I think I lost in all 4 ATOT leagues

Dude, why did you pick up Bailey (League #1)? I dropped him for a reason ...

Regardless, I'm now down 10 against a guy who started Greg Jennings - thanks to the combination of Torrey Smith & Ogletree having bad days, as well as Tom Brady having a rough first half as well.

All I have left to play is my TE - either Tony Gonzalez or Jacob Tamme ... I'm starting Tamme, good idea?
 
^^^^ X-rays negative on a bone break. Looked like a possible ankle sprain to me. So 4-6 weeks depending on severity?

I thought I was going to have a bad game the way Eli started his game. But my opponent had it even rougher with only Romo and MJD barely making it into double digit scores for his team.

I think Hernandez had a high ankle sprain late last season. Pretty sure he was only out for about two weeks on it.

When they (espn fantasy) were talking about Forte and high ankle sprains it really can be anywhere from 2-8 weeks depending on the injury and if surgery is needed. Highly variable.
 
my PPR team went off this week: Cam Newton, Reggie Bush, CJ Spiller, Danny Amendola... too bad Fitz and AJ don't get the ball thrown to them.

Same here, except I still have Decker and Gonzalez to play. Unless Matt Ryan happens to have an 80 point game without the services of Tony Gonzalez, I'm pretty sure I won this week.
 
what're the odds of my opponent covering a 42 point differential with McGahee and Roddy White with me still having Tamme left to play?

If I can win that one, i've swept all three of my leagues this week.

I would say you are probably okay if your league is pretty standard scoring.
 
I lost Aaron Hernandez and Ahmad Bradshaw in one of my leagues yesterday. SUCKKKK

My other league I'm doing good though
 
I think I must have had the worst possible week as a fantasy owner.

I have Chris Johnson, Pierre Garcon, Greg Jennings, and Aaron Hernandez on my team.

I know it's my fault for drafting CJ1YPC and thinking he wouldn't shit the bed this year, but the other guys are actually decent. I just hope Garcon and Jennings are healthy next week and actually get some production. Jennings got shut down in week 1.

I'm lucky to have Tony Gonzalez as my backup TE but I have zero depth at WR. Got some waiver wire guys to fill in for Jennings and Garcon but none of them worked out.

In my other leagues I had hits and misses but right now I'm behind in all of them and hoping that certain players in tonight's game do really well. I basically need it to turn into a high scoring shootout to salvage my week.

Well garcon and jennings should hopefully be back sooner rather than later. If he's available, you should try picking up Hankerson while garcon is still out.

I got Aldrick Robinson leading up to the game yesterday. He got 2 catches for 40 yards :\

I mean, it looks like RG3 is the real deal, so his receivers will do well. It's just a question of WHICH ones, and I got unlucky in that regard, at least this week.

Yeah. I wouldn't trust anyone on that team consistently till RGIII gets a few more games under his belt and clicks with one of the WR's but Hankerson is a good a die-roll as any. This coming from a guy who has both Garcon and Hankerson.

I feel like really consistent WR's are getting rarer as there's an influx of new QB talent and more focus on defending the pass. Unless you're part of team Big Blue that is...
 
So who's been the biggest duds so far(excluding injury)? Jamal Charles? Fitzgerald? Andre Johnson? Stafford? Calvin Johnson?

Darren McFadden and his 2.1 YPC over 2 games? (Granted week 1 was salvaged for PPR folks)

CJnoK and his collective I think 47 yards over 2 games?

The Dallas Cowboys (in general).

Justin Blackmon.

Good call, but I had zero faith in Chris Johnson anyway. He's a lost cause. McFadden has been bad in the rush, but at least he's had a lot of receiving yards to subsidize his box scores.

I have a feeling we're going to be tacking on AP and maybe Trent Richardson to this category this season. What do they all have in common? They're all in really crappy passing teams. No matter how good an RB you are, it's not easy to produce when the box keeps getting stuffed.
 
On a more humorous note, I just got offered a fairly dumb (in my opinion) trade offer:
I'd give away: Trent Richardson and Percy Harvin
I'd Get: Chris Johnson and Dwayne Bowe

my team:

QB: Romo
RB: AP, Trent Richardson, Ryan Mathews (bench)
WR: Jordy Nelson, Percy Harvin, Pierre Garcon (bench), Hankerson, Heyward-Bey, Kendall Wright
TE: Tamme

Needless to say, I rejected the offer with extreme prejudice. I even did the whole "deal breaker" and "stars" checkbox and put a very colorful comment just to make sure he knows how crappy of an offer it was.
 
Speaking of pass happy...what's up with Wes Welker and Tom Brady? Those two have a divorce?
