PPR: got golden Tate for crabby and sproles. Thank Christ. A legit second WR. Only took 11 weeks.

Well, Ben Tate opened his mouth about not liking his playing time with the other two RB's and promptly got cut.
Reemployed.

I looked into our FF league stats this morning and its funny how lucky you really gotta be to win, for example:

- I'm the second highest scoring team in the league and only 2 points away from being the highest, yet my record is 6-5. I've outscored my opponents by 134 points.

- While being in the middle of the pack in scoring, Leisher has the lowest points against him (stout defense!). The next closest opponent is 30 points away from having the lowest score against. Hence the 8-3 record.

- One guy in our league has scored only three total points less than Leisher, but the poor bastard has had almost 200 more points scored against him than Leisher has! His record is 3-8

Still I have a chance to win my division, huge game against the division leader this weekend. And if I do make the playoffs..

I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU LEISHER!! BRING IT!!

I already beat you three weeks ago without Bernard and Gronk. Plus, I had Brees on the road! I ain't scart!

FF takes knowledge and a good strategy during the draft. You have to know exactly what type of team you're building. It also takes a lot of research and experience to make solid educated guesses about who is worth grabbing off the waiver wire and who to start each week.

After that, it's all luck.

If you go back and look, I was sitting at 5-1 and was the lowest scoring team in the league, and then went on a scoring spree. I got beat this week by 3 points and had Sanders not gotten hurt I probably would have won. Or if I had listened to my gut and grabbed Gray instead of Williams.

That would have clinched me the division, a first round bye, and at least a tie for best regular season record.

Now I've got to fight for all that. Although, I'm 90% sure I've clinched a playoff berth.

Oh, you mean the week I had 4 starters on a bye including the top scorer in the NFL and two starting receivers? That week you tried to cock block me from getting a QB all while I was still under the assumption that we were paying for transactions? :p

That's just fantasy skill. U mad bro?

I don't think there's a wrong answer to that question.

KC's D against Oakland?

This. The Indy D is less sure than KC. Indy's offense is now a one-trick passing pony, as opposed to Oakland's offense. That'd be a zero-trick pony.


Just saying what everyone's thinking.

I'm not a Cleveland fan, but fuck Ben Tate. The guy is clearly a cancer and every GM in the NFL knows it now.

Career backups should never shoot their mouths off.

Passing the Blount. Almost wanted the Vikings to get him, too.

Holy shit. The Broncos are held to single digits by the Rams. The Chiefs, who throttled the Rams, are taken down by Oakland for their first win. What's the next impossible upset that happens?
