So in one of my leagues I am about to fall to 9-2. My first loss came against a team that was last at 0-5. Now my 2nd loss(unless Gronkowski scores another td) will be against the team that is in last place now and had lost 5 in a row.

Hopefully its head-to-head because I have a 2-0 record against you

Haha yep, big win yesterday, almost 150pts. My team sucked last week, Stafford made it look a lot better than it was.

I was actually inquiring about that regarding my other league, where I'm just on the outside looking in and its gonna be a scrap for that final playoff spot. The CP league has been my fantasy football haven this year on an otherwise stormy season on the high seas. My 3 best players on that team were Schaub, Andre Johnson and Darren McFadden. How I'm even still alive is beyond me, been a waiver warrior this year.

Jermichael Finley or Owen Daniels this week?

Sylvanfan · 11-22-2011, 12:08 PM

I'd want to see Leinhart play a game before committing to any Texan receivers.

Big matchup this week in the C league for first place. Myself vs fear boners both with 8-3 records and Cheerio too.

Sainters7 · 11-22-2011, 03:11 PM

Yep, fighting for that bye week. She's officially crunch time. At least we've all qualified for the dance.

Hockeyguy15 · 11-23-2011, 11:52 AM

Fred Jackson out...Brutal! I have Jackson and McFadden as my RB's...Good think I picked up Spiller and Bush earlier in the year, but it still sucks.

Sainters7 · 11-23-2011, 11:59 AM

Tough choice at RB in my non-CP league. Pick 1 of 3:

Ryan Mathews vs. Dnv
Chris Ogbonnaya @ Cin
Kevin Smith vs. GB

Right now I've got Mathews in there, as Ogbonnaya's up against a tough D on the road, and I think the Lions will abandon the run pretty quick against the Pack. But Mathews has been losing my confidence the past 3 weeks with sloppy ball security. Thanks.

...and if you think the 2nd best guy there is a better option than my flex QB Matt Hasselbeck, do tell. PPR league btw.

Fred Jackson on the IR...Broken fibula

If its today, Lose Ogbonnaya.

Looks like Hardesty will be taking over again this week most likely.

Cheerio · 11-23-2011, 07:21 PM

DeSean Jackson vs. New England or Laurent Robinson vs Miami?

SportsJunky · 11-23-2011, 07:24 PM

Well, I rode Freddy Jackson as far as he can take me this year. I just picked up Toby Gerhart to play this week and after that...I don't know...

Drake · 11-23-2011, 10:21 PM

Just my two cents on these one, but there has to be someone better to start this week Atlanta has a stout running D that is top 5 in some major categories.

With the way Jordy Nelson is playing right now I want him in my lineup so I have to sit one of these two, Hakeem Nicks vs. New Orleans, or Greg Jennings vs. Detroit. Then again I don't have to with the flex spot open but 2 or maybe 3 of my 4 losses have come sitting one of Jimmy Graham or Rob Gronkowski based on match-ups. That was a big no-no as they usually give me anywhere between 35-40 points. Who do you think I should sit this week? I'm leaning towards to Nicks since that Thursday afternoon game should be a high scoring affair.

Trojan97 · 11-23-2011, 10:57 PM

Starks/Grant (just picked up Grant incase) or Kevin Smith this week?

I also have Calvin Johnson starting so I'm a little nervous starting two players facing the Packers. Do I go with Starks/Grant and hope for a TD to offset their (probable) low yardage or do I start Smith and hope he rips off a couple big plays to offset his low number of carries?

Right now I'm leaning towards going with Starks if he plays but I know I'm going to feel like an idiot if Smith has another big week...

Hockeyguy15 · 11-25-2011, 07:27 AM

Hopefully you didn't play Smith.

Cheerio · 11-25-2011, 08:47 AM

Ray Rice and Torrey Smith didn't do much for me last night, thank God I at least have Laurent Robinson to balance it out a bit

Sainters7 · 11-27-2011, 10:40 AM

NFL Network fantasy preview just convinced me to play Andre Johnson over A.J. Green, little nervous about this one considering I'm officially eliminated with a loss. Wish I could go back to Thursday and bench Dez Bryant for Johnson instead, really hard to bench either Green or Antonio Brown. Pray for Mojo...

EDIT: Just flipped to the game, aw man I thought it was in Houston! I immediately regret my decision.

Sainters7 · 11-27-2011, 02:35 PM

Yep, just as I feared. Terrible decision. AJ Green=18pts, Andre Johnson=4pts. Why oh why did I ignore all the signs and blindly listen to NFL Network? They just hyped Andre so much I bought in, should've known better. Oh well, at least I'm getting slaughtered so it wouldn't have mattered much anyways.

Victor Cruz can go #$&@ himself!

Oh, and Saints, would it hurt to settle for a field goal once in awhile?
