btw, my starting TE was Pettigrew.

20 team PPR league, we start 3 wr's and 2 rb's - Sanu & Pead weren't starters

Im not sure this deal is as good as you think. You won't be starting Foster AND Tate, so that position won't help you as much each week as Charles by himself. Cook was a good grab. I would be anxious to hear which one of the Texans you start each week. One is the handcuff for the other, but neither is 10 points a week right now and Chales is the Chiefs whole offense, with "Captain Checkdown" as their QB.

It's possible that I do start Foster & Tate at times - with 20 teams there's 40 starting RB spots and only 32 in the NFL, with Tate probably being better than a small handful of those (possibly including my other RB Mendenhall). Emphasis in this league is on the WR anyways. I agree though I'll miss Charles a ton, I just don't think I'd win this league without a TE.

Oh wow, I didn't realize you were in a 20 team league. Never mind what I said then. 20 team leagues make RBs very, very thin, so yes, starting both might be an option. I would hate to be in a 20 team league. I would think by week 7 or 8, half the guys you are playing with will have given up even making roster changes because there would be too many injuries or underperforming teams.

Well its a $100 each league so guys tend to stick around - winner takes something like $1600. But yes the contenders lose the pack fairly quickly, the depth aspect makes it fun. Trades, waivers, and luck are all huge. We do waivers based on a bidding system so its fair. It's a bunch of buddies from about 4 different high school classes so we have a good time with it.
