3 wins in a row for the Zebras and now stand at 4-4 but I dropped a spot in the rankings this week to 9th. Hoping to make it 4 in a row against the Green Bay Slackers (are the Slackers active by the way, they have been awarded the Hunger fool thing 2 weeks in a row).

To be fair I don't think there was much he could do this week. He had 2 QBs on the bench, who scored hugely, a TE and a K.

He had one WR on the bench. Even if he put him in and changed around his starting team I don't think he was going to win.

Very strange to have 3 QBs and only one spare WR.

Good old Jay Cutler, throwing me TD passes even when the game is well out of reach for the opposition.

I think all that's left for Bray Broncos is to evaluate the players we have for next year and play spoiler to some playoff hopefuls. Terrible luck with my RBs this year, all 3 I drafted were/are injured, and I picked up Mike Goodson last week and he procedes to go down injured after Darren McFadden does. Who's next for the curse?

Poor old Golf Bravos, his 3 RBs scored 98 points between them and he still lost, thanks to playing a WR on a bye and having a K and DEF on bye too! Nice stable of RBs though!!

I have the opposite problem, Matt Ryan going huge in the first half and coasting/running the rest of the way - happened 4 times this year I think.

Got a sweat on Monday Night Football. My Carolina Pandas need 9 points from Jeremy Maclin for the win. Wouldn't normally be that confident as he only has over 9 points twice this season, but against the Saints defense there's a decent chance.

poldebruin

Yeah, I have to hope Marques Colsten and Brent Celek combine for more than 21, while Lance more does nothing. Long shot, but still a horse in the race.

Molly

Ogletree on the bench because I was out thursday night and forgot to check on meachems status. Ending up losing by 10

Benimar

The Ulster division is set up for a great finish. Three 6-3 teams and one 5-4. If I win next week, I'll be sitting in the No 2 seed spot, looking at a bye, if I lose I could be bottom of the division!!

Yeah, I spotted that, some great scoring in the division.

The Leinster division is a bit AFC Westy!

matthew8

Once again the team I played had its star play poorly. This time Drew Brees fell victim. Unbelievable that I'm 5-4, but my roster really isn't good enough going forward, unless Jay Cutler starts tearing it up.

Colts defense emergency pickup, worked out beautifully. Always a good rule that if you don't have anyone else, pick a team playing the Jags/Chiefs/Cardinals.

matthew8

Go Golden Tate! Him and the Colts providing great pickups.

Jimmy Iovine

I've broken the 1,000 points barrier tonight. It was either the Jets defence or Frank Gore that got me over the line.

Pretty nailed on to win my game as well.

Bring on the playoffs. Barring a disaster I'll get a bye. Hopefully I get the kinder side of the draw and I get a good run of games.

matthew8

You're tearing through the ranks. If I get promoted this year it'll be a disgrace, but unless Cutler has one of his trademark disasters (and it would truly have to be on the level of the Lambeau game) I'm going 6-4 and this will be well earned win. Can't count my chickens yet though, this is the Texans defense after all.

TBH on the basis of last year the whole league could get promoted if there are enough inactives in the higher leagues.

Bit annoying to go the whole season with 1/2 losses and then find someone who finished with 5/6 losses get promoted as well. Makes a mockery of it but that's the way it is.

matthew8

FFS Cutler. 1.3 points. I only needed 6. Another Cutler letdown in primetime.

that will really only happen in the lower leagues, as you move up the divisions less and less no shows.

yip, he did that to me so many times last year. one week i needed him to get two points and he ended up with 0.2 or some such, primetime game and he didn't get benched, i think he threw 6 ints or something like it (SF i think)

matthew8

This week team of rivals looks to put me out of my misery, but the projections reckon I'll win somehow.

Benimar

I have 5 players on a bye...could be a long week!

I made a few changes there and I've an 8 point lead on you.

Really annoyed with my WR situation though. All 3 are projected to get around 5/6 each. Not great.

Benny Cake

Squeaky bum time in the league as the business end of the season approaches.... Just looking at the various teams in our division. Hard to believe the quality of the team no: 1 seed "Team of Rivals" has put together, 9-1 with 1055 points scored. He has also only made 3 additions via free agency or waivers :eek:

Really need a win this week, currently tied atop the Leinster division....

And the only one that has really benefited me was Martellus Bennet. To be honest I could have done without him. Hasn't contributed much at all. I missed his good weeks.

To be fair I completely fluked it with the draft. At the start I didn't think RG3 was going to be as good as he has been. Marshall has really been great this year. I had him last year and he drove me insane. He had the most dropped passes in the red zone in the league I think.

My real stars have been my 3 RBs. Only 4 times has one of my starting RBs scored in single digits. That gives you a serious head start on the opposition. Alfred Morris is a beast. 110 points that I most definitely was not expecting at the start of the season.

