Being low early in the season has it's advantages - I was able to get DeMarco and Tebow before you successful teams did! Sometimes it pays to suck.

Oh boy, I'm leading going into MNF with Torrey Smith still to play! And I didn't even start my rbs or a te.

jordan and i going toe to toe fairly close down to the wire: me with two baltimore idps and him with the baltimore defense and a ten point lead

Hate my team. No idea how I have four wins.

This season's a wash for me, but I may be 4-4 in my other league after tonight (if Vincent Jackson gets less than 14). All hope is not lost!

Testimony to my luck this season (besides being the most scored-against team): in a world of negative-point defenses, I pick up a D (Bills) that scores me a whopping 25 points, only to have my opponent's D score 29!

you have definitely drawn a lot of short straws. Still pissed about you getting demarco tho

Then-again, there have been plenty of luckless people this year. Examples include owners of Jamal Charles, Chris Johnson, Peyton Manning (OK, you were forewarned on that one), any Colt WR, any Jet RB, etc. Long live Fred Jackson!

Hester, Burress or Nate Washington this week?I'm thinking hester just because of the return yards but Burress might just have a big day
― google sluething so hard right now (forksclovetofu), Friday, 4 November 2011 17:49 (twelve years ago) link
i don't know... i'm still really skeptical about burress. touchdowns are really fickle unless you're like megatron or andre johnson and even last week he didn't really do anything outside of the 10 yard line so idk. but it's not like the other 2 guys are that great. i don't see hester doing much on the receiving end vs the eagles.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 November 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
thing about hester is he'll either unexpectedly drop 27 pts or give you 4 pts. nate wash had those 2 tds but not many catches, right? i think the best receivers will get you good pts even without TDs, wash and plax w/o the tds aren't spectacular. i dunno.
― omar little, Friday, 4 November 2011 18:01 (twelve years ago) link
i feel like hester is kinda guaranteed to come through with 7 or 8 points and burress or washington could goose egg or put up 18.

i think you're right about hester being shutdown offensively though i imagine he'll be targeted. i do think he'll put up 100+ return yards tho
― google sluething so hard right now (forksclovetofu), Friday, 4 November 2011 18:05 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i'd go w/ hester. the return yards will be there and he should be able to pick up some receiving yards as well. that's about as solid as you can hope for out of those 3 guys.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 November 2011 18:06 (twelve years ago) link
hester is the safe bet, plus he might nab a lucky deep td a la devery hendu.

Hey gang, don't know if other people are seeing this as well, but the add/drop seems not to be working. As of 12:05PM NYC we aren't allowed to add or drop players until after this weekend (Nov. 9th). Guess it must have to do with their programming and Daylight Savings Time. I tried to add David Hawthorne and drop Sean Lee (just announced as out) and it won't let me. Anyone else seeing this?
― kebya, Sunday, 6 November 2011 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
OK, it appears Yahoo screwed up, there are many rants over on the message board. Looks like they did messup on Daylight Savings Time.

had a problem but i kept refreshing the screen until it worked

this was a connection problem btw and not dst

Refreshing still isn't solved it here - all available players are noted as on Waviers (not Free Agents), so they're not available to pickup until Nov. 9th.

For my other league, would you start:
Cam Newton @ DetroitCarson Palmer @ MinnyorAlex Smith vs. Arizona
― polyphonic, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:01 (twelve years ago) link
palmer imo, he has scored well in his 2 starts. niners prob won't need to throw. newton has highest upside but biggest gamble. if you are desperate for a result go all in with newton.
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:37 (twelve years ago) link
Newton's rushing adds so much, that's why I struggle with this.
Last week Palmer outscored Newton 17-14 even though Palmer had a far superior game.

I had to go with Ponder this week in a pinch. I've been riding Brees so long, I'd forgotten he hadn't had a bye week yet.
