    me too, the kid can flat out play WR. Which is incredible since he had to learn how in 1 training camp just to make the team. He's probably my favorite player in the league. Overcoming 2 straight ACL tears shows an incredible amount of resiliency

    My team went off
    I have Manning/Kitna
    Bush/Ahman Green/Adrian Peterson/
    TO/Andre Johnson/L Coles
    Jason Witten


    I think Johnson is going to go off this year.
    I may trade Kitna for some RB since my RB are kind of weak.

    Ok, I was in deep trouble until Plaxico went off for 40 points last night. My starting WR's this week were Reggie Wayne (28) and Plax (40). Too bad my 3 RB's and QB totally sucked it up.

    I'm up by 23, with Shayne Graham going for me tonight. My opponent has Fitzgerald and Vernon Davis going, so it could be a nail biter.

    This team in my league had over 100 points at 4:45 while no other team in the league had 60. They're now losing by 30. That's what happens when you go against TO/Little Manning/Plaxico.

    I'm losing but have a very small chance of winning tonight. He has R. Johnson/Stover/Baltimore D. I have Leinart/Fitz. If I can get a Brady/Moss or Manning/Plaxico performance out of those tonight, I have a chance. I should've started Calvin Johnson over Donte Stallworth, but that was my only mistake. :mad:

    did I have to face a team that has most of their guys going over the top this week? I mean reggie wayne, andre johnson, randy moss and travis henry all had huge fantasy games and I have no one to make up for it since the chargers did nothing. hopefully i get some great production tonight... :(

    I still can't believe people actually get paid for being fantasy "experts" on these websites.

    The only experts on the game are the supercomputers vegas uses to set the lines... and even those are routinely off week to week.

    I HATE our defensive special teams scoring rules.

    In our league, the Def/Spec scores by yardage.

    Under 50 yards 21 points
    Under 100 yards 18 points
    Under 150 yards 15 points
    Under 200 yards 12 points
    Under 250 yards 9 points
    Under 300 yards 6 points
    Under 350 yards 3 points
    Over 350 you get zero points.

    Basically if a team gets a huge lead and then goes into a prevent defense you get screwed.

    And all you do is watch the defensive teams stats tick down instead of going up as they are earned.

    It REAKS !!!

    I would prefer

    2 points for a turnover
    1 points for a sack
    2 points for a safety
    6 points for a TD

    Screw the yardage, that is pretty much irrelevant as a defensive scoring system.

    I HATE it.

    I hope all of you started Derek Anderson!!! (Just kidding, you should get points just for knowing who he is. I'm just glad my Browns won a game sooner than later.)

    We have two payouts in our league...head to head pays 33%, but then 67% is paid for total accumulated points.

    And to claim anyone off of waivers costs points...20 points for a QB/RB/WR and 10 points for Def/TE/K

    It is really a risk to claim anyone early.

    There were a lot of people that said Randy Moss was washed up, but thank goodness he isn't.

    Atleast fantasy wise.

    Man, chill out... it's week 2 and Rivers had to open up against Da Bears week 1 and he's playing NE now.. Of course he's going to struggle against those defenses who isn't? Besides you should have a backup QB to start in place of him playing against those defenses in the first place.

    Now I'd be pissed if I owned S-Jackson or Lee Evans.

    Drew Brees blows.

    Reggie Bush swallows.

    I do have a team with Palmer, Steve Smith and Andre Johnson, along with Westbrook who plays tomorrow night...and I'm probably losing, because that's how my luck rolls in fantasy football.
