KT has a super stacked team. Not sure how we let him get away with that, bastard is too good at auctions lol.

Meanwhile the usual beginning of season fumbleitis for the Giants has struck my team. And Dez Bryant did nothing, being double covered most of the night, and being hurt on a play. Frustrating game to watch, though you have to respect Eli's ability to hustle in the 4th quarter. Giants still lost, but the people who have him in fantasy must be happy.

Dez Bryant was probably my biggest disappointment this week, but at least my opponent knows how it feels since he had Megatron.

I should have did it, I still won the week in that league unless Alfred Morris has a hall of fame performance Monday. I am up by 32 points with Cruz, Manning still playing and Owen Daniels Monday.

Edit: Cruz & Manning just connected again so that pretty much seals the deal

morris will have a hall of fame performance. so will rg3.

I had a chance to take Boldin for $1 ...

Keeper's are fucking lame. This will be the last year I do that as a newcomer.

Keeper's are tough, I'll give you that, but I like the challenge. The good thing about head to head is it's still possible to beat a crazy good team down the road. The best teams dont necessarily win the league or even make it to the playoffs all the time.

I like being the underdog. It means I spend (well, waste) more time looking at the waiver wire and watching the games. :D Love me the Jordan Cameron pickup I made. Totally lucked out on that, and Gronk might be back next week.

At least he did give you negative points like David Wilson did for me
Funny thing, I played against David Wilson in two leagues this week, so I was a bit happy about his performance. It also made me glad I chose DeMarco Murray over him in my PPR league.

Unless Alfred Morris gets 74 points while Owen Daniels lays a goose egg then I am safe for the week :p

I could see Daniels with about 90 yards and one or two touchdowns.

By the way, when will you guys learn that my advice for fantasy football is typically pretty solid? Didn't we (ATOT fantasy posters) have this debate last year and I won?

The various players I started who fucked me:

David Wilson
Cecil Shorts
Roddy White
Ed Dickson
Ryan Succup
Frank Gore (should have known better)
Trent Richardson (never wanted him in the first place. The guy is ridiculously overrated)

Just so everyone knows, I'm in five leagues. So, these are just players from various teams that didn't do shit for me.

My question from earlier about Tate or Lacy, I chose Redman over....... Boldin off the WW. I was debating between those two and figured Redman against TN would be double digit points. The Steelers are in big trouble.

Looks like I'm going 1-3 this week. Almost every person I played had 2 guys doing career high type performance for week 1.

I have a chance at surviving the wrath of Peyton in one league. I'm down 31 points with Shady McCoy and Bob III yet to play tonight. I think I can pull it off. Cruz was beastly last night for me. And it didn't hurt that I had Demetrius Thomas collecting points off of Peyton's rampage.

Same here. 1-3 this week.

The first loss I was going up against Manning but my team did perform rather well so I am not very worried. The second loss was an autopicked team, oh well.

Third loss is my most concerning, my two starting running backs did very little and my RB depth sucks. Roddy White is one of my starting WR and he is hurt. I am expecting a pretty bad season from this team at the moment but could bounce back and squeak into the playoffs.

I have julius Thomas and Jason Witten. I need to sell one of them high

Thomas is likely to be a more volitile player and least likely to consistently produce points. Witten is old reliable and a guy you can set every week and not worry. If you can sell Thomas now get it while it's hot.

This.

82 is the most consistent TE in the league. Sure, others have more TDs but Witten has a crapton more targets.
