Im sorry to whoever had to go up against me and Aaron Rodgers 62 points. I still have Blount playing tonight as well.

Lost in my other league for the 1st time all year though. The projections had me winning 68-40, I ended up losing 77-60.

Sainters7 · 10-03-2011, 07:54 PM

Looked like I was well on my way to a perfect 3-0 week, up by 21 and all my opponent has left is Pierre Garcon. Figured I had it in the bag. Yeah...not so much. We're already tied after that bomb.

And the answer to the trivia question of who has the longest pass play in Colts history? Why Curtis Painter of course.

2 catches 146 yards and 2 TD for Garçon now.

I had a 63 point lead....My opponent had the Ravens defense and Pierre Garçon left to play. That lead is all but gone. No more Garçon tonight!

Lil Pedro · 10-03-2011, 10:57 PM

Holmes and Green did nothing against the Ravens. This is a sign never to play a position player whose playing the Ravens that week. Good thing I started Fitzpatrick as opposed to Flacco (i guess)

Ya pretty much worst case scenario for me tonight, Garcon explodes out of nowhere to hand me the loss, AND the Bucs win. Ah well, at least I have chicken.

I should have a fantasy football shirt made up

"I survived week 4 playing against the team that has Aaron Rodgers and Matt Forte"

Thought I was toast after they put up over 80 points combined

So with Hightower looking like he's going to gradually lose carries, my RB situation is looking a little thin. I'm sitting with McFadden, Hightower, Best, Starks, and Ingram. However, I'm pretty stacked at WR with Wallace, White, Bryant, and Steve Smith (CAR). I got offered a trade of White/Best for Turner/Boldin or Turner/Nelson. Should I take it?

Spuds_Buckley · 10-04-2011, 03:15 PM

Thanks to the Bucs, I pulled off come from behind victories last night in both my fantasy leagues. Thank you Blount and Winslow!

Unless that O-line from the Steelers improves, Mendenhall is not going to put up any points. I knew I shouldn't have drafted a Steeler

Yeah rube, I'd think if you can turn Best into Turner and not suffer too badly by letting go of White than you should do it. Of the two packages, I like Turner/Nelson better just based on who is throwing to him.

Yeah I took Nelson and Turner. It just made too much sense not to. Now I'm really deep at every position, so if I suffer an injury or two I'm fine.

itcrossedtheline · 10-05-2011, 09:48 AM

I was offered mike thomas for BenJarvus. good or no?

I'm pretty weak on WR with andre being out

I've got Harvin, Rice, Washington, Santana Moss as my other WRs

With ridley coming in, i think i have to take the deal...

If you're hurting at WR then ya I'd say take it. Like you said, Ridley's going to cut into Ellis' #'s (though Pats RB's are like Saints WR's, impossible to rely on anyway), and while Mike Thomas isn't going to explode, any time you can get a team's #1 receiving target, especially in a PPR league, its never a bad move.

And rube good move on taking Nelson over Boldin, I've got Boldin on my team and he's driving me crazy, relegated to bench duty now.

That makes me ask two questions....

Who else did that person have to not be able to put up enough points to beat you?

And

Who the hell do you have that you put up enough points to take out those totals?

I swear I hear some of the teams that people have, and I wonder who the hell else is in your league that you have such stacked teams. Guys are listing off their third and fourth running back...those guys were all gone in the first 3 rounds of any league I was in with more than 10 teams. I wish my oppoents were that dumb.

It was in the A league. I was also without charles who i lost week 2

I started at QB Ryan, RBs Bradshaw/Starks, WRs White/Wallace/Smith TE Daniels

It was Prototypes team...he had Lloyd on the bench and put henderson in instead. His WR let him down. He had Boldin as well

Good to be lucky i guess

Josh Freeman @ San Francisco

Matt Hasselback @ Pittsburgh

Discuss.

Hasselback has been doing a decent job of distributing the ball around, it's a tough D to throw against in Pitts BUT Big Ben may be hampered, if he plays at all, by an injury and of course not having Harrison in the lineup could be big. The Titans D has also allowed the fewest yards and points hopefully meaning the Titans will have more possession and opportunity to do something.

For this reason I've got Washington playing, and if he would have made one huge catch last week the stats would have looked better.

Now that that has been said

Rivers vs Denver

or

Stafford vs Da Bears

Both d's have been pretty bad against the pass so far.

That wasn't the case in the C league. I have Rodgers and Forte and pull off a 209.50 to 136.00 victory.
