September 6, 201213 yr Predictably, my backup QB scored 31 points last night. Here's hoping my starter will score some points before he leaves in 1st quarter with an injury.
September 9, 201213 yr deepak, thanks for starting Stafford instead of Ryan I don't think I could ever start Ryan over Stafford, unless Stafford went back into injury mode.
September 9, 201213 yr Good ol David Akers doing me good again (63 yd fieldgoal ) 9ers need to give him playmaker salary
September 9, 201213 yr Yeah, I'm not too upset by Akers. This PPR is really changing the scoring system. RBs don't seem to be nearly as valuable as before unless they can catch the ball as well.
September 10, 201213 yr I can't believe how blase the anncrs were about the Akers kick. They didn't even acknowledge he tied the record until well after he hit it.
September 10, 201213 yr So, week 1. Matt Forte looked good, though he is definitely going to be limited by Michael Bush. Sonofabitch. The Julio Jones/Brandon Marshall combo in our 8 team league was pretty fun. Holy fuck starting the Bills D/ST is the absolute worst call I've ever made in 3 years of fantasy football. Matthew Stafford throwing three picks against an utterly horrid team was pretty terrifying. Aaron Hernandez should probably be my flex play next week in the 10 team league, I messed up by not having him in this week even though Nate Washington was okay. So some good, some bad. Can the Bengals help me beat Haj tonight? I'm not counting on it but you never know.
September 10, 201213 yr Is it bad when the RB on your bench scores more than the 2 that you started (combined) Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
September 10, 201213 yr Is it bad when the RB on your bench scores more than the 2 that you started (combined) Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Same here, in the league 1. At least I still have a shot at winning. So some good, some bad. Can the Bengals help me beat Haj tonight? I'm not counting on it but you never know. I think it largely depends on whether The Law Firm gets the goal line carries or not. With PPR in place, Green will get his points.

On any other team he would be a super well known TE. anyone picking up RG III in first week waver?
September 11, 201213 yr I think it largely depends on whether The Law Firm gets the goal line carries or not. With PPR in place, Green will get his points. Barely got there. After not netting a single point in the 3rd quarter, I was sure I was going to lose by 2. Oh and I really hope McFadden continues to net 13 catches a game.
September 11, 201213 yr This PPR scoring is screwing with my head. McFadden gets 21 points without a TD. Foster gets 26 rushes and 2 touchdowns and get only 20 points... I need to rethink the whole game. Why is the Def scoring different in the two leagues? I think I may have asked this last year.
September 11, 201213 yr Shelly, I'm kind of with you. I didn't hear about the PPR thing till during the draft and still didn't really understand what impact it was going to have on scoring. I just didn't have time to follow this thread closely leading up to the draft unfortunately.
September 11, 201213 yr Who's the jerk that suggested PPR? Lets roast him I do think it makes things more balanced and not super running back heavy (at least the ones that mostly play fullback). It rewards more receivers instead of just the stand out top 10/15/whatever.
September 14, 201213 yr Dangit I was going to replace Jennings but my work computer was being upgraded, then I got distracted and forgot about it until it was too late.
September 16, 201213 yr minding my p's & q's...& sometimes d's... the injured reserve slot might as well not exist...you have to be nearing death to get on it...
September 16, 201213 yr minding my p's & q's...& sometimes d's... the injured reserve slot might as well not exist...you have to be nearing death to get on it... The player just needs to be designated "out" by his team. It's hardly the league system's fault that no NFL team like to give out accurate injury information.
September 16, 201213 yr wasn't blaming the system...I agree that it's both the team's fault & frustrating... Edited September 16, 201213 yr by emelius
September 16, 201213 yr Dangit I was going to replace Jennings but my work computer was being upgraded, then I got distracted and forgot about it until it was too late. ya actually started two players who didn't play:)... but you still kept it somewhat close...
