think i'm going to get very lucky this week. although behind 77 points he ended up having 3 ruled out including cam newton. he cant sub cause 5 players are on byes and he can't just drop somebody and pickup because the bye players are to good to drop for one week so im projected 125 to his 100 lol.

After an awful week, I managed to put up almost 135 points. Hoping I can ride this out the rest of the way.

I have my own budding quarterback controversy, though: Luck vs. Carr. Other than the first week, Carr has outscored Luck, although not by a huge margin.

i won by 10 this week. was harder than it should have been, had a few shit the bed this week. luckily dalton got me some garbage time points. funny how that worked out being a cowboys fan. when they we up 28 on the bengals i was rooting for dalton to start airing it out for a few td's cause i needed the points big time lol.

There isn't much of a difference between those guys to have a real definitive up or down answer. I'd compare it by each week's match up. Personally, I like Carr better than Luck for the stability factor. The way Luck takes hits, he runs a high risk of being knocked out in the first quarter of any game - and that's no bueno when you're expecting 20+ points from a QB just to watch them go down that early.

T'was a good week for me. My opponent ran out of gas early. I had it wrapped up before I needed points from the Packers DST or Kelvin Benjamin. Brady and (surprisingly) Vinatieri lead the way as I routed him by nearly 50 points.

Sitting tied at the top of the league at 4-1. This week, I play against the other guy that's tied with me so there will be a definitive leader at the end. Should be interesting.

My biggest concerns are the Seahawks DST running against Atlanta (to which I don't see a reasonable alternative) and just Matt Forte in general. His touches and production are being leeched by Bilal Powell on top of the fact that the Jets are a mess. Because of my record, the good back up RB options get scooped before my turn. My only realistic replacement is TJ Yeldon right now - but it seems like a coin toss between him and Forte at this point.

my biggest concern is which qb to stick with. like a dumbass i drafted palmer and dalton with the same bye week. luckily its week 9 but so far neither has yet to take off making my decision on who to drop easier. the best waiver wire pickup was tyrod taylor that i picked up but just released to pickup a defense. the vikings d has been to good to just interchange like i usually do.

You're probably doing the right thing. There's plenty of time to see what develops when everyone else is streaming. Tyrod is a turd for now and there's no reason to pull the trigger today.

Everyone was down on Wilson in my league. I figured he had way too much upside to let him sit there, so he got put on my bench while Seattle was on a bye. I can watch what happens to him while Brady runs the show. Pretty happy about my QB situation (for now). :D

Wilson gets underrated outside of Washington, where everyone in my league ran up the price on him to like $40 or something crazy. That's a killer combo though in my opinion. Obviously last week your choice was made for you with Wilson sitting for the bye, but this week it is Brady vs. CIN and Wilson vs. ATL. I'd almost be tempted to go with Wilson, I think that Atlanta defense isn't as good as Cincinnati's, but either way you probably got a ton of points!

It's crossed my mind to start Wilson this week. Atlanta allows a ton of QB fantasy points but I can also afford to watch what unfolds with Wilson's recent injuries off the bye week.

On the other side of the equation, Cincy isn't what they used to be on the defensive front. I may be chasing points from last week but Dallas spanked them like a four year old in a K-Mart and I believe that New England has the potential to rip them up worse than the Cowboys.

Oh, yeah, I wouldn't trust Cincy at all this week. I'm starting Pittsburgh at Miami instead.
