oops, forgot to switch out cadet for rainey. guessing I won't be very happy about that

 

[T2urtle]

Not the start I wanted, cooks and cadet got me 6 each. Least I played someone with colston so it is a wash at WR.

 

[Away]

I did pretty well, had Ingram in my RB1 spot and he earned it. The debacle that was Peterson is behind me now.

 

[rcpratt]

Yeah another bust for Cooks, but at least my opponent had Benjamin.

 

[eits]

I dropped Ingram after he broke his hand only because I had to. I tried getting him back off of waivers and someone else with higher priority snagged him.

I really didn't think he would do what he is doing now.

At this point I might have to drop Pierre Thomas..

 

[SP33Demon]

Brees is pissing me off damnit.

The Saints did pretty well for being on the road and playing after a Sunday night game (BS btw, I agree with Payton). They said they had to keep the playbook very basic, can't imagine how bad Carolina would been beaten if the Saints had the full week to prepare.

Yeah, I'm also pondering dropping him as well. Going to wait a bit, PT has played ok this year for PPR, standard you can probably drop him.

Anyway, I picked up Sims as a longshot for PPR. You have to figure they're going to play the 3rd rounder sooner than later with their shitty record, and they know that Doug Martin is not the answer.

he was tearing it up before he got injured.

Yep, thanks for the reminder

8th entry done

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

Traded away bills D for the Dallas TE1 and grabbed the Miami D from waivers. Not sure why the other guy didn't just grab Miami.

Also grabbed the Ind WR2 even though he is similar point wise to their TE1 so sort of a WR2/3

 

[fridgers]

Weeden or Carr?

 

[Adrenaline]

Weeden, Oakland is in Seattle

Edit:

Carr is doing a lot better than I thought he would.

 

[slayer202]

Hmm should I play -2.2 pts Philip Rivers or 35.7 Big Ben

 

[SP33Demon]

Big Ben crushed it for me, highest point total of the week barring 7 TDs from Luck tonight. Martavius Bryant was the missing ingredient for that offense.

The 12 touchdown passes over the last two games broke the mark of 11 set by Tom Flores for Oakland in the AFL in 1963 and matched by New England's Tom Brady in 2007.
...
Ben Roethlisberger's 12 TDs over two games also fueled his fantasy production, giving him the most fantasy points by a QB in back-to-back games since 1960.
...
Only the Ravens and Eagles have more touchdowns on deep passes (9 and 8, respectively) on the SEASON, than Roethlisberger has in the last two games.
...
Ben Roethlisberger and Y.A. Tittle are the only players in NFL history with multiple games of at least 6 Pass TD in the same season.

slayer I'd keep riding Ben until he cools off. This is unprecedented.

 

[dougp]

I was originally projected to lose by 20 points - at this point, I'm only 10 down and I have OBJ to play and he has no one. Redskins really screwed me on this one with a -3 this week, while Tannehill, Emmanuel Sanders, Denard Robinson, and Bryant all did much better than expected.

Yeah, you are going to win this one. I just know OBJ is going to score like 11.5 points, which is just enough to give you the win, but a point shy of what I need in the other league where I have him. :\

Tannehill sure worked out well for you. I was also expecting more from Bell last night, but I guess Ben was just throwing all game?

Yeah Ben threw a lot (25/37), mainly because it was the ideal matchup (stout Run D vs weak secondary) so it set up the perfect storm. Next week could be a similar scenario vs NYJ, albeit on the road.

 

[Away]

I have a 25 point lead and my opponent has Luck and Bradshaw tonight. Go Giants!

I have a 14 point lead and my opponent has Luck and Moncrief tonight. I feel you.

 

[digiram]

I needed 1 more td from Manning b/c I sat Edleman to start A. Johnson. Lost by 5 pts.

Yeah I don't know wtf is wrong with AJ this year, maybe age is finally catching up with him, he had a prime matchup yesterday and did nothing. It also doesn't help when the team is talking about starting Ryan Mallet over Fitz. On the other hand, Edelman looked like a rock star with that long return to the house and Brady seemed to exclusively target him, Gronk, and LaFell.
