    I have McCoy and am starting him. He did pretty damn well against the NYJ run defense. Hoping for some swing passes and the such too - PPR in my league. Same could be said for Woodhead though. Tough call.

    I think you're right about this. Rivers scares me (I have him starting for another team) -- I think he can put up numbers no matter who's catching it.

    I'll hold off on thanking you pending the results.

    Going with McCoy -- he's been a more consistent producer. But I think Woodhead will benefit from all the WR injuries.

    What a shitty day. In one league, I started Yeldon on Thursday instead of Doug Martin today. Devonta Freeman was concussed on his third carry and, meanwhile, two guys I traded - Cam Newton and Julio Jones - combined for 66 points. Adding insult to injury, that's 10 points more than my entire team (except NE defense) scored total today.

    In another league, Amari Cooper scored a grand total of 0.4 points and, thus far, Marvin Jones has yet to record a catch. I'm going to need a 30-point game out of Gronk tomorrow to win. Ugh.

    Shitty indeed.
    -West left the game early.
    -Sat James Jones. Anyone would.
    -Sat Russ Wilson. See above.

    Down 25 with Tyrod and LeSean to go tonight. But my opponent also has Sammy Watkins.

    You're still within striking distance at least. Just hope McCoy scores a couple TDs on swing passes.

    I need 30 points out of the New England defense in one league and 31 out of Gronk in another. I'm not betting on either one happening. On to Week 12.

    Had two, count em two, double-digit players, my freaking TE and kicker. Take a bow Delaine Walker and Justin Tucker.

    Elsewhere, Amari Cooper and Danny Woodhead (emergency pickup with two guys on byes) both went goose egg. Randall Cobb wasn't quite useless but sure felt like it when the other guy has James Jones. And in the ultimate dicking, benched Dalton for Carr a week after Dalton burned me when I did the opposite. Goodbye six-game win streak.

    Same here. Six-game win streak is about to end in one league (with Cooper and Cobb hurting me as well). Fortunately, I'm two games ahead of third place, so I'm still a game up for the bye with two weeks to play. But a win this week would have locked it up (I will most likely have the tiebreaker for total points unless I really collapse). Now, I'm going to be sweating the next two weeks.

    Points-wise, this week has been an abject disaster, but there's still a chance I can win two of three games because my opponents all sucked, too.

    Rivers, the Jets defense, Ivory, Gates, Hurns, West, Flacco, Carr -- pretty much everyone killed me. The only reason I have chances to win are the KC defense (started for two of the three teams), Graham Gano and McCoy (I hope).

    In good pick up news, Peyton Manning's injury finally forced me to ditch him for somebody better. Jameis Winston looked like a good matchup against the Eagles so I picked him up and hellooooo, win column.
    Won two in a row (or will if Brady and Amendola don't connect for a TD in the fourth quarter) after a 1-8 start. I should've blown up my roster six weeks ago.

    I won. Barely. 98.92 - 97.40. Highest point total in our league was 118 for the week - PPR.

    So a few weeks back, I posted about scoring the second most points in our league during the week, but I lost by 40. Maybe there's such a thing as fantasy karma, because I somehow won 44-43 this week in a real rock fight with this lineup ...
    Rivers 5 points
    Yeldon 7
    Freeman 4
    Watkins 3
    Cobb 8
    Landry 6
    Gates 0
    Seattle D 5
    Bailey 6

    WOOF. But it counts, right?
