That did not go as expected. Lacy broke out....sorry, who knew....

My "lock" RBs went down (Freeman and C West). Thankfully I picked up Chiefs as a last second D which now puts me at 95% chance of winning.

Eh, it was a three point difference. CJ didn't do terribly technically.

However, Devonta Freeman going down murdered me. Same with the Eagles Defense. It's 77 to 34 (PPR league), and I have Tom Brady and Charles Clay left. While not impossible to win, I'm fairly amazed at how miserable my team was today, whether it be Randall Cobb, Jeremy Maclin, Jarvis Landry with some of his worst output of the year, or Matt Bryant.
 
My buddy decided to offer me Emmanuel Sanders and Doug Martin for Langford.

I accepted that before he had a chance to think about it some more.
 
Picked up Rawls off of waivers this morning then dropped him because reports said Lynch would start, my opponent who has lynch picked him up a few hours later..... i'm so sick right now fucckk meee!

I've had Rawls on my bench as a cuff Since like week 2. As soon as I saw Lynch was out I swapped my lineup. He'll be on my bench as a cuff for the remainder of the season.

Also, very happy I didn't trade Lynch for Forsett and Dalton. Dodged a bullet there.

I'm gonna lose 114 to 115 after giving my opponent 36 points by dropping Rawls this morning. This is by far the biggest L ever, I'm s sick.

-Thomas Rawls
-Javorius Allen
-Spencer Ware

Rivers and Woodhead almost killed me today, but luckily I'm still only down 14 points with Gronk and Watkins tomorrow so I should def win in my main league, bringing my record to 8-3. Really need qb help though to win in the playoffs (Rivers and Bortles are my options at the moment…need to hit that waiver wire this week).

Out of the 4 RB in my game today, Freeman, Gore, Starks and Shaun Draughn

Shaun Draughn scored more than any two of them combined.

(I benched Gio-22, he benched Rawls-48)


I need Gronk + 5 vs Amendola tmrw night.

Wow, had no idea Lynch's season was in jeopardy.
Rawls says Marshawn Lynch told home he was passing him the torch today. And might be longer now.

Sports hernia specialist. Possible core muscle surgery on way. Typically 6 wk recovery, but hope can finish season.

Picked up Rawls last week when it was rumored Lynch was out. Played him and wound up getting absolutely destroyed. And this was after dropping Matt Jones for him. Looks like this could turn out to be one of my biggest pickups of the year if Lynch does end up being out. Currently have Allen on the waiver claim at #3, ready to drop Jennings for him.

Really hoping this turns my RB situation around.

Yeah, if Lynch is out then everyone needs to try to grab Rawls.

I'd rank them:
Rawls
Allen
Ware
Coleman
Bradshaw

Just have to monitor the bottom 3's situations. I don't think Char will play, but Freeman and Gore I'd like to think will go.
 
I guess it's time for my lame fantasy story this week.

Keeper league, 12 teams, really bad starters because I sold off everyone for draft picks or keepers (I have Arian Foster, Jamaal Charles and Le'Veon Bell on my bench, really!) It's so bad my best RB starter is Isaiah Crowell.

Anyway, I started a bunch of trash (David Cobb, etc) but it didn't really matter.

Thomas Rawls: 37.5
Jameis Winston: 29.8
Chiefs Defense: 20.0

That was enough to win! Maybe not enough to secure a playoff spot but enough to make it interesting.

Ware is only useful of Charmander can't play. He's proof that the Chiefs are still ideally setup for Jamaal Charles, and maybe that if you're not so focused on "resting" your starter there are rushing touchdowns to go around. But he may not even see the field if West is ready.

Allen is a guaranteed starter right now and if there's any ambiguity on Rawls he is the #1 add. The only problem is the Ravens stink and now they have Matt Schaub at QB. Rawls is a much, much better grab if Lynch status continues to not look good but you can't guarantee weekly production until we have stronger facts.

Another week of 2015 season fantasy football, another week of my studs putting up garbage. Does anyone else feel like every week they have good matchups their team craps the bed as hard as possible? Ugh. /rant

Played Derek Carr instead of Carson Palmer. Saw that Carson didn't have Floyd and saw John Brown was questionable with his hammy. Carson seems to be match-up proof.

