Did your question not make this week's Mailbag? You can still get an answer! Submit it to and have your question seen by millions of fantasy fans just like you! PPR league should I get Charles or Calvin with my 1st over all pick? So lost in what to do! Chadd Meyers (@FreeBearHug s) Marcas Grant: If you're stuck between those two names, Charles is the way to go. He won't catch as many pa ses as , but he'll still get his share. Plus he'll see even more touches as a runner -- those yards still count, even in PPR! Now this might give you even more consternation, but I'll add another name to your mix -- . With the threatening to run even more plays this season than last, McCoy will be on the field plenty in 2014. Don't let the presence of worry you. The two of them will line up on the field at the same time so there's little concern about McCoy coming off the field. And Sproles is Garrett Temple Jersey more likely to take the targets left behind by than to steal anything away from Shady.M.G.: Slow your roll, homie. Foster will certainly look a little more like the back that fantasy owners have fallen in love with in over the past four seasons, but a return to a spot in the top three doesn't look to be in the cards. He mi sed half of last season with a back injury and it seems to be flaring up again so far this preseason. Add to it that Foster is also being bothered by a hamstring injury and there are plenty of reasons to be concerned. It will be interesting to see him get on the field considering how awful the looked in their preseason opener. Your comment that people are "sleeping on Foster" isn't exactly on point. We're aware of him. We're just taking a more measured view. If you decide to take the chance on Foster, you'd be well-served to grab as a handcuff for added insurance.M.G.:. There's no real net gain here. In fact, you're losing out. Both running backs in the deal are pegged to finish among the top five at their position. But while is a first round pick and likely to once again challenge to be the top receiver in , there are lots of questions surrounding how much is going to be affected with a in Houston. Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make and this is one you're better off leaving alone. Should I take the trade Jamal Charles & Dez Bryant for Tavon Austin & Lesean McCoy? De'Metre Forney (@DemetreForney7) M.G.: You should accept that trade before someone comes to their senses and realizes that they've just made a horrible mistake. In Charles, you're getting a top five (and potentially top three) fantasy back while Bryant could make a bid to be the top wideout in this season. And while you're giving up the presumptive No. 1 overall selection in McCoy, stumbled through a forgettable rookie season and is mired in a crowded receiving corps that doesn't have a true leader. This has nothing but upside from where you sit.M.G.: It's certainly po sible, but there are reasons to be a little wary of Beast Mode this season. Over the past three campaigns, Lynch has averaged 300 carries, 1,350 yards and 12 touchdowns. Those are strong numbers, but history has generally shown that running backs have a hard time sustaining that level of work and production for longer than three years. That could have been one of the underlying reasons for Lynch's holdout, however brief it was. The also realize that the time is fast approaching when there will be a new running back to carry the load. While this won't be the season that or see a large number of carries, they could start to get some auditions at Lynch's expense. Beast Mode will still be one of the first five running backs taken, but beware that a decline is coming eventually. M.Stafford, M.Forte, Z.Stacy, R.Cobb, ... Any po sible busts or overrated players to consider trading? Shiv Seethepalli (@SeethepalliShiv) M.G.: Speaking of the ... the name that concerns me most in that group is . Last season, he had 250 carries and caught another 26 pa ses as part of a breakout rookie campaign. But much of that work came as a result of circumstances. Injuries and poor performances by the three backs ahead of Stacy on the depth chart opened the door while an injury to changed St. Louis' offensive plan. This year with Bradford hopefully healthy and a revamped group of wideouts, the should throw the ball a little more often. It would be a big surprise to see Stacy have the same type of workload in 2014. when's a good time to get gronk? Too big of a risk for 2/3 round in 12 team leagues? P Faja (@FajaKnowsBest) M.G.: The chances of me ever drafting are pretty slim since Scottie Pippen Jersey I won't be thinking about the position until at least the fifth round. I certainly would be too worried about his health i sues to spend a second or third round pick on him -- especially after reports that he's to play in Week 1. Remember last season when Gronk was on the verge of returning ... for nine weeks? This seems eerily similar to that same situation. Even if he is back for the regular season opener, he's been held back throughout training camp and it's fair to wonder if the accumulation of injuries and surgeries are going to start to take their toll. It might be time to move up to the No. 2 tight end spot on your board.M.G.: You're better off saying no on this one. There are big expectations for , but he didn't look particularly great in his first preseason game and he's expected to compete with all season long for touches. Meanwhile, is going to be the unquestioned workhorse in Arizona with no real threats to steal any of his carries. Even with the chance to move up in the draft, it's not likely that you're going to find a running back that could collect 20-25 touches per game. Stay with what you've got. Why has Kenny Stills been forgotten altogether? (Vs. Brandin Cooks perhaps) Gigster (@dr_gigster) M.G.: I haven't forgotten about . I just don't put a lot of stock in wideouts whose primary job is to run windsprints. Stills ran a higher percentage of than any other receiver last season. While it makes him a home run threat, it's also a fairly low percentage route. If you could guarantee me that Stills would catch a 50-yard touchdown every week, I'd be his biggest cheerleader. Meanwhile, projects to line up in the slot where he'll catch more short pa ses and allow his speed and agility to rack up the YAC. It's that kind of consistency that I'll take over the potential big play threat every time. IDP keep 4 league, should I keep all off. or mix in some def? Peyton, DThomas, Lacy, Ball, Ellington, PPeterson, Quinn, Burfict? Kim Moore (@kimkimmy127) M.G.: The safe play is to go all offense -- , , and . There is a decline in the offing for simply because the video game numbers he posted last season just aren't sustainable. As for your defensive players, it's a pretty nice collection but generally speaking such a small percentage of them are selected in drafts that even if you don't get the same guys you had last season, you should be able to find suitable replacements. who? Me? Ok... BornOnFire (@BornOnFire) M.G.: Oh ... uh ... actually, I thought you were someone else. Um, yeah. Sorry about that. Wow, this is awkward.Marcas Grant is a fantasy editor for NFL.com and a man who is probably a little too proud of the superhero magnets on his refrigerator.
