My team utterly failed me this week. Matt Stafford, Shady McCoy, Brandon Marshall and the Carolina D got me a combined -1 points.... yes that is NEGATIVE 1 from 4 players. Carolina D had -7, Stafford 3, Shady 2, and Marshall 1. You can't win when 1/3 of your team gets you less than 0 points.

Of course I sat Roethlisberger too. Figured they hadn't played well and were playing a stout D so I couldn't keep him in and he outscored both my starting QB's combined.

I am 1-2. Hard to swallow when I only lost 2 games all of last year and I though I had a better team this year than I did last. It's a long season, I can still come back.

We are actually playing a secondary game too. Every week you pick one QB, one RB, and one WR. We use their total offensive yards and total them. At the end of the year the bottom half of the game are responsible for buying the food and stuff for a Superbowl party. You can only pick a player one time all year so you have to pick carefully. The only "big dogs" I have picked are Shady, Brees, and Calvin Johnson (picked all then week 1) and I am in 2nd overall currently after 3 weeks.

That one is going to get interesting as the season winds down and people start running out of better players to pick. LOL

Lol ouch. Yeah, Cousins was worth 61 in my league last week...and I sat him.

My #1 overall team that was 3-0 has lost for the first time this season..To the 16th place team.
Cousins, Patterson, Gates and Crabtree all gave me less than their projections.
Forsette, White, Forte, Houston D all performed above projections, but my opponent this week had Asiata and Steve Smith, both whom just absolutely exploded (each scored over 30 points in my league.) Unless KC's D just completely implodes and Gronk doesn't play for NE on Monday night, I can't win.

I take minor solace in the fact that even with my absolute best possible line up I could've only picked up another 9 points, still not enough to make up the difference I lost bye.

If not for Cousins horrific Thursday night, I might've had a shot. Hopefully I can bounce back next week and if nothing else, both of the other undefeated teams are in danger of losing this week and I'd still be about 3rd place at 2-1 thanks to points.

I have no chance of winning my game. I did get 57 out of my 2 QB's, 19 out of Golden Tate and 22 out of Martellus Bennett. Shady, Rashad Jennings, DeSean Jackson, Brandon Marshall, Panthers D, and Nick Folk got me 14 total points. I have Pierre Thomas left to play but am down by 17 and my opponent still has Brees, Kelce, and Santos to play.

Shady is looking like a bust this year. Panthers D is imploding. I am in need of making some major changes.

Sorry to hear that man. Especially since I'm actual Panthers fan so I legit feel your pain with the being awful

Don't think anybody could've predicted that Shady would be awful this year. Such an odd year for RBs...Ray Rice and AP get benched/suspended/whatever the fuck for off the field stuff, Shady is off his game, so many other RBs dealing with injuries plus coaches using the backfield by committee approach.. Jennings is actually pretty studly this year, even if this week was off for him..Hell, Knile Davis has netted more yards this year than Shady AND Foster, would anybody have predicted that before the season started? Hellll naw.

I should've traded Cousins last week..Damn my greed.

And wouldn't you know it, I leave Pierre Thomas in play in the flex position over Terrence Williams and Williams already has 22 points while Thomas has 0. Not that it would have changed the result of the game, but points for would be a big help.

I can throw a football over that mountain over there.

No you can't. GOSH!

If Fasano can bring in 3.5+ points tonight, all three undefeated teams in my league (myself included) will have lost this weekend...To the #12, #15 and #16th teams in the league. Lulz

Amusingly, even with so much of my team underperforming this week (Netted 120 points) I still would've beaten more than half the league. This is such a shit show with so many teams..But then again, big fat ass pot for 1st and 2nd place. So gotta play to win.

Tumbling to my second straight loss, and second week in a row playing the team that ended up with the 2nd most points for the week.

Trying to trade Forsett for someone who doesn't have to share carries. Forsett has netted me a lot of points but is TD dependent.

Crabtree, Patterson and White all failed me miserably this week netting less than 10 points combined. I think White can still turn it around, if healthy, but I'm not very high on crabtree. I'm looking to trade him if possible. Gates is looking beastly at TE for me, and Daniels is a great flex as Flaccos security blanket near the end zone. Unfortunately until AP comes back, Patterson is a bust IMO. There's just no other threat for Minnesota to give Patterson. Space to work with.
I'm unlikely to get anything for Patterson, but Crabtree might be leveraged into a 15ppg receiver. Some slightly more steady production at wr would be huge as its been killing me lately.

Hopefully Cousins makes it rain over the next couple weeks and I can trade him for a better RB2 or WR
