Actually this is even better proof why it's crazy to bet money on FF
Given that I have Julio and my opponent has the Tampa Bay defense LOL I thought for sure I'd be slaughtering already. They managed 14some point!?!? I tuned out of that game so guess I missed the 3 fumble recoveries, as well as the defensive touchdown. 

I'm totally OK with it, we should reward defenses, just shows why FF isn't worth betting money on. Almost 15 points from a defense that allowed 56 pointsLOL
That said, I feel OK with my autodrafted team. Has worked out so far!

If this team keeps going the way it is; I will be auto drafting every single league I am in.

I hate Thursday games. I work so many hours during the week, I oftentimes forget about Thursday. Forgot today and had Roddy White in as my starter. He sat out this week. Oi.

I'm fine with 3 moves a week,it just surprised me when I tried to make a much needed pick up and couldn't.I don't usually make a lot of moves but my line-up is terrible this season and needs tweaking.

1 injured reserve slot would be great though.

I feel your pain.  Adrian Peterson, Knowshon Moreno, DeSean Jackson, Marques Colston...and after all that trash I talked to my wife before Sunday, she destroys me.  Ouch

I like the three per week limit.  It invites strategy and sometimes requires tough decisions.

There is a 3 player acquisition per week limit. The thought here is to provide enough room for people to pickup free agents and replace injured players while at the same time avoid people abusing the right to pickup and drop as many times as will permits. As a season total you get a total of 48 total acquisitions, a number I thought was adequate. This number, however, can be changed after the draft so if everyone feels the the same way as TheProgtologist let's hear it. The possibility of adding an injured reserve slot so you can save players who will be back late in the season could perhaps ease these tensions as well. I will listen to feedback, but would like to voice my opinion that unlimited pickups is not something that I support. I've been in money leagues that charge you every time for any player acquisition, making you really think about what you do and who you pick up, so this may be an archaic rule of the fantasy football of yesteryear that I'm clinging on to and may be the only on who feels this way...

We have a limit on how many players we can add in a week? Been playing FF on Yahoo for over 15 years and have never heard of that.Really screwed me on some pickups I want to make.

My team as well.

But my opponent also laid an egg, so I still have a chance.

It was the first thing I did when I saw the news (after the profanity, of course).


So far so good.  Big smile
