Worst case for you. Best case for me!
[/quote]

Yeah, I suppose.

As far as ER20's league: honestly, I'd almost given up on that team. I was, however, trying to pull off a cheeky trade or 2. Need to get it sorted.

My rookie fantasy season record must be salvaged!

[XxSizzleXx]

Wow now that I look at it you sure are unlucky, you have put up the most points against in both yahoo leagues.

Top 2 pts allowed in ATD league

Elmos - 546(add in the 184 this wk and that's 740 pts through 4 games), the next most allowed is Alexer with 461.

Top 2 pts allowed in ER league

Elmos - 386, the next most allowed is Cabana Boys with 352

That's just unlucky.

That's my horrible Auto-picked team.

Couldn't believe Chad Henne was on the waiver wire...

Neither could I. I'll go back and check who dropped him.

It was me... After 3 weeks I was convinced, that Cutler could be my starter all through the season, and I had Cassel and henne as back-ups... Didn't like either match-up for Cutler's by-week, but traded Cassel for Hasselbeck (@ OAK for Cutler's bye week) and felt I was set... no trade action for Henne, who I've been trying to move, so I dropped him and felt smart... Obviously Cutler gets dinged up this week, and next week is Hasselbeck's bye, so if Cutler misses time, I'm screwed... This is going to be a looooong fantasy season for me, as XxSizzlexX shows above

[Ed_Reed20]

Well, I was able to hold on and finally get off the schneid in ATD's league and am now 1-3. It's still ugly but I've got to start my climb back into contention somewhere.

EDIT: Just realized I'm going against supaB! and their missing owner so I should go 2-3.

[XxSizzleXx]

I'm so jealous of that North division.

Why?

[PuRock]

[quote name='Ed_Reed20' timestamp='1286304905' post='499338']
Why?
[/quote]

Because he would be 1st instead of 3rd in our division. Every team in our division has scored more points than any of the teams in the North.

Also the division has allowed 2nd most points, hell Rosemount is last in the division yet he is still 8th place in the league.

LETS GO BATTLE HAMSTERS!

[XxSizzleXx]

Nevermind that jebus, Moss, Brady, Polamalu and his D all have byes against Pu.

[Ed_Reed20]

Well, with Beast Mode finally out of the way, I can actually use Fred Jackson. None of them are great options but I actually have options at RB now with Stewart, Jackson, Felix Jones, Tolbet and Torain.

Good early pickup of Torain. I think you nabbed him in both leagues. I picked him up as well before last weeks games in my money league.

CJ is not an everydown back, so Fred has to get his chances. Upcoming games include the Jacksonville, Lions, Browns, KC and Bears. Looks good to me.

[PuRock]

Anybody putting waiver wires in for Kolb in ATD's league? Doubt he makes it to #12.

I still think he gets it going and Vick is out a few weeks. Cartilidge injury is actually worst than a broken bone because it's harder to heal.

Yeah, once Torain took over for Portis against the Rams, I had to pick him up.

I didn't know Fred was looking at such a good slate of games. My 1-3 team just got a lot more fun to manage.

Well he does have some tough game in there as well. Baltimore, Bengals, Steelers, Minnesota.

That's the only downside to winning games, you can't better your team easily. It's almost like you have to have ESP as to who will be the hot pickups after the upcoming games just to have a shot at players.

But I guess that's what separates the men from the boys.

I checked and those are definitely tough match-ups but at least he'll be getting touches and gives me options.

True.

Anybody looking to add Dallas Clark to their team, looking for a RB.

Actually, there's no guarantee he'd be first in the North. It'd greatly depend on which spot in the division he held (which influences which week he would have played me). If Sizzle and me (the North leader) were scheduled to play any of the first four weeks (when we played division opponents), he'd only have beat me if we faced each other week one or week four, other wise I'd still hold the division lead with the better record.

Got a question for you guys, in one of my Yahoo Leagues(this is the one where I'm stacked at RB) and well let's just say that people have been dumb enough to drop starters left & right. I have been thinking of adding players from the free agent list because well it's useful. Here's my team:

QB: Joe Flacco, Sam Bradford(picked him up as soon as he got good)
RB: Adrian Peterson, Pierre Thomas, D-Will, Marion Barber
WR: Calvin Johnson, Marques Colston, Hines Ward, Devery Henderson
TE: Marcedes Lewis, Brent Celek
DEF: Baltimore
K: Matt Bryant

Now here is just top names in Free Agency from each position who are available:

QB: Matthew Stafford, Vince Young, David Garrard, Matt Hasselback
WR: Michael Crabtree, Pierre Garcon, Robert Meachem, Vincent Jackson
TE: Kellen Winslow, John Carlson, Tony Moeaki, Kevin Boss
K: Garrett Hartley, Nate Kaeding, Josh Scobee, Robbie Gould, Jeff Reed, Dan Carpenter, Jay Feely, Adam Viniteri, Nick Folk, Billy Cundiff.

I'm tempted at trying to get Vincent Jackson, I definitly want to upgrade my TE but don't know who to get. I could definitley use a upgrade at Kicker considering who is available. What do you guys think? BTW, I'm 1-3 so to me right now seeing the notables available is like having a second chance to still make the playoffs.

Here are the moves that I would make
Drop Henderson for Crabtree - The new offensive coordinator is looking to get the ball in his hands. He will come through eventually.
Mercedes Lewis for John Carlson - He leads the Seahawks in catches, targets and yards (I believe). Still don't trust Lewis long term.

Yes Carlson does lead the Seahawks in catches and the Seahawks are on a Bye this week. I would want to pick up Crabtree but I can't trust Alex Smith. What about Kickers? Is there any Kickers I should get?

The best thing to do with kickers is plug-and-play them based on match-ups. This week, Kaeding, Scobee and our own Cundiff(to name a few) could have big days.

I agree with ER20. I will never comment on kickers.

I drop kickers during the week to pick up "project" players for my bench. Then near the end of the week, I make the roster move for the necessary evil.

Though in ATD's league. Kicking is a premium position. 3 points for 20-29, 4 points for 30-39, 5 points for 40-49. But even with that, you never know who will be the hot kicker any week.

But if I had to choose one guy, I want Matt Bryant. Making clutch kicks and Atlanta struggles to finish drives.

[PuRock]

I totally screwed myself this week in ATD's league. I've reached the maximum adds a week at 7 and I am without a Kicker and DL man.

With Cutler being out I had to make moves to pick up Collins and Max Hall, then I put in a waiver for Freeman. Used up my adds drops to fast this week. Dang.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Great, with Collie likely out (according to John Clayton), I'm poised to drop my second game in my league, Malcolm Floyd would have to take his spot.

[XxSizzleXx]

Big game this week, it would be huge if I could take out one of the undefeated teams without Mendenhall.
