Hey guys, I'm 1 and fucking 5 and I don't play injured people and people on bye weeks.
This week I am benefiting from it but goddamn it, I want to limp to victory over your best shot each week, not destroy a bye week/injury filled team.
Speaking of limps, Earnest Graham is this week's victim in LN'S Injured Player(s) of the Week Contest! Congratulations!
How Bout that Timbo Tebow? It was hard to bench the greatest QB in history since Peyton Manning but in the name of Victory and Fullback Playing Quarterback Who Scores Lots of Fantasy Points Somehow, I chose Tebow.

Nice to see that Drew Brees came back from a few subpar (for him)performances. Now all I need is a nice defensive stand from Baltimore tonight. George Martin is a Jets fan. Dunno if he's in any fantasy leagues..  http://grrm.livejournal.com/245224.htmlNow THOSE were the Jets I've been looking for all season.
Good solid win over a strong San Diego team today. The Chargers won the first half and enjoyed a halftime lead, but in the second half the Jets D stepped up, shut down the San Diego offense, and intercepted Philip Rivers twice in the 4th quarter to seal the win. (And what the hell was Rivers thinking with the fourth down throw with eleven second left? Game's over if he throws it out of bounds. So he throws it out of bounds. Hokay. Rivers has a great arm, but sometimes you have to wonder about his head).
Another great game by Darrell Revis, and the Jets O finally got in gear as well. Plax! Plax!! Plax!!!

I could give you advice for $9.99 a minute, but... ...but you're #15 out of 16, right? Sorry, I'll just go with my gut (and the "experts")

Holy shit there was actually a trade in this league? What is that list supposed to be? Just what it says. TEAMS VS MEDIAN: TOTAL WINS-LOSSES-TIES Kind of how your team would do vs. an average team each week in the W-L column and the other one is how you compare to the median each week all added up together.

"The Canes" is my 15-y.o. nephew Six (really 8) of his players were on Bye this week, and he apparently didn't have any RB's available. It's his first year in this league, but he does take it seriously. He's a sports nut! But sometimes you have to suck one up when your projected stats are 50+ points back, so why drop 1 good player on Bye for some shitty player who won't get 50+ points. Satans Soldiers, on the other hand, is an inexcusable DNP. It's also inexcusable that my TE was a "surprise inactive" that I couldn't replace at the last minute.

Heh, ok then I guess I lucked out and picked the best time to face his team That's understandable. EDIT: Although I shouldn't say that. There's still a chance I could lose to his entire team of backups

I don't think it's the #16 (altho that is quite a bit, I admit)... I think it's the lack of management in just a couple of those teams. For whatever reason -- sometimes real life gets involved. It's unfortunate, but happens. (And no, I certainly hope I'm not one of them lol). Nor is our newest member (my nephew) who's doing better than I am.
DNP's are no good here, I agree.

Perhaps just shorten the benches a bit?
I like the bench size, in fact there used to be a few IR spots for people that were injured and I liked that because then I could have even more players on my roster. I filled it up all the time, like having a waiting list of players too. Probably why we don't have it anymore. Heyward-Bey in the last 4 games: 15,22,14,13. Today: 0. Salas was great with his 12 points and then he got carted off the field. Sigh. Faulk was ruled out after the Noon games started so I had to use Starks instead of Gaffney. At least I had a respectable week. Not a chance in hell of winning though.

Perhaps just shorten the benches a bit? If you mean fewer bench positions, then HELL NO! I had to scramble for a TE after my starter was Out and my backup on Bye. Got 1 whole point from the FA pool, and had to remove a bench player for that 1 point. I WAS pretty close to beating the #1 team, but it'd take a miracle tomorrow. In any event, the bench is your lifeblood and what makes your team a winner or a loser after the draft. Edit: Of course, Aaron Rodgers on your opposing team apparently makes you a loser, regardless.

In any event, the bench is your lifeblood and what makes your team a winner or a loser after the draft. Edit: Of course, Aaron Rodgers on your opposing team apparently makes you a loser, regardless. If we had smaller number of bench positions there would be much higher number of free agents. So folks would be able to get better players. Also there would be a premium on knowing which players to play for a given game. This would be magnified with fewer teams of course but all in all I think it would make things more competitive. Right now if a person doesn't schedule their players they can have a huge impact on other teams because of the long benches. Give it up or turn it loose I say.

Some genius, I can't remember who...  suggested that before the season. Rushin Mafia players on IR as of Week 9:Peyton Manning Jamaal Charles Danny Amendola Kerry Collins Chad Henne Earnest Graham Greg Salas 7! Plus people who just get injured for a game or 4... And every one of those players was the starter at the time of their injury except Kerry Collins. And I still outscored most of you punks.And if Maclin has a 40 point day maybe I can squeak out a win against The Commish.

Lost by 10 freakin' points -- the difference between Pittsburgh's projected (16) and actual (6) points. Not to mention Robert Meachem's big fat Zero.

Come on...this is supposed to be rivalry week. What happened to this league? DB is lame While that may be true, he sure can't compare to Just Lou. Hey it rhymed, give me a dime. It ain't a crime if you had a good time.
