Where do you find these. I see the pregame projections, but not season long, and win/loss.

It’s the box in the top right of the Standings widget. I believe the default says “Week Standings” but you can change it to “Pre-Draft Projections” and “Current Projections.”

But it’s pretty useless as, Pre-Draft, it had me at 0-14. My team might be entering a rebuilding phase, but an 0-14 projection is idiotic.

If this were one of those trading games, you would see

SENORBEEF IS INSULTED BY YOUR OFFER AND REFUSES TO TRADE WITH YOU.

Well, I think this boosts Richardson’s value for at least this year. Huh.

That makes a lot more sense. I’m going to say probably not, but I’ll take a look over your roster.

Btw, RNATB, good timing on dropping McGahee this morning.

Naw. He was worth more as a free agent than as the browns starter 😉 seriously, though, by the time he learns the offense it will be too late for him to make a fantasy impact.

$85 for McGahee. I know this almost a total waste, but I couldn’t help myself. Worst of all, I initially bid $61, which would be a good bid seeing as the next highest was $50, but then I psyched myself into going back and inching it up three times over the next two days.

I was pretty sure $50 wasn’t going to do it, but I couldn’t justify spending more than that on a guy I had cut in August because no one wanted him. I like McGahee, but I was just as worried about being the high bidder as I was about losing out on him.

I’d like to pick up a lower level WR3 type player in exchange for a lower level RB. I’d also be willing to swap a draft pick for a WR2 type player.

I know the last time I sent a WR your way didn’t turn out great for you, but I’ve got a ton of WR3 players on my bench. Have a look and tell me who interests you. I’d definitely be interested in obtaining Mark Ingram or BenJarvus Green-Ellis.

I have a bunch of RBs who are \*almost \*good enough to be fantasy starters and stand a good chance to break out soon as actually good enough to be fantasy starters. I’m interested in trading 2-3 of them for 1 current, actual starter. Not gonna go crazy, but I am willing to trade future and overall value for some immediate return.

In approximate descending order, options include:

- Joique Bell – gets [a lot](http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/24262/gamelog/?season=2013_2) of [touches](http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/24262/gamelog/?season=2012_2) no matter what (especially in the passing game), and now Reggie Bush is banged up.

- Ben Tate – he’s looked better than Arian Foster this year; at some point he’s gonna get the touches.

- Shane Vereen – currently injured, but had a great Week 1 and will be back apparently in 1-2 months.

- Daniel Thomas – getting 40% of the playing time in Miami. Maybe faint praise, but he hasn’t looked any worse than Lamar Miller, and statements out of Miami suggest it’s basically a time-share.

- Jonathan Stewart – injured, apparently on track to return around Week 7; 4 years younger than DeAngelo Williams (who may or may not be back next year), and Carolina is likely to have a good running game if/when he finally becomes the starter.

- Willis McGahee – he’s, you know, he’s Willis McGahee

- Roy Helu – What, and Alfred Morris is immune to injury?  
Some WRs (Mohamed Sanu, Emmanual Sanders, Michael Floyd; theoretically Justin Blackmon and DeAndre Hopkins) are also available to be thrown in.

\*\*Varlos gets:  
Mark Ingram, RB, New Orleans

dalej42 gets:  
Mohamed Sanu, WR, Cincinatti\*\*  
I don’t know whether this is a good buy-low opportunity on Ingram, or just a waste of Sanu on a guy whose team clearly doesn’t trust him to be a big part of the offense and hasn’t done anything in 2 years.

I still have a problem at RB, but \*one \*of these guys has to pan out eventually…

I like Sanu, I think he’ll get a shot to be involved with the offense when he eventually leaves the Bengals.
