[Alberta Clipper]

Thank you PT - my only RB this week. His 15 pts gets me

up to 130 pts.

 

[rustycolts]

It looks like this is my last week done with a 119.Fun while it lasted

 

[The Man With No Name]

I am sure I am very unique in having Wells and Felix but I'll top 140 and move on. For now Taiwan Jones may score for me at RB this week!

525 still alive with both going into this week

 

[a_troll00]

This is the one week that I was worried about. Brady on bye, I didn't think Orton would be benched this quickly.

Still managed to compile 124.1 points with Ray Rice at -8.8 still to go.

Hopefully that gets me by this week. Survive and advance...

 

[Bonka]

If I could flex my second defense this week, I'd possibly stand a chance. Since I can't...turk is coming for me tonight to save time tomorrow.

Oh well, probably saves me the agony of a week 11 departure that was looming in the distance.

 

[FUBAR]

Feeling okay wit 151

Still kicking myself for not keeping the Brady/Newton combo, Sproles, and Graham

 

[wollac]

156.85 and done. On to next week.

 

[Mapmaker]

Was Belichick coaching the Saints last night?

I wouldn't be surprised if Saints vs Colts really pumped up the cutline #

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

Somebody take a stab at the cut line and pm me lol. 133.6 should be good, right? Right?

 

[Bad_Mo]

Can this be the week Greg Camarillo shows up (a tiny bit) and helps me move on? 118.75 with Deji Karim yet to play. I know...that sounds odd. Like he will actually help me.

 

[Organized Chaos]

Somebody take a stab at the cut line and pm me lol. 133.6 should be good, right? Right?

Looks like the current cut (not counting the game tonight) is at 105.55

Hmm, probably a lot of Ray Rice, Flacco, BAL Def and maybe MJD owners out there but I'm not sure the cut will move much. At 111.9, I'm feeling a bit better. Hopefully Lee Evans (-6.6)can finally freakin' do something to help out for a change.

 

[kardplayer]

yesterday was why I have a 30 man roster...

Lynch's late scratch and Wells injury = Tate and Stephens-Howling counting.

If Jags D scores less than 6 tonight, the Broncos will score for me, coupled with Stephens-Howling, I'll be at 26 of 30 guys counting at least once. Bradford, D Ward, Royal, and Sheffler only non-scorers.

Thank you.I still have Mike Sims-Walker minus Vincent Jackson's Revis Island performance of 2.5 points. You're pathetic VJax.Things are so bad in Jax that MSW immediately vaults to their new (old) number 1 receiver. I expect 5/50/0, which quadruples VJax's performance, lol.

 

[pocketducks]

Somebody take a stab at the cut line and pm me lol. 133.6 should be good, right? Right?

A score of 133.6 should be good by a mile (well at least in this competition). Last week before the Sunday night game the cutoff was 102 and 109 after a terrible MNF last week the cut was 112.35. This week after the Sunday night game in which the Saints blew up the Colts the current cutoff is 105.55. As long as the JAX vs BAL MNF game tonight isn't too high scoring I think the cutoff will be about 118-121.That being said I knew this week would be tough and I am still sweating bullets at 125.7.

The last I heard Evans had been ruled out for the game.

The cut off won't move past 115, much less sniff 125 if both teams score 50+ tonite.38 teams have Gabbert, 163 MJD, 1283 with Rice, 143 with Flacco, 249 Thomas, 89 Boldin, 18 Lewis, 42 Dickson, 369 Balt DRice is the only guy capable of moving it much. Just a gut feel here, but I think it moves about about .15-.2 pts for each of Rice's first first 10 pts and then .25 pts for his next 10 pts, capping out at .35 pts for each pt he scores over 20 pts.

 

[BroadwayG]

143 with Flacco

Good, so you all won't mind if he puts up oh, a 40 or so?

 

[Gamma1210]

I don't think this week could have been much worse for my RBs: DMac, Wells, Hightower, and McGahee are my top 4. Unless some of these injuries are more minor than expected I don't think I have much time left.

I'll probably be out than. I can easily see the line move 7 points tonight. My guess that if you have 115, you can probably breathe easily.

 

[TheFanatic]

I think I survived despite having Welker, Hernandez and Gronk out this week. Thank you Plaxico.

 

[Bad_Mo]

Man, I never thought I'd be looking forward to Fitzpatrick coming back from his BYE.

Philip Rivers is killing me.

Here's hoping for a close, low scoring game tonight.

 

[texasheat]

at 107.3 I'm likely done :(

Wow...terrible luck right there.With McFadden leaving the game, Bush stepped up and may have done enough to help me advance. You just never really know, I guess.

 

[northwoods]

Am I alone in having a lot of my bargain basement guys carrying the load this week?

No one was great, but got a solid 10-15 points from a lot of guys to make the cut at 140+.

Lost Wells yesterday, so I needed Pierre Thomas($7) to finally show up for me and he did for the first time this season. Hopefully he will get carries next week and into the future. My Hardesty($4) handcuff to Hillis paid off this week and I'll need 1 of those 2 to carry the load going forward to have a chance.

My best WR's this week were A Brown and H Douglas, both cost less than $4.

My bet on SD's passing game hasn't paid off with both Rivers and V jax not in the money again. Thank-you QB2 Mark Sanchez($14) for pulling out a good week when I needed it.

