So I took the advice of the waiver pickups column last week and put in claims on both Jackie Battle and Earnest Graham...and ended up with both of them. Now I've got Willis McGahee coming off the bye week and I'm wondering which to start at my RB2 spot. I figure its McGahee, but Graham had a nice week and I'm not sure what to expect from Battle, so any thoughts would be great.

-Battle v. OAK

-Graham v. CHI

-McGahee v. MIA

So I've had a trade proposed to me in a roto league, with me trading Jason Spezza and Scott Hartnell. Jarome Iginla, Travis Zajac and Marc Andre Fleury are being offered in return.

The deal is obviously pretty interesting to me, despite the fact that it would create a log jam at RW, and leave me relatively thin at Center and LW (82 * 2 Max Games for all those positions).

The rest of my team is as follows:

C - Spezza, Kesler, Dubinski

LW - Hartnell, Burrows, Clowe

RW - Perry, Kessel

D - Karlsson, Bogosian, Kaberle, Hedman, Jack Johnson

G - Luongo, Lundqvist, Budaj

Point Categories are G, A, +/-, PIM, PP Points, SOG, W, GAA, SV%, SHO

There's alot of talent going both ways, but my main concern is whether Iginla can and will produce for me. I'm not particularly needy at any of the positions being offered, so Iggy is the make or break guy. Spezz is always a point/game guy but the back and groin issues always seem to surface.

To me it looks like a toss-up, so any perspective and thoughts people have would be much appreciated. I'm currently 8th in a 12 team league, but I'm not sure if this is a prudent move at this point in the season.

Thanks guys!

Hey Guys,

For anyone that didn't get a spot in the first fantasy league and is still interested, I've set one up over at Yahoo Fantasy Sports. There's currently 12 spots; to have a competitive league I'd want at least 10 teams and I can certainly add more if there's demand for it. We can figure out draft details as we go.

I know there's some doubt out there about the Sergei Gonchar signing, and also disappointment over losing out on perennial favourite Anton Volchenkov as well as the allegedly Volchenokovian Zbynek Michalek.

To me though, this is a smart move on Bryan Murray's part.

Vernon Davis and Owen Daniels, which one do you guys think is the better fantasy start right now? The 49rs are at the Colts and the Texans are at the Bills, so both are going up against good pass defences. Who do I pick?

Also my WR are abismal, is it time to give up on Terrell Owens and Braylon Edwards? Every week these guys seem to be limited to a few short yardage catches, with extremely limited big play potential. Advice?
