Fantasy Rants

[UMFan83]

In my league there is a guy who is absolutely dominating the league right now and just traded for Calvin Johnson and has Adrian Peterson and Josh Gordon chilling on his bench waiting for their returns.

 

He's going to be starting AP, Forte and Lynch at RB in the playoffs with Calvin, Maclin and Josh Gordon at WR

Playing against me in the NSBB league is such a powerful PED that A-Rod has inquired.

about even going into the night games. i have rodgers. he has cutler. the rant is that this should be fantasy glory but i hate this bears game so much i can't enjoy it at all.

Ronnie Hillman is awesome the entire time Montee Ball is hurt so what do the Broncos do? Inexplicably give CJ Anderson twice the carries Hillman had today.

 

So much for that great waiver wire pickup I thought I had.

Supposedly Hillman got dinged during the game. This week has been frustrating. I had him, I dropped the GB defense for KC after Watkins got hurt, Demaryius somehow didn't catch one of Peyton's 5 touchdowns, and my opponent pulled Jared Cook off the scrap heap. I should still win if Maclin and Olsen do what they should, but it's no guarantee.

I was feeling really good in my main league when Dez gave me 27.9 points and several of my opponent's guys were struggling. Then Marshawn Lynch played and I had no shot anymore.

 

And I heard Hillman got dinged, but I'm still really nervous.

stupid garbage time touchdowns. I had a 25 point lead on my opponent entering the 4th quarter of MNF in a critical matchup. He had Newton and Benjamin. The only thing that would beat me was likely 2 Newton to Benjamin TDs. Yup that's exactly what happened. Lost by 2.

The fact that Newton was even in the game was coaching malpractice, so you're well within your rights to call bull [expletive] on that one.

I barely escaped what would have been another disheartening loss or tie. I had a 60 point lead heading into last night and my opponent had Sanchez, Matthews and Olsen. I had Maclin. I figured it was in the bag. Fortunately Maclin got three points and I escaped by two. As chronicled here four weeks ago, my team got a tie when Philadelphia's defense got a sack on the last play of the game when I had 30 point lead with Maclin versus the Philly defense.

 

I hate Philadelphia. Maclin has been great except when he is in a Sunday or Monday night game.

Thanks Denver for ruining my survivor pool.

How is it that everyone on the Broncos got hurt except Demaryius Thomas and C.J. Anderson and yet neither one scored a TD today? The only good thing about football was my 8-2 fantasy team, and because none of my RBs can stay on the field and productive, it's going down in flames.

That FA pickup of Mike Evans a few weeks ago is about the only good thing that has happened to my fantasy team all year. And it was really good today.

I feel your pain. Kept the Denver kicker instead of Green Bay's because I thought the dome in St. Louis was an advantage. Started RG3 instead of Cutler. Bradshaw and Orange Julius hurt. Lost by 3 points.

I chose Montee Ball over Jonas Gray as a bye week starter. Still won, but Gray would've got me high individual scorer bonus money.

The idiot in my league who traded Manning(out of keeper options) and Hillman to the top guy in our league. In return he got a $7 Russell Wilson and $25 CJ Spiller. Neither are likely to be anything but fair market keepers at best.

 

While it was totally obvious for this guy to trade Manning since he was in last place and no longer had keeper rights he sold him to basically the first bidder with no real rush and this guy has been head and shoulders above the competition all year already.

 

Granted Manning just laid an egg this week, but it should give him a boost going forward into the playoffs.

How in the hell is the guy with Manning in last place?

 

Ben Tate's release means I'm stuck with two guys not playing (Spiller the other) who are on keepers. In my league you can't drop keepers, and I'm obviously unable to unload either of them. I'm trying to get Crowell on waivers. Already have West and had Crowell earlier in the season before swapping them. Have no other RB options besides CJ Anderson and Hillman, if he ever comes back. I'm 9-2 and in first right now, but that stupid Browns backfield is going to be the death of me.

That is all.

Technically not last-last place, but tied for last in his division and bottom three (bottom three in points as well)

Roster before his trade:

Peyton Manning

Ben Tate

Ronnie Hillman

Randall Cobb

Percy Harvin

Eric Decker

Owen Daniels

Dan Bailey

Seahawks D/ST D/ST

Reggie Bush

Andre Johnson

Shane Vereen

Darren McFadden

Jerick McKinnon

Ray Rice (presumably he was holding him as a potential keeper? finally dropped him)

Montee Ball

Brian Quick(IR)

 

This guys also won the league last year when he beat me in the Championship game, and we still had a winner-take-all pool.

real fuckin glad i picked up the chiefs d/st this week

real [expletive] glad i picked up the chiefs d/st this week

 

I went searching for them on waivers in all my leagues. Thankfully they were taken already.

Haha, yep that was you.

Welp I lost by 1.9 points last night, marking the 4th time this year I've lost by less than 2 points. How does that happen? 4 losses by less than 2 in 12 games. And the only reason I lost is because Arian Foster and my bye week TE last second decided to miss the game and the emergency pickups I got on Sunday at 11 am combined for 6 points instead of the 30 I was projected to get with Foster and Clay. As a result I am 5-7 despite scoring the 2nd most points in the league.

 

Luckily I'm somehow in 8th place and the only way I don't make the playoffs is if I lose and one team wins. With my luck I'll score 150 points and lose by 2 and the other guy will score 100 points and win.

i'll never play in a league with tenth-points

I used to play in a league with hundredth-points. It was completely ridiculous.