I'm up by 9 with LaFell left to play. Opponent has Amandola and Gronk. Not liking my chances.

Guy in my league dropped Rawls on Friday, I picked him straight up and slotted him at 1pm west coast time on Sunday when I saw Lynch was out

Feels good man
 
Funny how these things come around. I've had Tevin Coleman on my bench all season. Picked up Charcandrick West when Jamaal went down and now Tevin may cover Charknado.

A friend is up 33pts with McCoy and Watkins left against his opponent's Gronk, Amadonla, and Gostkowshi. Should he worry? Standard 12 team league.

I have gostoski, clay, and k wills.

Need to hit 32 points to win todays match.

the last time the bills played the patriots these 3 players collectively got 40 points.

Hoping for a repeat.

Damn. Nothing worse than losing to your youngest brother in fantasy.

It's crazy though, he has the most points for in the league and is in 8th place lol.
 
As a Forsett owner (he is 4th/5th on my depth chart at RB) I am debating on whether to pick up Allen or go ahead and grab KC defense while I can since Denver's D hasn't been putting up the same numbers as before, plus they play NE next week (I am also a Brady owner).

I don't see Allen being effective with Flacco out for the year too. Defenses are going to stack the box, plus Forsett wasn't even that effective with a healthy Flacco.

I currently have Gurley, D. Murray, Hillman, and Woodhead at RB.

Get Rawls.
 
Get Rawls.

Brother already grabbed him before this week's game. After I suggested it to him since his RBs are awful....I will never make that mistake again.. Realistically I am 12/12 on the waiver wire so I wouldn't of had a chance in hell snagging Rawls if he didn't grab him already. I doubt I even get Allen.

So yeah I'm concerned right now :/

Adrian Peterson saved my ass last week. I picked up Rawls a week ago in both of my leagues. I only played him in my Yahoo league, since my Yahoo team isn't as strong. He saved my ass. Also, the person I went up against didn't pull Lynch.

I started out at 2-5 in this league. I'm now 6-5.
 
Well GAF, so far I am 9-2. I'm looking at my roster and I honestly don't know what to do to improve it. There's Rawls and Terrence Williams that could be good additions, but I don't really feel I need them. Is there something wrong with this line of thinking?

My roster
QB Rodgers
WR 1 DT
WR 2 Amari Cooper
WR 3 Crabtree
HB 1 Stewart
HB 2 Run DMC
TE Greg Olsen
Defense Kansas City

Bench consists of
Fatford
Chris Johnson (I might drop him for Rawls though)
Larry Fitz
Karlos Williams
Devin Funchess

So the starting RB on Seattle is available and you are debating even making a play for him? You are interested in keeping the backup on Buffalo, Matt Stafford, or the #2/3 receiver on Carolina over adding the top Seattle RB. Did I miss something?

Your roster is nowhere near good enough for you to be as content as you are. Get Rawls (and you're thinking of dropping Johnson over Stafford or Funchess?!?)

Okay, you both are right. I don't know what I was thinking. I don't know if I will get him because I am 8th on the waiver wire.

I am dropping Williams then because the hot streak may be over after last nights game.

Reason why I don't drop Fatford is if Rodgers gets hurt. The best ones on the waiver wire last I looked were Bortles and Jameis.

I don't want to drop Funchess because he can get better because he's getting better. I think Cam might go to him more.

I would rather have those two QBs tbh.

Bortles is far better than Stafford.

Besides, if Rodgers were to get hurt, then you'd be better just streaming every week.

How's Tampa's offense. I know Jameis had an awesome day and I don't know anything outside of Mike Evans is all. I might pick up Bortles then.

8th? You're not getting him, sorry.

Probably not. I got lucky and was able to McFadden 2 weeks ago at 10th. I doubt I'll get lucky again.

Bortles is far better than Stafford.

All right then, I'll pick up Bortles then.

Are you in a 8-10 team league? Bortles should not even be available. I regret dropping him a few weeks back when he and TyGod Taylor were during a bye at the same time I just couldn't carry 3 QBs. (The QB I drafted to start was Romo)

12 and I read wrong .. He was picked up. I thought he was still available.

#5 on my leagues wavier list this week. 3/4 of the people above me have pretty much given up on the season. The one who hasn't is good on RB with Ingram and Gurley.

Here's hoping for Rawls
