I'm in two tight ones this week.

In one league i'm expecting to win, in another league i'm expecting to lose.

I am up 9.2 and have Andre Johnson left, he has Donald Brown (or mike hart if Brown is out) and Mendenhall.

In the other one I'm up 7 and have Schaub, Blair White, Lance Moore, and Jacob Tamme. He has Mendenhall, Hines, and Vinateiri

Still have Peyton, Blair White, Indy D, Hartley, and Lance Moore

Verdict, I win.

Second league, up 25:
I have Manning, Tamme, Hartley, Brown
He has Garcon, Heath Miller, Pitt D

Verdict, I win

I was forced to play Max Hall today, our league starts 2 QBs, Matt Ryan was on a bye. Luckily it didn't hurt me as Calvin Johnson and Sims-Walker were in beast mode. Gore and Jamaal Charles had good games as well. I'm up 28 with Owen Daniels left for tomorrow night and my opponent is done. I was nervous when the Lions were making their run, he has Stafford who had 33 points and still had Chris Johnson left to play but he didn't do all that much.

Injuries and bye weeks killed me this week, but I'm up 69-44 thanks to Blount and Fitzgerald. He's got Shaub and Garcon left, so I probably lose.

Garcon is going to catch 4 TDs, all from a WR reverse pass...and you'll lose

Just scooped up Blount. He will be a good 3rd RB and/or our WR/RB slot.

This. Last time I checked I was down 117-68. I have Johnson, Ivory and the Colts D left but it isnt looking good. My team has been destroyed by injuries and the bye. I had to pick up Ivory, Sproles, Amendola and Moeaki just to fill my roster

I had to start Shonn Greene and Blount. Blount worked out for me... If Rodgers would have gotten me more than 6, I'd feel even better about this week... As it is, up 25 points and he has Shaub and Garcon....eh...

I was stuck with Fitz (he finally came through) and Roy Williams at WR (blah)...

I had Forte, Maclin, Nicks, and LeSean McCoy all on byes this week... Good thing is, even if I do lose, I'll be 5-3 and still in first in my division. I think the silver lining this week though is the fact that I picked up LeGarrette Blount for a spot start and it's looking like he's going to be the guy in Tampa Bay. He had a solid play last week, but this week was amazing.

Sucking. Hines didn't do a thing and neither did Santana Moss.

I have:
QB Eli Manning
RB Ray Rice
RB Michael Turner
Flex Matt Forte
DEF Baltimore
Backup QB Jay Cutler

Why is that significant? They all had a bye this week. I'm doing shitty.

and before anyone gives me shit for having drafted so dumb that all my guys are on a bye the same week, this is a full keeper league. I had all these guys last year.

EDIT: I'm in the lead by 8 points and my opponent has kevin walter going tonight. I might end up with a win, but i only have 82 points. helps that the guy i'm playing has a shittier week than me (26 points combined from his WR/RB/FLEX)

Colts are gonna be throwing all day long. You should be good. Texans are last in the league in Pass D, going against Peyton. Brown could find the endzone, but I doubt he gets many carries.

I'm up 5, I have Peyton to go tonight and he has no one...Yay I win again


Megatron outscored 7/9 of his starters combined...Other than that my team sucked. I have 59 points right now and he has 54.5, so luckily his entire team was garbage this week.

I have 6 teams this year

(6-1) Up 83-73. He has Arian Foster so I am counting this one as a loss. This team was in the 97% percentile on ESPN coming into this week.

(6-1) Up 74-45. I have Reggie Wayne and he has nobody left so that one will go to 7-1

(3-4) Down 60-47 and he has Matt Schuab and Pierre Garcon left so that is a for sure loss no matter what happens. I got 16 points out of my RB's, WR's and Flex on this one.

(6-1) Up 81-57. He Has Joseph Addai so this one will also go to 7-1

(3-3-1) Down 101-63. He has Peyton Manning and I have Reggie Wayne and Arian Foster. Its going to take a miracle so I am counting this one as a loss. Had BenJarvis Green-Ellis on this bench or this might have been more doable.

(6-1) Up 82-75 He has Matt Schuab and I have Peyton Manning and Pierre Garcon so it looks like this one will also go to 7-1

Down big after benching Steve Breaston and starting Kenny Britt ... ughhh. Need about 370 yards, 4 TDs and 0 INTs out of Schaub tonight AND around 5 XPs and 2 FGs out of Neil Rackers. Not likely.

Wow... I pulled it off with my JV team.

6-2 and a 2 game lead in my division... Just got a firmer grip on the #2 seed and stay tied for the #1 seed record wise... (he owns the tie breaker so far because of total pts scored)

7-1 an 6-2. First and tied for first.

My buddy, who was in first going into the week at 6-1 lost because of Freeney. He was down about 8 heading into the game with Schaub going. Schaub got hm the lead on the last drive via yardage. Up 103.32 101.96. Freeneys sack/fumble was a -2 for Schaub and he lost 101.32 to 101.96. I was pretty happy as it put me tied for him in first.

It reminded me of when I lost a few years ago because my QB (I forget who) took 3 knees and got me -.9
