I got stomped this week. Epic fails all around. Only 78 points. Eww.

Primary culprits were my receivers (DeSean Jackson and Amari Cooper), although Luck isn't doing me a ton of favors, either. Defense sucked (dang it, should have grabbed Cincinnati), and Blount was weak, too.

Anyway, wouldn't have mattered regardless, even with my best lineup, I wasn't beating the 143 that got hung on me. :(

Hoping that Dak can keep improving and that Dez gets back soon, or better yet, Romo tears the league up when he returns. Assuming, of course, he returns. ;)

I'm 2-2. 1 loss I could have won if I had started isaiah crowell over lacey. I don't get it. Lacey has a very good yards per rush average but green bay insists on putting starks in to take away carries form him. I have to start dalton over palmer this week and that sucks because the Bengals play the cowboys this week. It's hard to root for your team when you have oposing ff players playing against them that need numbers.

Is Lacy really that good on paper? It's really painful to watch him play if you are ever rooting for the Packers for any reason.

He drafts too high IMO. Never looks very productive and one of the receivers or a Rodgers scramble probably vulture his TDs. From a team perspective, Starks seems to break off bigger or equal chunks of yardage and looks a lot more capable of converting under pressure.

lacy is averaging 5 yards a carry this season, starks is 4.2. neither has any td's, the wr's keep stealing them lol. yeah i think he goes to high also cause he only gets about 15 carries a game for some reason.

They're probably rotating to keep both fresh. I don't know if Lacy's YPC would be quite as high if they rode him harder. Starks is a pretty serviceable change-of-pace from Lacy.

For fantasy purposes, it sucks, though. I've got David Johnson this year, which is awesome, but I've also got Ryan Mathews, who has apparently walked right into a RBBC situation at this point. Doh. I'm not sure I'll be able to start him again this year. I'm having to roll with Blount and the new Bears RB, Howard.

Dang, did they have Fitzgerald and David Johnson? If so, yeah you're screwed.

I should have known not to play John Brown, but I did. Derp.

Still, I obviously had David Johnson going, so that helped a ton.

I got kicked in the nuts by Fitzgerald, too. My opponent had to sub out Palmer and I thought I had dodged a huge bullet until I saw the touchdowns.

Mine is much more salvageable than being down by seventy-ish from a couple of guys though. That's rough.
