Perhaps scoring is inflated to compensate for it being a 16 team league?

Soon as the video of Ray Rice broke, piked up Forsett off the waiver wire. may be in busiesa

Also, for a fun laugh..while my opponent and I ended up in the 160-170 range...two other teams played each other and ended up 70-66. Final. Lol so I may not be the worst team ever this year.

Well, Stafford went off for 33, Jennings got me 19 and Tate got me 15. That is good enough to give me a lead of 182 to 127. My opponent still has Fitz to play in the late game tonight, but unless he is Superman, Batman, Spiderman, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Splinter all combined I think I have the win locked up.

Saderman Splinter Turtles?

I love that guy!


But yeah safe to say you're good. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my team.

Got 2 trade offers this morning:
Brian Hartline for Riley Cooper straight up


And

Brian Hartlin and Mark Ingram for Michael Crabtree and Isiah Crowell.



Not sure how I feel about either of those. Cooper in Philly's offense will be a stud later this year when playing against Washington's lackluster D and the abomination that is the Giants. Crabtree has potential, but playing 2 games against Seattle and Arizona (with the Legion of Boom in Seattle and Peterson in Zona) could be devastating as he is my usual flex. On the other hand, Ingram is a much better fantasy option than Crowell. But I have Forte and Forsett, so I'm pretty well covered for everything but my bye weeks (where I would have to plug in either Crowell, or LaGarrette Blount.)

Hard to say for sure as I think that Crabtree will likely have more explosive games than Hartline, and Ingram would really only be necessary for 2 weeks out of the season.

Forte's bye week is week 9, Ingram would face Carolina's D that week.Forsett's bye week would be week 11, Ingram would face Cincy's D that week..Given Carolina and Cincy both have very very good run defenses, kinda leaning towards rejecting it. Neither of those is likely to be big weeks for Ingram.

So after 2 weeks, this is where we stand. I'm on top in my division, and #1 overall (owing to points.)

Only the top 2 teams from each division go to the playoffs, so should be interesting. The North division is rather high scoring thus far compared to the others (the lowest scoring guy in our division would be #1 in any other division) and every one of our teams would have been undefeated if we were in different divisions...Oh well, if I can survive this division, would have me feeling good about the play offs..and therefore the $1000 first prize to the winner

In our 10 person league we have one 2-0 player, one 0-2 player and 8 1-1 players. LOL

Anticipating my first loss this weekend.




Best case scenario is that Wilson plays well but throws to other Seattle receivers aside from Harvin, and that the Bears run the ball and play keep away from the Jets. Just don't like my individual match ups this weekend, or the handcuffs that I've got at the moment.

Jets have a good run defense though, so I'm expecting Cutler will get a lot of opportunities to throw and Forte may get shut down again. Patterson wasn't very effective last week with AP gone (a trend I'm worried may continue for the year). Roddy White has a hamstring injury and hasn't practiced all week, on top of traditionally not playing well against TB.

Short of rolling the dice and benching Wilson and White to start Cousins and some undecided W/T (bumping Crabtree up to WR) I just don't think I've got much to work with here. Hopefully Cousins and Henne play well for the next couple weeks (have to start one of them next weekend due to Seattle's bye week) and then I can trade at least one of them away.

[sergechronos]

Still not entirely sure how I pulled that off..
