If it weren't for Darry Sproles getting points for that return TD in my keeper PPR, he would've shat a brick this week. The fuck, Philly? And in that league...
Gronk (me) v. Edelman and Pierre Thomas. I have a 10 point cushion I expect to lose very quickly. Need Edelman to get shot or the Gronk show on MNF. Also, in every league this week, some assfuck managed to pick the same D as me on the waivers, twice. Every fucking league. D is what killed me in the catt league this week. That and Arian Foster phoning it the fuck in.

I have Gronk Monday night too in my FF&F league. I'm down 25 with Brees and Gronk to go and he's got nothing left. Very doable, but I've had a really bad football weekend.
And Catt, I fully expected the Steelers to lose. That's classic Mike Tomlin coaching right there. He wins a big game, then lets the whole team go into the next one overconfident. Oakland has beat us the past three years. Oakland.

Gronk v. Edelman with 6.5 points in my favour. It'd be really nice if this is the game his snap count goes back near 100%. That's so inflating Julian's numbers.
Lost in the catt league. Won in non-keeper standard. Got the #1 RB (Murray) and QB (Luck) in points right now. Too bad my WR corp blows. Trying to keep my "two wins, one loss" in my three leagues streak going.

Brees got enough garbage time points for me that I'm only down 2 points going into Monday night's game. I've got Gronk, he's done.
Bernard Pierce killed me this week. I sat Toby Gerhart this week in favor of him, but he got 0 points while Gerhart got 9. His biggest total of the year. Figures.

I sat both Lorenzo and Pierce this week because one-third of the Baltimore run game isn't enough for me. Looks like Bernie's not figuring into things unless someone breaks out the Mike Shanahan book of RB strategy over there. Even my scrub WRs got TDs this week. Torrey Smith and Decker in one league (nothing for Crabtree). Even Mike Wallace in the other league got one. When the fuck is Andre Johnson going to spring back to life? He needs whatever Geritol Gatorade Steve Smith is slamming before every game.

Finally!
Once Brady left I thought it was over. I was losing by 1 point and my opponent's bench was only behind by 2 points with Bowe still on the field (Tiebreaker). I needed 2 more poins and Gronk needed only 12 yards. That TD more than sealed it.
I'll move to 3-1 in both leagues.

Keeper PPR: 2-2. I need a WR besides Crabtree to step up.
Non-keeper standard: I'm one WR away from a strong position. Still 3-1 with Luck, Demarco, Gronk, Larry Donnell. There is no one who will benefit more from an Eli comeback than me.
Catt league: 2-2. Striking out on the RBs unless Ball starting rolling ***rimshot*** or Arian gets healthy.

I'm being offered a trade in my work league.
He wants Doug Martin, which would leave me with Terrence West, Matt Asiata, Zac Stacy, and Shonn Greene.
In return, I can pick from Victor Cruz, Keenan Allen, DeShawn Jackson, Brian Quick, and Torrey Smith.
My problem is Terrence West is about to be dropped to third string with Ben Tate returning. Although Crowell is available in this league, so I could dump West and grab Crowell to offset the loss of Martin.
For the record, Martin has 16 fan points on the year in this league and my WR corp is Calvin Johnson, Markus Wheaton, Terrence Williams, T.Y. Hilton, and Mike Evans.
We start 2 WRs, 2 RBs, 1 TE, and a flex WR/RB.

Asiata's starting, but on an offense that's going to be playing from behind and throwing a lot. Other than him, your only starters are Dougie (far from fresh) and Zac, who's playing in much the same situation Matt is.
Let's also remember that Tampa's a train wreck. The WRs he's letting you pick from:
1) Avoid Torrey Smith. I own him in a PPR league. Still not worth it.
2) Vic Cruz is not a solid enough WR1.
DeSean has that injury history and also has Pierre Garcon. That said, I'd take DeSean over Pierre for potential. Keenan's been iffy this year (Phil spreads the ball and Keenan hadn't gone over 5 catches or 60 yards until this week). Bryan Quick is quickly becoming the top WR in St. Louis. That's kind of like having the most kick-ass Ford Festiva.

Yeah, the Quick option kind of works against Zac Stacy whom I basically have to start weekly. Two guys is a shitty offense in a defensive division? No thanks.
I was thinking of Cruz and DeSean. Cruz seems to be the better choice at the moment as Eli is beginning to play and he has a ton of targets. DeSean has the injury and there's the whole Cousins/RGIII thing...
Honestly, I don't even know if I need the trade. Think I'll do some number crunching at lunch and see if there's a team that needs a WR but might have three solid starting RBs...
