You definitely have felt the wrath of the Fantasy Football Gods this season.

I was able to add Stafford of the Rams today.  Bengals will not find a replacement as easy.  As for this week, If Ty Hill has a huge game and others on my team, I could make a run at winning still. If Hill has one of those around 40 point WR days that top WR's have now and then. If anybody could, Hill could, and Tua feeding him the ball. Doing the math, my opponents Jackson put up about 15 more points than my Burrow. So I need rest of my team to cover those 15 points, which is not impossible. Hard, but not impossible.

Bold move. I've never heard of him

Hey, wait a minute. Didn't you already beat me earlier this year?

I owe you Kevin!!!!

Wasn't Me....Wasn't Me....Wasn't Me. 

OK, maybe it was.   However after injuries last year, I had record losing streak rest of season.  I've added Super Bowl ring for Rams Stafford for next week against Arizona.  I have RB Conner back for Arizona.  I added Browns RB on pace for 1,000 yard season replacing Chubb.  I have Hill for Miami, who I have trouble with his first name, so often I just say Ty Hill.  I have 49ers LB that announcers rave about.   So you may beat me this week due to Burrow half a game, but I'm going to do all I can to avoid another record losing streak as I had last season.  I'm not in play-off hunt at this time, but I do not want to lose rest of season as my team did after injuries last season.  I'm not without good players on my team to get some more wins, in spite of Burrow out and Higgins injury season.  As coaches say in Pee Wee Football on up to teams behind, No Quit.

Only 6 teams make the playoffs in our league. It's going to be a competitive fight to see who makes it and who doesn't. If the season ended today, I think I'd be the only team with a winning record not in the playoffs.

F Calvin Ridley! That is all.

I bet you draft him in round 2 next year. If you don't, he'll be a top 5 NFL WR.

Boy do we have a fist fight this week!  AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My switch of players went through waivers. Dropped my #2 pick in draft. Seemed good at the time getting Hill and Higgins as WR's. Even if Higgins gets healthy, it's now Browning and not Burrow. Beckham on the other hand has Jackson and they could get real good together. Switching Higgins for someone else seemed right. Hate to give up on a #2 pick, but without Burrow, had to trade in Higgins.

Burrow out forces another move, dropping Bills Gabe Davis against Eagles, bye week and Chiefs rest of our regular season. Burrow out, so Stafford is best QB that I could get for week 12, but Mayfield and the team he plays in week 13 is needed.

So losing Burrow forces tough choices down the stretch if I'm trying to finish with a winning record at 5-6 now.

You're scrapping and clawing to stay in the race. I commend you for the effort. You won last week and you have a legit shot this week still. 

I just can't seem to get over that 2 games over .500 hump. Every time i get there i'll get a "favorable" matchup and then i'll have a guy or two completely tank that week and drop a game or two then have to climb the ladder all over again. 

I think teeth has some kind of voodoo hex on me or something. There's some sketch stuff happening in that garage of his...

I added a good last week of our regular season defense today, but then had to drop them back in F/A. Turns out Odell Beckham is a game time decision on playing or not injury. If he plays, he does show off in Prime Time, as we saw in Super Bowl. If he doesn't play Sunday Night, I needed a Monday Night WR for a last minute switch with Beckham before Sunday Night game. I really wanted that defense for week 14, but often injured Odell is in question again. I could have just put in Johnson of Steelers against Bengals, but Steelers haven't been throwing to him. IF Beckham plays, he will get the ball because Ravens have injuries and could use him. Turned out I needed a Monday Night back-up if he sits this out. They don't make it easy on us Fantasy League players.

Running into the same stuff. Although, I will admit this week Thanksgiving plans got the best of me and effected my teams.

Ima score about 110 points and still be the team that loses by the most points this week.

So at the end of this weeks games, we could be looking at seven 7-5 teams and one 8-4 team.

Even my backups had great games. “The wolves are hungry, my friends!” says Costanza the Marine Biologist.

I enter MNF losing by .36 points and have my IDP Edwards for the Bears playing. Dude better get me my .37 points tonight!

Houndizzles got me. He Wins and I Lose. I can't have a winning record. At 5-7, I can still shoot for a .500 record of 7-7. Of course I need to win game 6 first and Bob Jones will be the favorite by Yahoo. With Burrow out, not sure to start Stafford or Mayfield, but I saw Cooper Kupp playing which is one good reason to start Stafford again next week. Rams have Stafford, Kupp, Higbee, and look more like that Super Bowl than injured Bengals now. Rams could be tough rest of season. Yahoo will tell me to start Mayfield over Stafford, but that's all computer stat and doesn't take into account Rams are healthy and a tough team again. Of course if Burrow and Higgins hadn't been so injured this year, IF, IF, IF.

Barely pulled out a win this week but even if I win out and go 8-6 I probably still miss the playoffs.

Outside of 2 teams it's been super competitive this season.
