I have the following:

QB Culpepper (bye) and Griese
Play 1
I know I need help here. This is my weakest position.

RB Dillion, Barber (bye), C. Williams, and C. Brown
Play 2
I have Barber on a bye this week and C. Williams is hurt for I don't know how long. Do you think C. Brown is an ok start with Dillion? I would like to pick up Pittman but then I would have Dillion, C. Williams, and Pittman all on a bye on week 7. The reason I picked up C. Brown was for week 7. Should I just stay put and start C. Brown this week and week 7 and hope C. Williams comes back quick? I think hamsprings are usually about four weeks right? With a bye in there perhaps he will only be out of my line up for three weeks and I could probably cover with what I have? If not, here is a list of the rest of my roster. Who do I drop for Pittman? Or should I try to trade to upgrade QB and get a RB with a different bye week? I am not good at trading. I've never done it. I usually just look at the waiver wire. What should I look for in trading? Give an example of what you think I could get with my line up.

WR D. Jackson, K. McCardell, T. Glenn, D. Driver
Play 2

TE Heap, C. Anderson (bye)
Play 1

Only have 1 kicker and 1 def.

Thanks a1elbow (how'd you get that name?). Your post was very helpful.

Just so you know though, I wasn't ready to give up on Culpepper. What I was thinking was maybe packaging Griese and Dillion for a good QB and an average RB. This would be because of the need for a QB and because of the week 7 bye week problem with Dillon and Williams out the same week.

Maybe I should I just play C. Brown on week 7 and forget about it?

Here is what is out there.

I don't think these guys will trade since their #2 QB stinks.
McNabb/ Orton Need RBs
Roethlisberger/ Losman RBs ok (mine are better)
Bulger/ Pennington?? RBs ok
P. Manning/ Carr Need RBs
Collins/ Brooks RBs good (better than mine)

Possibility for trade
Brady/ Bledsoe RBs W. Parker/ T.J. Duckett/ Portis (don't know if I want those RBs might have to offer less than Dillion)
Brees/ McNair/ R.Johnson/ P. Holmes/ F. Taylor (what do you think here?)
C. Palmer/ T. Green/ Dunn/ McAllister/ Crockett (I don't think he will part with Palmer and the only problem with Green is that then I end up with two good cold QBs)
E. Manning/ M. Vick/ B. Leftwich/ JJ. Arrington/ L. Suggs/ L. Johnson/ W. McGahee (how does Manning/ McGahee for Griese/ Dillon sound?)
Hasselbeck/ Plummer/ Westbrook/ Staley/ M. Moore (is Hasselbeck all that much better than what I have?)
B. Favre/ J. Delhomme/ G. Frerotte/ Tomlinson/ James/ Barlow His RBs are better than mine. Forget that.

For example-- if I did the E. Manning trade, I would have E. Manning, Culpepper, T. Barber, C. Brown, C. Williams, and W. McGahee. Does that improve my team for Griese/ Culpepper, Barber, Brown, Williams, and Dillion?
