So far this season, Lesean McCoy is the worst 1st round pick I've ever had.
All the top three preseason RBs haven't panned out so well. I've got AP just sitting on the bench. Thankfully, I've had other players step up in a big way. This week will be my first loss.

I thought I was fucked when Demarco Murray was my best RB but he has been absolutely murdering so far this year. Fucking fantasy man. I am definitely fucked if he gets injured though. I'll be starting Joique Bell and Carlos Hyde.

Yup, I am right there with you. I think Murray was actually my very first pick, and I was super nervous about it. Dude is paying off big time

Ya'll Wakandans dumb if you were worried about Murray. I was happy as fuck to get him early. He's been a fucking savage for years any time they gave him the ball, they just never gave him the ball. But it was all pretty obviously lining up to him getting a real workload this year with Romo's back issues and Witten being in his early 70's. Plus critical mass from fans and media to run the fucking ball there.

Though to be fair I did kind of come around to all this like the day before my draft. I wasn't gonna get one of the big 4 guys with my draft position so I had to think deeper and he just made sense. Guy right before me got Leveon Bell or it probably would have been him(HOME TEAM BIAS) even though I was terrified of the Steelers o-line.

I bolded the part I was worried about. I know Murray is good, and that is why I picked him. I also know the Cowboys are fucking retarded and insist on having Romo throw all game, and not have Murray run enough.

And in the next sentence I mention how it was clear that was changing.

And in the next paragraph I temper that by pointing out I wasn't so confident until right before my draft.

Being a fantasy football expert is easier if you just take every side of an argument. I should be on ESPN.

Down by 2.5 points to the #1 team in the league. I have Brady left and he has Amendola. Any other year I'd feel saf e with Brady, but I have a bad feeling about tonight.

Lacy vs Min @ Home on Thursday or Ellington @Denver coming off of a bye week?
I hate Thursday guys, but I'd lean Lacy a little bit. He just seems more likely to get in the endzone.

I got offered Andy Dalton for Jamaal Charles before last night's game. In our weird 2 QB league I have Cam Newton as my 2nd QB, and he seems like he's just gonna struggle all year playing hurt. I've got Demarco and Giovanni as my starting RBs so far, but I'm pretty happy to have Charles in the flex now. Thinking I'll try to talk him in to taking Frank Gore.

Hope you played Jamaal last night, he's back baby! He looked so fast and shifty.

Yeah, you can't trade him for a teir-2 QB after that performance.

Now would be a good time to try and get a return for Gore. I have my doubts that the 49ers are going to be able to get as much production out of him as they did this last week, but it sure does put his stock higher for at least a short period.

Is this a 4 team league? How the fuck do you have all those top starting RBs?

Also trading Victor Cruz for Arian Foster, good idea? I'm pretty desperate for an RB2

Is it worth picking Roddy White up off waiver? I would most likely be dropping V Jackson or Sproles. Leaning towards picking up White.

I have both Sproles and V-Jax and I think Jackson could be considered worse than White at this point. Jackson has been saved in two consecutive weeks by last drive TDs. You can't rely on that week in and week out. I think Sproles will be fine. Something's up with McCoy and I can see them using Sproles more as the season goes on.



Grimm is in a weird league with not many teams and two starting QBs. Leads to odd rosters.

2 QB, 8 teams, 6pt passing touchdowns. It's weird but it's by far my favorite league I've been in. Lot of fun. I noticed today that I had a picture of our draft board on my phone, so you can see how it went.

I went 4th. My brother, who was completely shithammered, went 8th. He actually meant to grab McCoy and Peterson but forgot. I got Charles and Palmer from him for Kirk Cousins and Pierre Thomas before week 3 when Carson Palmer went down and Romo was questionable. He was desperate. There's no family in Fantasy Football!

He has vowed to draft semi-sober next season.

I have Brady in a 14 man league. Sucks b/c there isn't much out there. I'm just hoping they turn it around.
