Yeah, I feel for ya. I've got Howard, and I thought he was locked in. Looks like not so much. And Mathews with their four-headed monster, it's just not a good situation.

I do fortunately have David Johnson, and he's about the only thing that's kept me afloat several weeks. Well, he and an overachieving LeGarrette Blount. My WR corps is looking pretty inconsistent, with John Brown having issues, and Palmer just being terrible this year (or just out). Julius Thomas has been a disappointment, too, and I can't trust DeSean Jackson at all, either. I sure hope that Amari Cooper can get some sort of consistency, and that Dez will be good when he gets back this week.

I lost by two points this last week, and ironically my opponent is hurting like you, since he had C.J. Anderson. Sitting at 4-3 for the year, and projected to only pick up one more win. I snagged the Redskins RB Chris Thompson, since he should see some passing action and I'm in a 0.5-PPR league. Wondering if I should use him as my FLEX or not. :(

While were singing the fantasy blues...

I couldn't make heads or tails of who to start on the running game for Buffalo, so I started them both hoping to net around 15-ish points. Got 3 between Gillislee and McCoy. Benched Forte and he went off like a mad man. :roll:

And while we're talking about CJ Anderson, my opponent this week grabbed Booker off of waviers. :?

I have 6 guys on questionable injury status and my reign at the top is becoming short-lived. The RB situation is just crazy luck for everyone this year.

wow, my opponent had bortles, hurd, and robinson last night. 1st half the jags shutdown, down by 24 or whatever. they had like 6 points between the 3. next half the titans decide to play prevent the whole half and the jags do the hurry up thing, pass every down. so in a blow out i'm down 60 because the jags suck and have to throw 3/4 the game. man, box scores do not tell the tale of a game i swear.

That dude's a Jags fan or certifiably insane. It's pretty hardcore to put that many of them in your lineup considering their recent fantasy showings. What's his record going into this week?

5-2. i can see it though. robinson is a stud and bortles did throw for like 4500 last year. and with them playing from behind like every game, they are going to air it out. hurd makes a good wr2 also. luck of the draw i guess. that's one thing you can count on. if the player you have at wideout is on a suck ass team, they will get targets. in years past fitzpatrick was gold because of that reason.

I think I'm finished with the NFL for the year, it's just not a fun product to watch. Too many flag-happy refs, too many bad head coaches, too many bad o-lines that can't run block or protect the QB. It's a slog getting through games.

I've been like that for a while now. I check box scores, and keep an eye on fantasy since I'm in a league, but I rarely sit down to watch games. About the only team I'm keeping any track of this year is Dallas, since they have Dak. He was tremendously respected here in Starkville.

Dak was awesome today. Rough week last week but came through in the clutch. I don't get the hate. There is parity throughout the league and any team can win any given sunday. You've had like 3 overtime game the last 3 weeks in primetime, tight division races. New stars emerging. Whats not to like?
