The league I am 13-0 in, the guy had him left and I have Lacy. D. Thomas doing nothing today and Jamaal Charles slowing down looks like it will hurt.

At 13-0, shouldn't you be on a bye this week? I'm glad I'm on bye.. Peyton Mannig blew a stinker. Not gonna lie though, Manning does have me a bit worried going into next week.

0-3 in playoff games yesterday. Would've been 0-4 if I didn't have a bye in one. Fuck this game. Fuck Peyton Manning, D Thomas, Jimmy Graham, Josh Gordon, the New Orleans Saints, etc, etc....

Be glad you're not the guy playing me. By the time Thursday's game was over, I already beat his projected.

Jimmy Graham has been so brutal, I mean i have to assume he's hurt or something. I won in spite of him and I made a trade to get him late in the season specifically so I could use him for the these playoffs. If he does this again next week it's all over for me.

It's keeper and auction PPR. Much easier to assemble a monster team in that format.

Only upside of me losing to KeithTalent is that I don't have that nightmare matchup to look forward to, lol. :D :(

He is hurt, his shoulder is still fucked up. Probably more than they tell us as well. But don't feel bad, all of the Saints did awful yesterday. I've never seen that team play so bad. I started Kenny stills and almost lost in standard league because of him, J.Reed, Gordon, and Shayne Graham. Demarco/Leveon/DST did the heavy lifting thank god. I got a combined 8 points out of the guys above, they were projected for around 35. Fuck.

Yeah Stills, Graham and Greg TheBrokenLeg Zuerlein killed me. 6 combined points there. Rivers put up a shitty 11 points. Andre Williams who's been a plodding sack of crap for his time in for Jennings was sitting on my bench for 20 points.

In another league Cutler and Newton were my QB's and were miserably inconsistent. So I don't play either of them and play Fizpatrick this week. They both explode for 30+ points. Demarius Thomas and Gordon both sucked it up big time.

Yep, I'm done. This year and forever.

Lol. I'm thinkin about hangin up the fantasy gloves myself. Got blown out this week by over 100 points in a 2 week playoff format, so next week will be meaningless. Its been such a rollercoaster year that I've been unable to enjoy watching football because of how disappointing my team has been.

Yeah right!

I really mean it this year. I did stop a league I was in for 9 years this year because I was just no longer into it. I've been in the ATOT league for about 6 years now, and another with some old coworkers for a couple years.

I've just lost the ability to enjoy stand alone games, tired of cheering for individual players to well for my own benefit, and just can do more with my life than hawk over statistics on my phone when I should be a parent or doing something more productive.

My daughter is due next April and I'm considering giving up FF as well or just switching to FanDuel.

I'm just sort of getting annoyed with electronics/cell phones in general and the total obliviousness of parents in regards to their kids. I'm constantly telling my wife to put the damn phone down because the kids just go ape shit trying to fight for attention over the phone. Yesterday I was at an indoor playground and it was just a bunch of kids running around and Moms with their faces burried in facebook and Dad's looking at fantasy football scores.

Bleh.

That's another topic. And we wonder why attention spans are what we are and we have come up diagnostic labels like "electronic fatigue".

Just don't install the phone apps, and don't check scores until after games are over or until sunday/monday night. I find that to be too frustrating and annoying most of the time.

Completely agree. I can't even go to a bar with my 30-something year old friends anymore without them all staring at their screens the whole time. And they didn't even grow up this way. I mourn for future generations.

it's not worth the stress. I like the ATOT leagues because there isn't much pressure, but that's because the stakes are lower so I don't care as much. Maybe that's enough for me though, where it's still fun and not about the money.

in my friends league the pot pushed past $4k and losing hurts. and winning once every 'x' years probably isn't worth it all

That league sounds unique and awesome though. I think if I was going to do it I would only do that one league and kick all of the others to the curb.

kt, who do you have as your wr for tonight?

i wanna know if i'm going to finally win some money tonight.

RC Cola baby. You?

I'm up by 57 and I am still nervous about tonight's game. My opponent has Rodgers and Nelson.
