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.

Yep. McFadden was running well but with how fragile he's been in the past, I would have gotten Bush involved some too.

Andre Johnson screwed me so badly. The "insiders" kept saying he would play. After the Ravens game I go check on my team, and wouldn't you know it; hes inactive, and it was too late to sit him.....

Needless to say, I got killed.....

Same here. Now I'm sitting in tight battles when I could be up a little extra with my backup plans.

My plan was to swtich out as soon as the injury reports get out and if he was on it. Unfortunately the Ravens kept me on the edge of my seat and it totally slipped my mind.

If Clutch beats me with the NE K and me w/ BJE (and I'm on by two), I blame it on Andre Johnson.

Well at least you're still in it. My best RB was on a bye. It left me with Lynch, Forsett, and Sproles. Who all combined for a grand total of 6 points.

I needed all the help I could get.

That's rough man. At least there's a chance Beast Mode could get moved.

If I lose I blame it on Peterson being on a bye.

Yeah, thats the reason I claimed him off waivers. Now I just hope a team like the Packers, who clearly need RB help make a trade for him.

He could end up in Washington too if Portis's injury is serious like Shannahan thinks it will be.

Lynch Ticker: Green Bay, Philly, Redskins, Buffalo

Seems like my problems never end. Brady is in a by week, and my second QB is Cutler.....

Garrard was the only decent QB available, but you never know how he'll be playing week in and week out.

You say that like its a bad thing. Cutler was at practice yesterday and will be ready to go. Don't expect the Panthers to do the same thing. I expect Cutler to come back with a big game.

Really? I thought you have to miss a game if you a concussion.

Only if you can't pass the concussion tests and show no signs of the after effects. But he was back at practice yesterday preparing for Carolina. It sounds like he will be a go. We should find out probably by tomorrow. But I expect him to play.

[Jamal]

As long as he doesn't pull an Andre Johnson.

Ugh! Don't remind me. I still ended up winning in both yahoo leagues even with AJ in my lineup. Lucked out.

AJ isn't suppose to practice before Thursday. So he might be another gametime thing. I hate it. Injury reports for the weekend should come in by Saturday night for all games. Make the NFL more fantasy friendly.

[Clutch Ravens]

I still can't believe Carpenter had 2 kicks blocked and that Manningham had nothing.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[Jamal]

Wow. Lynch gets traded to Seattle??? What a terrible trade. Carrol doesn't like sticking to 1 RB, and what makes it worse is that I have Forsett on my team......

yeah fantasywise this trade only works for Jackson and Spiller owners.

having picked up deangelo williams in a trade over the weekend i'm hoping Lynch being off the table means the packers get after williams. i really want those rumours to be true!

I know it hurts your team really, this is a good trade for the Seahawks. Beast Mode is an above-average RB who can carry the rock 25 times a game and wears defenses down.

Well I can only hope they give him 25 carries a game. Forsett has a great average, but the guy doesn't get many carries. So that probably wont change for Lynch either....

Unless this trade means the Seahawks are trying to become a run first team. With me having both of the RB's, I really wouldn't mind split carries, as long as one of them is getting TD's.

I can see them running a bit more with how poor Hasselbeck has looked.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Ugh, I'm getting closer and closer to dropping Pierre Garcon every week. Loved the guy last year, but he's turning into a waste of a roster spot thus far this year. But part of me just can't part with him, with my luck he'll finally perform once he's off my ESPN teams.

[PuRock]

Got a good one.

I was excited because this week I have a tough matchup in ATD's league. I saw that Tom Brady and Randy Moss were on a bye, yes! Only to watch Randy Moss get traded and he won't be on a bye anymore. Ahhhhhhhh!

[Jamal]

Brady will be Brady, but how much will this Moss trade hurt him?

[Jamal]

Just as I thought. Cutler is out.....

And here I was telling you everything was going to be allright. He's screwing me over. Last week with the negative points. This week he's out while my backup Henne is on a bye.

Only guys I could get off the wire were Max Hall and Todd Collins. Geesh.

At least Garrard will get a chance to throw some TDs perhaps. Not a bad one week replacement. Collins and Max will probably combine for 6 INTs and 0 Tds.

How do you combine for 6 INT's and 0 INT's??? LOL

Meant TDs. But might as well just tack on some INTs because neither guy will probably come close to a TD.

Luckily I was able to snag Josh Freeman off the waiver some how. So no more worrying between Max and Todd for me.

[Yatagarasu]

My team lost to a team that didn't even put in a defense or a TE.

Also, Greg Jennings you suck!

I'm really feeling the effects of injuries (PT, McFadden)
