Nope. Born in Toledo and went to Scott HS. Did go to Tiffin though.

Fred Davis did go to Rogers, correct there.

You sucked twice.

I dont know why I went with Williams though, so unproven and its a damn PPR. That was my fault (but you convinced me to stick with it lol). Maclins hip worried me, but Jackson shouldve been a no brainer. How bad was Jennings and Floyd though? Fuck that.

I did. I don't know how I always do so well in my own leagues, but stuff like this never pans out.

Sorry. :D

I went (or will go 0-3) after going 3-0 last week. Starting Jackson and not Williams wouldve put this down to the defenses (Chi for him, Dallas for me).

Good news is, I went 3-0 versus the spread today and got my suicide pick (Falcons) to keep me alive. It was a miracle, but Ill take it. Down to the last 10 out of 115. So a good day overall.

I know I'm completely jinxing myself, but I have yet to make a wrong "who to start" move this year, which is insane for me considering there's been 4 opportunities.

Played Greg Olsen over Fleener and Brandon Lloyd over Doug Martin at the flex. I have yet to have a bench player score more than my starter at that position.

Good call! Tough choice, never know when the bye week player will have a breakout game. lol :D

Let me have another shot--I should have said that I dropped Fleener for Olsen not because of the bye (which, thanks for pointing out my idiocy ;) ) but production purposes. I didn't realize Fleener was on a bye until you said something, I was back in ohio the past 4 days for a wedding and didn't do anything fantasy related except read injury reports to see if I needed to change my lineup

And hey, I could have said Maclin.

Starting Lynch over Ryan Mathews this week was DEFINITELY the right call.

Im still confused as to why it was even up for debate. Lynch was leading the NFC in rushing and gets 25 touches a game. He will probably outscore Ryan Mathews all year consistently.

For RBs our league scoring is like PPR on steroids, catching balls out of the backfield and the yardage for rec yards is different for RBs than in normal leagues. Mathews typically gets more rec yards than Lynch, that is the only reason.

Starting Mathews over Alfred Morris didn't work out for me.
I started Welker, Nelson, and Austin. Welker and Nelson both got 20+ and I need similar form Austin.

However, I have a paltry 43.5 points on the bench from Brian Hartline.

WRs, start 3 (1/2 PPR)

AJ Green vs MIA
B. Marshall @ JAX
R. Wayne vs GB
S. Smith vs SEA

AJG is a must start, so really I'm asking which one of the other 3 to sit.

I'm leaning toward sitting Smith since SEA is a pretty good defense, JAX is a terrible pass defense, and IND will be passing all day to catch up to GB.

I also have a WW request for B. Hartline, but won't know if I get him until later today (probably won't, I have lowest priority given 1st place in league).

If I get Hartline it will muddie the water as I am dropping R. Moss so I will have 5 viable WR options.

Also, no, I can't start 4 of them, if I start 4 I have to sit either Ray Rice or M. Lynch which isn't worth it.

I lost by a measly 2.37 points this week, and only because my opponent had the San Francisco defense.

I haven't been that fired up about FFL in a long time.

I'd sit Smith.

Also, I would indeed drop Moss for Hartline, but I wouldn't consider Hartline viable yet. He needs to show some consistency at even being an okay option.

I agree, I put in for Hartline mostly to see if he gets consistant AND to not let anyone else have him.

My big bye week is in a couple weeks, I did not need him this week, but may whe Rice and AJGreen are on bye in the same week.

That's tough. They all have disaster potential.

Saying that, I guess I'd go with Matthews.

The Butler. It appears that RG3 just can't keep him out of the endzone, no matter how many TDs he hawks.

Jackie Battle has been named the starter in SD so that may be a way to eliminate Matthews?
