I got so lucky in the Swamp league. Before week 3, I picked up Donnell to back up Kyle Rudolph. Rudolph got hurt so I had to start Donnell tonight. Bwa ha ha.

Yeah, the score of our game is 23-5. One of our teams started a QB, the other a TE. Do the math AND YOU WILL BE WRONG.

I cut Eli Manning when you guys said he wouldn't be as good as Rodgers and Rivers in Week 1. Thanks a heap.

I've gotten used to having my roster static with the exception of Def, so bye week has me facing my first real decision. Ahmad Bradshaw v. Tennessee or CJ Spiller v. Houston? Bradshaw seems like the safe play, more likely to outscore Spiller, but you gotta love Spiller's upside, especially in a PPR league. I am pretty heavily favored to win this one, and DeSean Jackson didn't help my opponents cause, so I am thinking i play it safe.

My friend just cut Tom Brady to pick up Russell Wilson. While he's waiting for Wilson to clear waivers he started Cousins.

BSF21 · Post by **BSF21** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 9:05 am

I'd like to take this time to congratulate myself on the shrewd move of saying, "Self, Eli Manning sucks and is too risky of a play here, and since you didn't have waiver priority to get at that young stud Cousins, you should put your marbles in the steadfast pillar that is Ryan Fitzpatrick. No, Self, no one cares that he is unproven and that Manning could have tremendous upside. Go with your gut. Get Fitzy!"

Way to go self. Stellar work there.

I just checked the box score for my other league (the one I'm in with DSG), and my opponent had Donnell AND E. Manning. So I pretty much don't have to worry about anything else the rest of the weekend.

My D/ST is the Texans, and they play the Bills this week and then have a run of good offences. Thought I might make the switch this week, but someone beat me to the Chargers.

I was this close to picking up the Redskins when I remembered that EJ Manuel's aim is a bit off. Sometimes, life is good.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 6:23 pm

Does Yahoo ever revise scores? On the site they reserve the right to do so.

I'm ahead by one point and have Stevan Ridley tonight. My opponent is done for the week. My gut instinct is to bench Ridley now, lest he have a negative score (you never know!). But what if Yahoo revises a score? I might need Ridleys points.

What say the Swamp?

EdRomero · Post by **EdRomero** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 6:34 pm

When you guys root for the Patriots tonight, cheer for Brady and Edelman to combine for 35 points.

My league had two different games turn on revised scores last season.

That's good enough for me. I'll keep Ridley in the lineup.

I hope he fumbles then blows out his knee.

Here's time for a brag. I might be the only person in America who drafted LeSean McCoy (spent $52 out of $100 for first 5) who is 4-0.

The same guy against whom I hope my players realize they are permitted to score touchdowns in my league so I don't have an 0-5 start?

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 1:07 pm

I have put up a whopping 4 points for the season with my mix of defenses. 2 games for negative scores. I am seriously considering not having a defense so I can use the extra spot on my bench.

First place battle in my pool this week. Things go the way I hope, I may get a Deandre Hopkins tattoo.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 10:33 am

I think I already know the answer, but Eli at home against the Falcons Swiss Cheese defense is the better play than Dalton going into New England, even with Ints worth -3 and Pick Sixes worth an additional -4, right?

So, it was a damned good thing I kept Ridley active. Yahoo DID revise my score, by taking away one 11-yard catch by Jeremy Maclin, costing me a point. Luckily Ridley got me two points, for a two-point win.

Gimme two out of

Forsett @ IND

In my big $ league (Winner gets about $1500, possibly more if he wins cumulative points), we play two games per week. The reason we do this is to have a bigger sample size so you don't have all of these anomalies with shit teams making the playoffs and great teams not. Just to give an idea, the league average is about 168 so putting up 200 points is really good and should yield good results. I've scored in the 200s in 6 of my 10 games...I'm 1-5 in these games. 4 of the times I've finished with the 3rd best points for the week, I went 0-4 (week 1 and this week). That means the only two people that could have beaten me, I happened to be playing. The other time, I finished 2nd for the week and was playing the only person that could have beaten me and won the other game obviously. This week, I lost a game by .7 points and the other game by 5.8 points. I had THREE FUCKING PERCY HARVIN TDS CALLED BACK ON PENALTIES!!! THREE!!! I'm 2-8 and leading the league in points. I even had nine players on bye last week and I'm still leading the league in points.

That last completion to Garcon won me my matchup this week.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 12:55 pm

I also have Harvin in multiple leagues. One of them won in spite of it, the other would have needed all 3.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 1:13 pm

I seemed to catch a bunch of reversed TDs when periodically checking in on games. Eric Ebron is one that effected me, as I picked him up in the monstrosity that is the Swamp FFL. Then I realized I screwed up putting him in my lineup, as I thought Paul wasn't playing. Turned out not to matter, as they both put up goose eggs. Did I mention how much I hate an 18 man league where I had to autodraft? I am starting 3rd string RBs, and until this week, Justin Hunter. Dropped him, and he blew up bigtime.
The best reversed TD, and maybe it was just ESPN's game tracker, but I was starting Demaryious Thomas and against E. Sanders. The site credited Sanders with a TD, effectively taking me out of range. I did some math to figure out how close the score would have been if Thomas got the score instead. A couple minutes later, I see Sanders score drop and Thomas jump up.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 6:47 am

Meant to ask this last night guys...Should I start Arian Foster in what will undoubtedly be a high scoring game and he won't get any carries? And How about TY Hilton, is he due for a breakout? He's been sitting on my bench all eyar and I am leery.

(I got LUCKy. Had Luck, Foster and Hilton and decided to start all three. 87-0 right now.)

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 6:56 am

Nice. I almooost took Hilton out of my lineup for Justin Hunter because he'd been sucking ass and I hate having dudes in Thursday games. Fortunately I subbed Hilt-dog back in shortly thereafter.

Thank you, Hilton.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 7:37 am

Happy with Bradshaw, but I started Hopkins which means that one of Wes Welker, Fred Jackson Reuben Randle or Kelvin Benjamin will be benched.

Hope the TExans are enjoying the Ryan Fitzpatrick era.

EdRomero · Post by **EdRomero** » Sun Oct 12, 2014 4:22 pm

I benched Brady for Big Ben. Again.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Mon Oct 13, 2014 9:19 am

I am down 10. My opponent has played all of his players, I have a QB to go tonight. I had Austin Davis in but, needing 11, just switched him out for Kaepernick. What say yinz?

I think that is the right move. STL has one sack on the year, so it seems like Kaepernick should be able to have his way.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Tue Oct 14, 2014 6:53 am

Great moments in fuckin' gut punch fantasy losses. Winning, by 5, until the Rams threw the pick 6 with one minute left last night and flipped the score (I was facing 49ers D and kicker). Lost by 2. Fuck.
