Brees didn't do much for me, but luckily Peyton wasn't his usual 25+ point self either. I got Trent Richardson tomorrow and he's got Reggie Wayne. Depending on what my kicker Bailey does tonight, I'm probably up by 8-10 points heading to tomorrow. Should be a fun one to watch.

What time do you think they play?

I'll need 10 pts out of Wayne tomorrow to win. It will be a tight one.

Feels nice to sit back and not need one single point to win going into Monday's game.

 

As long as Rivers doesn't throw for 0 yards and 3 INTs.

I'm down 14.8 with Gates going tonight. With the way this season has been going he'll get 12-14 and I'll fall to 2-4 with the 2nd most points in the league

Thank god for the Chiefs' D 27 points. Up 23 with my opponent having Nick Novak. Single digit games from Cobb, Bryant, Martin, Romo and Cameron were not good. Luckily playing an opponent who had AP stink and various others.

Gotta love playing two guys who throw up a goose egg in one league (Shorts, Graham) and two guys who get hurt and have to leave the game early in the other (Cobb, Schaub).

 

This was probably the worst luck I've ever had in any one week of fantasy football in a long, long time.

Man, I thought starting Tom Brady sucked.

2-QB league. And he was actually playing well before getting hurt.

Two weeks ago I was up 40 going into the Monday night game. He had Sproles and Colston. I lost.

Last week, I went up against Tony Romo, who threw for 500 yards and 5 TDs. I lost.

This week, I went up against Jamaal Charles, Brandon Marshall, and Vernon Davis. I lost.

 

This season blows

Ha, no, fraternity league. Sucks to be knight too.

 

I also had David Wilson in week 1 and lost by 2 points.

The funny part is that he got like -2.1 points that game.

I have the second highest points total this week. Jake has the highest and is my opponent. :-/

It was -3

Rowand, remember how we were talking about how you picked up Julio Jones since a guy dropped him without thinking it through? 2 days later that happened in my league, and I was able to pick him up. I don't think anyone else went for him either. He was a 2nd round pick, so the guy doesn't want to keep him for a 1st...but as a FA, he's now using a spot 3 rounds below next year's ADP. So likely a 5th or 6th rounder. No idea why he wouldn't just throw him on IR, but hey, thanks.

I'm glad I created an IR spot this year in my league. I just threw him on IR. Not sure if this league will be a keeper league, but it doesn't hurt.

Ha, very nice.

The death of the RB is really killing fantasy for me this year. I said the same thing last year, but this year is worse.

Yeah, I have MJD in one of my leagues and Chris Johnson in another (both are RB2). The commentary on these two players is that they suck, are hardly playable anymore. They are a f***-ton better than any of the FA options out there as well as some of the guys I had picked up as potential backups throughout the season (Michael Bush, Shonn Greene, Ben Tate, Shane Vereen). Trading for Giovani Bernard has given me some depth in one league, but he has hardly outproduced them.

 

I think it is just a shallow position. Might have to re-evaluate what a RB2 looks like.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are leagues with QB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, RB/TE next season.

I'm starting to think this should be the new standard.

 

In one league I had drafted AP, Frank Gore, and Ryan mathews. 3 starting RBs, in a 12 team league that should be a luxury. This came at the cost of real WRs. 5 years ago this would have been a huge advantage. But frankly the norm now is 15 carries for 44 yards with TDs for RBs being way more luck than ever before. Even the Goalline back doesn't exist, it just seems completely random.

 

Obviously I didn't think Ryan Mathews would light the world on fire. But the adage that players with more touches should have more chances to do something isn't really true for RBs anymore. Getting 10 points from them is a luxury. Getting 30 yards from Ray Rice is far too normal now. I basically plan to get 3 points from him. But what else can I do? There's nothing else.

My money league is 2 wr, 2rb, 1 te with 2 wr/te/rb flex positions.

 

RB is obviously insanely thin this year but I highly doubt it ever becomes standard to go to 1 rb only spot.

So if you're in a yahoo league and have Sproles you'll have 2 more points and if you have Pierre Thomas, 2 less points when the stat corrections are added in tomorrow.

You are right but I'm just annoyed that I have to start these crap players.
