Dave Bryce Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 The Gronk thing is maddening. I have him in my $ league. WTF...Drew Rosenhaus' doctor is the guy with final say? dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 OK Scott. This is your chance. I've scored fewer points overall than you this season. If we had played each other every week you would be 4 and 2. I thought my team was a roller coaster but your scores have ranged from 47.68 to 112.62. Let's roll the dice and see what happens. You'll probably slaughter me this week - Drew Brees is on a bye... Ahhh, but your reserve QB gets to play Dallas, the team that has allowed the second most points from QB's so far this year. My QB's play Chicago and StL. Both in the middle of the pack for QB defense. I guess that is why your reserve is projected to outscore either of my "elite" QB's. I'm already starting a WR that I picked up on waivers. Now Jones (GB) may be out and Gronk may sit 2 more weeks. Meh. Half my team came from the wire. None of my sleeper picks panned out, not to mention my first and second rounders (Rice and Brown) have combined for a shade under 60 points - 20 of which happened while Rice was on my bench because all reports said he wasn't going to play... A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 To Gronk or not to Gronk? Cam or RG3? Should I play Ridley (my second choice overall) or pick someone up from the wire? Is this what makes it fun? This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJUSCULE Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 This is the first time my QB choice has really bombed. Uh oh... Eric Website Gear page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I had no hope against the Spidermen. It wasn't like I was going to trade into some high-point players.

RABid Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Foster gets one fantasy point before going out with a hamstring. My top receiver finished the day with 2 points. My bench QB got 2x the points of my starting QB. I think Griff is on his way to his first win. This post edited for speling.

ProfD Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I left a lot of points on the bench this week. It would be interesting to know the most points left sitting on the sidelines on any given Sunday. Still having a blast though.

Joe Muscara Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Wait a minute - a little more Luck and an off night for Cruz tomorrow and I could win this thing...

RABid Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I guess starting Gronk in the R/W/T slot worked out. He got 11.4. Four other starters on my team, two wide receivers, running back, and tight end combined for 9.0 points. Had a lot of my players knocked out early in games. Not sure what it will do to my lineup next week if they don't recover. This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny's once-vaunted defense is a mere shell of itself these days. All the Giants are capable of doing these days is throw - which is something the Vikings are completely incapable of preventing. Clearly the Colts' offense slowed down towards the end of that game. I was hoping the threat of another Peyton-engineered comeback would have motivated them to score more than they did. Oh well. My only hope now is Cruz scoring negative fantasy points tonight, ha ha. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Griffinator Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 In other news, my mighty team of misfits finally cracked the win column this week, at the expense of brother Robert.

Enjoy the free win, Sakari! You can still set them. Only players/teams that have already played are locked. Bench Cutler and Andre Johnson for Wilson and Floydand drop Santana Moss or the hapless hopeless Ben Tate to pick up a D. I'd suggest Philly@NYG or GB@MIN. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffinator Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Well thank goodness for self-deprecation and helpful mods! Also took the opportunity to gamble on Vick. Slim pickings for QBs these days. I needed a bye week defense and didn't particularly want to drop KC, so I had to leave Vick out there instead of picking him back up when I dropped Foles. Here's hoping Brees stays healthy the entire year... :idk A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I got lucky. My TE did zero, but Jordy Nelson picked up the slack, and Kaepernick had a decent enough game. Bailey has kept me in some games and this was no exception. Next week should be an interesting matchup for me... "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Bridog6996 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Brady has been fantasy Kryptonite this year. Even Eli Manning, with the year he's had so far, has outscored him. I didn't think it would come to this, but it might be high time for me to look for a deal if any one has a decent QB 1 on their bench they might be willing to trade. The upswing I'm waiting for from Brady just doesn't seem to be coming, and I don't think I can take looking at another single digit or just barely double digit line from my QB spot. Oh, and fantasy gods...please guide the leg of Steven Hauschka to 11 points or more tomorrow night! My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJUSCULE Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Ugh. Russell reaaaallly had to throw both TDs to Golden Tate and get sacked 7 times. He's been pretty up and down this season. They're winning, but he's not always helping me all that much. Eric Website Gear page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 dB was sweating bullets until the Rams kicked their last FG. No doubt, man. I couldn't believe SEA didn't let Lynch run the ball more....especially when they were on the 1 on the sequence where Tate scored his first TD. Running Wilson twice? What were they thinking? :roll eyes: Eric - you and I are going to have an odd matchup this week - half of both our teams are on byes. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I got matched with kanker this week, and lucky me, both Peyton Manning and Calvin Johnson are on byes. So who does he pick up? Chris Johnson (29 pts) and Nick Foles (57.64 pts). "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Bridog6996 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Man, I pick this week to finally bench Brady after a series of abysmal outings, and he goes off. This is proving to just not be my year, fantasy-wise. I'm getting thoroughly rinsed in both leagues I'm in. I can't make a good call to save my life. Meanwhile, there's Kanker...picks up Foles off waivers, gets almost 60 points. Is Kanker human, or he is he some kind of advanced fantasy-predicting robot from the future? Kankerbot?
