13.85 with just Elam and Lindell.
I do think that a 3rd QB would be worthwhile, and may come back to haunt me.

I do think that a 3rd QB would be worthwhile, and may come back to haunt me.

98 with Marshall (-0), Gaffney (-0), and Prater (-4). I am not confident at all.

After fixing the lineup setup in Lineup Dominator, here's the final results against the predictionsMight make for some good "projection accuracy" discussion.Dodd's has me at 121 (I had D scoring wrong above)Don't know if this has been mentioned, but if you download Lineup Dominator, you can input your team and get a preview based on the predictions.
Which I think I wish I hadn't.
122 predicted points
And, just to prove I should strive for greater reading comprehension skills, I just realized that passing TDs were 6 points.
2nd Opinion has me at 118.2
Both of which I hope are really wrong on the low side.
odds: 131.12nd opinion: 128.9
Actual: 148
Not too far off, but I hope that's a trend of being ~20 points low, since my projections for the rest of the season are all right around potential cut lines.

133.75 with only Marshall left. Should squeek through. 
I know you were all wondering how my team is doing so here it is...
I'm sitting at 101.90 with only one guy remaining for tonights game. Randy Moss (-0.0).
If the 2008 Randy Moss comes to play, I'm doomed.
If the 2007 Randy Moss comes to play, I'll see you next week.

120.5 w/ Prater (-4). Way too close for comfort, but since I didn't even have a QB this week (Romo/Warner), the fact that I'm even ahead of the cut line to this point is better than I thought I'd be.

I'm not so sure, you know the Pats are going to try and take Marshall away tonight, and I hope they are successful.a big night by Cutler/Marshall could move the cutoff quite a bit. if i was close and didn't have either of those guys, i'd be
I think the main reason the number jumps tonight is Cutler. He is owned by a lot of teams, and I am sure he is the only qb playing this week on several rosters. That means there could be a bunch of teams under the cut line that will get all of Cutlers score. Marshall is owned by a lot of teams, and with injuries and byes I am sure if he has a good game that will raise a bunch of scores a significant amount. I am hoping it raises mine by 10 or more tonight.I am sure a math mind canl explain this better.I'm not so sure, you know the Pats are going to try and take Marshall away tonight, and I hope they are successful.a big night by Cutler/Marshall could move the cutoff quite a bit. if i was close and didn't have either of those guys, i'd be

I'm moving on with 161.25 from a tough week of byes.
Some guys really stepped up and had big games: Schaub overcame Brees' bad day, Shockey played and scored well, Kasay was my only kicker and put up 15, and the biggest surprise was Nate Washington who scored 14.3 for me when I had to have it (only 3 WR's playing).
I don't have a single player on bye next week, so I should be on to week 9!!!

116.3 with Cutlet (-21), Marshall and Gaffney (-1) to go. If Gaffney could get a cheap TD I think I'm good, otherwise

10+ even going back through last year is unusual, but not unheard of. It tends to happen when the score is already low, and there are big scores from widely held players. Tonight seems like one of those nights, with cutler and marshall poised to put some numbers up. As others have stated, there is a pretty large group of teams with no QB score yet that are counting on him to pay off. I'm definitely glad I have both of them and I'm already on the good side (although just barely). If they flop, I should be OK, and if they go off, my score should raise much faster than the cut since they both count basically immediately.I'm pretty much guessing a 15-20 point rise tonight. I will be working the fantasy star database when I get home tonight (probably about 2nd quarter) to let the thread know how things are progressing. FYI, putting Dodd's projections in the database for just Cutler and Marshall pushes the cut +15...hang on if you don't have a dog in the race!

Lamont Jordan ($5) - owned by 3.8% (191) - doubtful for tonight
Ryan Torain ($5) - owned by 1.8% (88) - questionable for tonight, also unlikely to make an impact for this week
Michael Pittman ($4) - owned by 1.3% (66)
Kevin Faulk ($6) - owned by 1.0% (52)
Sammy Morris ($9) - owned by 0.5% (23)

What exactly is your problem? Last year I tracked my own scores. Of course,that meant spending time each Monday/Tuesday going to the box scores of a dozen games, picking out my players, getting their stats and doing the math. Trust me, the math was the quick part. Now, through the kindness of OC, I click on a link and in two seconds I see my score. Why, exactly, does this deserve ridicule and scorn? The site has problems, so people here post to alert OC. Why, exactly, does that deserve ridicule and scorn? If you are somehow empowered by doing the searching and calculating yourself, wonderful. I can respect the "do it myself" mentality, but I don't see why that requiires insulting those who don't. If, on the other hand, you are empowered only by ridiculing those who don't, then you have issues.

hopefully i can squeeze by (Turner, DeSean Jackson, Romo, Nugent, Courtney Taylor with zeroes) with my only QB being Brees
i sit 13 behind projected cutoff with:
BMarsh (0.00 & 6.20)
Gaffney (0.00 & 6.20)
Prater (0.00)
assuming Gaffney scores less than 6.20 i need BMarsh and Prater to score about 20 just to be safe
will be for nought though if Romo doesn't man up an play during Brees bye week cause those are the only two QBs i have (not liking that gamble now as much as i was 1 week ago when 26.5 was the LOWEST QB scoring week I had)

I am happy with the $13 I invested in my 3 QB's. Two of them have saved me from elimination. I wish I was as happy with my WR's and TE's.

I'd sure like to go back in time and reallocate the $4 I spent on the wasted roster space of Jacoby Jones or Hagan, and picked up Ryan as #3. At least now, I don't have to worry about byes for Ben or Garrard anymore.I am happy with the $13 I invested in my 3 QB's. Two of them have saved me from elimination.

That's pretty cool. Thumbsup to whoever did that. I stand at 125.25 and I'm done. I hope it stays true. I did have Stokley but don't think he's playing tonight. THe things I would have done differently.... Losing Romo is big for me as I only have ELI and my RB's are not great. Each year I get a little further. LOL

Well said.
126.1 and done. Hoping for a low scoring game or rushing TD's. Taking a 0 at one WR spot and only 6 as my best of three defenses could kill me. Was hoping for more from Jason Cambell in the one week that I needed him also. Hoping to slip through and get McNabb/Warner/Fitz & DeSean back to make a run.
How many times did Jamal Lewis fail to score from the 1 yard line? Could have used a few more points in the clutch this week since he has been uselss all year.
I will be kicking myself is switching from the Bears D to the Bucs to save a buck ends up costing me this week.

166.45!! Schaub and Slaton have been money...saved my ### this week w/ McNabb on a bye and Kitna done for the year...Megatron and Santana Moss have also been awesome most weeks. I really like my team this year...by far the strongest club i've put together and the longest i've lasted.
ETA: Portis has been by far my best performer..he's been absolute MONEY every week. his worst showing was 14.5...most weeks 20+...

#117 overall last week, 79.90 through Sunday and cut this week

Done in ultimately by Romo and Addai's injures and Wayne's pathetic game.
