Starts tonight! :P >:( :-* ;D 8)

Pumped!

Am I the only person that thinks we have way too many players (starters and bench). Maybe I'm in too many leagues, but this seems like a lot of shit to keep up with.

I feel like my bench isn't big enough! The W/T and added LBs are new though...they are big rosters, I like it though. Slim pickins for FAs, especially once our starters start getting hurt. I mean, not mine, but yours and everyone elses. ;D

(Probably just jinxed myself)

That's fantastic!

Aaarrgghhhh. Couldn't have been a much shittier first week. I remember now why I wasn't going to play fantasy football this year...

Well, it could've been shittier, though it isn't a good sign when your kicker is the lead scorer. You do still have two guys to go tonight, and (as a Raiders fan) I'd love it if McFadden got you about 40 points.

Unless you know something about Russell Wilson that I don't, why don't you pick up another quarterback? Dude, I'm pretty sure Tebow's still available!

exist10z · Sep 10, 2012, 06:17 PM

No, sadly I didn't know anything about Wilson you didn't know, I just got caught up in the hype. After I didn't get a top QB, I thought I would go with quantity over quality, and hopefully choose the correct option each week. In the case of Wilson, I thought I might catch a little lightening in a bottle, I was wrong. He'll be hitting the waiver wire this week.

The real issue, was DeAngelo Williams. Now, as a general rule, I wouldn't be expecting big things from Williams, he's part of a time share, and while a decent back, not spectacular. So on a regular week, starting him, I might expect or hope for 6-12 points. This week, against a suspect Bucs D, with J.Stewart riding the pine, my expectations were a bit higher. As with Wilson, I was wrong. Not only didn't he perform better, he inexplicably didn't perform AT ALL. Amazingly, J.Stewart, who didn't play, had more rushing yards than Williams.

Oh well, there's always next week.

Even when your team stinks it up and you deserve to lose, one point loses are still hard to take. You give yourself the old, 'we didn't deserve to win...', but it's of little solace.

Compounded of course by 0 points out of J.Allen, how about just a couple tackles buddy?, less than 0 rushing yards from D.Williams, and starting my lowest scoring QB out of three available.

Well, that's fantasy football for you...

Hawkeye · Sep 11, 2012, 11:09 AM

I did not stand a chance against the buzzsaw that is Scotty's team. That may be the most points scored I've yet seen since I've been playing in the MMJ league. His team is good.

I need a RB...anyone want to make an offer, feel free! I've got 5 pretty good receivers...would take a lot for me to trade Marshall or Harvin, but the other 3 I'm willing to deal for a decent RB. I would even possibly trade two of the 3 for a decent RB....possibly...

Pick yerself up there, friend! Today's the day for talking trash to next week's opponent, not dwelling on the past!

That did end up being a close one!

Oh, I wasn't aware of the protocol!

Since I am dropping half my team and picking up new players, the new and improved Rock Rollers will be rolling over the MoFos this week for sure.

Yeah, VERY strict protocol in this league. Shape up bro.

Hey, am I remembering correctly that you live in California?

From Maryland, currently living in SoCal, gonna head for the Wiltern in about 6 hours!

Not going to have too much time for Fantasy Football this week, going to be too busy seeing the greatest live band on earth playing over 7 hours of no-repeat music! I could lose 200-0 this week and it won't be able to bring me down.
