Well my team is awful.
Where did It all go wrong?
- Drafting Jimmy Graham (I knew it was a mistake as soon as I made the pick.)
- Drafting Andre Elliington
- Relying on Matthew Stafford
- Rex Ryan running McCoy into the ground.
My plan was to take a QB late I had my eye on Rivers, Ryan and Stafford I thought they would do better then expected. I relied on Stafford a lot to have a great season which sounds crazy looking back on it. I thought Calvin Johnson would rebound, they finally had a respectable defense and Ebron was going to step up. What I didn't account for was Jim Caldwell.
If Rex Ryan and the Bills didn't decide to give McCoy the green light before he fully recovered he wouldn't have been playing injured and miss as many games as he did. Karlos Williams was healthy so the team was in good hands.
Either way you slice it it was not a good year for me. If anyone has anything else to add feel free.

My team took a nose dive, when Ben R. went down. Not only did it take away huge points from QB, but neither of the back ups use Bryant, the way Ben does. So, been basically down my two biggest production players for a few weeks. I feel your pain.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

The smartest and best poster just so happens to have the best fantasy team as well? Go figure.

It's definitely looking decent for me, but the Charles injury may be hard to overcome. I don't know that I'd call it the best team though. You and Toast look like you have that locked up for now.

I'd have to look at your roster, but I'm sure you can overcome that somehow. Did you pick up Knile Davis or Charcandrick West?

I need Rivers to throw for another 10,000 yards today.

What time do teams announce if a player is starting or sitting?
Nevermind, I forgot that the Jax/Buf game is already on. Looks like I'm going with Bortles again...

How/when do we choose our keepers?
So basically we pick 2 players on our team to keep for next year and the rest go back into the draft? Never done a keeper league before.

I was lucky enough to feel the wrath of Rothlisberger right before he got injured. :snark:

No. I thought about Davis, but I got burned with him on my team a couple of years ago. It's made me not expect much of him. I ended up picking up James Starks to fill the hole.
My RBs are now:
Justin Forsett
Melvin Gordon
James Starks
Bishop Sankey
It's rough out here.

Not anymore. Danny Woodhead went off in garbage time and gave me 33 points. I got my first win.

It was looking ***** great until today. Fortunately for me, I still have Forte, Gio and Duke Johnson.
My biggest problem is QB. Peyton Manning is toast. (Pun intended)

Well my game with toast/Wes lived up to the billing. I lost 157-161. I managed to post that score without Randall Cobb, Gates or Broncos DST (top DST in fantasy). Wes was without Forte, Peyton and one of his top WR's I believe.
Congrats man. I think we'll be going back and forth the rest of the season.
