Back in 4-6 weeks...but by then Wilson could solidify himself as a goal line back and you have to worry about Brown being injury prone. I'll still make a deal when he comes back for the right price :D
Can you help a brother out?

I'm interested in Rodgers on your bench... i'll send some proposals
I'll consider it, sure. Might just wait til at least the first week or two has passed though.

My second pick was Demaryius Thomas... who had a whopping 2.3 points at halftime. :!:

By the end of the game, though, I was feeling better about him. :lol:

I've got Eric Decker, the only Bronco not to have a big game.

Although, Ray Rice had a decent game.

The Eric Decker thing had me giggling last night. There's always that one guy that gets the shaft in high-scoring games.

And FYI, I have Welker :clap:

:bump:

Its been an incredibly competitive league so far .. No one running away with it with plenty if not most of the teams in the mix for a playoff spot

It's already been a roller coaster for me .. On top of the mountain for a short while, lost by less than a point to lose the crown, then took a huge nose dive - horrible week facepalm , then a strong bounce back week last week ... And now I'm gunning for bugshot ! ;)

Hopefully we are pretty close in points going into Monday night .. I'd like to see it come down to Adrian vs Eli :thumb:

Made the mistake of playing Minn D last week, who had -3 pts. Lost by 5. facepalm If we had stuck with Baltimore, we would have won and been in sole possession of first place.

Of course jimmy graham also had 0 pts, or it wouldn't have been close. He's on buy this week, so that's going to be rough.

really good day for team bugshot and hard cats

i was hoping for a monday night showdown with the scores pretty close ... but not enough guys on my team today had big games while bugshot had a bunch of guys beat their projections.

unless AP goes off ... and Eli has a terrible game .. i'm taking the loss this week :!:

Believe me we were nervous coming in to this week but a couple of our guys really performed well, better than we expected.

Bugs was a fantasy football ninja with Reed though :thumb:

lol ..it was funny. I knew Graham was on the bye week and you would have to pick someone off the wire - so I was actually thinking I should block you by picking up the best TE on the wire ... but I didn't think there was anyone worth blocking from you. facepalm Very nice pickup by the scoop ninja

I also ended up being happy with my two pickups this week anyway - Randle and Boykin - they are the only two players on my team that actually beat their projection :!:

Someone dropped Reed late, so I put in a claim, but it didn't go through until yesterday. I think peeps just forgot to recheck the waiver wire after Wednesday.

Boykin was awesome today...without him you'd have been in deep doodoo. You've still got a shot. AP can always go off and Eli has been known to turn the ball over on occasion :lol:

I dropped Reed cause I picked him up last week when Gonzalez and Charles Clay were on bye. Both are great TEs and I didn't really need 3. Besides no matter how well the other guys play it's hard to sit Tony G. I was doomed regardless this week cause of the Saints on bye.

I should have made a more major push to trade for him early in the season

I knew he'd be really good when given the chance

I have him in my other league so at least he helped me there

One of my primary draft strategies for this 16 team league was to look for back up RBs most likely to play due to the #1 getting injured. Steven Jackson, as usual, couldn't last 1/4 of the season before getting injured.

My other target was Bryce Brown, thinking LeSean McCoy would go down, but he's been reliable so far. Kelly isn't even giving him many breakers. Brown is only getting about 5 carries a game.
