    I was solid, in a 14 team league, which is what was pissing me off.

    Lacy
    Bernard
    Hilton
    Sanders
    A. Johnson (also killing me)

    Bench:
    Golden Tate
    Hawkins
    Crowell

    That was the issue, I have bad RB depth, but wasnt willing to trade Lacy for anything that wasnt another top RB. So, obviously no one would do it. I tried trading a WR for some RB depth, but no one was biting.

    I was as well. 3 of my 4 losses were to teams who had their highest scoring week, and the other loss was a stat correction the following Thursday. They let me go three days thinking I had won and then changed it on me hours before the next week began.

    QB: Ryan
    RB: Bell, Lacy
    WR: Jeffery, VJackson, Randle
    TE: Walker

    BN: Gerhart, Ingram, GJennings, JGordon

    I hate fantasy sports. My first round pick never turns out. 2013: TRich, 2012: Calvin Johnson (only 5 TD's), 2011: Peterson (blew out his knee), 2010: Brees (2nd lowest QBR in 9 years with Saints, most INT's in career), 2009: Matt Forte (4 total TD's), 2008: Ryan Grant (5 total TD's)

    It's quite ridiculous how my first round pick never turns out. Not saying that they were pathetic like TRich (Calvin had a ton of yards in 2012), but didn't provide the performance that their pick warranted. Dumb

    This times a million. I don't know why I do it to myself. It makes me so mad I think I am going to need Xanex or something. I like gambling on the games so much. Have had a ton of success over the years but for some reason I still play fantasy and it just pisses me off every week.

    My whole team is filled with average/inconsistent fantasy players.
    I'd go Gore and M. Floyd (assuming you mean Michael, and not Malcolm).

    If you mean Malcolm, I'm going Gore and TWill.

    I've had similar issues with the #1 pick.

    Last year, in our league, my top bid win was Trent Richardson.

    In 2012, it was Calvin Johnson, same as you. Lots of yards, but his TDs were WAY down for a #5 overall pick.

    In 2011, it was Rashard Mendenhall (LOL).

    In 2010, it was Andre Johnson (86 catches, 1200 yards, 8 TDs). Pretty good, but catches were lowest in 3 years, and yards per game were lowest in 4 years. This probably ended up being the best in that stretch, but it was about 25 catches and 400 yards under projection.

    In 2009, it was Brian Westbrook. Hurt 8 games, and finished the year under 300 rushing yards.

    I'm lucky that if I miss on my first round or 2 rounds of guys I normally draft very well is other rounds to make up for it. 3 years ago(I think) I went Charles in the 1st round and Peyton in the 2nd. This was the year Charles got injured in the first game and Peyton decided not to play at all. I ended up losing in the championship that year.

    This year I completed fucking failed after the first 2 rounds(save face for Roddy White in the 5th and Reggie Wayne in 10th) I hate every pick I made after taking Forte in the 1st and Murray in the 2nd round. I did pick up Gordon off waviers so I'll have him eventually. but still I've dropped 6 out of 17 of my draft picks.

    If anyone on this topic is a college basketball fan and degenerate gambler, check out the fantasy league in the CBB forum.

    Figured I would post in here for the people who dont venture over that way.

    In a keeper/PPR league, someone offered me Golden Tate and Vernon Davis for Kaepernick, who's on my bench. Tate has been netting some decent points while Davis has been hurt. He has Romo who's been getting steadily better, so I'm not sure what his motive is.

    Has GTate been on his bench as well?

    In a PPR league of mine, I have a flex spot up for grabs between Brandin Cooks and Michael Floyd. Floyd seems like the bigger TD threat. Cooks is probably the candidate for more catches, though.
  • Laley23
    (PPR)Forsett or Crowell??
    (PPR)Michael Floyd or Jeffery??
    (Non-PPR)Golden Tate, A. Johnson or TY Hilton??
  • Azubuike24
    Forsett
    Jeffery
    Tate

    PPR: Michael Floyd (ARI) or Brandin Cooks (NO)?

    Picked a good week to give up on Kendall Wright.
  • gerb131
    6 yards and a fumble for Shady. Been sticking with him but yowza.

    I needed a defense and picked up the Browns against the pathetic Titans offense.

    Had to pick up a defense last week, so I picked up Philly. The scored 26 points.

    Hung onto them and started them again this week.

    All correct choices, unfortunately the saves on the app didn't hold. I got fucked. Oh well, might still win all 3 leagues.
  • GOONx19
    I moved to 2-3. Went up against Peyton, but I have Demaryius and Sanders.
  • Iliketurtles
    Ugh I should have just listened to my gut and switched out Roddy White and put Ellington in... And should have played the Chargers over the Lions for my Defense. I still have a chance to win but I'm really going to be sweating it. Need Gio to get less than 110 rushing yards and him and Gostkowski to get less than 12 points lol.
  • SportsAndLady
    Beasting this week but haven't sealed up a win quite yet.

    Have 135 points and have vereen and desean Jackson left.

    Opponent has 85 with Russ Wilson Percy harvin and gostkowski left.
  • O-Trap
    I should be 3-0 this week, but thanks to Michael Floyd and Michael Craptree both blowing the goat and Rashad Jennings dying, I'm going to lose in one league. I even had Peyton and Eddie Lacy in that league.
  • jmog
    I am going to be the 2nd highest scoring team this week...and lose (2nd time this has happened this year).

    I will fall to 2-3 but am 2nd in total points for the season.

    Our league pays out more to the top couple teams in points than it does the playoff champion, so I am "ok" with it so far.
  • TBone14
    Got a win despite starting the disappointment train of:

    Jimmy Graham
    Brandon Marshall
    Cordarrelle Patterson

    And leaving Kendall Wright on the bench.

    Other league...down 9 and have Percy going PPR. The other guy has Morris. Hopefully the Hawks totally shutdown Morris and hold him to 5-ish and Percy goes for 15+ and steal a victory.
  • gport_tennis
    I am down 71 pts going into tonight, I have Garcon and Morris...I lose.

    My Opponent this week has: Peyton, V Jackson, Dez Bryant, Kelvin Benjamin, L bell, Pierre thomas, t kelce, and steven jackson. All scored well over their average except for benjamin
