Mother Pfeffer. Decide to play Carr over Roethlisberger. carr plays decent but no TDs. Now trailing by 6 with Michael to go...but he has two IDP players. Had I started Roethlisberger, I am +8 and have a fighting chance. Here's hoping Michael plays for his job tomorrow night.

Bragging:
2-0 between my two leagues.
d/ST league, i was 2-5 before last week's game. Thought I was over. Last week I won while all teams in contention for the WC lost. This week while I crushed my opponent, all those same teams lost. Now in a 5-way tie for WC at 4-5, and they are my next 5 opponents. Season resurrected!! I'm in control of my destiny, no less!
IDP league, with David Johnson on the BYE, my team scored 311 points, the most of the season, or any season. My opponent only scored 160. In this league we have in-season prizes for highest single game score ($50) and biggest beatdown ($50) so this may well have been a $100 week 9 win. 300+ is incredibly rare. A really good week is 230 in this format. Bonus: I picked the correct 4 of 5 Saints to play, with. Brees (no brainer), Ingram & Hightower, and Thomas.

If someone would have told me that a team that started with cam, gurley, beckham and Antonio brown, that drafted a top ten RB in Blount in the 10th round, and that everyone stayed healthy,.....would have the worst record in the league.....ugh.

Had to choose between Booker and Latavius.
I chose quite unwisely, as it turns out.
The only pro is that I banged my head against the wall so hard that I may well have a concussion and could likely be unconscious during Election Day.

Just got Jimmy Grahamed tonight. I hate that guy. They said on TV that Graham has 13 games of 2+ TDs......seems like he has those games whenever I play against him.

My opponent used his waivers then realized he was short a DB. Commish allowed him to use an extra waiver so he could field a full lineup. That waiver player scored 6 and I lost by 5. Funny, because no way would I ever consider to ask for or even be allowed to use an "extra" waiver when our rules state 3 max per week. I guess in this new socialist world we need to make sure the playing field is even.

All I needed was 4 stinking points from Michael in a PPR. While his TD helped me they had the entire second half to feed him but nothing zip zilch!

Some monday night fireworks for my league. I was up by 20 with Wilson/P.Brown/B.Wagner vs TyRod/JimmyG/McCoy and lost 207.6-205.45. Same league we play dual match ups; I was down 30 going vs Hauschka/KJ Wright and lost 210.29-205.45. KJ got a questionable sack (5 pt play) with 40 seconds left and SEA stat crew does not award solo tackles; only assisted. To put it in perspective the other 7 teams in my league put up points in the range of 110-170. So i went up against 2 of the highest scores. Bah.

Went to bed as I knew it would be late. Thought I had it made. Never lost like this in all my years playing FF. Team at home up by two scores but they did not try to run? Next week David Johnson gets a date w SF so no more scrub RB
Maybe I'm missing something, but in what league does a TD not net you four points?

I've found in fantasy football like most of the real world absolutely Nobody takes accountability for their action or inaction. Most Commissioners are too happy to help bend or even break the rules to help out an offending owner.

I think you misunderstood my original post where I mentioned "although he scored a TD" I still needed 4 more points from him. No, I have never played in a league where a RB gets 4 pts for a TD. Essentially I needed at least 10 points from him. He covered 6 with a TD and nothing more.

Currently 4-5, probably on my way to 4-6 in a 12-team auction keeper where I have Luck, Bell, DJ, Howard, AJ Green and TY Hilton.
- Started out 4-3 mainly due to a couple of schedule flukes where opponents blew up for 1 week
- Stupidly dropped Latavius Murray while he was hurt because it was going to be a full blown RBBC by the time he got back
- Lost week 8 with Bell on bye because I didn't start Howard against the Vikes after he did nothing in week 7
- Week 9 hit me hard with DJ/Howard/AJG on bye, plus it's a superflex where Alex Smith
was my QB2. I dropped Smith for Foles week 9 but couldn't scratch out a win
- This week, Luck is on bye, and Foles is back to the bench. WW was really thin for QBs so I was forced to go with Case Keenum
and...Cody Kessler :X

Nearly every year in our PPR,. I go WR-WR-WR to start the draft and am always scramblng for RB's.. This year I had the #1 pick and decided to try a different approach. I went Antonio - CJ Anderson - Lacy. That worked out well....I suck

In the hour before kickoff, decided to sit Davante Adams for Travis Kelce in the flex. Never, ever, EVER make lineup changes at the last minute. Rarely ever works out. Now praying I can make up for the decision with big days from Eli, David Johnson and Gordon.

After the noon games was losing 65 to 9. Worse yet that 9 included a WR and both RBs. Somehow, I am now up 76 to 75.5. Here's hoping my Graham, Burfict, and Vernon can hold off a late charge from JPP and Landon Collins tomorrow. If I win this one, it will be complete luck as I should have been destroyed.

Wasn't accounting for a monster game by Blount. Down 25+ with more time to go. I need a Seattle DST score and Eli and Eifert to go tomorrow. Something tells me this decision to sit Adams is going to cost me a close win.

Are you effing kidding me with Baldwin? Graham not getting a sniff inside the red zone tonight.

Up 20 going into Seattle/New England with Gronk going against Blount in non ppr. Didn't think I could possibly lose. Awesome

I went to sleep last night with a comfortable lead, thinking Hauschka would need to kick 7+ field goals for my opponent to win. Well, Yahoo must have been trolling me because for a few hours this morning they were incorrectly crediting him with 8 field goals. They've corrected the problem already.

I was up 25, had Gronk, and was playing against Graham and Baldwin. Thanks a lot NE D for crapping the bed and letting Baldwin score not once, not twice, but 3 F'n times! Was outscored 37-8 and lost by 4.
Pretty much ends my season in that league.
