I don't want to add up the points because its not pretty.

With Brady, Delhomme and Anderson as my QBs...I need a ton of help in other areas. Thankfully, I have Vernon Davis, Shockey, Andre Johnson and Tampa Mike, but my RBs also let me down. Mathews, DeAngelo and Foster are killing me.

Here's hoping my kicker and defense pull me through this week.

 

[Road Warriors]

179 with ADP-4.7 and Camarillo-8.1 to go. Moving on to week 6!

 

[Bad_Mo]

Ah, the heck with it. I'll be THAT guy who asks...could someone give me a sense of my score? I imagine one of you guys (Quiz...Doug Drinen....?) has a program with current Week 5 scores of all players updated through today...no?

ETA: I just realized that the pre-MNF sim has me at 130 as a MAX and MIN. Since I have no one else going tonight, I guess I can assume I'm done with 130....unless, of course, there is some crazy scoring by guys who are not owned alot...?

The "Pre_MNF" sim gives you an indication of your current score and your odds at making the cut.

Pre-MNF sim. The cut will almost certainly be in the mid-to-high 120s.

Missing a lot of guys who weren't in last year's contest (Williams, Foster....)

Damn! Just checked my score for fun. #18 overall with 226. Guess I'm moving on...

Fantasy star did not update with this year players. You'll find no rookies on the list. It's not a bad starting place, but you'll have to manually calculate your rookies.

 

[QuizGuy66]

He's not there. Arian Foster isn't there either.

Basically guys who are new to the contest this year, such as Williams and Foster are not on there. OC didn't have the time/energy to be able to do full tracking like he has done in previous years ( to him for that) but still has last year's system in place to automatically scoop up the scores for guys who already are on the system. to OC for leaving it live -QG

Anderson over Vick was a huge mistake. And Vince Young has been mediocre considering was seriously considering Orton at the same price. Still, Rivers was a guy that remained on every single team I submitted - and that must have been 200 times. Rivers was a steal at $19 and I was surprised he came that cheap.

This is my worst platoon of all time in the years I've been in this contest. Horrible. My only hope is that the Bills start giving Spiller more work.

Santana Moss

Pierre Garcon

Nate Burleson

Jacoby Jones

Legedu Naanee

Louis Murphy

Deion Branch

Not many regrets here. Garcon has been terrible for $12, but I think he'll be decent enough to score for me in a few more contests.

Thrilled with this group, naturally.

Jeff Reed

Never had four kickers before, but I am now a fan of this strategy. I've never scored less than 14 points at the K position in this contest so far thanks to this platoon.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

San Francisco 49ers

New York Giants

Seattle Seahawks

Nothing spectacular here. But like my K platoon, this unit is doing pretty well for me.

[jabarony]

0.8 % chance. 30 man roster. 4 QBs aren't enough, apparently. Too bad, I love this contest. My team wouldn't have won it all, but I was sure I'd have a deeper run than this.

Drinen's last post has the Turkomatic estimates with the sim.Tolbert came in at 10.5 - I think. I can't totally remember.-QG

 

[Northbound Train]

Ahhhh...mid to high 120's I see

Looks like I'm in the mid 150's and going to escape my week with NO QB

 

[Bruce Leroy]

I believe Tolbert scored 9.5 points this week

12 carries 11 yards (1 TD)

2 receptions 24 yds

1 lost fumble

 

[CrossEyed]

Woohoo, made it through Ben's suspension and bye with only Matt Ryan at QB.

But with Finley and Lee both hurt and Gresham on bye I have to survive next week with no TEs.

[seatownfavorite]

149 with no QB and no Monday nighters. I'll take my chances with that

ETA Derek Anderson actually scored 0.30 for me so I did have a QB.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Woohoo, made it through Ben's suspension and bye with only Matt Ryan at QB. But with Finley and Lee both hurt and Gresham on bye I have to survive next week with no TEs.

Went Rivers/Big Ben and that has worked out so far very nicely. I also am goign to be without Finley for 4-6 weeks and who knows what type of condition he will be in later in the season. I have Todd Heap...this is gonna be rough.

On board with ya. Made it through with Schuab, DA, Vick and Big Ben. Made a decision to leave lord Finley off my rooster. He was way over hyped on the message boards and a week 10 bye clinched it. Chose to zag here.

I was scared off by Rivers Week 10 bye week and the absence of Vincent Jackson. Jackson hasn't been missed but the cuts are a lot tougher in Week 10 then they are in Week 5. I'm surviving with a Schaub/Flacco combo and next week Big Ben gets added to the mix.

I'm a big believer in Jackson, but Rivers is an elite fantasy QB throwing to the best TE in football. That was enough. Yeah, the week 10 bye is rough. I need Vince Young to step up vs. the Dolphins that week.
