how valuable is LT to the Chargers and Peyton to the Colts?

The Colts cannot win without Peyton.  He is the field general, and offensive coordinator.  He calls all the plays.  \n\nThe Chargers can win without LT.  Michael Turner is an excellent RB.  Given the chance he could put up some impressive numbers.  He's not LT, but the dropoff isn't as steep as losing a QB of Peyton's caliber.  The Chargers would lose a couple more games, but still be dangerous.

I agree. Peyton has done nothing special all year except set some records for QB/WR combos. L.T is the one who just set a record for most touchdowns in a 5 game span with 15 touchdowns. L.T. is clearly the MVP of this season.

Don't know. The Colts don't want him anymore :-)~

LJ is going to average 150 yards a game, LT seems to be floating around 100 a game. Merriman will be back for that game though, looking forward to a slug fest.\n\nLT will run for 140 and 3 TD's and the Chargers win.

great question..all i can say is that peyton's team is closer...so i'll give the edge to him..

The Broncos have a better chance, but I don't see it happening. I dont think Jake the Flake can take them all the way. Denver is a solid team, but they're too inconsistent.\n  San Diego will have a shot in a couple years once Rivers develops. That is, assuming they shore up their secondary and add at least one good receiver to take the presure off of Gates and LT.

Without Drew Brees, the Chargers will be a mediocre 8-8 or 9-7 team.  I dont think Philip Rivers will be able to carry that team even with Tomlinson and Gates.

Rivers has the talent to be a good qb he has alot of weapons including gates another pro bowler.  but lt will take alot of the stress off an unexpereinced qb.  there defense isnt half bad either so maybe they can keep leads and give him confidence.

Most years, I'd advocate a RB, no question, but this year, if I saw Peyton Manning sitting at #3, I'd snatch him up and high-five myself.\nLook at the dropoff in QB's this year compared to RB's.  You know there will be one or two other non-RB picks before your 2nd round pick rolls back around.  The RB's are very deep this season, by the time you pick in the 3rd round, you will be able to get two RB's that you will be satisfied with.   \nHowever, if you go with a RB, you will most certainly not get Manning on the turn, and there's just not that many sure-fire QB prospects this year.\nIn fact, I've seen some FFB sites (fanball.com being my favorite) advocate waiting to round 3 to pick a RB, because of the depth there, and picking up QB-WR, or even more unconventional, getting your WR in round 1!  This again, based on WR's having a big drop off this year.  This is not your classic "do the opposite" approach as much as it is reacting to "the market" this season.

Do not make this trade.  Dillon is a headache, he is up and down every week.  Rivers runs a conservative offense.  Galloway has a rookie QB and Michael Clayton could eventually take away his receptions.  On your side, you have Reggie Bush, who is a little down now, but his potential is like no other.  Grossman and Berrian could probably be traded for better talent than what you are being offered.

Peyton Manning is in the top 4 in every QB stat, has yet to fumble the ball (let alone losing a fumble), and is the top player on only the scond team in history to start consecutive seasons 8-0. Thanks to yesterday's game, the Colts are also the first team ever to win consecutive road games against teams with records of 5-1 or better. \n\nLT is running like a machine... again... but the Chargers are not re-writing history at the moment. (Now, if here were over 1000 yds at the half-way mark, instead of on pace for "only" 1600 yds, it might be a tighter race... but the Bolts face tougher run defenses for the next 8 weeks (Denver twice, Seattle, KC), so LT is not likely to keep his numbers going too much longer.

I wouldn't be at all surprised. Dallas brings a physical running game with Jones and Barber against a weak Colts' run defense. Indy's secondary is banged up as well. A lot depends on whether the Dallas "D" can contain Manning.

Peyton has the better stats so far.  In the long run, much will depend on the teams they are surrounded by.

You are stacked at RB, most people would love the thought of Rudi and Clinton at RB and Jackson at W/R slot. Adding LT or  LJ and another RB thats a FA at this point in the season would be a mistake(unless you are in a league of 4 people). So No and No unless you have have a really good 4th RB.\n\nManning for Grossman and Rudi is kind of tough. Manning is always good, but Rex is having a really good season this year as well.  My guess is that the person who is in the trade with you really needs a RB, and won't mind giving up Payton for Rex and Rudi. So No.\n\nJackson is in the top 5 in Fansty RBs. Holt is not even the top WR on his team this season. You will score more points each week with Jackson in the W/R slot than you would with Holt at WR. Again No.

Farve is hurt, but he'll be the best fantasy player.  Grossman is too inconsistent. I wouldn't use Rivers because LDT gets all of their touchdowns.

Start Antonio Gates.\nThis is a good question because Gates has struggled to find the endzone this year, mainly because of LT getting at least 3 TD's a game it seems. But regardless, you have to start Gates this week, The Chargers are facing Oakland, who has the Worst ranked Offense in the NFL, which will lead to San Diego getting the ball more offensively.
