Same here. I was hoping he'd even transform into a pure WR1. Luckily Santana Moss has stepped up and really started to put up 1WR stats this year and DeSean is hitting it off w/ Vick.

Lucky.

I'm not holding out hope but maybe Evans can become useful with Fitzpatrick now throwing the ball. LOL! As for the league in which I'm the commish, my hope lies with Devin, James Jones and Cotchery.

[PuRock]

I should be happy about Dustin Keller's 98 yard performance. But in ATD's league where you get 5 extra points for 100 yards. And Dustin Keller had 98 yards at the half and 0 catches the second. I'm disappointed I didn't get that bonus.

1 catch for 2 yards in the second half was all I was asking for. It would've put me in the lead.

I went against my gut and started Hakeem Nicks over Mike Williams. I lost by 1. Williams had exactly 2 more points than Nicks.

Oh and the Chiefs not starting Jamaal Charles is frustrating the hell out of me

me too man, I got charles in 2 leagues and they keep feeding jones. I was pissed off when jones got the goal line td yesterday. I think charles is the main rb in fantasy this year that is not given enough snaps to be as big as we all thought he would be. I play in espn and I saw stats coming in something like this: jones carries for 3 yards, jamaal charles carries for 20 yards, jamaal catches for 21 yards, jones 8 yard td run. aaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhh

I have some fantasy frustration, where the hell has Jared Allen been?

I am also hoping D-mase can get more involved in the offense through the season.

[Clutch Ravens]

I'm frustrated that I had to trade Frank Gore for Michael Vick thanks to my drafting of Kevin Kolb and Jason Campbell.

I guess it's not all bad since I managed to get Cedric Benson thrown in.

Trading Frank Gore will be the end of your fantasy season.

He's going to explode in the next 6 games since they're all run-friendly teams.

Actually, having a 0 from my Quarterback week after week was going to be the end of my fantasy season.

Michael Vick + Cedric Benson = More points than Gore could have ever gotten me.

You mean you couldn't find any serviceable Qbs from the waiver?
Like:
Sam Bradford
Matt Cassel
The D.A.
Chad Henne
Shaun Hill
Alex Smith
Seneca Wallace

At least they produce points.

Those are all good. But if Clutch is talking about one of the Yahoo leagues. There are 0 guys on the waiver wire who see the field long-term.

Seneca and Batch are out there in both Yahoo leagues, they are the only ones that will see the field this week.

[RayRiceFan27]

Having Roy Williams on my bench for the first 3 weeks becasue he hasnt done squat so far, then all of a sudden he explodes and gets like 20 some points in one game, now thats fustrating.

It's in my Football team's Yahoo league. All of them with the exception of Wallace are taken.

I needed a long-term answer at Quarterback because I literally had NO other options. The QBs on my roster were Jason Campbell and Kevin Kolb.

The only option I had was trade Gore, a top 10 Runningback, for Mike Vick, a top 10 Quarterback, and Cedric Benson, a top 25 Runningback.

Considering my situation I didn't do THAT badly.

[ZIBBY28]

Frustration?.. J. Best's toe and a wasted 3rd round pick on S. Greene

[Alexir]

Where do I start?

Lost week 2 by half a point (.5 pts for reception) because FAVRE only got a point! I almost came back but Reggie Wayne dropped that one pass!

But realistically, the last 3 games, Favre, MJD and Ravens Defense have totally let me down........

Not sure Vick is a "long-term answer" but that sounds like a good deal in your favor. Benson is a good RB and should see more carries in the latter part of the season.

Vick looks awesome, now, but I still have my concerns.. I have a sub-par QB situation, as well. Drafted Favre and Flacco - not much production out of those two. Scooped up Vick when he was hot and he's been starting ever since. I'm wary of Vick, though, and I'm constantly scanning the league, looking for his replacement.

[Yatagarasu]

Favre cost me my first two weeks. Good thing I don't have to see him anymore cause I shipped his rear end for another poor performing QB, Joe Flacco.

I think Favre and Cutler switched places this year cause Cutler is throwing TDs and Favre is throwing INTs.

My Motto is never trust a defense. So glad I didn't waste an mid-round draft pick on San Fran, Ravens or Jets. My Motley Crew of defenses have played well. KC one week, Oakland the next, Arizona, Atlanta.

I am starting to get frustrated with MJD. He fell to me late in round 1 in one league (height of the knee questioning). He should go off against the Colts, if not, its time to panic on him. The Jags just aren't using him in their gameplan.

Once again, what the hell is Buffalo doing to Fred Jackson?

Fred Jackson can be an elite back (with low mileage). He's put up great averages behind bad offensive lines. Now he is being put through this vomit scene of a football team. Man I am pissed for the man and I only own him in one league.

If I were Freddie, I'd be pissed. Too bad a team like Green Bay can't get Fred Jackson. He'd be one of the best backs in football. Ugh!

I couldn't agree more man. I'm a big fan of Fred Jackson and the situation he's in right now is so wrong. I'm praying either he or Lynch gets traded so he can get back to being a solid flex play.

If Fred Jackson knew the team would be drafted a RB in the 1st round and that he'd (Jackson) have a great season in 2009, he wouldn't have signed that 4 year deal with Buffalo at the start of the 2009 season.

I feel bad for the guy because he's a great player that could've really been something. He'll turn 30 next year and will be 32 when his contract is up. Another career wasted in my eyes.

Very true. Spiller is a special talent but I was stunned when they drafted him considering their QB and o-line situation. Sadly, as raw a deals as Fred has got, Lee Evans has had it even worse.

[Jamal]

Someone needs to trade for Lynch already. My other RB's are Charles, Forsett, and Sproles.

Needless to say, I can use all the RB help I can get....

[XxSizzleXx]

Larry Fitzgerald, although I knew I would be disappointed if I had him in any leagues. Wish I didn't miss ATD's draft so I could of snagged Roddy White.

[PuRock]

I hate it when guys are questionable for the 4 pm games. Yes I'm talking about Andre Johnson. Very frustrating. Have no one on my roster that could fill his shoes at 4 if he can't go. I hate game time decisions. Seriously, just tell us Saturday who will be playing. The NFL should make this a rule.

[theblackdog]

For this week I benched the Ravens defense because they were playing Pittsburgh, and between the Chargers and the Colts, I decided to start the Colts because they were playing Jacksonville (Chargers were playing Arizona).

It turned out to be a very stupid move on my part.

Since the Colts decided to let a junior high school football team suit up for their defense, they let Jacksonville get 28 points on them and ultimately came away with a -1 for the game.

The Ravens pulled 5 points today against the Steelers.

The Chargers? 28 points.

Cue the sound of me swearing as I am on the border of winning or losing my matchup

[PuRock]

lol @ Santana Moss's 5 Rushing Yards (no other stats posted).

[Ed_Reed20]

Thinking his groin injury would prevent him from doing substantial, I benched Steven Jackson for Mike Hart.

[Yatagarasu]

The Injuries are coming for sure.

I'm losing players (Run-DMC, Jacoby Jones, PT Cruiser).

PT will be back next week. But we'll have to wait on Run-DMC. I hate Hammy injuries on RBs and WRs. They can linger.

I know. I dropped him in the ESPN league. On 10 team leagues with McFadden playing strong it didn't make sense to keep him.

Know Bush will get a chance to shine. Which I'm sure he'll prove worthy. Then when McFadden comes back we are back to square one, with the two splitting carries.
