GWJFFL 2015 - Week 8

Grumps leads me by 4.4 points. I have Gano tonight. Need a couple FGs or several XPs.

I made two "last minute" calls.

Aaron Rodgers vs Denver or Carson Palmer vs Cleveland. At halftime, I was doubting my decision to start Palmer. He exploded in the 2nd half and did very well for me. Rodgers sh*t the bed against a very good defense.

Dez Bryant vs Seattle or Brian Hartline vs Arizona. I started Hartline once or twice while Dez was injured. I wasn't 100% earlier this week that Dez would play and he was going up against a good secondary with a bad QB, but Hartline is a bad receiver with a bad QB against a good secondary. Go with the star player. Dez ended up with 2 catches for 12 yards. At one point, Hartline had 2 catches for 12 yards.... and 2 TDs (ended up with 4 for 32 and 2 TDs).

Can't win 'em all.

10 mins before the game I was looking to pick up an extra player. Almost claimed DeAngelo before the game. Almost. For zero.

Another Sunday down, another Sunday I didn't bother checking my fantasy scores.

Sundays are for watching games, not fantasy scores. I don't check scores until Monday at the earliest.

Fantasy football is what you play during the week when there's no real football happening.

Son of a... Keenan Allen out now.

No matter what I do at QB in Pro, it seems I'm doomed. Peyton Manning a total dud. I start Mariota week 6 and he sucks it up and gets hurt. McCown this week, same story. Am I personally cursing these QBs to do poorly? Should I quit fantasy football? Starting to feel bad if my aura of bad fantasy mojo might be hurting guys careers.

I have Dalton (#3 QB in points) on my bench, sent you a trade proposal.

Thanks for making it easy for me and entertaining my constant complaining about my QBs.

You cursed Dalton. He is now reverted to his pre-2015 form. Congrats.

I friggin' warned you guys.

Thursday is a primetime game, but it is against Cleveland and on NFL network, so does that count as primetime Dalton or not?

I have him in my non-GWJ league. Honestly had him at the draft and just kept him "in case" the last few weeks. I was considering dropping him a couple times but our waiver wire didn't have anyone great to pick up over there, so I just held on for the hell of it.

I trust Andy Dalton about as little as anyone else, but he's the #3 scoring QB so far this year. I don't know how dropping him could even be a consideration. At minimum, that's a trade value commodity.

He sure is bailing me out in Keeper with Andrew Luck stinking the place up. Spent all that money on Luck, and I have the #3 and #5 scoring QBs with Dalton and Bortles instead.

Huh? Look at the quote. I was replying to karmajay about Deangelo Williams, who is now a starting RB again.

Ah, I read the post above yours about Dalton and didn't notice that your blockquote was of karma's post and not Leap's.

lol, Kaepernick being benched for Blaine Gabbert

Of course Graham Cano kicks for 14 points to beat me.

So after beating the last undefeated team in D1, I'm now the 1 in both 7-1 and 1-7. Yay fantasy football?

Eventhough I'm leading my division in Keeper League, I don't think my team is good enough to win it all, especially with my already thin WRs now losing Keenan Allen. That said, I'm putting a couple players up for trade with a mind toward future keeper value in return. Those players are Adrian Peterson and Charcandrick West. Send me an offer if interested.

So last week realizing that my kicker was on his bye I picked up Chandler Catanzaro but for some reason it didn't plug him in as K after dropping my current kicker, it does this with defenses but not with kickers. I didn't get around to checking until after Chandler's game had started. In a hurry I had to pick up a kicker, my choices were either Graham Gano or Dan Bailey, I kicked myself all of Sunday for not picking Bailey as he would have given me the win but due to some extraordinary circumstances Gano ended up getting me the points I needed. I would have lost by 1.6 if Chandler had started as he was supposed to, but either of my emergency choices would have delivered the W.

I feel like I should apologize to Bill Bonney for beating him in Pro. I didn't feel like I deserved that one, and went to bed after halftime of the Monday night game assuming Moncrief wouldn't even get me the half point I needed to win.
