I took a bit of a gamble and picked up Shane Vereen from the waivers this week, hopefully he'll return next week as predicted and provide me with an added option at RB. Considering 2 of my 3 gambles in the draft (Tavon Austin and Cordarelle Paterson) have been massive disappointments and were discarded, I hope this one pays off!Quote:

I'm struggling to pick a QB this week - Foles was awesome last week but was that simply because he faced Oakland? Cutler is back and fit but how fit precisely will he be against an in form Lions side...
Cutler for the minute but I've chopped and changed.
:greengrin its been that kind of season for me too :agree: seem to leave more points on my bench every weekQuote:

only the 2 interceptions so far :( the ****ing rams for **** sake
I'm getting humped and losing points at the minute....Quote:

Ridiculous night for my team. Brought in Jake Locker as QB for an easy match up vs Jaguars, fumble, interception, minus-1.24 points and then he goes off injured :hilarious
Thankfully, the rest of my team are having a big night and so far have a decent lead on the bawbags.
Im ****ed again, already far behind and only 3 players left for points.
You got one part of it, Decker was quiet. Thankfully Brees destroyed the cowboys!Quote:

i have a 66 point lead going into tonights game with the uphill gardeners who still have mike wallace and the dolphins kicker to play.i could be going 3-7 and back to back wins.playoffs here we come.lol.
Donald Brown - go **** yourself :agree:
2 days after I drop him he explodes into life.
I'm having terrible selection problems today in that all my players deserve to play. Sproles, Dobson and Randle all scored touchdowns in their previous game yet all are on the bench.
Gonna take a punt on Percy Harvin I think though, I can't help myself; but Ray Rice has had one too many chances. Sure he'll score a brace tonight now!
I've struggled to make selections today too actually - regretting picking T.Y Hilton the past 2 weeks but without a doubt, the week I drop him, he'll put up big numbers again.
I'm torn between 4 for my remaining WR/Flex option tonight - Riley Cooper (scoring for fun just now), Andre Ellington (against a brutal Jaguars defense), Anquan Boldin (against a pitiful Saints pass defense) or Doug Baldwin (probably impacted by the probable return of Harvin, though that might open up some coverage.
Back with a bang this week after dropping my last three! Only 4 players going so far but racked up almost 80 between them!
29.90 points from Megatron at half time is saving me so far this week!
I don't know whether to pick the Chiefs or 49ers D this week, Chiefs play the Broncos and 49ers play the Saints, so neither has a good match up.

My kicker is statistically the worst to play in the NFLfor 28 years :greengrin
Im keeping him though. Just because hes called Randy Bullock.
Trade deadline this weekend.
I'm doing bugger towards the playoffs and I'm not going to be able to do anything with my lineup for the next 3 weeks so here's open season on my lineup.
Woo me :greengrin
Don't believe I left a player with 16 points on the bench, and I lost by 10 :grr::grr: bloooody projections
I'm trailing by 16 with Anquan Boldin still to play for me and Vernon Davis still to play for NOLA.
It was more of a fight than I thought it was going to be but looks like another loss for me!
It was looking better for you at the end of the 1st quarter last night, the Broncos D had scored 23points! I couldn't believe what I was watching so called it a night, imagine my surprise when I saw the final score :)Quote:

:not worth
Am I right in thinking that I've secured my play off spot now as the three teams who can catch me (7-5 records currently) would all lose out on the head-to-head record tie-breaker? (I've beaten them all)
If so, I should probably think about resting some players...... :greengrin
Yeah congrats! Any three from five for the last slots it looks like! Really can't afford to drop one now especially with a huge match up with the Late Hits this week!!Quote:

Eric Decker, where did that come from? 2 times this season I've had players in my team score 40 points and both times they've been on my bench :grr:
Thankfully Josh Gordon nearly hit 40 points and was in my team!
Great win this week against the Storm, thanks mainly to the Phins defense and Manning's performance again. :thumbsup:
A good win for you, nicely done :agree:Quote:

:agree: A few weeks ago and tried to ditch them this week as the were only projected to get 3 points, but my waiver was declined, thankfully. :greengrinQuote:

I tried to figure out the tiebreakers but couldn't. If there are four tied for the last spot then I know I win some tiebreakers and lose others. I'll let nfl.com figure it out after tonight's game. Think I'm pissing into the wind hoping for a championship spot.
dont you just love weeks when your bench outscores your starters :rolleyes:
Welcome to every week with my team!Quote:

You have to be favourites. If you want one nonQB to get you 13 points youd always pick Calvin Johnson. Pretty pleased with my last minute pickup of the Vikings third string RB though, due to injuries to AP and his backup. He got me 24 points on his own!Quote:

Second highest points this week as Dan Bailey, Nick Foles, Julian Edelmen and Jason Witten all had good nights.
Nothing compared to the ridiculous outing by Jamaal Charles mind you (51.50 points), who would have run the Bawbags close on his own :greengrin - with Matt Stafford still to play, could we be looking at Revis Islanders racking up the most points in a game this season?
Neither did I :greengrin I just logged on to Nfl.com 45 mins before kickoff and it was breaking news 'Peterson and gerhart injured, third string RB to start', i dont have a decent runner after Marshawn so I thought I'd chance my luck.Quote:

Reggie Bush, who looked doubtful all week and who I couldn't afford to take a risk on including in the team scored a TD on the opening drive and if I'd played him instead of Vereen I'd have won.... :grr:
I take more pride in being top scorer in the league and winning the regular season than fluking a couple of wins in the playoffs anyway... :greengrin
Surprised but I'll take it and move on to the final :greengrin How the **** does my opponent have Jamaal Charles AND McCoy as their RBs :grr:Quote:

Hibsbollah managing the Late hits almost Baltimore Ravens-esque, late season surge into the playoffs before knocking off the no.1 seed and now into the championship game, who'd have thunk it :greengrin my moneys on Revis Islanders though, looking @ their RB stable - Charles,McCoy and Richardson :wink: best trade you ever made :aok:
That Richardson trade is the worst thing I've done this year!! Murray's had a great year and T-Rich has been a complete bust!! Charles and McCoy were steals in this year's draft at no 10 and 15 though. :aok:Quote:

Well done Ayrshire. ...last year semifinal, this year final, no one's stopping me NEXT year :greengrin
Cheers 'bollah!
Well there you go folks! Evidence that Jet fans are the most knowledgeable and well informed NFL fans out there! :agree:
Once again it was all about Shady McCoy and Jamaal Charles: combining for almost 50 points between them. Been lucky to have the two best players in fantasy this year!! Looking forward to defending my crown in 2014 :aok:
Well done :thumbsup:
Well done Ayrshire :not worth
Always knew Jets fans were the best in the league when it comes to fantasy :na na: Just remember, you don't get a ring for it :greengrin
Incidentally, where on Earth has DH been this year?!
well done mate, good win in the end, no way your drafting those 2 next year though :greengrinQuote:

When's the draft for next season then....... :greengrin
Cheers everyone! :aok:
Well done ayrshire! Bring on next season and another mental draft!
Good job everyone. Pity it's over. I did as bad in my other league. This week I had two players post 0 and they were both playing. Ouch.
Looking forward to next year.
Just to let everyone know I have re-activated the Fantasy League for next season. I will post something closer to the time regarding drafts etc. :cb
Good stuff. Much prefer nfl fantasy football to the crap we have here!Quote:
