It's almost like Sean Payton doesn't know or care that we play fantasy football.

Also, I rule at picking bye week TEs.

Seriously, if you guys need some advice just lmk.

I managed to slot in Kellen Winslow, who had...let's see, 5 total yards.

And Heath Miller, who just caught is first pass in the 4th quarter for 8 yards.

**** you FF. Last week my guys score 4 TDs, (McFadden) all of them produce in a losing effort being 3rd highest scorer and losing for the 2nd time as 3rd highest scorer. Yeah I was against Britt and White last week. This week just an average week would, do the job for me.

Manning now needs a great game by his standards for me to win.

In my other league (standard scoring) I have the highest points against per game, by over 10 points from the 2nd place guy.

The 3 players I was playing against in this game and they all scored. Booooo. Pretty much dead now with Wayne + Brown vs. Foster + 25 points. Possible with a Indy romp, but not likely.

Possible? lol. You need to hope Arian Foster dies on the first play of the game, then Wayne + Brown, who are hedging eachother since they are on the same team, both go off.

Possible... yeah but if I were you I would chalk it up as a loss then hope to be ridiculously excited tomorrow. FWIW, I own Wayne so I hope he goes off, too.

Brag: Won my $20 3-person Fantazzle league. Win $50 (Site takes a pretty heavy cut )

In two $5 10-person Fantazzle leagues, currently in first in both of them. Sweats are (predictions in bold):

League 1
My Foster + Owen Daniels + 2pts vs Peyton (Close loss)
My Owen Daniels + 22 pts vs Peyton (Lose)

League 2:
My Owen Daniels + 15 pts vs Peyton (Lose)
My Foster + Garcon + 25 pts vs Peyton + Wayne(Win)

Passing TDs are 6pts. I figure Peyon puts up 300yds + 3TDs for 30pts at least.

So I'm expecting to get 2nd ($10) in one league and 3rd ($5) in the other for a total profit of $35

My team:
Fitzpatrick, Stafford
Gore, Foster, Run DMC
Britt, Garcon, Lloyd
Zach Miller, Owen Daniels

Last time it looked this bleak for me this season, I had a 13 point lead vs. Brady & Moss a few weeks back, and they scored 12. So, I know anything could happen. I'll just have to hope Wayne makes up the 25 points by himself and Brown somehow outplays Foster. Very unlikely, but not giving up hope. The good news no matter what is that my closest competitors aren't gaining ground on my this week...2 game lead on division, still tied for overall 1st with loss.

Anything's possible. If I faded 13 points out of Brady/Moss I would probably be more optimistic too.

Some guy today cut Garrard (40 points) and started Rodgers (6 points). Bet he's upset.

just transfer all of Foster's points from your third league to your second.

well, I should have mentioned the second one is 0.25ppr, so he just needs to break the single game reception record and then he'll only need maybe 6 tds instead of 7

Brag: MEGATRONNNN!!!
Brag: Highest scoring team in league pending MNF
Beat: Starting Mike Wallace over Mike Sims-Walker. Drafted MSW for days like today.
Beat: No defense whatsoever.

Variance: I'm about to move to 5-3. A team that is 6-1 is playing against a friend of mine who is on vacation and forgot to set his lineup. If we had made it so he at least had active players instead of bye week guys, he would win, thus improving my standings overall. Dammit.

If he's on vacation he should have emailed the commish and told him who he is officially playing in that game. Then, at noon on Sunday commish posts a message to the league about which players he has starting, for transparency.

Then the commish can tally up the points and adjust the league score.

That sucks ass to just lose ground over something like that.

brag: tr0n

also another quasi beat

in a league where im 6-1 and in first. there is one team at 5-2 and a bunch with 3+ losses

non standard scoing, 6pt TDs, 50+ yd TDs are 8, passing yds 1pt/40, Rush/Rec 1pt/15, defense is -1 for every 3 pts scored, .5 sacks, 1 pt TOs, all FGs 3, play 2 RB and 2 WR/TE or 1 RB and 3 WR/TE. also no TE category you have to play a white guy non QB.


anyway the guy who is 5-2 (so obv he loses we have a 2 game cushion) has put up 26.5 and is done. the guy he is playing has put up 18 and has Owen Daniels.

for comparison megatron was worth 24pts.

thought i'd do a lot worse with bye week hell. 1-1 in main leagues, 3-0 in throwaway leagues. couple of minor MNF sweats, up 42 with the other guy having Wayne/Indy D/Vinatieri, and down 15 with Garcon vs Jacoby Jones/Indy D

brag: won
beat: britt and Torain's hamstrings
Variance: Had 4 Rbs going against bottom of the barrel run defenses, and they all sucked
brag: started Beanie and Torain, the two who sucked the least fantasy wise

Anyone want to put a % on my win chances for this week?

League 1: I'm up 8 in a PPR league with my Wayne vs his Manning. I figure 50-60% chance I win. I need Manning to toss some INT's.

League 2: I'm down 80 in a PPR league (and 6 pts per TD usual scoring) with Foster, Wayne, Daniels and Rackers. Basically I need something like 31 Foster, 27 Wayne, 14 Daniels, 8 Rackers.

I figure 10% chance of that.
