My fantasy football team is 3-5 and 2 wins out of the playoffs. There is one other team that is competing that is 3-5 as well. Is my roster good enough going forward to make a playoff push, or should I look to sell my team for high draft picks for next year? It is a 10 team league.
QB Matt Ryan
QB Matt Stafford
RB Adrian Peterson
RB Chris Johnson
WR Josh Gordon
WR Antonio Brown
WR Jarrett Boykin
TE Jordan Cameron
Flex Zac Stacy
Flex Eric Decker
BN Jake Locker
BN Hakeem Nicks
BN Mike Wallace
BN Denarius Moore
BN Ben Tate

Answer
Personally, down two games already with someone else in the same position as you and half the year gone, I'd strongly urge you to sell with your current roster. My reasonings:
Your RB position is all name and no bite right now, which is a great thing to sell on. People keep claiming that he's a late season bloomer, and are still looking for him to break out. However, he's also an aging RB that hasn't had a career year in awhile, and the RB position has an ugly history of people breaking down fast.
Peterson is stuck with a terrible set of QBs that allow the defenses to key in on him completely, and its clearly keeping his output down. Now, unlike Johnson I think Peterson is still great, he's just not going to get a fair chance to show it. These two RBs are a HUGE hole for your roster that is hard to climb out of if they don't snap out of their low outputs, and while they have the potential to, I just don't see it. However, their trade value is still super high (especially Peterson's)
Good news, you have two huge studs in Gordon and Cameron who have shown the ability to put up huge numbers on a bad Cleveland offense with their own questionable QB status. Bad news, you have to rely on getting a ton of points from two receivers on the same team, a team that has an unproven and questionable QB position. They've been super surprising so far (says the happy browns fan) but for a fantasy position as fragile as yours, this is a hard bet to take. However, they also have HUGE trade value and should net you some nice picks.
Outside of those four players, you have Stafford and Stacy of note. Stafford is nice, but he isn't a savior either (like Manning might be). He might be able to net you something, but most people in the playoff positions probably aren't going to be looking for a QB. Stacy is good too, but again, he's a solid piece, not someone that's going to be able to take over and win a game for you. Unlike Stafford though, he might be able to bring in a decent haul in a trade.
So yeah, based on you already being behind and your necessity to rely on unreliable/unproven/unrealistic production from your biggest stars, I'd just fire sell :(

Which artists use alternative materials for their work?
Melody;Cag
I'm trying to do a piece of Art homework. What I mean by the title is a very alternative, nonconforming method so nothing like pens, pencils etc. Preferably a well known artist and I think we can use controversial images.
Answer
Dear âMelody;Cagneyâ¥â
If you are looking for really out-of-the-box, alternative materials how about painters who use Semen, Blood, Boggers, Vomit, Earwax, Urine, and Poop for their nonconforming, unusual, and controversial mediums?
Semen paintings:
Here is an article about the British artist Jordan McKenzie who mixes his semen with carbon powder to produce works of art:

Blood paintings:

Urine art:
Andres Serrano's well-known piece"

Earwax art:

Poop art:
(According to articles on the subject you may have to dilute the poop to the proper consistency, and coat it with resin after it dries.)
Anton Henning
German art lovers are turning up their noses at an abstract picture painted with the artist's own feces.
The painting, on display at Frankfurt's Museum of Modern Art, depicts brown, egg-like shapes surrounded by an off-white line. It doesn't smell because it is coated with resin.
The 35-year-old artist, Anton Henning, said he had eaten a large meal to give himself sufficient material for the painting.
Henning guarantees that he did not need to dilute his feces in order to complete his oeuvre.
"The colors are fantastic," countered another 50-year-old woman who viewed the painting. "I'd find a space for that in my home." http://www.goofball.com/news/Feces_Painting_Divides_Art_Lovers

Piero Manzoni
Artist Piero Manzoni transmuted **** into gold nearly forty years ago. In 1961 he canned his own feces in 30-gram tins and labeled them "Merda d'artista" (artist's ****). The Italian artist, whose life came to an end two years later at the age of 29, made an edition of ninety pieces.
As a critique of the art market, the cans were sold at the current price of gold. Ironically, Manzoni's art prank has risen in value over the years. At a Sotheby's auction in 1991, one of the cans sold for a m'mmm good $67,000. Apparently, like fine wine, **** ages well.
Keith Boadwee
Los Angeles artist Keith Boadwee is what we might call an "anal explosive" personality. While not strictly working with fecal matter, his stellar use of the anus as a painting tool qualifies him for this survey. Fueled by egg tempura paint enemas, Boadwee squatted over fifty canvases. His expulsions were shown in 1995 at Ace Contemporary Exhibitions in L.A., along with a video documenting the process. "I wanted to prove that I can make just as good a painting (as the abstract expressionists can) with my butthole," Boadwee told Buzz magazine.
Melody,
If youâd like to find and alternative, nonconforming medium to use on a class project I might suggest a new avenue open for creative exploration.... There are not yet any reports at all of art materials made of Toe Jam.
Good Luck on your homework assignment.
(I hope that your art teacher has a sense of humor)
Have Fun!
