All it takes is for the Bengals offense to have a bad game, and you basically have no chance to win.. I have both Dalton and Green, and started both weeks 1-2. I won because AJ killed it week one, and I had Deangelo Williams, and Matt Forte. Yeah it's tough to watch games and be ok with opposing players doing  well against the Bengals... But they're gonna do what they do regardless... Week 3, I benched Dalton for Phillip Rivers because I hated Andy's matchup. Rivers wasn't much better, but it worked ok. You gotta do stuff like that and leave your heart out of it.

Being my first time at this, I thought the draft was strange.  It would give a list of names and with each pick add a new name to the list. Often none of the names were who I wanted. If there was a different draft screen to go to, I do not know. Once it started it went fast and I was on this screen of what they considered top players, like a Mel Kiper board thing....Often I did not get to pick  from my top players lists .....My first pick was Russell Wilson and my second pick could have been AJ Green but I took Brandon Marshall because he did have a great stat year last year. So far both have been banged up and somewhat injured.   Of the picks options I took Larry Fitzgerald third and it gave defense in teams to my surprise and threw Seattle out there first.  Had Denver been on the board I would have probably grabbed them. .....Around here the only good RBs on the board were Hill and Bernard.  I didn't really want the Bengals RBs, but everybody was picking RBs as I was trying to get a top QB and top WRs.    I was never happy with the TE's on this Mel Kiper like draft board.  I thought Tucker was a good kicker to get. .................Dalton was suppose to be my back-up QB.  Wilson is so banged up though.........I've tried to upgrade at RB but it's hard because teams are hoarding all the RBs. ..........I did upgrade at TE adding Baltimore and Atlanta TE. .....I do not mind Hill and Bernard because one of them can have a big day, but which one.  I think over the season they will both put up points.

So I really didn't set out to have a team of Bengals.  Dalton was suppose to be a back-up.  He is out playing Wilson so far because Wilson so injured.  Injuries to my top non Bengals picks are killing me.  Wilson and Marshall all messed up.  I'm going to hit the free agents again early Wednesday when that opens.  I'm going to try to adjust each week from that Mel Kiper draft list thing I was forced to draft from.  I will have to build the team I really want in free agency. I picked up 2 RBs gaining yards last week, but one got injured in practice and another got benched even though he was playing great. Injuries and keeping up with these coaches also. These coaches bench good players on a bet or a hunch. At least Hill and Bernard are going to get carries or catches over the season......Of my 3 Baseball teams, all 3 were near play-offs, One is playing this week against a team to win for the whole season. I built those teams up in free agency. I guess I'll have to work the free agency and waiver wire hard in this also. I really wouldn't mind Lavell or Boyd if one really steps up. Bengals ARE going to have to find a guy to make catches besides Green. Boyd could be a sleeper as a free agent if he comes on. If a team drops a good player in free agency, that's when I will really swoop in like in baseball.

I have to get a win this week, I don't want to start 0-3.....my league started a week late even though we drafted before start of season, no wait, it was after that opening Thursday game on Friday, that's what happened. My first time at this and the draft list was kind of strange, not showing all the players. I am going to bounce back and get my share of wins. I see the people that drafted Gronk at TE are watching him injured.. Keeping up with injuries and these coaches is next to impossible.
