Thank you to the the few people that told.me to get Jordan reed a few weeks back!

He saved me this week big time! Almost 30points in ppr!! I hope he is a 5 reception type of guy going forward.

I had him on my bench and played Bennett. Lost by 1.5 points :-(

He wasn't on my radar til the few here mentioned it. I think u were one of them.

I was stuck at TE, pettigrew, Winslow, celek. Was what i played first 6 weeks. Never got me 10 points. Now with reed, he looks decent. He does hurt my garcon numbers but I don't care as long as one of them gets the ball.

I gotta look at freeman tonight. Might grab him for my fill-in qb next week.

Ouch. I hate games that pan out like that.

I sit with 101 points and Eli left to play tonight (Brees on bye, so don't judge me!)

My opponent is at 75 points and has AP left to play tonight.

I'm NOT counting my eggs before they hatch.

I counted my eggs. I'm up 41, I got Greg Jennings left. And he has Eli and nicks. So unless 500 yard Eli shows up.

Had I not benched cj0k I would be up by 55 or so.

Don't blame you for benching cjCrapK. That was the first run he's broken all season and it was in garbage time.

Eli would have to throw a lot tonight against a bad MN defense since Jacobs is allegedly doubtful. I think it may be a big night for Cruz.

Jacobs is doubtful now? Damnit.

Yuck. I lost Murray last week. Sproles was next in line. He's on bye this week. Pierre Thomas was behind him and on bye. So I grab Jacobs hoping he'll fall into the endzone for a half dozen points. Now he's out.

So yeah...grabbed up Cox on a gamble dropping Jacobs. Bleh.

Now I am sitting in a running back situation in a ppr league but its a good situation. I have Lynch, Sproles, Zac Stacy and Eddie Lacy with only 2 spots. Lynch is a must start but the #2 spot may be a little tricky with the emergence of Lacy. I'll probably continue to start Sproles until I see a reason not to. If all 4 of the running backs continue to produce I may sling a trade for an upgrade at QB.

Reggie Wayne ruled out for rest of season. Grab T. Y. Hilton if he's available in your league. I'm hoping that my dropping Hilton for K. Allen doesn't come back to bite me in the ass.

And after breaking up with Eli Manning and dropping him a few weeks ago I decided to rekindle the relationship and was able to pick him up this morning and drop Foles. I'll need him next week with Rivers on bye

I can't remember a season with so many injuries. WTF is going on here

I think there a couple reasons for this. Number one is the NFL has decided concussions are real injuries, so getting your "Bell Rung" is no longer a joke. It means you are out of the game and might miss multiple weeks. Number two is that the rules have been changing to favor wide open passing attacks. This means the quarterbacks have the ball in their hands more, receivers are getting the ball more and there are a lot more high speed over the middle plays.

Another reason: Can't hit high so players are getting hit low. This doesn't account for the freak non-contact injuries like Wayne's.. but still.

This and the Goodell decided that high hits are dangerous and they are getting penalized. Thus players are now forced to tackle lower.

Bye Bye Doug Martin...Goddammit!

First Julio and Now Martin...talk about taking a donkey kick in the junk for my team...who the hell is left on waivers anymore...seems like every week a major starter is out for the year!

It is sad when I am looking at the backup of Doug Martin as a starter because of Injuries and people on Bye lol.

Yep, with that injury I'm approaching 100% injury turnover on my workplace league team. Vick Ballard, Ahmad Bradshaw, Reggie Wayne, Steven Jackson, Shane Vereen, and David Wilson, all gone. Five starting feature RBs for their team and arguably Fantasy RB1s lost. From my original draft I'm left with Tony Romo, Mike Williams, and my kicker.

Yep, Doug Martin being out for the year is brutal. Running backs are having a rough go this season

Jimmy Graham is still uncertain for Sunday. I would be surprised if he sees much action, Saints need to rest him.

Jay Cutler is out for at least 4 weeks. This will no doubt downgrade Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery a little bit.

Sucks cause I was liking Alshon Jeffery as my #3 WR on a team.

My Keeper league has been brutal.

Came into the year with Wayne, Amendola and Martin. Lost two of the three this week and Amendola may has well be done for the year as he's done jack all thus far. Also picked up Kaepernick for my QB in that league and have since ditched him for Rivers since week 4. Also have McFadden in that league with a perrenial "Q" tag on him.

I need AD to break a long one and have a decent game to have a shot at winning this week after what Decker did last night. If anyone can do it, he can.
