Why thank you, Mason Crosby!

Oh sure, I bench DeAngelo in two leagues and this is the week he finally decides to show up. Likewise for Knowshow Moreno.

Moreno just got really lucky with long run on a screen. Other than that he was nowhere to be seen. I only started him because I've got a really sh*tty RB situation. I don't understand why they aren't giving him any carries. Maybe they're just trying to wear out McGahee.

He's the change of pace back. They like the physicality of McGahee. And, frankly, Moreno's not all that good.

My schitzo team has bounced from lowest to highest back to lowest this week in FFL2. It's definitely going to be a long season.

Alright, if Marion Barber and Dane Sanzenbacher can stay within 14 points of Jahvid Best and the Lions D, I can actually win this week. A week when I had to start Marion Barber, Knowshon Moreno, Dane Sanzenbacher and Jacoby Jones. I might end up the king of winning by an asshair.

How do you change the pace by not giving the change of pace back any carries?

Well, he's been battling that hamstring injury, but I just don't think Fox and company trust in him. The only time I expect Moreno to get carries is when they're ahead and want to rest McGahee ... and that doesn't happen. McGahee is just playing too well and is better built for a workload. The "change of pace" is because Moreno's fast than McGahee, but McGahee's been killing it. The fact the Broncos just keep sucking and playing from behind means that Moreno will continue to ride the bench. That is, until McGahee gets injured. We'll see.

Ignore Moreno's 1st round status drafting, as that was a McDaniels draft. Wait for him to put up some fantasy point and trade him.

Bears D + 5ish points vs. Jahvid Best to settle the Guzzlers and the Peeps...

Have to like the DET vs. CHI flavor to the matchup

Good luck, Peeps!

So, maybe I missed this, but why is the GWJFFLX league always on waivers? Or is it another one of those things where after this first week, it will open up to free agency?

All free agency is through bidding.

Bids process on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so if you want to get someone after the initial Thursday bids process, you can put in bids (even $0 bids) to process on the next day's processing period, right up to game day Sunday.

FleaFlicker's setup of bidding with non-bidding free agency afterwards is unusual, and it was also non-customizable, so there was no choice to do it any other way.

I kind of hate Jahvid Best right now.

Oh god, that pass that Sanzenbacher just dropped probably would have won me my FFL3 match.

Yeah, I lost by 0.3 points. All because I started the wrong Jacoby.

I am in complete disbelief about what's going on with both my teams. I mean, really, wow.

Couldn't be happier than getting such production out of my 49ers, and winning.

Week 6 thread to be posted once Fleaflicker has projections. (This is but one of the reasons I usually make the new thread in the evenings, but I had a couple minutes to kill this morning.)

Bros Before Shiancoes barely holds on to win again, this week against the Afghan Rednecks. I was leading going into MNF with Sanzenbacher going against Stafford. Sanz got me just enough to offset Stafford's night. Stafford's Int is the difference, since I only won by 1.95 pts.

(2-0) since the name change went into effect. It's all about the Bro-Code.

I thought I was going to go 3-1 this week. Stupid Jahvid Best.

See. Javhid Best ruins everything.

Garion's Gruntz (4-1) 126.65 vs No More Room in Hell (2-3) 124

That had to have hurt.

Neener Neener

I would just like to point out that my X-league team, who were all Jaguars this week due to the Cowboys bye and my failure to participate in free agency, outscored two other teams.

I don't care what the standings say, that's a W.

Damn search bar took me to the wrong time...
