OK so i had my fun with Tebow and he helped me win my game this week but week 8 vs Detroit def is a whole other ballgame.I have Freeman on bye and no other QB. A few on waivers that i am thinking of or should i try Tebow again? i am in front in my division by 1 game at 5-2
Ponder at Carolina
Dalton at Sea (only reason is looks like a great matchup for him)
Beck at Buf (another decent matchup)
or
Tebow at Det

Dalton could work whether good matchup or not. He's a stud. Well, almost. His QB ratings by week:

102.4
107
40.8
64.4
85.3
111.5
84.3 average

You could do worse. He averages in my league pretty standard scoring 16.3 fantasy points a week. Not that bad. He's a work in progress but at least you would expect to get positive points for the position.

Who do you have to give up to get one? Tebow could work too since you already have him. At least you know he's gonna score you some pts. He'll run for 6 once. Better than Boller getting -2. Better off leaving the position unfilled with a guy like that in. That goes for Palmer too.

Then Ponder. Upcoming stud.

Then Beck. Buffalo's defense is a smidgen better than you think.

I just picked up D. Baldwin last week but didn't look good with Whitehurst so ican drop him. Still afraid to drop helu yet. been holding on to him since draft lol. I need a kicker this week as well but don't really wanna drop gould(just love this guy he saved me many a season):wtf:. I don't mind dropping baldwin if i grab a QB but then i guess i would have to switch out kickers which I can do i guess. i would rather play Dalton or Beck than Tebow but all these transactions are getting spendy. Guess i will see how week goes.

Ok this is what I've done so far. I couldn't resist seeing Antonio Brown on waivers anymore so i dropped D. Baldwin for him. I don't absolutely need him but my WR's are Wallace, M. Williams, and A.J. Green . just in case beanie doesn't get better i might need to play 3 wr a week. I dropped Gould and picked up Nugent. I am still on the fence with Tebow this week but Dalton and others will be on waivers all week. So the only others possible to drop if i decide to go Dalton are Freeman,Tebow, D.Karim. If Tebow doesnt have a decent game this week I would most likely not start him the rest of the season and start freeman:wtf:

I would keep Tebow before Dalton personally. They are both good. I just would. Is Freeman really having that good a season?

Average fantasy points per week in my league (6 pts/TD):

Freeman 15.6

Beck 15.6

Dalton 13.9

Tebow 13.3

You might be right, there.

i disagree with not starting Tebow if he has a bad week....Tebow is a fantasy QB in every way, and he will be for years...the Lions D is a really tough matchup...but after this week he's got Oak, KC, Jets, San Diego, Minny and Da Bears...i'd call him a viable starter in any of those games except MAYBE the Jets...for this week, Dalton is a great start...grab him if u can still...
