No wonder he's undefeated, he's not tied down having to start the rest of Cleveland's shitty team.

Yeah, you probably would, but in typical Browns fashion, you'd end up blowing yourself up, and I'd win the holy war for the 7th time...

Also, get on our league page. Check the messages.

Nah.. i just don't draft bum ass scrubs like David Wilson and then pin my hopes on someone like Danny Woodhead.

I took Cameron real late and he's been an unexpected surprise. I've got good talent on my bench yet. i haven't even looked for a transaction yet.

Woodhead's legit for PPR. Standard, not so much.

No, but you let Peyton go by twice.

And who wouldn't draft the starting RB for a playoff team, and Super Bowl contender?

You got lucky getting LeSean McCoy. He's the shit. I had him last year, and really wanted to draft him, but took Lynch instead. I think you got LeSean a few picks later. That worked out for both of us, but had I taken Wilson, whom I got in the third round, instead of Lynch I'd hang myself.

LeSean has been on fire this season. I was writing the Eagles off as sputtering nothingness for offense this year, too. Peyton is setting an ungodly pace.

LeSean's only danger is Michael Vick. Vick's passing numbers have been steadily declining. That means defenses won't have to respect the pass as strongly.

i got McCoy in the second round. I was the 11th pick so he was the 14th overall pick.

I did pass on a qb in my first two picks, but i got two running backs that don't share any time. Sure the league isn't a RB league anymore but this is fantasy football and you've gotta start 2 of them every week. So maybe i passed on Payton, but i'm not scrambling for another RB right now cause everyone else is splitting time, thats huge!

Until one or both of your guys gets hurt.

I love McCoy, I think he's the best player on your team, but I'm not sold on Trent. Based on how you feel about the trade, neither are you :D

Trent will do ok in Indy. I'm just not sure he's the Edge, Jr. that Indy seems to be looking for. He's not platooning, though, and Ahmad might need season-ending surgery.

im not totally sold on Trent as a franchise 3rd overall pick. If you take a RB that high he should be a breakaway threat everytime he touches the ball. He's no AP thats for sure.

But as a fantasy RB and my number 2 RB at that, im fine with it. He will be ok for getting consistent points each week.

As far as injuries go, well every team deals with that. My only solace in that is i've got Bryce Brown incase McCoy does get injured and Ben Tate incase Arien Foster gets injured. Both of those guys will get the lion share of the running duties if either one gets injured.

Yeah, those backups are solid as both of their starters can be injury prone.

Cleveland's awesome defense is already showing.

Let's see. Thus far:

1) defensive pass interference penalty from their top man in the secondary that results in an easy 1-yd score

2) QB that seems to have some talent pays for a meaningless first down by getting hurt

It's a "leg injury." On the flip side, Weeden at QB makes Willis McMaybe even more of a waste.

I was excited to see Hoyer, but tune in to see Wheedon.

Fuck is he bad.

He looks like he throws in slow motion.

HAHA. Chris Ogboy-a-something, the only member of their backfield that can catch anything besides VD, is out now.
