"Aldon Smith appears ready to rock"
Report was he could be playing "every snap" again as soon as this week.
FINALLY San Fran's defense will be what I expected when I drafted them.  They've been ok enough but the sacks he brings will be a nice addition. He's pretty much the reason I drafted them.

Wow you have 3 good players in an 8 team league. Duh. You would have to try to have a bad top of the draft. Early league success depends on depth.

Wow you can't count. Thought you were a math guy  . Fantasy football success depends on luck and being near a computer when a major injury occurs (or not being to cheap to buy a smartphone ). I was lucky last year, things have regressed to the mean.

But yes, in a 10 team league in which each team starts 8 players on offense each week having 3 of those be players that could have easily all gone in the 1st round of a lot of leagues drafts should put you in better stead than 3-6.

But on the other hand if the rest of your team is below average, that balances out to roughly even. Throw in an injury or two, and you're on the wrong side of .500. I think the biggest luck factor is the team you play each week. You could lead the league in points, but be 3-6 all because your opponents had good weeks every time you play them. Again why I agree that fantasy baseball requires much more skill and much less luck than fantasy football, assuming you're not playing head-to-head. Is there a fantasy football with this setup?

There are points leagues for football but, for whatever reason, they always suck. Maybe it's that it doesn't feel like you're involved in a real competition.

Why bother bro? We all know MoM's MO by now...every excuse under the sun (or other stars sometimes) instead of just accepting reality. I hate when most of your team is playing late & monday. You fall behind naturally and have to sweat it out all day! What's really kicked my ass is my failure to make moves. I've been slow, I've missed out on so many key pick ups but not this time...picked up Andre Brown. Running like a beast and he's gunna be the Giants main back now

Demaryius! 3 TD game already.
He's the epitome of boom/bust but damn what a boom today!
If Brees can shred the poor Dallas defense I'm in great position.

Wow, I was really sweating...Demarco Murray was having a great game and keeping me under the water...then Brees did what he does :D
250 yds and 3 TDs by halftime!

Congrats to Chaos Hermitique. You gave me a thorough Butt whooping this week. Perhaps I'll a have a chance to redeem myself against you in the playoffs. Until then, good luck the rest of the way.

Looks like an epic match up, little Pat. Especially now that I have a real #2 RB and not that bum BJGE!
Also Yahoo is whack. I know the Chiefs specialize on not giving anything to the defense, (mainly since they barely do anything at all on offense ) but tackle Eric Fisher has really struggled...Alex Smith doesn't hold up too well under pressure. I'm hoping for a good # of sacks and maybe even a pick or two...I mean the giants got two off him! I feel quite good about this game, though it could turn out the Chiefs are actually that good and my guys all get shut down. This is why I'll never bet $!

What can ya do? In a way better than second guessing and what if and that and this...ya just had some type of crazy game and I was just not gunna win. Like real life football it's nice to see scheming and planning fail and just see people beat the other (though sucks when you get said beating) Not much to do but move on!

So it appears that Nicks either is purposely sitting out, or he's been benched for his being a bitch. Either way, f**k you Nicks...you gave me a big fat zero (and I thought about starting Tavon Austin too  ) Also this winter weather game has really screwed me. Peyton apparently has taken the 1940s style of pass game. Get the ball to Demaryius! He makes sh*t happen. Thank god there's no $$ in this league
EDIT: WOW ugly ass win....was sweating major bullets man, one big pass or run in garbage time was RGII needed and I would've been toast.

The Downward Spiral...that's my fantasy team of late. I lost 3 in a row. Thankfully I have enough wins in the till to still make the playoffs.
