Couldn't fit the full name.

Demaryius Targaryen: The Untackled, Queen of the Footballs and the First Downs, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Field, Mover of Chains, and Mother of Dragging Both Feet Inbounds.

Boy, glad I didn't draft that washed up high mileage Marshawn Lynch. He looked like a pitiful old man out there tonight.

One of the problems with owning multiple teams, I own him here, and was up against him in my other league.

Also the questions weren't about the talent, just whether he could hold up over the season. He's at that age.

It's the team logo that gets me. If only there was a way to add a blonde wig...

Alternate logo (NSFW)

DON'T CLICK IT!

Some things cannot be unseen.

You mean the depressed Russell jersey one from the back? ;)

Oh. Oh. You mean this.

It should be noted that, since that incident, I have not had a single losing fantasy football team. 15 fantasy teams from 2010-2013, 14 playoff teams, and the 15th a 7-6 team missing the dance on a tiebreaker.

NEVER. AGAIN.

How in the hell did I miss this the first time it was posted. I just spent 5 minutes laughing my ass off in my office at work.

Playing against Lacy in GWJ........but own him in the other 3 leagues. STAY AWAY FROM MOLLY EDDIE!

Irrelevant since apparently GB would rather pass on the elite Seattle secondary than run...

Mike Wallace with 2 catches and fumble. Sitting at -2 in my non-GWJ league since we don't have PPR or tenths of a point for yards, and he only has 9 yards gained. Very annoying. Needs some more balls thrown his way.

Gerhart injured and out of the game. Looks like I'm only getting 1.2 points out of that starting position. Ugh.

Also surprise of week 1 is undrafted Allen Hurns in Jax. 3 catches, 101 yards, 2 TDs, starting for the injured Cecil Shorts.

I have him on my bench in pro. Almost started him when I heard he was starting, but of course I didnt...

Good news is that ankle injury is reportedly a sprain. His return in this game is questionable but at least it doesn't look like a serious injury.

EDIT: And Gerhart is back in. Ankle injury appears to be nothing.

Well Nugent has 18 points for me. Should have broke 20 but he just got blocked on a FG.

Cordarrelle Patterson blowing up today too.

Looks like in my non-GWJ league he is playing.

But in D1 here, he's on TMNB's bench.

Tough match up when everyone of your players has to do extremely well to win a match up. And a few of mine didn't so looks like the heavies may take it this week!

I don't see that happening but it would be nice. I need too many questionable guys to put up decent numbers and Denver to not kick FGs to win. I left a lot of the bench but who could have predicted that Locker would outplay Foles?

Charles and Martin both laid eggs for me in Dynasty.

Bleh, Charles and Forte did the same for me in keeper.

EDIT: OK, Forte didn't lay an egg, but his performance was still less than I expected vs the freaking Bills.

170 yards and 8 catches... what exactly were you expecting?!

Can we talk about Julius Thomas for a moment?

Oh my. Somehow I am at the top of both my FF leagues this week. Madness! I thought I had crap teams!

I felt like he was the TE to target if you were spending a pick on an elite TE.

There will be famine games as every Manning target goes through, but he's a player in his own right, not just someone feasting on the Manning opportunity.

Seeing his potential coming out of Portland State is one of Denver's biggest scouting "hits" in recent years, IMO. He's that classic basketball-player-turned-tight-end. And Denver deserves a lot of credit for the patience shown in developing him. He was drafted in 2011 as an extremely raw prospect, lost most of that offseason to the lockout, lost a lot of 2012 to ankle injury, and throughout all that, they were having to teach the kid how to play football, as he only had a single year of college football experience.

GG boogle. No way in hell I could beat Megatron and Julius Thomas this week.

I had a lead in my non-GWJ league. Stafford buried me.

I now need 29 points from Novak the kicker tonight to tie.

I need 37 points + whatever the Cards defense gets from Ryan Mathews. There's a high chance he doesn't get that all season.

Raaaaaahhhh.

Was down 50 points in my money league coming into tonight, he had bush, I had Jennings, Megatron, and Michael Flloyd tonight. Looking good so far
