This (and leaving people on the bench who go off) are why I had to stop with FF the past couple years. In some ways I really miss it (hence why I peruse this thread sometimes), but I'm fairly certain stuff like what you're talking about here has taken years off my life. Haha the only part I like is the draft, then I'm fantasy miserable the rest of the season

I'm benching Julio this week. What a bum. Sticking with Sanu though.

Anyone know how Denver does in Florida games?
I'm doing the same. The Browns are awful.

With Bell back I'm wondering what the consensus is on DeAngelo Williams' value? Is he worth a pickup if he survives the waiver wire? I can't see him being valuable enough to burn my #4 waiver priority but is he the top handcuff at RB now?

Sounds like the Steelers are going all in on Bell out of the gate.

I'd say he's certainly worth burning a #4 waiver. If Bell goes down you get an elite every-week back who often gets 25 touches a game. He probably shouldn't be on waivers.

It's a gamble, but with Leveon coming off an injury late last season and the way running backs have been dropping like flies, it's totally worth it.

My results in my fantasy league:

Week 1: 10th out of 10
Week 2: 1st out of 10
Week 3: 10th out of 10

It's like I'm bouncing on a trampoline.

Those QB options are pretty ugly. Flacco is probably the safest of the bunch, but Miami is so bad that Mariota might have a good game. Crowder from those receivers by a mile. The Eagles D is risky, but they've looked good so far. Texans @ Minny would be my second choice, even without JJ. I'm not sold that MIN can score with their offense on the field.

god I hate this season. Lost Watkins to IR today after already being hit by injuries (Martin, Stewart, Decker, Ertz, Vereen) and obviously my late sleeper pick Gordon didn't pan out either. My season is pretty much over already.

Torn today between Spencer Ware with Jamaal coming back, or playing it "safe" with Jerick MacKinnon. I'm leaning Ware and hoping Jamaal only gets a few touches.

Need to start two of Beasley, Crabtree, and John Brown. Think I'll go with the first two.

The Patriots need to stop giving it to Blount, and start throwing the ball.
