Also in my other league I lost by 1.5 points because Chris Johnson can't get more than 2.5 points in a game where his team scored 44 points!
Didn't he have like -18 rushing yards in OT?
In my only other league, I need about 400 yards and 5 TDs from Rodgers to win, otherwise I'll be 2-1. I was projected to win by 50, gonna lose by ~20 most likely. Doesn't help I played Mark Ingram AND Brian Hartline.
Was ahead by exactly 11 with all my players done and my opponent having Rodgers remaining. Figured a loss was inevitable but Rodgers ends up with a measly 10.62
Lost both, here I just got beat. The other my guys played well enough to win but the other team was great. In my other league, I am 1-2 but at least I play an 0-3 team this week. In that league, my roster is strong, but my main issues are Gates needs to start performing and I still need to figure out my receiver situation, that is the one weak spot of the team. Standard 12 team league.
Start 3 WR's:
WR1: Marshall
WR2: Crabtree (pretty much has himself locked in the lineup)
WR3: Jeffrey, T. Young, Meachem, M. Williams (need someone to step up)
I have Mendenhall on the bench, who reportedly is looking great. I'd hate to lose the RB depth but if he has a good game or two, I may have to package him with one of my receivers for a good receiver if someone doesn't step up by then.

Well damn, not a lot there. What's in FA for RBs and WRs? Andre Brown? Mikel LeShoure?
I've got running backs coming out of my ass. Those two guys you mentioned would never start for me anyway, maybe instead of Mendenhall in bye weeks. There ain't **** on free agency, guys like that were long gone over a month ago. I guess I just stand pat and stick with the strategy, I'm 3rd of 12 overall in points, just need to stop playing teams on their best week. If Gates could just stop playing like a sissy, the WR2 and WR3 can get 4 points each and I'm golden. Brees has given me a tremendous advantage in this league, QB TD are worth 6 PTS....and he hasn't even got going yet. This is a championship team if I can find a good WR2 and Gates shows up at least once in a while.
Benching Brandon Marshall in my other league this week in favor of Erik Dekker (vs OAK) and Torrey Smith (vs CLE). Have a feeling our passing game is going to get shut down this week...will have to win on defense and with special teams.
You talking about the same Mendenhall who is yet to play a down this season? And just generally, isn't very good.
He's a bench player, just like Leshoure and Brown. 1000-1250 YDS and 10-11 TDs on average isn't very good? Leshoure and Brown aren't going play at that pace. But you guys think MJD is a scrub and Martin a bust, who the hell is good?

Their strong safety blew his achilles, and their other starting safety is also going to miss his game. If Cutler can buy any time at all, Marshall should tear their secondary up.

That's all I was making sure of. We're on the same page now.
Cut Cutler for Ponder in 1 league. He was an 11th rounder, so I wasn't all that invested in him anyways. If he turns it on in the 2nd half, I'm sure he'll still be there, as my league is packed with haters.
That's all I was making sure of. We're on the same page now.
Yeah, at the same time, if he proves he is back where he was health wise, I can deal him for a wideout but I'll gut my depth. There are number of teams rocking 3, even 4 top 30 WR's but starting guys off the waiver wire at RB2. My best hope is for Mendenhall to come back, have a couple games around 90-100 YRDS, a couple TD's and deal to one of those teams. Or just play the WRs I have and hope for the best. I'm not seeing the depth at wideout in free agency though.
