the road against the Chiefs. Rumor has it that Arrowhead is a tough place to play and it just didn’t matter. With Ryan’s track record for being a BETTER player at home, you can not bench him now. The Broncos are coming to play in the dome and that bodes well for Peyton too so we could have a shoot out on our hands and Ryan owners sure won’t mind that.

Jordy Nelson, WR, GB – Chicago couldn’t even cover Reggie Wayne last week.  He had 9 catches on 18 targets and racked up 135 receiving yards (most in the NFL).  Greg Jennings has a groin injury and is listed as doubtful for Thursday night.  Historically speaking, doubtful is as good as being listed as out so Nelson will have a nice match-up in a potential shoot-out. Must start this week.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB, CIN – If you DON’T love the law firm this week, you clearly didn’t watch the same week 1 performance that I did. He had 18 carries for 91 yards and a score, which was good enough to make him the 11th best back for the week. What’s most impressive is that he did it against a terrible match-up in a blow-out loss. He is a MUST start against the Browns who are just about the worst team in the NFL this season.  He should see a lot of work to close out the win and I would be shocked if he wasn’t over 100 yards.

Jay Cutler, QB, CHI – Cutler makes it into my top 10 QB’s for the week with a tough Thursday night match-up against the Packers. Alex Smith pretty well carved up this defense last week and while they will certainly be out for redemption, Cutler has a more prolific offense at his disposal and I think he should be in for another 300 yard passing game whether they win or lose.

Alfred Morris, RB, WAS – Coach Shanahan’s running backs… I know. I can’t blame you even a little bit if you just refuse to start this guy but let’s take a look at Shanahan’s offenses historically. His best teams were with a mobile quarterback and a featured running back.  From John Elway and Terrell Davis to Jake Plummer with Clinton Portis/Reuben Droughns, Shanahan has always strived to set up an offense like the one he now has.  Griffen fits the mold of the big-armed mobile QB that he always wants to use but he will still be rough around the edges and Morris will carry the load to keep the offense on-track. There is still at minimum, a 35% chance that Morris gets just 5 carries this week but It’s a nice match-up vs the Rams and I’m willing to make that gamble because no back has ever gotten as many carries in a game as Morris did in week 1 for the Redskins with Shanahan at the helm.

Hate

Michael Turner, RB, ATL – I said all preseason that until I see something to indicate that Turner is declining, I won’t be expecting it.  I haven’t seen much of the game but just by looking at the stat-line, I can tell you that he just wasn’t given near the touches he used to.  Especially on the road.  Atlanta will look to bury Peyton in points this week at home and I think we need to downgrade Turner to a low-end RB2 or flex play for the time being. Don’t just bench him without much thought though… he’s still the lead back and will see a good amount of goal line work.

Ben Roethlisberger, QB, PIT – I absolutely think the Steelers win this game, I just think it’s an ugly one.  I have no faith in the Jets offense because Sanchez has never really shown consistency before but their Defense is DEFINITELY the real deal.   They loosened up against Buffalo and allowed both yardage and points in junk-time but they won’t be running away with this one offensively so that won’t be an option.  If you drafted Ben, you almost certainly got yourself a very quality backup so this is a week to use him.

Kevin Ogletree, WR, DAL – Don’t overreact here.  You did a good thing picking him up but there is a plethora of receiving talent on his offense and he isn’t going to move up past the slot receiver for quite some time, no matter how well he does. We’ve likely seen his best game of the season and I don’t want to take a chance with him until he proves it wasn’t a fluke.

Michael Vick, QB, PHI – Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, I’m just an idiot.  You may not have a choice but to play him anyways but don’t expect much against the Ravens defense.  McCoy will be just fine but I’m just no longer convinced that Vick is the same play-maker he was two years ago.  With his injury risk, you have a backup and should consider him this week (especially Cutler!)

Jonathan Dwyer, RB, PIT – The match-up is tough so he’s likely not a starter even if Mendenhall is out again.  If Mendenhall DOES play, he is a definite sit.

Question 1. Asked by @gibbyp2

@BigJim_SFL Laurent Robinson WR (JAC) or Justin Blackmon WR (JAC)?

Answer

I love Blackmon in his first ever pro-game. He has vaulted to the top of the depth chart in Jacksonville and had some early chemistry with Gabbert in the preseason.  Minnesota allowed the third most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers (25.1 points per game) and I think that Gabbert will be able to move the ball reasonably effectively. Robinson’s success last season was at least partially due to the Cowboys offense and plethora of quality wide-outs to draw coverage from the defense.  I do not think he will be Gabbert’s favorite target or the highest stat-producer because he is at the top of the depth chart currently and this will draw attention and double teams.  Robinson won’t crack my top 50 until he proves that he can handle being the #1 guy, which I don’t think will happen.

Question 2. Asked by @Skinny7878

Start Rivers or Cutler? Someone/anyone HELP!! #FantasyFootball #FantasyFootballForLife

Answer

This is one of the few tough questions I’ve faced so far this week. To get right to the point, I say play Cutler.  The Bears offense is going to be productive this week.  Yes they are going to run more than usual, but the connection between Cutler and Marshall is legitimate and these two guys WILL be connecting throughout the game.  Rivers on the other-hand has a pretty weak receiving corps and is facing a better secondary. Rivers IS the more talented of the two but I just don’t see him as the better play this week.

Question 3. Asked by @TheRealDVance

@BigJim_SFL Trade question for ya sir. I’m wanting to get Willis McGahee but he is wanting Jordy Nelson. He is also throwing in Lance Moore.

Answer

This is simply too high of a price to pay. I like McGahee and I think you can talk him down off of Nelson. He knows that he is asking too much and is just fishing for a great deal.  If he is serious and won’t talk more reasonably… just walk away. McGahee isn’t going to suddenly become a top 10 guy now that Peyton is in town and you can just wait a while and play the waiver wire lottery in the mean time. Or look to another team to make a trade.
