Should probably remind everyone that the $100 has to last the whole season so maybe don't bid it all on week 1 pickups.

But with this going up 5 hours before picks, people have probably already done it.

I know it was a lot but I have too many #2 and #3 receivers due to the line up changes. With a broken cast of RBs and Amendola starting his 50% health run for the season, he can be a #1 rcvr for Brady. With my luck he gets hurt also though! Guaranteed someone put 1 60 bid up for him.

FTFY

How much did you bid?

Putting Brandon Jacobs in my back pocket just in case him and Wilson somehow become good handcuffs.

Hm, got Dallas Clark free. I'll take it.

Was kind of surprised Hankerson was free, too. Might as well, although I'm already starting Garcon.

I wanted to grab Hankerson but got caught up at work and missed him.

I didn't make any drastic moves in Keeper or Dynasty. I'm looking toward the future here and like the longevity of some of the younger players on both my teams. I already had Marlon Brown on my Keeper team before week 1 which now makes me look brilliant, but I was watching that whole situation before the season started.

In my non-GWJ league someone just dumped Lewhatever Bell. Put in for him asap. Such short sighted people. Love it.

Ugh. Losing in week 1 to Peyton Manning while disappointing, is understandable. Losing Vereen and Amendola to injury could be the early death knell for my team.

He sure looks like a great short term guy right now with Jacoby Jones out 4-6 weeks.

He could be more than that. He's a talented player - an elite prospect coming out of high school - whose college career was marred by injuries that kept him off the field. He's big and fairly fast, but he tore his ACL halfway through his senior season, and injuries in prior seasons kept him from being a full-time starter before then. He didn't run at the Combine or the Georgia Pro Day, so he had no 40 time to his name on draft day, and his hands measured small (though drops have not apparently been a big problem of his). But even dealing with knee swelling during preseason, he climbed the Ravens depth chart in a hurry.

I'm just saying, there's a potential player there. He's been productive whenever he's been on the field. A pretty shrewd UDFA flier by GM Ozzie, I think.

In Dynasty, I was torn between picking up him or Ace Sanders last week. I claimed Brown in Keeper this week.

(I almost accidentally picked up Marlon Moore - Fresno State! - instead)

So, last week in Keeper, I lost on the field goal kicked at the very end of the Texans game.

That is, until 1 hour ago...

Hey, I have DeAngelo Williams... I was being shorted 10 rushing yards?

Oh snap! I win!

Wow. Stat correction win. That's better than a Monday Night Miracle.

Darn, should have played Powell tonight.

I won by .15 in the keeper league last week. I saw that stat correction line and I was sure it had to have been my win that was changed.

Edelman had 18 targets last night.

Lest we never forget that Thursday games are mostly garbage for fantasy production. Edelman was the only fantasy starter that was productive, and that's only because we score PPR. I started him in a standard scoring league as a flex player, where he only scored 7 points. I suppose it's better than the donut Lamar Miller put up for me last week in that league, but it was 3 points below his projection.

I posted that mainly to show that it was a worthy waiver wire pickup for me

I picked up Donald Brown today after seeing that Ballard tore his ACL this week. I'm far from excited about it, but Bradshaw has had health issues and my running back situation is dire thanks to the 4 rounds of auto-draft.

Rolling the dice and starting Marlon Brown just paid off. TD!

Same here. Whew.

I cannot believe Aaron Rogers today. Today he has his career day. While I'm playing against him. Only Peyton having a career day can save me now.

RG3 - the "G" stands for garbagetime.

"G"ood enough for me!

Wow. The Seahawks defense got me 17 points and allowed me to win! 1 reviewer and me 0 and Wilson gave me an unsurprising 1.7 points. Can't believe I won.

Am I seriously going to have to make a tough decision next week between starting Ray Rice or Knowshon Moreno? Yikes.

Ugh. My DII and Dynasty teams both put up stinkers.

+1

Still, imagine if he could put up those numbers for an entire game!
