Arian Foster was out, Vernon Davis was out, LeSean was gone most of the game, Aaron Rodgers couldn't do anything, and all the reports SAID DeAngelo Williams was going to play, so I doubled-down on Panther RBs thinking the Steelers would get beat on the ground. Not only did Williams not play, but the Steelers absolutely crushed the run game.

gently caress this week.

Two of the three undefeated teams have already secured a loss today, I'm hoping for a huge night from Matt Forte to make it a trio.

Also, look at those 20 point WRs on my bench. Anyone want a freshly minted Jordan Matthews? Going price is a defense that isn't the Miami Dolphins.

Well, the writing was on the wall with that tactic.

e: Looks like unless Matt Forte drops 30, we'll only have one undefeated team left in the league going into week 4.

My only other shot was to play Hurns or Boldin, neither of which would have helped me win, but would have at least scored points, since I started an injured man.

If I had realized White wasn't playing and subbed in Floyd, and bit the bullet on giving up on my sweet autodraft selection of Gerhart and put in Fred Jackson like I agonized over, I'd have won this week. The lesson is, I guess, that I suck at fantasy football.

Hey Yoshifan, did you reject my trade proposal? It's cool, but I was expecting a message from Yahoo saying "Your trade has been rejected" or something like that. Instead it's just... not there.

I did, yeah. I don't trust the Rams D much further than I can throw them. I dunno why it didn't send you a message.

I tried to talk myself into it not being a terrible selection when I missed the first 10 minutes of the draft and ended up with him but...he's garbage.

Russell Wilson's War has shattered the season's worst score record by about 8 points; so far that record has been revised weekly. A Most Wanted Manning is now officially the only undefeated team, but in terms of cumulative score, it is clear that true power lies in the Robin Williams division with four teams attaining over 300 points so far to the Hoffman division's one.

I'm excited to come in with my Rainman FF skills and pilot an autodraft team to the playoffs.

Hahaha who am I kidding this will be a rerun of the year that made me quit fantasy football where I went 6-0 then missed the playoffs.

Happened to me last year in my other league. Fantasy football is fun because it's so swingy as to be almost random, embrace it or embrace agony.

Looks like my hopes for the week (and frankly, the season) rest upon Drew Brees in primetime vs. a historically porous Dallas secondary. I'll take those odds. :cool:

I'm completely happy with this week's performance. Put up a league high performance while down a WR1, RB1, and Flex starter.

Also, I'm gonna be in 2nd place because Jamaal Charles decided to be Jamaal Charles tonight. No matter how lovely I fare against my other leagues, it's nice to know that I'm gonna shitkick you lot year after year (until I lose in the finals!)

I looked at Vargo's week and was like "drat, I've never seen such a disappointing output," but then I saw Aaron Rodgers was benched for Jay Cutler and my sympathies morphed into cackling merriment.