2 of my cheap kickers had good weeks and I would have been happy with either of Suisham's($3) or Mare's($2) 17+ points.

All in, enough points to move on and hoping that my big money players start to step it up.

Week 8 is a bigger bye week for me with Sanchez, Marion Barber, TB Mike Williams and Harry Douglas all off and counting for my scoring this week.

 

[QuizGuy66]

With the appearance of Colt McCoy and his whopping 11 points on my scoring ledger, I've now used 23 out of 27 players on my roster. Santana Moss maintains his streak as counting in every game he's played but of course that's about to end.

The 4 guys that haven't counted yet: Marion Barber, Lee Evans, Evan Moore, Jay Feely. Feely has the randomness of a kicker so he could appear any time. Barber and Moore both have had some passable weeks that just didn't count. Evans is the one true complete bust right now.

Good luck to those sweating the Turk tonight!

-QG

 

[Bad_Mo]

Am I alone in having a lot of my bargain basement guys carrying the load this week?

Not alone at all.My cheap guys may have saved me this week. Guys like Evan Moore, Antonio Brown, Ben Tate, Michael Bush, Jordy Nelson and Greg Camarillo. We'll see how long it lasts if the cut line is low enough to give me additional life.

 

[JoeSteeler]

128.05 + Ray Rice (-9.20). The only players that haven't scored for me (26 man roster) are Deji Karim, Jay Feely and Jordan Shipley.

On to week 8!

I was coming here to post basically the same thing. My RB's are Felix, Beanie, McGahee, Hightower and Pierre. Felix is hurt and will definitely start losing carries to DeMarco, Beanie out 1-2 weeks, Willis with a broken finger that might need surgery, Hightower out for the season.My deepest run ever in 4 years at this contest may be ending soon.

I'm with you. Wells, Hightower and McGahee on my roster.Really, the only good player on my entire roster is Jimmy Graham. I'm not sure how I've made it this far, and I bet I will be out within a couple of weeks.

 

[jdoggydogg]

I've never scored less than 135 points in this contest, and I average around 160 points per game. And yet I still have the worst RB corps in the contest.

Felix Jones

Tim Hightower

Roy Helu

Pierre Thomas

Thomas Jones

Marion Barber

Cadillac Williams

Taiwan Jones

As usual, my monster TE trio is carrying my team.

Fred Davis

Owen Daniels

Aaron Hernandez

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

It looked to me a whole lot of people still in this thing have bye week issues this week and next week, weeks 7 and 8, based on a handful of strong players that I looked up over the course of last few days. This week's cutline is pretty low at probably around 110 - 115 range given today's cutline is 105.5. Next week could be brutal for people with less than 20 players unless the cutline stays low then too, which based on NFL matchups probably isn't likely, I see a number of lopsided matchups like Saints vs. Indy. I have 19, shocked to find myself still in it, and hope to make it past next week.

 

[BassNBrew]

I think the cut line may actually have gone down with a couple of minutes left in the first half.

Turk got sick from watching the game. :X

 

[Das Boot]

MSW!

:championship:

:confetti:

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

I think the cut could go down after tonight

 

[The Man With No Name]

My 3 kickers are going to get me Turked unless the multiple injuries to my players do first.

Highest weekly score is 10, one time.

Average is 7.4

Kicker 1 average is 5.16

Kicker 2 average is 5.16

Kicker 3 average is 5.00

Have used 1 kicker 4 times for 24 points :(

 

[Das Boot]

Tonight's game is so bad, 500 people that got turk'ed last week will be let back in the contest.

 

[Saint]

For the record, 117 teams have Josh Scobee. Should be having a celebration as he probably saved some teams from being turked.

 

[Jojo the circus boy]

123.8

what does getting turked mean?

 

[jimmy b]

123.8

what does getting turked mean?

Who is this Turk? He is the individual assigned by the organization to go to a player's room, knock on his door and utter those dreaded words: "The coach wants to see you--and bring your playbook." In short, the Turk is the NFL version of the Grim Reaper.

Now for the scary week. I'm counting on stafford or gabbert (dear god, let stafford play). My rbs are tate and beanie...

Wr I have dez, vjax, and decker, te/flex jimmy graham, olsen, kendricks....

please let my wr/te combo have great weeks!!!

 

[comfortably numb]

Must say, I am going with a MIN of 3K/3D every year.

I did have 1 low week from my D with 3, but getting an easy 10 from at least 1 of them each week helps a good deal.

[Touchdown There]

Chicken Dinner?

I don't think week 7 will be the only 0 for QB for this team.

Hey, his only two currently starting RBs both have a week 5 bye, with Hunter, Harrison, Karim, LSH and Taiwan Jones to cover for them. As Butch Cassidy would say: "Why worry about swimming in Week 7? The Week 5 fall will probably kill us."

Nope. The cut line was as I expected, very low. 50 points to spare.

Suck on it apalmer.

 

[Deranged Hermit]

Whew, I thought I was dead in the water with 111.9. Thanks to JAX and BAL for stinkin' the joint up last night.

 

[gandalas]

ugg...out with 93.65.

Bad weeks by Rivers, Rice, McFadden, Beanie, and Greg Olsen basically killed me. If even one of them would have played up to their average, I would probably be moving on, but oh well...
