Eli Manning had a dream matchup on paper and this happens. Matchups in fantasy are so overrated.
Until they aren't. Plus this wasn't just about a matchup. Eli was playing well coming in to tonight and the offense seemed to be clicking.
 
I'm about to be 2-4 instead of 4-2 because I started Donnell the last two weeks (also started him for his 3TD week, but still).

That holding call...not good for my blood pressure. Would have the lead if that held (or if I started Sproles over Donnell like I nearly did, flex spot)

I played against an owner who started Ridley & McKinnon @ RB. Barring unfavorable stat corrections, I'm gonna win. It shouldn't be this hard. Chargers DST, Roddy White & my flier on Odell Beckham win the "screw you" prize this week.

If it weren't for that bogus call, Victor Cruz would still be playing football in 2014. Damn it.

 
up 15 and he's got Phil Dawson. Normally, I say this is a lock. But Dawson has scored 20 and 17 points in my league the past two weeks. :o

 
Holy #### brag: In a PPR league, all 3 of my WRs are in the top 10 for receptions and 2 of them are in the top 10 for yards. One of my RBs, Forte is leading the ENTIRE league in receptions. My other RBs are Mccoy who is seemingly back after the SNF domination of the Giants, Forsett and Vereen. TEs are Cameron, Kelce and Wright, and my QB is based Supreme Dragonpriest Phillip Rivers. And of course the Pats D/ST.

Grieve: Ive somehow lost two games this year.

 
now im down by 22 and has SF defense and I have Brian Quick. I need a TY game. PPR plus 3 point bonus for 100 5 point for 200

I started a keeper league with spiller, Stacy, Ridley, mjd, Hyde, McFadden. The most productive if the six going forward may be McFadden .

 
That last Stacy garbage catch (when he hadn't been in the game for awhile) didn't quite beat me, but it does mean that I have to sweat out the stat corrections now.

i mean you had to know those guys would all suck, right?
It was a keeper league where I came in second last year riding Gordon, AJG, Marshall and Brees. Backs were almost besides the point, and I knew they were going to be my weak spot, but hoped I could play matchups and get low end RB2 production out of spiller and stacy (they were both preseason top 20 guys)But we are now six weeks in, and other than forsett off the waiver wire, I don't have a top 30 RB on my roster.

Ughh. Forsett kinda a blessing eh?
 
I am an active member on another forum...I joined three money leagues with people from that forum this year...I literally have the most points against in all three leagues. In one of them I have 717 against and the second most is 611 with the guy currently in first at a mere 488 against.

It doesn't matter how good you are or how well your players do when you are ####ed over by the random luck of head to head matchups.

#### you Eli. #### you.
I hear you. 2-4 now in large part due to RG III and Eli. Hard to ride 3 to 6 point QB performances for too long...let alone C Johnson and Cordarelle Patterson and CJ Spiller and...and...!!!

This. Finally won my first game this week and am now 1-5. Sadly, I am 5th in scoring but dead last in points against - next closest points against is 58 points (almost 10 points a game) less. Total luck.

It really sucks huh

 
Last week traded Wallace and Vareen for Ben Tate. Was finally happy to get rid of Vareen for a legit rb. The guy i traded him to actually traded him away a few days later to another team... The very same team Im playing this week.

 
Picked Vereen up then had to drop for a bye week TE. Tried to get him back this week but guy I play did. Ouch.

 
...and that I didn't drop the turd sandwich of CJ spiller and Cordarelle Patterson last week to pick up Tom Brady, and get to ride Eli Manning and his Disaster Train even further.
