We're too busy hoarding all the RBs so Ayl can have none (plus the Seahawks show a tendency to let big time TEs run wild on them, there's a sniff of fool's gold there ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) I almost picked Gates up but once bitten, twice shy (had him last year when he had a hot September then died after). I suppose there is a chance the field's opened up more for Gates with the emergence of Allen and the return of Floyd though. OTOH I don't think they'll totally forget about Green later in the season either. Edited September 16, 2014 by NJDevs4978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other option at WR was Cordarrelle Patterson; that one I regret. The target with that pick was Wes Welker; so I had only a 1/4 shot of having impact there with my selection - for now (Stafford).

Not if Leveon Bell keeps going off I really wanted not to have to worry about anything tomorrow except the Jets which is angst-inducing enough. I don't really trust CJ to get more than a handful of points after last week (I was only playing him cause Foster was out), so it kind of needs to be close at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaLaFlamme Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'm glad to see my team finally show up. It sucks I have no Peterson for probably the year so im going ot be struggling for an RB2 every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Well at least I still have enough of a cushion barring TWO fumbles (and no I'm not going to bench CJ, points matter in tiebreakers and if I'm afraid of a two fumble, zero yard game then I need to see the wizard ) Thank goodness it was fat Lagarette running wild in the fourth quarter though Edited September 22, 2014 by NJDevs4978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF?? and how the hell to 2 QBs in 3 weeks go for 40+ against me?? I'll bet it does not happen another 2 times all year long! Man do I need some good karma!!

NJDevs4978 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) You used up a good chunk of karma magically getting Gordon available for the stretch run this season I was first in points last year and finished with a losing record, **** happens I'm actually surprised most scores have been so low to this point, I guess that's what happens when most of the big QB's/RB's struggle/are hurt/have legal issues. Luck or no Luck I'm quite pleased I was able to still get a high total this week without Foster/Roddy.

NJDevs4978 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 lol you've gotta be kidding me...THREE defensive TD's for the Eagles. I want some of what VALUE's smoking, cause nobody else would have pegged them as a streamer D for the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) I'd be feeling pretty confident if it wasn't for the last Romo TD (I'm still in a better spot than I thought I'd be the last few hours though) As it is the result in all three of my leagues is hanging on tomorrow night's game, though the other two leagues I'm in a better position (one league I need Alex Smith to get just over eight points, another league I need Chandler Jones to come in at under 8 points). Here I need Ridley to come in at under 16.34 points...which he could get if the Pats get out front and he gets 105+TD or 45+2TD's.

aylbert Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I would like very much to steal this victory... give me crap all you want about my QBs and depth; I'll find ways to stay in it and win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylbert Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Even in a vacuum (which is the wrong way to evaluate draft-day trades) it's way too early to tell. Will Rodgers play 16 games this year? Will Kelvin Benjamin ever not get double-teamed? Will Welker do enough for 12 games to justify a 4th round draft position (and remember, he wasn't missing 4 games for suspension eons ago when this pick was made)? Will either the Packers D or Fleener show up? How long will it take for Golden Tate to adjust to a game-time situation in Detroit? Talk to me in week 4-6 and we'll see how "even" the trade was. Benjamin is doing just fine... Tate has no TD's, but getting the yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSC Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 I am beyond frustrated with my team right now. The only players that produced this week are Donnell and the Dolphins defense. Foles was atrocious. I know he'll put up more than 1.9 points in the future, but that offensive line is abysmal. Can't pass block or run block. Brandon Marshall and Andre Johnson both seem hampered by their ankle injuries, and don't even get me started on the curse I have going on at running back right now. Ugh. On the bright side, barring a 20 point game from Edelman tonight I'll eek out a victory, so could be worse than being 2-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
