Cratbree's still taken in our league. We have decently deep benches.

This week Carolina's playing against the Patriots who are coming off their bye on MNF. Part 2 of our midseason WTF!? scheduling.

Brady's boys are all back (Amendola, Gronk) and healthy.

Should be pretty epic. I'm thinking the Panthers keep a heavy run game going all night, and hope Brady doesn't have a ridiculous Brady game. If we get pressure on Brady early, or if he just goes all LOL SUPERBOWL on us, it'll be onesided either way.

Otherwise, it should be a helluva close game and fun to watch.

Pats generally do good coming off the bye.

Looks like Trent Richardson is having better luck off the field than he is on it! LOL

Larry Brown Sports suggested that the amount of women in the video was greater than Richardson's yards per carry as a Colt.

Ouch.

PPR:
3-way tie for best league record. 2 games up in the div. 1 game up in the bye week race. Playing the div #2 this week. Still no WR2. Going to give Rueben Randle a shot. Dalton is killing Marvin Jones. When did Roddy White become Fred Taylor? That motherfucker is more prone to injury lately than Samuel L. Jackson's character from Unbreakable.

Standard:
Playing league leader. Would love to steal a win from him consider he beat me week 1 when I had Demaryius and Welker and Owen Daniels going. Only postseason this year is the losers bracket. But hey, consolation prize is the entry fee for next year.

Good jeebus, I retract anything I said about Richardon's slump not being his fault.

Same number of runs as Brown and fucking Luck. Of those three, guess who's the only dude without a score and with the lowest YPC?

Serving Gatorade in my opponent's locker room:
Donald Brown with 22 points plus change. Turning in a mediocre performance on the field for him ... T.Y. Hilton.

Big Ben blowback for Steelers.

Posted: **Fri Nov 15, 2013 4:21 pm**

I'm fine either way.

If he retires a Steeler, fine.

If he's leaving, I wish they'd trade him and get value.

The revolving door that is my PPR team's WR2 position continues to spin this week.

Crabtree and Harvin are taken. The pizza injury to Burleson's arm is still keeping him sidelined. The remaining scrubs:

Greg Jennings: just having a godawful year with a godawful passing game. The only QB that looked his way got benched after two games. I see no upside beyond a miracle.

Marvin Jones: comes and goes with Andy Dalton's not sucking and sucking. However, Cleveland has been killed by the WR2 position this year.

Week 9: Marlon Brown, 5-54, 2 TDs.
Week 8: McClusterfuck, 7-67, 1 TD.
Week 7: Jarret Boykin, 8-103, 1 TD.
Week 6: Kris Durham, 8-83.

You have to go back to weeks 4 and 5 to see when they last shut down WR2.

Week 5: Robert Woods, 5-64 ... would've been more had EJ Manual not gone down, Woods was clearly his go-to WR1 dude with all the injuries at the time.
Week 4: Marvin Jones, goose egg.

So I'm kind of torn on that stat.

Rueben Randle: Toss out KC and Carolina games (two tough Ds) and they've only been held to fewer than 20 points once this season. Cruz is clearly the man for Big Blue, though, and Rueben fights with Hakeem for targets.

Roddy White: Revis Island plus his hamstring/ankle/shoulder/whatever injury concerns plus his entire fucking performance for this season to date.

Just goddamnit. Marvin or Rueben? Thoughts?

You need Rafi to choke you out until you say one of their names.

My benched Bobby Rainey is kicking the ass of my opponent's benched Donald Brown.

The Pittsburgh throwback uniforms look like they came from a long-forgotten California prop costume studio that stored them because the '60 Batman TV show rejected them for henchman outfits. Dear fucking god.

Posted: **Sun Nov 17, 2013 3:44 pm**

I hated them last year, and I still hate them.

Posted: **Sun Nov 17, 2013 5:27 pm**

Ah, Case Keenum, What a way to fuck me over right before you were going to start against Jacksonville on Wilson's bye. Goddamnit. My $1 investment in Bobby Rainey may bode well for me on Lynch's bye, though, and let me avoid going WR at flex. Bengals D is back in
"kick your ass" mode even with some key injuries. And is Roddy White zombie'ing back from the dead?

Pittsburgh looked awful, but the win was nice considering I won't hear any shit from Lions fans.

It appears I might be on my way to a win in both fantasy leagues too.

HAH. The Lions are only a few years removed from the shit pile.

Unless the Pats D outscores Welker and Gronk by 7 points, I suck in both. The standard league win comes against the div leader. I know I'm pretty much fucked and he's four games up on the #2, but goddamn it feels good to smash him.

Deadline for trades is Nov. 20 in PPR. Going to see if Rainey and/or Woodhead can be given up for a reliable WR2. Roddy's nice, but I need to see him have a #1 WR game before I trust him for reliability.
