jocstrap 8 Posted October 7, 2013 Great focking start. About half an hour before the game starts, I get the report that Calvin Johnson is expected to play, so I set my lineup as such. Then I get on the computer about 2 minutes before 1 and see that he's been scratched. Of course, by the time I got to the 3 leagues that I have Megatron, the games are locked, so I am starting with an automatic zero. I would've benched Stafford in another league if I would've known. Too late of notice to do anything though. Sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dehaven123 31 Posted October 7, 2013 My WRs suck. My GMing skills suck worse... Shoukdnt have bout into the last minute "start Broyles since Calvin is out hype"... i can relate. i cant believe i didnt position myself better @ TE in the draft or in waivers. just dumb. also, until this wk, ive sucessfully pulled out the worst possible lineup off my roster every wk. i cut thompkins after i waited patiently, he blew up afterwards. chad pickd him up right away, sniped my bad move. been a bad start for the defending champ. all that said, im 2-3, right in the thick of the wildcard race. super QB combo i think still, ryan/luck. i feel good about marshawn/reggie, awesome 1/2 punch @ RB. good 1/2 WRs in Dez, the best in the gm, and Wayne. servicable #3 wrs i think. my key is getting gronk back healthy, then im right in the race. a core of ryan/luck, reggie, marshawn, dez, wayne, and gronk is pretty good. if vereen steps right in when he comes back, watch out.

famousb 11 Posted October 8, 2013 Well at least J Rodgers decided to really stick it to me by scoring 2 TDs, while doing basically nothing else all night, to put it out of reach so I had no hope of coming back...

I have him in my $400 league and I'm thin at wr b/c I'm a rb hoarder! ryan takes a big hit i think obviously. gimpy roddy, no julio, its a lot for old man gonzalez to shoulder. somebody needs to step up. i dont think they'll get a whole lot out the running game rest of the way, regardless of whether sjax ges healthy or not. douglas is a born slot guy at best, no way he plays opposite of roddy. drew davis maybe?

WhiteWonder 2,477 Posted October 9, 2013 i'm 3-2 or 2-3 in 8 leagues. some i should have a better record, for example one league I am 2nd in total points and myself and the guy in first are far ahead of the next grouping yet he is 4-1 and I am 2-3 that's FF. This game takes skill but also involves a hooge amount of luck. while i should be much better in some, there is this league where I shouldn't even have a win to my name. fantasy bright spot thus far is my 4-1 start up dynasty team ... and ofcourse our FFT IBL team sitting in 3rd place just 5 games back. Individually, I am 22-13 and our board is 229-191 (each owner plays 7 matchups per week).... i believe LBH and possibly one more from this league plays in the IBL.

MTSkiBum 1,620 Posted October 12, 2013 I knew it was going to be a bad year when 3 weeks after the draft my 4th round pick shot a dude in the head, but it has gone worse than expected. This is by far my worst year ever for fantasy football or betting on pro football. Hopefully I can get a win or 2 this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
