lol at some faggot in another league wanting to trade me Braylon Edwards for Matt Forte. My counter offer was Forte for Larry Fitzgerald.

Man, having a tough time deciding my lineup this week. Mostly I just hate to leave Steve Smith (NYG) on the bench, but the matchups for Sims-Walker and Hines Ward are very good this week. I am even tempted to see what Mike Bell will do, but it is probably wiser to see how he does after being out for a while.

Any thoughts?

Come on KR, break it down!

 

[King Richard]

I would start Steve Smith over that Walker homo.

 

[The Ozzman]

Never bench Ray Rice. EVER.

 

[AchrisK]

I can't believe I started Steve Smith (NYG) over Hiney Ward. Ward got almost 27 points! Smith got just over 6. Welker better come through!

 

[Dak]

Looks like I will finally get a win, now that the real Drew Brees showed up, and showed up ALL OVER the NY Midgets.

 

[King Richard]

I can't believe I started Steve Smith (NYG) over Hiney Ward. Ward got almost 27 points! Smith got just over 6. Welker better come through!

I told you to start Smith over Walker, not Smith over Ward. wtf?

 

[AchrisK]

Smith was the loser this week. Welker is going to have way more points than Ward.

Currently: NE 59, Ten 0

I dismissed your advice pretty much right away.

It's my own fault for being swayed away from my initial feelings. NE at Ten. Welker is a no-brainer. Pit at Cle, Ward should have been a no-brainer. But I looked at some rankings for week 6, all of which had Smith over Ward. My gut told me it was gonna be a tough day for Smith against NO. But the real problem was that the highest stats for the NYG receivers went to some WR named Nicks, who is 3rd in the depth chart for WR1.

No matter, I am winning this week.

Go MORT!!!

 

[King Richard]

I noticed you voted against me again this week. Envious much? =P

 

[AchrisK]

Purely based on my desire for all 4-1 teams to lose, allowing me to take 1st place.

I was a little premature to predict my victory, but as long as Rivers can get me about 4 points tomorrow night, I got it!

You, on the other hand, are in a more precarious situation.

 

[King Richard]

How so? I'm currently up 35.72 points with a running back and kicker to play still and Mort has basically his QB left. Turner doesn't seem to be gaining many points in this game because of the Bears' run defense. I think I'm good tbh.

 

[The Ozzman]

Too bad you still suck at life.

 

[AchrisK]

Yeah, Mort probably can't catch up, unfortunately. I thought he might have had a chance, but that was before SNF.

But some of your wins this season are suspect.

 

[King Richard]

A win is a win sucka.

 

[AchrisK]

I am protesting the -3 pts given to QBs for a sack. It's not usually even their fault. The D already gets point for sacks. I think -3 is too much. The league default is 0. I think -1 at the most is applicable.

I know, I should have looked over our scoring scheme before the season started. Maybe it would not be fair to change it now.

 

[King Richard]

I'll take that into consideration. I think next season is going to be the most fun fantasy season ever. I've got a lot of interesting tweaks in store for you guys.

 

[AchrisK]

So you're considering doing this again? That's cool. It would be nice to have more people from here in it, and active.

 

[Dak]

Rick is about to be 5-2 next week ~

 

[AchrisK]

^YEAH BABY, YEAH!

edit: You both have some pretty good matchups, but I think Dakryn's is better. He has 2 strong Charger players facing KC, a Indy receiver facing Stl, TE facing Was, NYJ RB facing Oakland...

Rick is in trouble...
