For those of you who are regulars, you might notice something new on the right side of the blog - a live chat feature. It's powered by meebo and works so that anyone, anywhere can anonymously type in a question about fantasy football and get an answer from me about where to find that information.
So how does it work exactly? Say you want to know which start/sit sites I recommend the most or are looking for information on which IDPs to start this week - no problem. Type your question into the chat screen and if I'm online, I'll answer right away. If I'm offline though, I suggest sending your question to me using the Contact Me link below. If you do send me a chat while I'm offline, I'll still get your question but just won't be able to respond if you're no longer online. The technology still has a little ways to go, but I thought this was an excellent start to trying to provide fantasy football fans with yet another way to get their fantasy resources.
I will have definite hours set every week and will post them above the chat screen; but I'm likely to be around at other times, too, so definitely keep your eyes open...and chat away!

Its Jr again Thanks for the win last week!! Who do I start this week at WR? L. Coles, T. Gonzalas, B. Berrian, C. Henry, I. Bruce. I need three....
This is my first fantasy year and I'm pretty satisfied with my moves so far:
10 team public league on ESPN
Team: Las Vegas Tumbleweeds
QB: Brett Favre (NYJ), Ben Roethlisberger (PIT), David Garrard (JAC)
RB: LaDainian Tomlinson (SD), Ahmad Bradshaw (NYG), Felix Jones (DAL)*
RB/WR: Santana Moss (WAS)
WR: Greg Jennings (GB), Hines Ward (PIT), Patrick Crayton (DAL), Amani Toomer (NYG), Antwaan Randle El (WAS)
TE: Jeremy Shockey (NO), Antonio Gates (SD)*
D/ST: Green Bay Packers
K: David Akers (PHI)
*= Traded away Antonio Gates and Felix Jones for TJ Houshmandzadeh and Fred Taylor (big mistake, I know)
So, to fix my bone-headed move of getting rid of Antonio Gates, I'm aiming to get Tony Gonzalez (the guy who drafted him has him on the trading block.) Who do you think I should offer him for Gonzalez, or should I save my trades for someone else?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I saw your message about this on my chat this morning (I get the message even if I'm not online when you leave it) - I'll be honest, I don't think I would make any trades for Tony Gonzalez. I think you could do just as well hanging onto Shockey and maybe filling in with a tier 2 TE if Shockey doesn't end up doing as well as I suspect he will. NO is a good place for Shockey and I'm not convinced that Gonzalez is going to be a huge upgrade.
You did a great job with the draft - the one area that has me most concerned would be RB. If you could offer up say Garrard and Toomer or Garrard and Ward for an RB like Thomas Jones or another in his range, that would be ideal. LT is of course awesome but having another consistent RB in there would be nice; maybe even a Kenny Watson (I don't think Rudi Johnson will last long at all) or Chris Johnson - and those are guys that you could probably get at a lower price.
Hope that helps!

Happy to help any time!
Thanks
As for RBs to start this week, I'd go with Chris Johnson, Michael Turner and Steven Jackson.
Good luck!
I need a victory bad this week. I need a lot of help in the WR position. I have Greg Camarillo, Ocho Cinco, Bernard Berrian, Ted Ginn Jr., Devery Henderson, Patrick Crayton, or I can pick up Steve Breaston off the wire. I can start 3. Also, Mcfadden, SJAX, or Le'ron Mcclain I can start 2. Thanks, I appreciate any advice.
For WR I'd grab Breaston and play him as well as Berrian and Camarillo.
For RB, I'd go with SJax and McClain.
Good luck!
Okay, I'd go with SJax and Moore; for WR I think I'd go with Chad Johnson, Donnie Avery and Nate Washington.
Good luck!
