    Any experienced fantasy player knows that there are NO SURE THINGS from year to year (except for Reggie Bush being overrated).

    I feel you with brees, I keep starting him because my backup option is not very good, and I always tell myself this is the week he turns the corner I am 0-4 on the year and have lost by 4 or 5 points almost every game this year.

    I own Addai and Westbrook. :( And Chad Johnson was on a bye week. :( I picked up Michael Pittman as a replacement for Westbrook and he got injured after posting -1 yards. :(

    Worse still, I thought Addai was going to start so I left him in the starting lineup.

    Save me, Donald Driver. Save me!

    How do you have Addai and Westrbrook? Are you playing in an 8 team league? maybe even 6?

    I knew as soon as I bench Jones-Drew he would show up. He, Stephen Jackson, Travis Henry and Frank Gore have totally demolished my 2 teams so far.

    It is unreal the kind of play I am getting from these guys. Jackson's hurt, Henry is about to be suspended, Gore sucks ass and Jones Drew only shows up when I bench him.

    Watch, next week I'll play jones drew and he'll go back to his old self. UUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

    I have picked up so many players off the wire and nothing is helping. I can't find any consistent players.

    Thank you Jon Kitna and Shaun Alexander. When you're starting QB and top HB combine for 4 points, you're pretty much screwed.

    I'm getting so pissed...I decide to take Joey Harrington as my bye week replacement, thinking he might put up some better numbers than Joe Campbell...well he got 1 damn point while Campbell racked up 20+ I think. Why oh why did I fall into that trap...it's freakin Joey Harrington!

    Then Roy Williams disappeared again...not such a bad thing considering my opponent had Kitna, who didn't do anything.

    Portis didn't perform like he had been in previous weeks.

    And then Santonio Holmes...damn you Pittsburgh for not disclosing his injury...I could have slipped Vincent Jackson into his spot and got 14pts! :mad:

    It's like I got a good team...but good decisions on paper turning bad on Sunday and poor performances are ruining me.

    I had the #2 pick in a 12 man league. This was who I drafted

    QB: Bulger
    RB: Steven Jackson, Deuce McCallister, Caddillac Williams
    WR: Fitzgerald, Chambers, Curtis
    TE: Forgot
    DEF: Cowboys

    Deuce is done for the year
    Caddy is done for the year
    Jackson is injured
    Bulger is injured

    So far I've had to depend on Kurt Warner, Ben Watson, Derrick Ward for points.

    I took harrington, cutler and huard over campbell. My brother picks up campbell and gets 20 plus from him today. Talk about snake-bitten. My brother puts Randell - El in and gets 17 on me. WTF :mad:

    I would give that award to LJ, the guy has been complete crap. LJ was a Top 3 pick in probably every single draft.

    84 attempts 275 yards 0 TDs

    Anybody catch John Madden's observation on the Bears WR.

    John Madden: You say, well, why hasn't the bears WR caught any passes.
    John Madden: Because they don't get open. LOL!
