Percy Harvin lit me up for 15 points. I'm off to a bad start this week.

Well consider yourself lucky for not having to play against him in a ppr league. Now I am down 21.90 points. Luckily he didn't hit the 100 mark.

In the BR Espn League. I started the Vikings D & Kyle Rudolph. The made me go backwards! (Thanks to the negative defensive scoring)

Score this morning -4 to 0

It just gets worse for me in this league. I had Rudolph as my Flex and Aaron Hernandez as my TE. Hernandez didn't even travel with the team to London (announced today ofcourse). So now I have to pick up a third TE just for this week. The only guy I could get was Anthony Fasano. At least he has a good matchup.

In one league i have Doug and am playing against AP, and in another league i have AP and am playing against Doug. My brain is going to explode

[Gordo52]

Just lostby 2 points.... My kicker had 1!

His had 13. I hate kickers so freaking much. I have the WORST luck with them. [profanity deleted] [profanity deleted] [profanity deleted]

[Gordo52]

Oh. And it was "Legatron"

Earlier in that game the holder screwed up and he couldn't kick it. I'm not saying he would of made it, but if he did I would of won. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[rmw10]

Demaryius Thomas killed me tonight. Hoping to get 2 points out of the Cards' D to get me the win!

St Louis has really struggled to score lately. They could only muster 1 TD against the atrocious NE D! I'm swapping Zuerlin with Matt Bryant.

They should score 2 pt easily! They're the 3rd ranked D on nfl.com. MIA and TB are up and coming Ds, btw. In case you're looking.

League 1: I'm up by 7.70 points, I've got Arizona's defense tonight, he's got San Francisco

League 2: I'm down by 12.04 points, he's done and I have Arizona's defense tonight

League 3: I'm up by 22.68 points, I'm done and he's got San Francisco tonight

League 4: I'm up by 12 points, I'm done and he's got David Akers tonight


I should win league 3, but the other ones could all go either way and will probably be close

[Dubs]

I will join in on some of the Pre - fantasy finish vent. In my main league I am up 58 points and he has Frank Gore, Larry Fitz, Vernon Davis, Patrick Willis and SF DST...I still have Navarro Bowman but I am slightly worried, I am hoping for a high scoring Kicker duel or the more likely low scoring affair with some DST points

[gabefergy]

I lost in one league by two points because I started Vikings D and got -5 and my opponent had Giants D for 19 points. If Dez Bryant can land inbounds I win the match-up.

I went up against the "Autodraft Avenger" as he's called himself, since he couldn't be there for the draft and is kicking [profanity deleted] with his autodraft picks. I got hammered, 108-74 thanks to people like Victor Cruz and Antonio Gates utterly wetting the bed.

[Medications]

whats up with yahoo not logging any receiver stats tonight? Gates, Bowe everyone all read 0 points despite gates having a bunch of yards and a td and bowe having some yards

I always autodraft and always get the best players!

[theblackdog]

I hope that Heath Miller and James Jones turn it on this week so I don't regret benching Antonio Gates (forgot to take a last minute look)

I may try it next year and see what happens. I know I set a pretty good ranking list before I started and by the time it reached me in round 2, most of my picks were gone.

Screw Autodraft!

You target players that fit your system regardless of positions.

I picked up Drew Brees at round 1 and still picked up Peyton Manning at round 7.

[rmw10]

Benched Doug Martin again. To be fair, I had favorable match ups in LeSean McCoy, Brandon Marshall, AJ Green, and Reggie Wayne. But seriously, why does this happen to me?!

[flaccopoe]

I've scored 182.44 PT SO FAR!!! In this particular league, I have Newton, Forte, D Martin, B Marshall, V Jackson, J Jones, SD, Hanson and my TE, Gonzallez, hasn't even played yet! All of these players have scored at least 12.1 pt, except for Hanson, being that he's a kicker.

[Medications]

I'm playing the first place guy who is 7-1 this week, and of course he has Doug Martin. I'm down by 38.10 and I only have Brees left. If Martin got only 30 points instead of 51.20 then I'd only need 17 points from Brees and i'd likely win, but now I need Brees to throw for like 5 touchdowns tomorrow. LeShoure helped me out by going off for 25 but Martin screwed it all up.

This will be my 5th loss in this league, and it'll be the 4th time that I've had more points than every single other person in the league that week except for the one guy I happen to be playing. Can't get a break sometimes

Mike Vick is useless and I'm probably gonna drop him. If you can't put up points against the Saints, than there's no hope.

Yep I am done with Vick as well. Prior to this year I never bought into him. But I picked him up in the sixth round in my money league and I thought he was a steal. He isn't. If he had a better line, he'd be a better fantasy QB.

But since that O-Line or Vick couldn't really torch the Saints. The hope is gone.

I'm still gonna roll with Vick cause of Andy Reid's system. Even when he has a bad stat line he manages to put together a decent fantasy day

He manages to be average, yes. His turnovers negate his rushing yards. He's right there in the group with Fitzpatrick, Dalton, Eli, Schaub in terms of year to date production. It all depends on who you have on your bench.

But it also depends on the matchups. Vick has nice matchups of WAS & CAR coming up. If he makes it until then, he'll be in my starting lineup. But expectations are average. D-Jax's 77 yard TD saved his night against one of the worst Ds. But his offensive line took even more hits last night, so things are only going to get worse. Plus the hits on Vick are compounding.

Agreed. I have frean on my bench and am doing a qbbc but Vick is main option still. A decent day with a poor stat line means that if he has a decent stat line he will put up very good fantasy numbers. Vick has been a good fantasy qb this year. He wasn't elite like in 2010 but he is still a very good option

In my one league I also have Freeman backing up Vick. I have been going with Vick almost exclusively but now it will be a time share for sure. I'm going with Freeman over Vick this week, which one you going with?
