Byes: Ravens, Bills, Bengals, Texans

Thursday: Buccaneers at Vikings

Finally ended the losing streak in Gold, whew.

Platinum's #1 Legion (6-1, 943 PF) v #3 Me (5-2, 1016 PF) should be a really good match. Here's to hoping legion has lots of Ravens, Bills, Bengals, and Texans.

Rashad Jennings for $32. Man I'm desperate, especially since Jones-Drew got injured.

I'm sure others in Silver went for him. How much did you guys put in?

Holy crap!
International Organization of Evil Claimed Rashad Jennings RB JAC ($88) New!

I went $30, that's crazy. Although kaos has a better record than me, so maybe crazy like a fox.

It was Rashad Jennings week down on the farm. Here's how our boy fared across the GWJFFL.

Platinum

  • Preseason 2012 The Heavies Drafted Rashad Jennings RB JAC 9.6 (102nd overall)
  • Week 4 2012 The Heavies Cut Rashad Jennings RB JAC
  • Week 8 2012 International Organization of Evil Claimed Rashad Jennings RB JAC ($88)

Gold

  • Week 1 2012 Grump's Chumps Drafted Rashad Jennings RB JAC 10.2 (110th overall)
  • Week 3 2012 Grump's Chumps Cut Rashad Jennings RB JAC
  • Week 8 2012 Jimmy Clausen, MVP Claimed Rashad Jennings RB JAC ($100)

Silver

  • Preseason 2012 Black Mesa Headcrabs Drafted Rashad Jennings RB JAC 11.3 (123rd overall)
  • Week 3 2012 Black Mesa Headcrabs Cut Rashad Jennings RB JAC
  • Week 8 2012 Tempest Claimed Rashad Jennings RB JAC ($32)

Keeper

  • Preseason 2012 Jeff Goldblum's Malnourished Zygote Imported (Drafted) Rashad Jennings RB JAC

Dynasty

  • Preseason 2012 The Moldavian Massacre Drafted Rashad Jennings RB JAC 10.6 (114th overall)

Other notable transaction include the Denver Broncos going for $18 in Dynasty, Steven Jackson being claimed for $70 in Gold, and Kevin Walter getting picked up for $1, $6, and $11 heading into Houston's bye week.

Why was Steven Jackson taken for $70? Am I missing something? He's been super mediocre for me the whole season.

The reason I blew my load on him is that my other option was to play a RB who has 15 points on the entire season and 10.4 of them three weeks ago. The other 6 weeks of the season, he has a combined 4.6 points (-.6, .6, 1.1, 0, 3.5, 0). Now all my RB have been on bye, so I should be able to ride LeSean McCoy and Fred Jackson the rest of the way.

Also, this week I'm playing the league leading Legion, and this might be a really important matchup when it comes to determining 1st seed, which would be $10. I will spend $88 space bucks for the chance of winning $10 real american dollars every single time.

Ah, thats I get it now. Makes sense. I think the RB situation is bleak for 75% of people.

Sheesh. Yeah I thought $30-ish was a good bid for Jennings. Maybe if I was in silver, but not good enough in gold.

There's absolutely nothing to spend money on in dynasty. So, I decided to add $15 to my standard team/kicker bid for no reason whatsoever.

Are the rules the same in Gold? No matter how disappointing SJax has been this year, I can't imagine having a team so stacked that someone on the FA wire AND the 2nd to last guy on the bench were so much better than SJax that he had to be dropped in the first place.

Rules are the same. I didn't see SJax on the waivers so it's a moot point for me, but I wouldn't have bid more than a random $10 flyer on him either. My RBs in Gold are Ray Rice, Alfred Morris, Stevan Ridley, Mikel LeShoure, Ben Tate, and Brandon Bolden. Bolden is the only one of those I would take SJax over so there would have been no reason for me to bid much on him since I'd never start him anyways.

He only beat me by $5. I bid $83.

Wow, bidding $83 and STILL not getting the guy...never would've thought that would happen!

All three metal (medal?) leagues use the exact same format/rules/etc. (Edit2: Except Platinum has fees and prizes.)

Tell me about it. He was one of only three guys who could have outbid me.

Whoa huge play by Doug Martin for TB. Some lucky people played him tonight.

EDIT: And I should have played Josh Freeman again? Apparently he's waking up.

Man, Thursdays have been good to me this year

Ah, curses upon Doug Martin.

Oops. Left Luck in instead of putting Romo back in. Oh well.

Bye week is killing me. Not a lot of options. At least I won't be kicking myself for playing the wrong guys probably.

Although Philip Rivers failed me again. No TDs against Cleveland? How is that possible?

Apparently it's Josh Freeman time for me.

The Cleveland Do has been quietly pretty good this year. Their pass rush is pretty damn good.

That said I didn't see a second of that game so I really don't know what happened.

Holy. Crap.

4 players done so far, and I am already at 98 points.

Martin (TB) and Gronk got 71 points between them. Another 20 points from Green and Sanders.

Yes it did. Might stick with it.

Peyton going off as expected managed to make up for the fact that Dexter McCluster on my bench outscored Cruz and Antonio Brown combined.

Alright, I need 26 points out of Akers and the Niners D. I'm getting really tired of my receivers putting up sh*t numbers lately.

I need Akers and Vernon Davis to outscore Fitzgerald by 13.

If I had played Freeman instead of Rivers, I'd be winning by 4, and just need them to maintain the lead, which might be possible. Oh well.
