Ok, so if Jeremiah is going to rate himself I will as well…
Advice: Pick Justin McCareins over Chansi Stuckey and Justin Gage.
Result: McCareins, 37 yards; Gage, 92 yards; Stuckey, 12 yards
Verdict: I got the right team but the wrong player, costing David six points in standard Yahoo scoring. Sorry, David.
Advice: Greg Jennings and Santana Moss over Torry Holt, DeSean Jackson and Donte Stallworth; Reggie Bush over Jonathan Stewart and Thomas Jones.
Result: Jennings, 109 yards, 2 TD; Moss, 145 yards; Bush, 38 total yards; Holt, 65 yards; Jackson, 106 total yards, 1 TD, 1 fumble; Stewart, 52 yards, 1 TD; Jones, 69 total yards
Verdict: Nailed the wide receivers for the most part. Jackson also had a very good week, but avoiding Holt and Stallworth (who didn’t even play) was the key. Not so good on the running backs…Bush was the lowest-scoring of the three. Optimal set was 50 points, my suggestion netted 39. Not too bad.
Advice: Pick a lineup out of these players.
Result: This lineup.
Verdict: Optimal lineup had a score of 137, my suggestions scored 119. Both scores are fairly dominant even if I did cost his friend 18 points. My mistake was underrating Drew Brees, something Chargers fans can sympathize with.
Advice: Start Brett Favre over Ben Roethlisberger.
Result: Favre three six touchdowns for the first time in his career along with 289 yards for a total of 35 points.
Verdict: Does it even matter what Big Ben got? (191 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 10 points) Nailed it.

Hi,
I dont know if this is the right place to go but wanted some trade advice.
I have been offered Steve Smith, Chris Johnson and Desean Jackson for my #1 RB Steven Jackson. My other RB’s are Maurice Jones-Drew, Steve Slaton and Earnest Graham, which aren’t a bad trio. Would like to have that top tier WR but afraid of giving up my legit #1 RB. What do you think?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This works. I also copied it in the question submission post, sorry about not putting it up yesterday. Here’s my advice:
I’d take the trade. Steven Jackson has had a down year and he’s on an abysmal team that’s going to fall behind a lot and have to go pass-happy to catch up and those are three very good players. Chris Johnson is on a great team, Steve Smith is a top-tier WR and Desean Jackson has been outperforming everyone’s expectations. In the long run you’d be getting more points than you’d be giving up.
