    I woke up to the news that Calvin Johnson and Rashad Jennings are both injured for the weekend - my lineup looks horrific...

    Jay Cutler
    Jacquizz Rodgers
    Alfred Morris
    Julian Edelman
    Mohammad Sanu
    Larry O'Donnell
    Justin Hunter
    Packers
    Gotskowski
    Good news for me, although judging by the way my team is performing the winner will be whichever one of us is the least worst....

    Had 2 players last night who combined scored less than Luck. finding the most frustrating thing is who to pick, had the choice of Reggie Wayne or Brian Quick and have made the wrong choice.

    I only have 3 WRs, one on a bye, two who didn't practice. Could be a bad week.

    That is indeed the FF dilemma. It's tough letting go of a player who is either underperforming or injured only to see him bounce back two weeks later and get a ton of points for someone else. The thing is, in our league with 16 players you will be hard-pressed to find a replacement for him...at least a replacement that has a somewhat familiar name.
    Well that's the decision made for me, Gerhart out injured. In desperation I thought I'd roll the dice on his unknown backup, Storm Johnson, but someone's already taken him!

    No chance this week, at least I'm high on the waiver wire!

    think that might be game to you, barring an incredible upswing in Tavon Austins performances to the tune of 15 points

    TRich has another good day, after I put him on waivers for 4 weeks of doing nothing. Unbelievable.

    Ah well, I'm 2-4, as suspected.

    Trail by 3 points and all my players are finished.
    It's hard to stitch my own back with these shaky hands
    But even harder to accept the scars you left were planned

    Judging by the way Crabtree is playing, it's not in the bag yet. -3 points is a possibility.

    I think you can rest easy...

    Gutted as I had Antonio Holmes (Oakland) and dropped him as he hadn't been doing much and he went and put up huge numbers at the weekend that might have made it a competition!

    That enviable task falls to the likely 1-5 No Romo's...

    I left some big points on the bench! Could have taken down the Revis Islanders.

    Oh Well, the Boston Bawbags will get it this week

    First Jamaal Charles then Ryan Mathews and now Stevan Ridley. I know other people have injuries, etc. but three starting RBs is a tough pill to swallow in a 16-man league. At least Charles is back and Mathews is on his way...week 8 maybe. Nobody on the waiver wire really worth picking up beyond them having a boom week.

    I know I am getting ahead of myself here a little but since we totally control our draft process, is anyone interested in the idea of adopting a keeper / dynasty element? I'm thinking that each team could carry over 1 or TBD players from one season to the next? A long time to think about that but I've heard about these sorts of leagues and it intrigues me.

    I've always liked the idea of a keeper/dynasty league but you would surely do it with 5 or 6 keepers. I wouldn't be keen to use this year's teams as a starting point though - we would need to do a complete redraft next year for fairness really as the values of players differ in that type of league. It does keep interest levels up for teams not doing well and it adds a bit more value to trades as players like Beckham, Manziel have the potential to be stars in the future.

    Usually you forfeit the round you drafted your keepers in the following year - using this year's players as examples - if I kept Forte then I wouldn't draft in the first round but if I decided to keep Julius Thomas I would keep my first round pick and miss out in the third round. So it rewards good drafting in the later rounds too.

    If there's not enough interest then possibly even 8/10 of us could have a second league with the dynasty or keeper element.

    It's certainly something to consider going forward but please no expansion above 16 teams whatever we do!

    Oh and Max. Good to see we picked different teams in the survivor pool for a change last week I was very very lucky with the Bengals!
