This has been an incredibly annoying season for me, enough for me to probably not play next year. Every week my opponent puts up the league high score while my team shits the bed. I get a break this week in one league and Aaron Rodgers decides to stink it up

I had a year where people on my team got injured in every slot except my QB (Peyton). My K even got injured that year. The next year, I did not even look at FF stuff. Then the following year, my friends talked me into doing their league. Right now, that is the only one I am winning in out of the four leagues I play in.

Cruz might be worthwhile but the rest of the team is a disaster.

I am not starting anyone from the Giants. Victor Cruz is getting benched for Jordy Nelson and Eli Manning is heading to dumpsville. At this point I will take my chances with Rivers instead of suffering through Manning's terrible games and garbage time points

So today I started, Kaepernick, Bryant, Spiller, Mathews, Edelman, and Finley, with Welker yet to play. They combined for 22 points, I'm sitting at 35 total with defense and kicker. The only two I really cant complain about being totally worthless is Finley due to concussion, and Bryant because the cowboys were smoking the rams. I realize Spiller got hurt, but the guy is a total bust. In short my team sucks.

I'm actually still beating the guy this week by 9 points because Peyton has yet to play, his team is actually in worse shape than mine. I'm gonna be 0-3, in large part due to Spiller being totally worthless

You might as well pick up Fred Jackson if he is available as its pretty clear he will be taking over in Buffalo.

He's not. It's a 12 team league so there's really not anybody of worth available. I picked up Mcgahee the other day though , maybe he'll be worth something

Ugh, hello 0-3.

I am winning by 4 points, but my opponent has Darren McFadden and Sebastian Janikowski going tomorrow night, so unless the team bus blows up on the way to the game, I'm pretty much done. Here was his starters this week, and he's going to fucking beat me:

Andy Dalton
Darren McFadden
DeMarco Murray (game of his life)
Reggie Wayne
Brian Hartline
Charles Clay
Sebastian Janikowski
Tennessee Titans

I keep losing close ones because at least two of my guys shit the bed and fuck me over. This week, Kaepernick and Boldin. I've only been getting consistent production out of AD, Jimmy Graham, and Luck (althought I benched him this week).

crap crap crap, was looking at a nice week of 30-0 (excluding the screwy AT league) and the bears decided to not cover 1 receiver all night, so tomorrow night I need mcfadden to beat thomas by about half a dozen or it's just a 2-1 weekend.

Through 3 weeks I am about to be 0-3 with 432 points total. Another guy is 3-0 with 432 points. FML.

I was in a kinda wonky 6 team league one year, I just made top four at playoffs to get int, even though I had almost a 4 digit points advantage against the 2nd place team. Everyone who played me somehow ended up with their best score of the year.

Cam, Charles, and Gordon saved me! Cobb, Marshall, and Lamar Miller didn't really show up

So i thought i was going 0-3 on the week but i might go 1-2. Im up to 22 and my opponent has J.Thomas (TE) and Moreno while i only have M. Prater tonight. Think i can hold him off? This wouldnt even be close if it wasnt for A.Brown going off last night (apparently after i stopped watching the anemic Steelers offence). He got my 31 points which put me back in the race.

Check out how pathetic this matchup is. We both have by far the lowest points in the league and even though he started Reggie Bush I still might lose if Sebastian goes off tonight

Defenses are all luck, which is lame. he had guys put up 1, 0, 2, and 1 point and it's a close game? that's pretty hilarious.

Who the hell plays without fractional points?

This league is so dumb, the only reason I joined back is because I won last year which I obviously won't be repeating. Its ppr, 30 receving yrds per point, 15 rushing yrds per point, 5 pt passing touchdowns. And to top it off we only have 4 bench spots

that's beyond dumb, drop that league and save yourself the headache

It's with a bunch of friends and I have been in the league since 2008, the commish changed the rules last year. For some reason this was the first year with no dues which is fine with me cause my team sucks and I ain't winning.
