Eddie, you are incredibly lucky to get Edelman at 88. The others were solid bids with no overspending, but all it takes is one guy like me who will spend a little more to ensure I get the guy to ruin your plans. JACK in my on line 350 league Simms Walker went for 675 to Leroy's Aces and Knox went 559 to Hammerheads.These are two owners that havewon a lot of moneyand paid big to get their guys.
Forsett was another guy i was getting late and got him in 6 of my 13 leagues.

i see the other side of the coin...

R.Bush has never been healthy for long. even if he is, he isn't a rb that can get more than 10 carries. the saints are figuring this out. wih lance moore out or at least limited the next couple weeks, they may be using Bush even more as a wr.

something is off with P.Thomas. They played him as a blocker in KICKOFF coverage last week. why would you have your supposed best RB playing kickoff coverage after missing a month with a knee injury. something isn't right here. i read somewhere that Peyton doesn't like P.Thomas much and perhaps this means he's in the doghouse.

M.Bell will be out for a month. the saints lie abut injuries, just like every other team. remember when pierre hurt his knee in preseason. everyone was saying he should be good to go by week 1. well, after week 2 he has ZERO carries and lost first team reps to Hamilton. Don't look for a quick turnaround by Bell. He wants to get back on the field as soon as possible, becuase he sees his window of opportunity closing quickly.

that leaves hamilton as the last man standing. he can get the extra things done that i look for in a feature rb.
1. can catch (led saints in rec in preseason)
2. goaline back (6' 230lbs)

sure he's a powerball ticket, but he's a powerball ticket on the Saints. [/QUOTE]Dont think so. Over-anlyzing. If Thomas is healthy, he is the workhorse back this year

In a few weeks we'll see who really "won" these bids. The guys who bid the most money and got a stud. Or the guys who got edged out only to have that high-priced player get hurt or underperform, thus saving a lot of faab.

I got Knox last week for around $50 in my $650 Auction. This guy almost guarantees me another 3rd place finish! YEAH BABY!

I also got Joey Galloway in one of my NFFC leagues this week. Are you guys crazy to drop him? Welker banged up. Edelman banged up. Galloway is improving with each game. He's on his way to 15-20 point games. Don't sleep on him if he's laying there in your free agent pool!

I bid $500+ for Manningham this week and lost to a bid of around $800...CRAZY! Two words fellas...FRISMAN JACKSON. lol

Drafted Hamilton in one league, picked up last week for $1 in another, and got him for $23 and $31(tied and won) in two others. 4 out of 6 leagues for no risk, im pleased with that after seeing this weeks winning bids.

I feel fortunate that Bill and I got Manny last week for $66.

I've never heard anything in regards to Peyton not liking P Thomas. I actually thought the opposite after the job that Thomas did in the second half of last season. But if Thomas played on special teams last week, that is an ominous sign. I 100% agree that M Bell could be out up to one month. I still see Thomas as the feature back based on what I've been reading but if you're right on Hamilton, big props to you on your powerball ticket (as much as I hate to say that). As for this next Saints' game, sounds like it will be 3 rbs sharing carries.

For my online championship teams, my powerball tickets for RB are Forsett and M Moore. I've got one other rb (who is a free agent right now in most leagues) that I'd like to roster but having trouble finding someone to drop.

What a great week for FAAB in the NFFC.

Lots of differing opinions.

Like Doughboys said, in a couple of weeks, we'll know a lot more about Knox, Edelman, and Hamilton. Was Sims-Walker the "safest" play for the week? I heard most of his 6 catches and 106 yds came in the 4th quarter when the Jags had to throw.

Keep your fingers crossed Forsett owners. Hopefully he emerges as Seattle's all purpose back.
