I just took a flier on Earl Bennet. The guy was a bright spot on the Bears team that got whooped by the Packers in the playoffs and has been kicking butt all pre-season. I think this could be a breakout season for him. He might turn out to be a good WR3.
Wow, what a game last night. Rodgers really spread the ball well. It's a tough game to call which receiver is going to be his third favorite target. I figured it would be a toss up between Driver and Nelson but Cobb looked really good in limited time. He's the dark horse right now. I don't think he'll offer anyone the consistency they need in a fantasy game to be rostered and relied on at certain times but you never know what might happen...
It's never a bad move to have a guy stashed on the bench, we have a ton of spots on there.
This pretty much sums up Cobb's play against the Saints' defense on Thursday night:
Why isn't there a flex position in this league? 3rd WR = WR/RB
No reason beyond the fact that standard Yahoo leagues do not use a flex position.
My team is having a tough time out of the gate. Yikes, there's always week 2.
It's so much better though.Apollo wrote:
I want to use Forte, AP and Charles.
Hey, you should have drafted more receivers.
You could always trade one of them if you think you're log jammed. Me, I think you can't have enough good RBs. You never know when somebody is going to go down long term.
Just looking at the box scores and wow, Cam Netwon killed it today. That was a record rookie debut. He was facing a weak passing defense but still, very impressive. Too bad it did nothing to make room for DeAngelo Williams in the trenches. It will happen if Cam can keep making an impact though.
I have enough depth at WR. I think my team is pretty loaded TBH. I just need a backup QB since manning will most likely be out for a while but that's not a huge concern right now...
BTW My bench pwned my starters this week. :|
Tobert 28.30 PTs, Forte 21.80 pts, Nelson 13.70......
While AP = 10.40, Charles = 11.50, Manningham = 4.9
Eh, I still scored 110 pts and I still got a win so I'm not that sad.

Applo get prepared for next week.

Sure. Ready. It's too bad you're the one I need to make an example of after doing poorly in week one.
Amendola done for the season
Jorge Garbajosa's leg immediately comes to mind.
Hey Mack,
You better hope your CB scores some points for you tonight, because I might be able to pull this one out with the Pats playing tonight.
McCourty is good for two pick 6's off Henne tonight, BOOK IT! I wish... I think you're taking me out.
News Flash: Wes Welker is the man
We just recieved news which confirms that Wes Welker is in fact the man. I repeat Wes Welker is the man. Wow, talk about what seems to be an improbable come from behind victory by yours truly. McFadden needs to post 27.01 points tonight for Iggy to recapture the lead over me. I was down by almost 20 before the Monday games started and only had Welker and two IDPs remaining to pull me back from the death.
Props to the rookie, jbml, for totally killing it Cam Newton style during week 1.
Injury woes
Wow, some significant injuries in week two. The Cowboys got nailed with two. Romo with the cracked rib and Jones with the dislocated shoulder. They will be back to play this season. This guy:
Not likely. Thomas Jones and Dexter McCluster will have to carry the load. McCluster looked more productive, Jones got more carries. Jones is 33 years old. With guys like Ricky Williams and Willis McGahee being a UFA in the off-season its tough to feel sorry for the Chiefs. It's very easy to feel sorry for Charles though. He's one of the most exciting players in the league. Fingers crossed for a full recovery on that blown ACL.
In other news, Arian Foster is killing me right now... Two weeks in a row now I should have started Tate. White and Turner are off to big starts. I need them both to have breakout games to win this week.
I love the way people overreact to shitty guys having great weeks! But I guess we have enough roster slots for them so whatever...
Yeah and hey, Hillis and Lloyd made zero impact last season when they came out of nowhere.
This is true... I grabbed Lloyd last year around this same time... But Erin Decker? Early Doucet? I just noticed you grabbed my Sean Lee =P! lol Damn he's gonna be a baller, people been sleeping on him. Got him in another league, but he was a standout at PSU! Wait til we get Bruce Carter(Rookie, North Cakalaka) into the system this year.
I'm just so happy football is back on. Anybody catch that Bills/Raiders game this past weekend? I was there and it was the most nuts game I've ever been to. The whole stadium was standing for the whole game(no lie, nobody sat!) and it was deafening! They had one of those 360 degree camera shots of the stadium at halftime too, we actually knew it was there so we knew it was taking the pic. The one downside of the game was that we spent the whole, and i mean WHOLE(15:00-0:00) second quarter waiting in line for a beer!
Bout to catch the replay at 12 tonight, see how many time I catch myself on cam during those couple XP's in our endzone!
I'm 2-0 and psyched! Feel free to talk your ish here! lol
Awesome story. You picked a good game to watch. I bought into Nelson this week. The Bills are decimated with injuries at WR and this kid is 6'5" with good hands and some speed. I think he could be a big surprise with the Bills always being down and being forced to air it out. Fingers crossed on him. I have officially given up on Rice. The longterm shoulder injury, the Seahawks... Ugh, talk abiut a waste of a pick.
Yea the Nelson pick I can agree with, Fitzy looks like he'll throw to anyone at anytime! As much as I don't really give a S#!+ about the Bills, it's nice to see them back on track, at least a little! It's a bit of a feel good story, and since we live so close and some of my best buds are Bills fans, it's hard to root against them.
Here's a link to the 360 pic: http://www.buffalobills.com/fans/fancam091811.html
I'm about 9 rows about the goal post, behind the dude in the Howie Long jersey sandwiched between my Raider bud and Bills bud(under jumbotron)... Seems like we're the only ones in the crowd that knew the cam was on us! I took off my Cowboy garb for 3 hours in support of my friend, he was so upset he left with like 4 minutes to go! #Idiot(but his team did lose...)
