    Good call. I was probably wrong on all my calls this week.

    Good thing I started Reggie Bush over Michael Turner.

    My pick up of Justin Tucker off the free agent pile has paid off these last two games.

    I also picked up Washington's defense off the free agent list yesterday.

    Although he created 3 turnovers, Vick got me 20.

    Now for the bad.....

    Brandon Lloyd and the entire Patriots team.....wth?

    J. Charles and the Chiefs.....wth?

    C. Johnson.....WTF!?!?

    sat Tate...damn. One league, it wouldnt have mattered because the guy demolished me. The other one I am down by 3 but have Julio and Matt Bryant tonight.

    Wanted to start Bradford but someone on here convinced me otherwise, but i'm still in the lead in that league. Luckily I still beat the guy in that one

    I'm in a PPR league that isn't scoring oriented at all really. In fact it's not all that reception oriented either... it's yardage bonus oriented. Big yardage means big points. If someone goes off for 200yds receiving or 400yds passing it's much more beneficial than having someone like Michael Bush score 3 vulture TD's.

    So...

    I have Murray/McFadden/McCoy. Would it make sense to unload one and grab a tier 1 WR? I think WR's can get big yardage more consistently. My only fear is that one of my backs will go down. I have D. Brown too but who knows if that line can get it together.

    I have Colston/A. Brown/D. Thomas at WR. A bunch of WR2 guys.

    Is there a 100 yard receiving bonus?

    If there is, I would bet Megatron leads all RBs and WRs in bonuses.

    There are bonuses for 40yd and 50yd plays as well as 100yd and 200yd performances. WRs get 100yds more often than RBs I imagine.

    Needing 33 points, at least to tie, from Julio Jones this week... anyone here think I have a chance at that?

    Doubtful against Denver, but I wouldn't be surprised if he got in the 20 point range again.

    Week 1: 150.5 pts - biggest blowout and highest point total in the league.
    Week 2: 182.5 pts - could've gotten 200 if not for a few dumb moves. I just feel sorry for my opponents now.

    Thank you Hakeem Nicks, Darren Sproles, Arian Foster, and Reggie Bush.

    Well, I lost again this week. The upside is that I finally have a firm grasp on my lineup and as long as Fitzgerald doesn't kill me I think I can make my way up the standings.

    Lineup going forward:

    Cam
    d.williams
    JStew
    Harvin
    Fitz
    {1} Andrew Hawkins/Mike Williams/ Golden Tate/ Streather/ Manningham
    Dennis Pitta
    Micheal Bush
    Cinny D.
    Billy Cundiff

    This lineup should win me some games.

    Looks like Forte will be back sooner than originally expected.

    I don't trust the Cincy D anymore. Other than the occasional special teams TD, that Cincy D looks like it'll continue to get lit up. Perhaps you should try Arizona since they're available in most leagues. They've been consistent in the first two weeks without any special teams points yet.

    Thinking about dropping Jared Cook for Tellus or Pitta. Thoughts?

    I don't typically carry 2 TEs btw so he's the only one on the roster now.

    I am down 36 and I have Peyton and Roddy White tonight. He is done. I think I got this.

    Last week I had someone come back and beat me on Monday night. he had Palmer and I had DMC. SMH.

    In one of my leagues (standard scoring), my TE is gresham and he hasn't done anything so far :eek:

    Should I pick up any of the following : Fred Davis, Coby Fleener, Kyle Rudolph, Dallas Clark, Marcedes Lewis, Dante Rosario?

    Or should I just keep Gresham

    I thought Davis would have a large role going into the season but who knows. You might want to roll the dice on Rudolph. I'd probably stand pat though.

    I really want to bench Chris Johnson for my other back, DeAngelo Williams. Should I or should I not do this? Frank Gore has been carrying my RB corps this whole season.

    Oh and thank you GB, Eli, and Bowe for an awesome week 2! Those three got me 101 pts lol.
