And you think it's mine?

Jeremy Hill with only his second truly great game of the season?

Spencer Ware actually stringing 2 good games together for once?

Brandon LaFell hitting double digits for only the second time this season?

My Bills Defense who were 2nd in fantasy points before this week coming up with....0(!) points against a shit Dolphins team?

You forgot to mention that Nelson, Eifert and Gostkowski combined for only 4.8 points, so it's not like everything went my way.

Don't blame me for starting Bengals when they were playing vs. the only winless team in the league or starting Ware against the Saints defense when Charles was out. I mean, come on. If such decisions didn't lead to fantasy points, then there would be no need whatsoever to put any thought into anything.

You started WRs for both of the struggling New York teams. Anyone could have told you that that is going to be quite a high risk. Regardless, I don't get why you feel so down at this point. You trail by 34 points, but Johnson averaged 30 points over the past two games while Graham averaged 10. That means it's far from over. Seattle@Arizona isn't necessarily a defensive slugfest because these two teams faced 2 each other in high-scoring affairs as well.

I'm not "blaming" you for anything. Just saying that you got some pretty helpful performances from some not necessarily expected places. Ya, Nelson underperformed a lot, but Eifert had what, his first game back? No wonder he's rusty, and not into the offense. And Gostkowski missed 1 PAT, so it's not like he left a bunch of points on the table for you-

And yes, technically Johnson and Graham could still pull it out for me, but my recollection of last year is that the Seahawks totally shut Johnson down, and that was when the rest of the Cardinals offense was actually more helpful than they have been so far this year, so idk how great his prospects are in this game. Hell I'm not even sure I WANT him to have a great game, cus above all else, I want the Seahawks to win. And Graham, well I think he'll be solid, but unlikely to ball out like crazy. I'm guessing they'll combine for maybe 20 points tonight

Are you seriously trying to say that nobody would expect players to score big fantasy points against teams like the Browns and the Saints?

I knew that Eifert would only play a limited amount of snaps, but against the Browns that could have been enough to score a TD, and getting a TD out of a TE already counts for something because it isn't a high-scoring fantasy position. Gostkowski may have only missed a PAT, but I expect more scoring drives from the Patriots, not such a stupid "we either make a TD or don't even get into the opponent's half"; field goals would be nice once in a while.

Just because teams score big against those teams doesn't mean that average players will necessarily have huge days against them. Ball can be spread out too

But hey, it is what it is. At least now you don't have to quit fantasy football lol

Ware is the Chiefs' RB1 when Charles is out, Hill is the Bengals' RB1; they are bound to be handed the ball. LaFell isn't a bad WR2 and opposing teams have to cover A.J. Green, so...

You should better think of a good reason why you started New York receivers.

Simple, they're great receivers. Just cus their teams are shit doesn't mean they can't have great performances. Marshall has been good for me the last 3 games, and OBJ has been good for me as well since I've got him. No reason to bench them. Marshall I was considering, because of the QB change, and the general insecurity devloping in that locker room, but I figured he's getting so many targets on that ass team without Eric Decker, I might easily regret taking him out.

I can live with that just fine. Not particularly bothered about it not paying off tonight. Shit happens

ughhhhh a lot of close games just did not go my way, including the stinking Chargers somehow winning a close game.... Poopey week for me XP

Yes, bad week for you. Looks like only few people will be better than you while most will do worse.

You really aren't the brightest bulb in the room.

Sorry Rol, I feel no sympathy for the peseants at the bottom.
