My injury report is slowly turning around. I'll have to avoid looking at the fantasy for the rest of the day so I can enjoy the tivo later...

Holy shit, practically my entire team is on a Bye this week.

But right now I'm second in the league! This has never happened before. I'm not going to lie, you guys have made this important to me over the years because you are important to me, and I genuinely want to win.

Resistance is futile

classicman · 10-21-2015, 03:07 PM

I won a game. My season is now complete.

Griff · 10-22-2015, 06:58 AM

See, set those expectations low enough...

I had a nice run for six weeks getting very lucky with replacements for injuries but I do believe my duct tape lineup win streak is about to end. I took a few fliers this week hoping to catch a bit of luck, but I think Ruff Riders are going to put up serious points.

I think it would be nice to have a second q-back who actually gets to play, let alone a third in a line of 'good.'

That's what I get for missing the draft, I suppose. I got saddled with Brady which gave me a giant "haaahahahhaaaaaaaa" when he was allowed to play but I have no one else.

3-4 q-backs on a team seems a bit much. But hey, I'm hanging in there despite a shit team and no reliable comp time (by hanging in I mean I'm not in last place like I expected...so I'll take it.)

I just let the computer choose my team for me. Only the one QB, but many of my other players are pretty good for their position, and I'm winning more than I'm losing, so it's a strategy that seems to work.

infinite monkey · 10-22-2015, 11:57 AM

What will you do for his bye week?

Clodfobble · 10-22-2015, 11:59 AM

Lose, I'm assuming.

Oh snap!

glatt · 10-22-2015, 01:35 PM

You guys suck.

So I'm an idiot. I somehow forgot the second QB I had. I have Cousins and Cam Newton. Bye weeks are still a pain because it still leaves a slot open with only two guys.

lumberjim · 10-22-2015, 02:23 PM

you guys DO know that you can sign free agents throughout the year to fill in on bye weeks, right? and if a starter gets hurt, the backup is usually available. In our league, you have 2 slots that will accept a QB, and QBs score more than any other player, so you really should have 2 GOOD qbs and a 3rd to fill in. try to make sure that both your qb's arent on bye at the same week.

lumberjim · 10-22-2015, 02:27 PM

I'm facing The Farting Toads this week...and he's favored by 40+. Fuck it. I'm going Cowboy up, and will defeat him. I will exceed projections by 20%. Oh yes, I will. Ooorah

or even offer a trade from a depth position...

I'm gonna bet on some cowboy mojo this week. I'll lose my bet though.