All counts for nothing though if I can't get the business done in the post-season.

matthew8

Another crap QB decision. Decided not to start Matt Schaub for... Nick Foles. 33 point difference there. Houston weren't meant to be throwing at all today. Note to self: Don't overthink things.

matthew8

Or maybe not game over. Got to love the commitment to the cause Danario Alexander, scoring even when the game seems out of reach.

****ing devastating. Thought he wasn't going to get much never mind 2 TDs late on.

Need Marshall to step up to it.

Your fate is in Jason Campbell's hands. Hahaha. Really think Marshall should get it though.

I don't normally get upset about Fantasy Football, but this is as bad as I've felt after a 'loss'.

Sitting as the number 2 seed, taking on the No 15, I was confident enough.

I had to head to bed early last night as I was up at 6. At that point I was 45 points up and looked to be cruising. Couldn't believe it this morning when I saw that my 108 points wasn't enough!!

TY Hilton, Ravens D and Carson Palmer, I hate you!! (Also Torrey Smith who got me a magnificent 0.7 points!!)

Well done to Team Better than Awesome, but I'm absolutely sick! I have a tough one next week, and now I have a battle to just make the playoffs

Finally some luck for me!!

I saw i was running close after the 1pm games...all i was thinking was why the fcuk did i start Alex Green over Stephens-Howling...Green got 0pts while
Stephens-Howling had 19pts sitting on my bench.

Then suddenly I'm 45pts down, so oh well the benching of Stephens-Howling didn't really matter...here we go again, another thrashing.

I stopped checking during the day, but before i went to bed i had a quick look. I was 2pts down in the 3rd qtr of the Ravens - Steelers, i had Boldin and Ravens D, he had Torrey Smith....i may actually win this!

Delighted to see i won by a point this morning...i would have been gutted had i lost by a point, especially with 19pts sitting on my bench.

matthew8

You guys haven't even picked up on why the loss was so devastating. Team Better than awesome took the lead on the last play, on which the Steelers half-heartedly flung it around and the Ravens landed on it.

Benny Cake

Need forte and manningham to combine for less than 11.88 points to win my match against the San Diego tribesmen....

After drafting what we think are the elite players, and waiving and claiming off waivers for 10 weeks, this team of currently available players would have beaten any team in Division 4 this week!

Player|Pos|Pts|
Chad Henne|QB|30.86|
Bilal Powell|RB|18|
Jalen Parmele|RB|8.3|
Brandon LaFell|WR|15.3|
Aldrick Robinson|WR|10.9|
Julian Edelmann|WR|16.5|
Garrett Graham|TE|20.2|
Jay Feely|K|13|
Washington|DEF|17|
Total| |150.06|

My auto draft gave me 2 of that team La Fell (who I dropped on Sunday in a frantic effort to get a TE when I heard Hernandez was out - then internet failure resulted in Hernandez still starting).
and the Redskins defence (which I dropped from the start but have been consistently better than whatever team I ended up with on any particular week)

matthew8

Another bloody close loss, that's 3 of the last 4 weeks I've lost on poor decisions. I'm out of it completely now, unless I win twice, team awesome and moyross piebalds lose twice (one of them can be caused in the last week) and I make up 50 points difference on Piebalds. Still rankings to play for though, and I jump ahead of blue bloods this week with a win, and hopefully zebras/broncos too.

That was mighty close. I was blessed that you got your QB decision wrong. Otherwise you'd have hammered me.

10-1 now though. Really annoyed about that one loss. I got absolutely annihilated that week but I reckon if I'd met Team Awesome most other weeks I'd have bet him. That's the way it goes though.

poldebruin

I got Edelman off of waivers. Watch Bill Belichick bench him or he will go down with a season-ending injury. My team is the FF Madden curse.

matthew8

Delighted I got Kaepernick and Panthers off the wire. There's still a kick to get out of finishing above .500 so I'm motivated. Kaep got 18.72 against the Bears brilliant defense, god help the Saints "defense". Panthers, on the other hand, have Nick Foles and Brady Quinn to play in their last 2 regular season games.

They have improved over the last 4 games - but that's coming from a historically bad low!

Yeah, I'm pushing for a .500 finish too. I think I might still have a mathemathical chance of qualifying, but would need a miracle, and I'm up against the 10-1 juggernaut that is Team of Rivals. Hopefully he'll rest some of his starters for to avoid injury in the playoffs

Haha not a chance I'll be resting any one.

Foster had a low scoring game by his standards there. Not exactly as confident as I might have been. I'm behind on projected points. Gonna go down to the wire I'd say.

EDIT: I'm a rehab. Never realised Foster was still playing. 23 points is a great return. I'm feeling alright about it again.

my only comfort is that you didn't play Alfred Morris - still got Frank Gore up your sleeve though. I need Matt Ryan not to throw 5 ints this week.

Yea that was really annoying to see him score so well. I'm hopeful that Gore will outscore him though.
